So can you carry on playing once the main questline is finished, like you could in oblivion?

You can carry on regardless, in fact the game will keep spawning small side quests.
Some people you meet will keep giving you quests.
Enchanting something from another town, killing someone, picking up something for someone, etc.

you sir, have a lot of fun ahead of you.

I love my Dragon Bone Armour, with an enchanted Glass War hammer.
Killing machine
With slow-mo on top of that.
I like my Glass War Mace (I think I stuck paralyze and cold on it), not too keen on my Dragonscale armour. Preferred the look of the Glass armour.

the dragon bone armor looks bad-ass
also once you`re up to legendary smithing, everything is great

Had this like 2 weeks and don't even think I've started the main quest, think I basically suck and are not made for RPGs.

I'm on 170 hours and am finally bored of it. Probably gonna start it again as an elf or something in the coming weeks. Best game I've played in a long, long time.

Hammerfell was covered in the elder scrolls II I believe. Valenwood with the giant tree things would be amazing.

This.

I havent played any of the others tbh, is it worth going back and playing oblivion after experiencing skyrim?

Yup, totally different games. Morrowind resembles Oblivion, Arena is a dungeon crawler and Daggerfall has a map 99% bigger than morrowind's but its landscape is randomly generated.

The levelling system in oblivion is fucking ridiculous mind, if you spend too much time jumping about you can ruin your whole character.

They shoud re-make morrowind as it was, but with better combat and graphics, that's all.

I`d do it anyway
I never had an issue with this on PC at Ultra high settings.
I never even bothered installing updates, it`s not like it was going to improve gameplay.

Why do I suck so hard?

Picked a High Elf because I was high, seemed appropriate. Only just onto the 2nd dragon with whatshername, but I think I'm going about this totally wrong.

Any recommended gear/apparel I should be rocking for this character? My magic skills are weak bro.

What level are you now? Might be worth doing a few sidequests/random dungeons to level up a bit first if you're finding it a bit tough. Stay away from any camps with magic users though, they're hard. Might be worth investing in some smithing to get your light armour up, and also putting some points into light armour if you're working on getting your magic better.
