So I started playing a bit (with the usual thief char) but almost everything in the game is inaccessible at low levels. I mean... wtf ?
That is why, any tips and trics for a new char are appreciated.
since you´re playing a thief, check out
Thieves Arsenal. it should expand your gameplay options.
do yourself a favor and install
Oblivion Xp. it replaces usage based levelling system with experience based one. it has profound influence on how you play the game, positively speaking. it should make playing a thief in OOO environment more bearable. oh, and you don´t get exp only for killing monsters, but for other activities like completing quests or discovering new locations as well.
both mods require
OBSE though.
ok, no more mod recs.
(though my bare minimum to make the game enjoyable would include MMM, Deadly Reflex, Race Balancing Project, L.A.M.E., DarkUId DarN, Better Cities, Unique Landscapes and The Stranded Light - Integration)
anyway, since my playthrough was with FCOM + 150 other mods and i´ve played the usual fighter/mage/thief char, i doubt i can give any useful advice, but generally i think there are good chances attempting to play a "pure" thief with OOO would result in excercise in futility, try to play thief/mage at least.
most dungeons are better to be left till you´re at least 10 level.
the usual PITA are spectral warriors - they have weakness to shock damage so use that to your advantage.
that said, i agree with Loriac that Oblivion is a difficult game to mod to the state it becomes playable and imo OOO certainly isn´t enough.
if you insist to play it anyway, join Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild, most of vanilla highlights are in these.
