Best Birthsigns in The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered

Once you’ve made the choice of race in The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered, you’ll further be asked to choose a birthsign for yourself. 

Although they seem pointless at first glance, choosing the appropriate birthsign will have a significant impact on the build that you would like to play while cruising through the main storyline and the various side missions. 

Best Birthsigns For Your Character in Oblivion Remastered

Choosing the best birthsign for your character is pretty difficult because it depends entirely on the class that you’re playing. Depending upon what playstyle you want to adopt, the following birthsigns are the ones that you should be going for:  

• Atronach – Mage 
• Warrior – Melee-based / Non-magic playstyle

Atronach

This birthsign is best if you’re pairing it with any of the three elven races in The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered. The main highlight here is the 150 Magica Boost, which is a massive thing for any mage class. Furthermore, it also gives you 50% magic absorption, which means, you won’t take any magic damage from one in every two hits. Since the elves are susceptible to fire, frost, and shock damage, this birthsign is an easy pick while playing a mage. 

Warrior

If you want to go with a non-magic playstyle, then the Warrior is a birthsign that you should be choosing. It’ll give you a boost to strength and endurance, which is essential when it comes to increasing your overall health pool. It doesn’t matter if you’re choosing to play melee or ranged weapons, the Warrior birthsign is the best that you can choose, especially during the early game stages.
