How to make and play the Best Rogue Build in Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered

If you love sneaking through shadows, talking your way out of trouble, and striking fast in battle, then the Rogue build in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered fits you down to a T. It's a nice mix of stealth, speed, and smarts; enough to separate you from just another sword-swinging hero. The following explains how to build and play the ultimate Rogue in Oblivion Remastered.

What makes Rogue special?

• Rogues do not rely on brute strength. They depend upon a couple of things: Speed and Personality.
• Speed allows you to glide around, dodging attacks and striking before enemies can react.
• Personality enables you to charm NPCs, haggle, and persuade others into assisting you.
• This just makes Rogues fun and fairly flexible: they can sneak around guards, talk past others into secret areas, and stab you right when you least expect it.

Step 1: Choose the right race, class, and skillsFor a stronger beginning, choose the Imperial race; they are good negotiators and proficient with a sword, which works perfectly with the Rogue style. Choose the Rogue class or customize one with those main features:

• Combat Specialization (to level faster in fighting skills)
  
• Speed and Personality are your two prime Attributes.
  

Choose these major skills:

• Blade: Daggers, shortswords, and long blades--your main weapons of choice.
  
• Light Armor: Keeping you fast and protected.
  
• Block: Protect yourself with that shield.
  
• Illusion: The magic of charming, invisibility, or lighting dark places.
  
• Mercantile: Buy low, sell high.
  
• Athletics: Running faster, swimming better, and long-distance moving.
  
• Alchemy: To produce poisons and potions that could help you.
  

Step 2: How to fight like a RogueThe rogue never stands up against enemies like a warrior. The rogue prefers to strike quickly and intelligently. For fast strikes and defense, a Shortsword and Shield is what you want.

Going sneaky? A Dagger is your perfect companion to creep up on enemies for surprise damage.

Need something ranged? A Longsword is still fast; we'll give it that, but allows you a little more reach.


Use your Illusion spells to affect your enemies' moods, turn invisible yourself, or charm some poor soul in a nearby tavern.

You may also choose to simply sneak around in some dungeons, coat your blade in poison, and take out the enemies silently while they have no idea what hit them!
Step 3: Get strongerEven though Rogues focus on Speed and Personality, it’s smart to boost Endurance early. It makes you healthier over time.

During the start of the game, you need to invest time leveling up:

• Block
  
• Heavy Armor
  
• Armorer
  

These skills help boost your Endurance level up to 100 pretty quickly. This way, you will be much tougher later on in the game. After this, you can fully concentrate on your Rogue playstyle.


Step 4: Join the right factions

• Thieves Guild: Steal stuff, sneak around, and sell stolen goods.
  
• Dark Brotherhood: Stealthy assassinations for gold and power.
  
• Fighters or Mages Guild: Bring in-Mixing different kinds of missions.
  

Such guilds and groups give you great quests, excellent rewards, and plenty of occasions for you to demonstrate your Rogue skill.

No, the Rogue build provides that: if you want to sneak around as a thief, do that! If you want to be a charming adventurer that can handle a blade as well, do that too.
