    Pretty crazy how Bethesda's team implemented a hello fresh in game delivery service back in 2006. It took a while longer until modders added dominos delivery in oblivion (this is a real mod)

      I'm guessing all Bethesda games have weird speedruns like this because of the engine and physics.

      @@osirisatot19 nvm speedrunning itself, but all games made by beth that use the same general engine have these issues.

      The item jumping from ~5mins looks like the precursor to the modern VLC clipping used in Fallout 4 runs, it's amusing seeing the same engine quirks persisting all this time.

    The under-city door in Oblivion is one of the coolest secrets/exploits in the entire arsenal of Bethesda games. Love that you made a video covering it.

    Nice video! At the beginning you say that the sole intended purpose for the paintbrush is to be sold, but it's worth 0 gold, so I would say its only purpose is for decoration ^^

    The chair saving with load warping is called "saddling". If you load warp without a saddle, you just go through the door like normal, with whatever character you loaded.

    10:00 "and this is where things with Oblivion NPCs start to defy reality"

    I imagine the game devs would be so conflicted about speedruns like these... on the one hand, you've invested all this time & effort into ironing out all the wrinkles in your game, only to have a bunch of players uncover glitches they can use to short-cut all that gameplay. On the other hand, you've captured the hearts & minds of a player group who are willing to invest an insane amount of time into playing your game but finding _their own ways_ to play it... giving it longevity. What an interesting conundrum!

    • @CAMSLAYER13
      @CAMSLAYER13 Рік тому +6

      Its not like they pick up a game and crack it open immediately. Some games are more breakable than others but it all still takes a solid time investment and knowledge of how the game progresses.

    "But even masterpieces have bugs" Lmao it is a Bethesda game. Their games are a stack of bugs in a trenchcoat. Seconds later "Except to be sold" shows a screen of the paintbrush being worth 0 septims.
