Yeah, it's fine that you don't get any better at combat without practising, but what's really annoying is that you get _much worse_ because everything else in the world has got far tougher.

I also find that very annoying. With Oblivion it's all about the mods I think. There are some very thorough overhauls, like Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, that pretty much fix most of the major irritations.

I also have to play that I played many, many hours of Oblivion very cheerfully before I really realised what was going on with the levelling, so it didn't bother me.
