First time playing Oblivion I played the shit out of Morrowind when it came out years ago but for some reason never played Oblivion. With Skyrim on its way I figured I should do a play through of Oblivion just to keep things current. The only mod I put on is the unofficial Oblivion patch. Ive been playing for just under 5 hours and love the game. I haven't even leveled up once yet tho. How long should it take to level up my damn character?

Also, any recommended mods that will greatly enhance my Oblivion experience?
