With the release of Oblivion Remastered last week, the fourth Elder Scrolls instalment is back in the limelight. A heartening aspect of this re-release is seeing Oblivion veterans rise to the occasion and advise newcomers on the complexities and idiosyncrasies of their beloved game.
There's a lot to wrap your head around in Oblivion, especially if the only Elder Scrolls game you've played is Skyrim. There's the odd level scaling on enemies and loot, the wonderful spellcrafting system, and, of course, the mythical goblin wars.
There's a specific main quest in Oblivion, Blood of the Daedra, where Martin asks you to get him a Daedric artifact to help him open a portal to Mankar Cameron's Paradise. Although he highlights the nearby Shrine of Azura, you should not listen to him.
As highlighted by Leaperdaemonking in a recent Reddit post, the quest reward for finishing Azura's quest, Azura's Star, is one of the most powerful Daedric artifacts in the game. Azura's Star is essentially a reusable grand soul gem, and a means of recharging enchanted weaponry that have run out of charge.
At all points in the game, but especially in the late game, enchanted weapons are the most powerful...
