Most definitely it is not critical to go the +5 to attributes levelling scheme. It all depends how you like to play. For myself I usually micromanage +5s until I get my important attributes maxed (or close to maxed), and then I just play without thinking too much about it. Also the goal of the game is not neccessarily to get all attributes to 100. One can most definitely complete all the quests without having a maxed out character. I personally have a tendency to make lots of different types of characters, and I have never finished everything with each one. In WoW we called it Altitis, in Oblivion I call it role playing.
