In Oblivion Remastered , the Luck attribute has several important effects:
- Luck increases all your skills by a hidden bonus when your Luck is above 50. Specifically, each skill is boosted by 40% of the amount your Luck exceeds 50. For example, if your Luck is 70, your skills get a +8 boost (40% of 20) except for Speechcraft, Athletics, and Acrobatics, which are unaffected by Luck
- This Luck-based skill boost does not count towards unlocking skill perks, which depend on your base skill levels without the Luck bonus
- Luck also improves chance-based events in the game, such as:
- Reducing the chance that lockpicks break
- Reducing the chance that repair hammers shatter
- Increasing the chance of proccing special weapon effects like Mehrunes' Razor's insta-kill
- Increasing success in gambling and avoiding diseases
- Luck is harder to level than other attributes because it costs more Virtue points per level up, balancing its broad but subtle benefits. You can only invest a limited number of points into Luck per level, so it’s generally not efficient to max it out early
- While Luck provides a broad skill boost and helps in random chance events, it is not mandatory to level it heavily. Many players find it useful to invest some points occasionally but focus more on other attributes that directly affect their playstyle
In summary, Luck in Oblivion Remastered quietly enhances your overall skills and improves your odds in chance-based situations, but it requires careful investment due to its higher cost and limited perk synergy
