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

Send Push
In a world full of magic, danger, and adventure, sometimes the best way to win is with raw strength. If you enjoy charging into battle and crushing enemies with pure power, the Barbarian build in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered is made for you. This style of play skips the fancy magic and stealth, and instead focuses on big weapons, tough armor, and brute force. It’s all about getting in close, hitting hard, and surviving anything the enemy throws at you.

How to make Barbarian BuildCharacter creation in Oblivion is all about more than surface appearance. A race establishes the tone early for a Barbarian, Redguards shine here because of natural Strength and Endurance boosts, not to mention poison disease resistance-a perfect biomarker for the rugged life of a melee brawler.

On top of this, add The Warrior Birthsign, which gives +10 Strength and Endurance. The combination does not only afford a good early-game foundation but also makes sure that Health pool scales better over time because Endurance plays a role in HP gain at each and every level, and is not at all retroactive. Many have regretted doing otherwise:-investing early.


So which Attributes shall be prioritized for you? Strength drives the damage, Endurance ensures durability, while Speed brings the crush up to your target in a shockingly efficient, brutal way.
How to choose the pathThough Oblivion gives you canned base classes like Barbarian or Knight, you can hardly go wrong with a custom class that fits the spirit of your own brand of barbarism. Pick Combat for your specialization so that you may advance melee skills naturally, and create a major skill set that includes offensive and defensive skills in almost equal measure.

Recommended major skills
  • Blunt: Your bread and butter. Blunt weapons such as the Daedric Mace or Warhammer are lethal.
  • Blade: Flexibility in melee options; useful if you want speedier attacks.
  • Block: Because even a raging beast needs to know how to defend.
  • Heavy Armor: Your walking fortress.
  • Armorer: Essential for self-sustaining within dungeons and on long treks.
  • Athletics: Increases your mobility and stamina regen, really useful when it comes to long fights.
  • Hand to Hand: Optional, but a fun way to mess around when unarmed.
Weapons and armor choicesA true Barbarian doesn't skulk in the shadows. He invests in the heaviest, hardest-hitting weapons. Daedric, Orcish, and Ebony gear are all excellent picks. Blunt weapons should be your focus, making the most of your skill investment; but a decent Blade to have on hand for faster enemies is a good call as well.

When it comes to armor, Heavy Armor all the way. Yes, it'll make you a bit slower-but you might as well be a close-quarters god with the tanking abilities you'll wield in front of your foes. Enchant with Fortify Strength, Reflect Damage, and Resist Magic, fitting your brawler style.


As a Barbarian, you will go into a battle with chaos. High damage output, crazy durability, wanna-carry-everything capacity-these are the tools to be reckoned with. Forget about finesse, though; expect to be slow, and fight hard against ranged magic foes while they sling their dirty spells at you.

Still, rushing a bandit camp while shrugging off those pesky arrows and raining earth-shattering blows is incomparable.
Tips to play
  • Avoid churning skills that early are not converging to Strength, Endurance, or Speed.
  • Train with NPCs only when you hit a plateau; spare the grinding.
  • Balance your offensive skills and defensive ones; survivability counts when face-to-face against a bunch of trolls, ogres, or something worse.
  • Keep a way of mobility with heavy armor; athletics and bonuses from speed attributes are crucial.
The Barbarian build in Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered is not just a character; it's a lifestyle. It belongs to those players who want to dominate the battlefield with raw power, thrive amidst the chaos of melee battles, and want a build that feels equally fierce at level 40 as it does at level 4. So grab your hammer, strap on that Daedric plate, and tell Cyrodiil, the Barbarian has arrived.
