All Attributes and Vitals in Oblivion Remastered, explained

If you're jumping into Oblivion Remastered and trying to figure out what all the stats mean—like Willpower, Luck, or Fatigue—you're not alone. Attributes and vitals can be a bit confusing at first, especially with all the other things going on in the game.

This guide breaks it all down in a simple, clear way so you can understand what each stat does and why it matters for your character build.

What are the Attributes in Oblivion Remastered?

Attributes are your main character stats. They control important things like how much health you have, how fast your magicka regenerates, how much damage you deal, and how people react to you. You can see them in the second tab of the character menu.

There are 8 Attributes in total. Their values usually range from 0 to 100, but temporary effects (like potions, spells, or curses) can push them above or below that.

You get attribute bonuses from your Race, Birthsign, and Class, and when you level up, you get 12 points to spend across any Attributes you want.

If a stat is green, it means it’s temporarily increased. If it’s red, it’s temporarily decreased.

Vitals are your basic resource bars. They include Health, Magicka, and Fatigue. These stats go up and down during gameplay and are affected by your Attributes.

Health

• Color: Red
• What it does: This is your life bar. When it hits zero, your character dies.
• Affected by: Strength and Endurance

Magicka

• Color: Blue
• What it does: Used to cast spells. Regenerates slowly over time or with gear and potions.
• Affected by: Intelligence and Willpower

Fatigue

• Color: Green
• What it does: Works like stamina. Used when sprinting, jumping, swinging weapons, or doing physical actions. Lower fatigue means you're less effective in combat.
• Affected by: Willpower and Agility

Encumbrance

• Color: Not shown as a bar
• What it does: This is your carry weight limit. If you carry too much, you won’t be able to move.
• Affected by: Strength

FAQs

How do I level up Attributes in Oblivion Remastered?

• You get 12 Attribute points every time you level up. You can put them into any of the 8 Attributes. Your Race, Class, and Birthsign also give you some bonuses when you start.

Can Attributes go above 100?

• Yes, temporarily. Buffs from spells, gear, or potions can push them above 100, but natural base values cap at 100.

Does Luck really matter?

• Yes, but not as much early on. Luck gives small bonuses to all skills if it's above 50. Below 50, your skills are slightly less effective.

What’s the best Attribute to raise first?

• It depends on your build. For warriors, Strength and Endurance are good. Mages should raise Intelligence and Willpower. Agility and Speed are better for stealthy or ranged builds.

What happens if my Fatigue runs out?

• You’ll be less effective in combat. Your attacks might miss more, and you can get staggered or knocked down more easily.
