| In Oblivion the risks and rewards are tied tightly to your level. You never run into anything that can squash you like a bug, but you never get any magic items that make you feel invincible either. And unfortunately, the stats on magic items don't level up with you, so that magic weapon that was way cooler than an iron longsword at 1st level will probably be collecting dust in a display case with your other keepsakes by the time you hit 10th level. In stock Oblivion the only way to get the most powerful version of any leveled item is to wait until you hit level 25 before you do the quest to get it, although there are several mods on the PC that try to make the risk/reward equation a little less predictable.
I'm still a relative noob to Morrowind (yeah, played them backwards, long story), but it seems to me like you can get items that are more powerful than you would be able to get at the same level in Oblivion (although you have to fight things that are way tougher than you are to get them).
