I'm just saying from start to finish it's inevitable to not become a badass and if you don't become a badass you're going to have a hard time beating the game. Besides it's kind of hard to roleplay when almost everyone has the same voice with stuffty dialogue, horrible RPG system, no actual jobs available, people will kick your ass just for moving a fork, etc.
I mean what are you seriously going to do all day in Oblivion, pretend to be a farmer all day? That sounds incredibly boring and you can't become an actual farmer either.
