The number of levels in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is not fixed and depends on your character's skill increases. You level up each time you increase your Major Skills by a total of 10 points and then rest. Since you can continue to increase skills even after reaching level 50, the effective maximum level can be higher depending on how you develop your skills, class, and birthsign
- The base level cap is generally around 50.
- You can gain additional levels beyond 50 by maximizing skills and using special items like the Oghma Infinium, which grants extra skill increases.
- Some exploits and game mechanics (such as going to jail) can also allow further leveling beyond the normal cap.
- In the remastered version, both Major and Minor Skills contribute to leveling, making it easier to gain levels beyond the original limits
In summary, there is no strict maximum level in Oblivion; your character's level can exceed 50 based on skill progression and certain in-game methods, potentially reaching well beyond that with careful play.
