Oblivion combat could be summed up as, run backwards, cast the fireball spell you're given freely at the beginning forever. This continues to be a viable, working method of defeating any number of enemies, any kind of enemy, until the end of the game.

Yep.

...That's exactly how I did combat in Morrowind as well, and all other aRPGs I've played that lacked a functioning dodge mechanic. So, basically all of them except Risen. And maybe Gothic II. It was so long ago I played it, I honestly can't remember.

edit: stupid phone always making me type wrong.

Don't hesitate to go into oblivion gates early. You can get some extremely nice magical items from there.

There are a limited number of gates, though, and the rewards scale with you upon entry, so it's more rewarding to walk in at a high level.

There's two gates that you need to destroy in the main quest (before you happen to destroy them all) if I remember correctly, and honestly that will probably hold you over for a while.

So long as you don't finish the main quest, gates respawn every [insertnumberhere] days.  3 if I remember correctly.  Might be wrong.

Pretty sure there's only 51 gates + the quest ones

There's a limited number of gates placed at set locations, yes, but they do re-open. The way I think it works is that specific gates become active at specific points on the main quest, and whenever there's a respawn in the region the game makes a roll for each active gate to see if it actually opens. If... that makes sense.
