Step 3: Pick Your Class
The base Nightblade class is solid out of the box. It comes with a blend of magic, speed, and agility-focused skills that define the playstyle. But if you want to fine-tune your gameplay, consider making a custom class with these recommendations:

Major Skills:
Destruction
– Your main damage dealer (fire, shock, frost — take your pick)

Alteration
– Shield spells, unlock doors, feather for carrying loot
Acrobatics
– Jump high, move fast, look cool
Athletics
– Run faster, regen fatigue quicker
Restoration
– Heal yourself in and out of battle
Light Armor
– You're not a tank. Stay light, stay mobile.
Step 4: Choose the Right Equipment
Weapons
:
Daedric Dagger
or
Shortsword
– Fast, deadly, and perfect for finishing off wounded foes
Armor
: Combine
Shrouded Armor
(for stealth) with
Glass Armor
(for speed and agility).
Spells
:
Destruction
:
Fireball, Lightning Bolt
Alteration
:
Shield, Feather
Restoration
:
Heal, Fortify Health
Step 5: Join the Right Factions
Start with the Mages Guild. You'll get access to spell crafting, enchanting, and trainers. As you progress, unlock the Dark Brotherhood if you want that assassin flavor to your gameplay. Sneaky kills + magic? Yes, please.
How to Actually Play a Nightblade Build?
Your biggest advantage is control—you decide how the fight goes. Magic gives you options. Speed gives you positioning. And blade weapons give you that brutal final touch. Here are some more tips:
Start fights from a distance with a powerful Destruction spell
Dash in and finish the job with your blade
Shield up with Alteration spells if things get hairy
Use Invisibility to escape, sneak, or reset the fight
Heal mid-combat to outlast your enemies
Final Thoughts
The Nightblade in
Oblivion Remastered
is one of the most flexible and fun builds to play. Whether you're flinging fireballs or plunging daggers into unsuspecting enemies, it's all about staying quick, hitting hard, and keeping your enemies off balance.

Before 'Hera Pheri 3' Paresh Rawal criticised Bollywood for making sequels to MINT MONEY; claimed, "Phir Hera Pheri' lost its innocence"
Even 25 years after its release, the 'Hera Pheri' franchise remains an iconic part of Indian cinema. Behind the humour and nostalgia, actor Paresh Rawal , who played the beloved Baburao, was in the news over his controversial exit from the project. However, did you know that the actor once gave a surprisingly honest take on why he wasn't fully on board with the sequel, 'Phir Hera Pheri'. In an old interview with Siddharth Kannan, Paresh Rawal admitted that he felt the second film had lost the charm that made the original so special. "It lost its innocence," he said, pointing out how the story became too cluttered in an effort to outdo its predecessor. He revealed that he even warned director Neeraj Vohra not to overfill the script with unnecessary elements. 'People will laugh at anything,' Rawal noted, 'but we don't have to run naked for laughs.' His message was clear, simplicity was the real strength of the first film. Rawal also touched on a larger issue: the trend of making sequels purely for profit. Speaking in another interview with The Lallantop, he criticized Bollywood's tendency to recycle characters and slap on new jokes, just to cash in. "A sequel made only to mint money isn't fun,' he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Зачем поджигать лавровый перед сном? Undo Despite being one of the franchise's most iconic characters, Rawal has often spoken about feeling trapped by Baburao's image. He called the role a 'gale ka phanda' (a noose around the neck) and shared his frustration over being typecast. While fans still cherish Baburao, Rawal feels the character has more depth to explore, if only filmmakers were willing to take that leap. 'There's either a lack of imagination or just plain laziness,' he said. Now, with 'Hera Pheri 3' in the works and Rawal reportedly not part of it, fans and co-stars alike are hoping for a resolution, on and off screen.

Nostalgia: Akshay Kumar bursts into laughter watching his first-ever screen test
Akshay Kumar is surely one of the most versatile actors in Bollywood and his career journey is surely inspirational. Before the action star image, before the mega-hits and patriotic blockbusters, Akshay Kumar was just another young man chasing his Bollywood dream. Let's take a look at a rare throwback clip which gives a peek at his very first screen test, shot for his 1991 debut, 'Saugandh'. The footage resurfaced during a rerun of 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai', where host Farooq Shaikh surprised Akshay with the video during their chat. That Hair, That Energy, Even Akshay Couldn't Hold Back As the screen lit up with his younger self showing off martial arts moves, Akshay burst into laughter. 'Look at my hair!' he said, clearly amused and slightly embarrassed. With his long locks and raw performance, it's a far cry from the polished star we know today. Farooq joined in, and the two shared a good laugh. It's not often that we get to see stars watch themselves in such early, awkward moments—and enjoy them with such honesty. From Nervous Newcomer to Bollywood Mainstay The clip may be from the '90s, but it still resonates.

IC Markets Start Now Undo While detailing the matter, she also shared that Jong Suk had been suffering from financial issues, as he had become a victim of an investment scam. She shared that 'He was under extreme financial and emotional distress due to an investment scam committed by an acquaintance.

Allegations surrounding ex-girlfriend's abuse denied His sister also provided further detail about what happened that day to clarify any speculations. She stated that: 'Jong Suk and his girlfriend were drinking separately with their own acquaintances. When he couldn't reach her, he became worried and went to her home with a friend.
