Q:

Character Building tips for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion?

What are your good tips/strategies for making a good character build in Oblivion?

A:

The Elder Scrolls Wiki has a lengthy article on this very topic: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Character_Creation
Perhaps the biggest: Plan from the beginning as to what kind of character you want to play. If you want to play a brawling fighter-type, eschewing magicka entirely, the Atronach might be a better sign than if you were making a mage. (Or inversely, a Dunmer[Dark Elf] with the sign of the Lord (I think it's the lord) won't suffer increased fire damage because of their innate racial resistance to it.)
