Attribute Locking - Slightly Disgusted, 10 Major skill increases - Attributes locked. Options

[Hellbeans]

In morrowind, after you made your first 10 major skills and leveled up, you could still go raise your minors and contribute to your attributes for those perfect +5's.

Obviously, in Oblivion it isnt so.

Regardless, Ive found a mod for the PC *grunt* that lets you play it the old way.
Some people say (also perfectionists like myself) work the system.

Which means that, you need to watch every step you make in order to first raise your minor skills and get the attribute contributions.

I find that abit constrictive, and Ive even wrote a letter to Bethshmesda about this.
It was long.

What do you all think?

I think I just work on my minor skills until they're built before working on my majors...

as long as you have 1 major skill that you leave at a low level you'll have plenty of time to use up your minors to get your +5...

it's a game mechanic, the fact that it works that way isn't really a big deal. If you're not using certain skills why do you want to build them up... IF you don't use them.

I think the way it works is more true to life then the other way. you have people who are really good at the things they do all the time and the things they don't do they arn't really good at. No one is perfect.

No one is perfect.

Except for my Breton who is 100 in everything. (Morrowind obviously)

I think a read in a guide someone described it nicely.
You can either choose to be god, or you can choose to have fun.
But I think you can even it out to 30-70%, depending on how obsessive you are about getting that perfect character.

Im not trying to say oblivion isnt a step in the right direction for the series, but when youv'e played every roleplaying game in existence, you know from Nethack to Fallout to Baldurs Gate to Morrowind and now Oblivion, you look for justification.

Or maybe thats just me?
