[TEXT] Old but gold - The leveling messages from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

  • Level 2 - You realize that all your life you have been coasting along as if you were in a dream. Suddenly, facing the trials of the last few days, you have come alive.

  • Level 3 - You realize that you are catching on to the secret of success. It's just a matter of concentration.

  • Level 4 - You've done things the hard way. But without taking risks, taking responsibility for failure... how could you have understood?

  • Level 5 - Everything you do is just a bit easier, more instinctive, more satisfying. It is as though you had suddenly developed keen senses and instincts.

  • Level 6 - You've learned a lot about Cyrodiil... and about yourself. It's hard to believe how ignorant you were, but now you have so much more to learn.

  • Level 7 - You resolve to continue pushing yourself. Perhaps there's more to you than you thought.

  • Level 8 - The secret does seem to be hard work, yes, but it's also a kind of blind passion, an inspiration.

  • Level 9 - So that's how it works. You plod along, putting one foot before the other, look up, and suddenly, there you are. Right where you wanted to be all along.

  • Level 10 - You woke today with a new sense of purpose. You're no longer afraid of failure. Failure is just an opportunity to learn something new.

  • Level 11 - Being smart doesn't hurt. And a little luck now and then is nice. But the key is patience and hard work.

  • Level 12 - You can't believe how easy it is. You just have to go... a little crazy. And then, suddenly, it all makes sense, and everything you do turns to gold.

  • Level 13 - It's the most amazing thing. Yesterday it was hard, and today it is easy. Just a good night's sleep, and yesterday's mysteries are today's masteries.

  • Level 14 - Today you wake up, full of energy and ideas, and you know, somehow, that overnight everything has changed. What a difference a day makes.

  • Level 15 - Now you just stay at your peak as long as you can. There's no one stronger in Tamriel, but there's always someone younger... a new challenger.

  • Level 16 - You've been trying too hard, thinking too much. Relax. Trust your instincts. Just be yourself. Do the little things, and the big things take care of themselves.

  • Level 17 - Life isn't over. You can still get smarter, or cleverer, or more experienced, or meaner... but your body and soul just aren't going to get any younger.

  • Level 18 - With the life you've been living, the punishment your body has taken... there are limits, and maybe you've reached them. Is this what it's like to grow old?

  • Level 19 - You're really good. Maybe the best. And that's why it's so hard to get better. But you just keep trying, because that's the way you are.

  • Level 20 - By superhuman effort, you can avoid slipping backwards for a while. But one day, you'll lose a step, or drop a beat, or miss a detail... and you'll be gone forever.

  • Level 21+ - The results of hard work and dedication always look like luck. But you know you've earned every ounce of your success.
