It's a side effect of the enemies levelling with your character. If your character doesnt increase combat skills while levelling up you will actually end up weaker compared to the enemies than you were at lower levels. I guess they found that Morrowind levelled monsters (cliff racers being replaced by netches) were levelling up too slowly.

Its the biggest complaint against the game, and it makes thieves and other low damaging chars pretty unplayable at later levels. Not to mention that any quest with allies (who dont get better equipment due to levelling up) will be a tad different at higher levels.

There are mods to fix the problem. I used Oscuros Oblivion overhaul while I was playing, but the game was still boring as the biggest flaw is the lack of quests and guilds. You play it through once, do all quests, and thats it... I want to be able to specialize my char and still get a full game's worth of playing in an RPG.

Oh well, NWN2, Gothic 3, and Realms of Arkania 4 will be around within a year or two..
