Stepping into Oblivion Remastered is taking a step back in time. Among the ages-old archetypes, the Knight stands proudly as a symbol of honor, courage, strength, and some charisma. Amidst remastered mechanics rocking the old meta, here is how to make an intimidating and noble Knight fitting for the new age of Cyrodiil.
What is Knight Build?
The first step to making a legendary knight is the character creation action, of which every choice will ripple throughout the rest of your journey. Start well with the
Imperial race
for maximum synergies. Being a Knight, it accentuates Strength and Personality and has social finesse through racial powers such as Voice of the Emperor, which would allow easier persuasion and influence among Cyrodiil's many factions.

Your class? Go with the classic-Knight class. It is still the most balanced base to work from. This class has major skills in Blade, Blunt, Block, Heavy Armor, Illusion, Speechcraft, and Hand to-Hand; it is meant for melee supremacy and respect in dialogue.
As for your birthsign, go no further than The Warrior. A +10 boost with this sign gives both Strength and Endurance-a perfect pairing for damage and survivability, especially since Endurance directly affects Health gain per level. This early on in Oblivion Remastered, that buff could mean everything in turning the tide on those tougher encounters.
Weapon and strategies
The Knight build is really meant for longswords and claymores: weapons that balance between speed and power. Just want to be another killing machine? Equip either a warhammer or battle axe and chop foes in two. Prefer to defend? Pair a longsword with a strong shield and dominate the battlefield in blocking prowess.
More tightly balanced weapons and armor are in Remastered, so don't neglect your gear upgrades. Get enchanted heavy armor first for survivability, then seek out weapons with elemental effects or absorb enchantments because these will ultimately give you the edge in fights that last longer.
Charm and Command: Personality's Power. The Knight is neither just a blade in the dark nor is it the only symbol for hope and order. Enchant, calm, or control NPCs with the Illusion magic and Speechcraft. NPC AI has also been tweaked from the oblivion remastered version. This would make social interactions between one and another NPC important. From negotiating peace to convincing anyone to yield, skills based on personality will add layer and effectiveness to your roleplay.
Tips and tricks
Start training Endurance in the beginning. Health gains are not to be considered retroactive, thus, it becomes important that you boost this stat as early on as possible.

Avoid having overlapping attributes in your major skills. It is tempting to load such, say, Strength-associated skills, but diversification will allow you to maximize stat gains during level-ups.
Use minor skills strategically. Minor skills like Athletics or Armorer, both of which are governed by Endurance, can easily train towards rounding up your build.
The Knight has been redefined as just a brawler on plate armor in Oblivion Remastered into a creature of charm, steel, and resilience. The right race, class, and mindset will surely have your path carved through Cyrodiil as legendary as the old ways combined with the remastered might of the new.
Prepare your steel, unfurl your banner, and trample your way into the chivalric fire within you, your destiny awaits.
