Both major and minor skills affect level progress now which makes everything way smoother. Every level you get 12 attribute points to work with, spread em across three different stats but remember you cant do more than 5 in one stat at a time. Interesting thing about luck, it works different costs 4 attribute points for each increase and you can only bump it once per level.

Those seven major skills you pick at the start still matter since they level faster and start higher, but the cool part is every skill counts toward getting stronger now. Makes way more sense than the old system where you had to focus only on major skills, plus you can actually use the skills you want without messing up your build. Practice still makes perfect though so keep swinging those swords and picking those locks if you wanna get better at em.

Good to know the attribute points situation is pretty forgiving now, you cant really mess up your character too bad just make sure youre actually using the skills you wanna get better at

is weakness stacking still in the game?

so in the original oblivion there is this stacking weakness to magic which really buffs up your magic damage and ik this is one of the best strategies when dealing with bosses and tanky enemies. idk if it exists or not but i also heard one discord member yapping about how its broken but its boring at the same time (we both agree cuz i want to go melee mode)
