      This is such a great comment. You complimented the creator with a reference and you noted other creators for scrollers to check out. You’re doing the good work and I wish you well. Helping our creators this way is wonderful and should be normalized. Have a kind week, y’all.

    Fun fact: The quest where you escort Elante of Alinor is an easteregg to Morrowind. There is a fighters guild quest to escort a high elve scholar to a deadric shrine. With the name of Elante of Alinor. Another easteregg is Arvena Thelas which has a sister named Drarayne Thelas in Vardenfell (Morrowind). Which also hires the fighters guild, but to get rid of the rats that destroy her precious pillows. Shes obsessed with pillows.

      Not only that, but the first mission where you are sent to help out a dunmer with rats in her basement is referencing the first fighters guild quest in Morrowind, where you need to go into the basement and kill the rats. Its a little subversion of expectation for the people who remembered that quest from Morrowind

    • @tannisbhee7444
      @tannisbhee7444 2 місяці тому

      Not only not only that (looking @MrMyers758) but Drarayne Thelas quest in Vardenfell can lead to an Extra-Comfy Pillow easter-egg. This has nothing to do with Oblivion. Just thought the rabbit hole of easter-eggs is kind of funny

      Same! I played this game religiously as a sad poorly socialized middle schooler and it got me through some really tough times. I love that I can put this on in the background while I do other things. The narration is perfect and soothing and I get to indulge in a little bit of nostalgia.

    Modryn Oreyn has more than earned his role as second-in-command. He might not be the one who went out and did the action, but he did spark the investigation into the Blackwood Company, and didn't run in blindly, showing a restrained temper. Something important for the leader of a faction of warriors. He is also experienced enough to be a wise assistant to the new leader, who joined the guild only recently.

  • @beastmode_576

    Back whem oblivion was just released, I was so hyped for this game, and loved playing it. So much so, that I bought the official guide book too. I guess part of my love for the game spilled into reading about it, but I loved reading through the quests and everything else in that book.
    Your videos bring some of that magic back for me, so thank you truly!

    Funnily enough, my most recent playthrough (last summer, for the first time in almost 7 years) was a Fighters Guild-focused playthrough! I always wanted to do one (even my previous most-recent playthrough was a start of one) since Oblivion's main Alternate Start mod lets you start right in Anvil, so it was a really great way to experience the game all over again. It's nice to see you revisiting it as well!

    This was really great and I hope you'll continue this design of a video. You covered the details well while not getting bogged down, so the pacing and video length were good, which can really be the bane of a more "let's play" style video.
    It really causes that itch to want to play through it yourself without ruining doing so, a hard but great balance to have. I really enjoyed it.

    I’m sure someone has already mentioned it, but for the quest Amelion’s Debt, there is a way to keep the sword and cuirass. When you first meet Biene, there is an option to ask her how much her father’s debt is. If you have at least 1,000 Septims on your character, you can just give her the Gold to pay off the debt. If you do that, then she will tell you to go get the items from the tomb anyways and you can keep them.
    P.S I love your videos. I haven’t had time to play Oblivion since becoming a mum. So I listen to your videos while going about my day! ❤

    I do miss how rough and tumble some of the fighters guild quest feel. Some are these grande conspiracies like the black heart company, and others are just going to a bar to check on some grumpy guildmates making a fuss. Another is escorting a important person, another is going on a hunt to quell dangerous beasts that might hurt the populace and their animals.
    It really makes you feel like a small to intermediate time protector, which the fighter guild really is, filling that niche in the empire. Heroes and the imperial magistrate fill the higher protectors roll in the empire, while the guard is there to impose its laws and keep the general operations of the core empire up and running day-to-day without criminals and miscreants making a mess of everything.
    It's the closest thing you can really get to feeling like a folk hero instead of like some God hero in the elder scrolls. 😅

    You can pay Biene Amelion father’s debt with coin immediately after she mentions going to the cave to retrieve her families armor. I forgot exactly how much you can give her, but she immediately tells you to keep the armor.
    You can do this before, even getting to the location to get the armor. It completelyskips that side of the quest if you wanted.
    After the quest is complete, you can go pick up her family’s armor without it being stolen because she mentions that you can go and take it and have it.

    @Maxuras 10 місяців тому

    I think the Fighter's Guild Questline is one of the best parts of Oblivion. Oreyn might be the best NPC out there (sorry to Brother Martin).
    The really good thing is, the pacing, how random every day tasks are mixed up with the slowly developing story about Blackwood company.
    Only difference for me compared to the video was, that I covered for Maglir after the first default and would have wished he had not been willing to fight to the death.

  • @DeltaFiend
    @DeltaFiend 10 місяців тому

    I forgot how lengthy the Fighter's Guild questline was, but still pretty entertaining. It gets pretty interesting if you're playing as an argonian, as normally they would be immune to the sap's effect, yet the character still ends up having that bad trip. Modryn will even comment on it afterward, surprised by the results and somewhat horrified.

    • @kaworusilentpaw7246
      @kaworusilentpaw7246 Місяць тому

      It is quite terrifying when you play as an argonian on that. Depending on how you set up your character's backstory, if you were native born to black marsh you would have been given sap when born and even incubated in it as an egg. You would have naturally been used to th effects of the sap. But even if you made it so you were a none native argonian born somewhere else naturally still is horrifying since you aren't the only one suffering from these effects of th sap

    Also I know this is an unpopular opinion but the fighter’s guild is my favorite questline of all the guilds in elder scrolls games! It’s just a great way to make money early, level up skills and I like Modryn and Azzan. I also usually like to play lawful good characters so as much as I appreciate the DB and Thieves’s guild, I can’t help but not enjoy it cause I feel like a bad person doing it lol

    The quest involving the Goblins I usually have problems with. Now there's a type of player who does a quest where non essential NPCs play a role and if one dies and it doesn't impact getting achievements or completing the quest no harm done. But due to my brothers insistence when playing these games. I learned that if an NPC dies it's considered mission failure. So even if the quest is completed if a single guard dies then I reload. But I have two ways of doing this. Play the quest early and get weaker weapons as a reward and hope friendly NPCs don't die. Or I play the quest late game to get higher level quest items but risk the chance of said NPCs dying allot faster due to higher level enemies. With goblin mission it's rather easy but because of the log trap almost always the NPCs rush through the level killing goblins go past the logs but tripping the trap and get stopped before they can clear the room by a goblin and dies because of the logs so if I'm fast enough I either kill all the goblins myself or I go to the trap trip it and move the logs to the sides that way the foolish NPCs charging ahead don't get killed. To be honest they should have put a little dev update at the end of most quests that read something like this, "Hey you've made it all this way nice to see you've enjoyed the game. And I've noticed that you've protected every NPC and kept them alive through the quests given. And while we didn't make an achievement for this, we appreciate that you took the time to protect and defend the characters in the world we've created. We are glad to have such dedicated players going beyond what's expected of them. You've done well. Thanks for playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Sincerely yours Todd Howard at Bethesda Game Studios." But sadly they didn't think of that. However there is a bit of dialogue that's typically never seen. Due to quests like the Dark Brotherhood there is no ending quest. So even though you've beaten the quest line it never ends. You go collect your earnings wait a week or two and do it again. It never ends as far as I remember. And there might be a couple others like that as well. It could have been a bug or just an oversight error. But if you use console commands on the only platform not considered a Console which is a PC which infuriates me why call them console commands and yet the ones actually called gaming consoles don't have an console command option, stupid. Anyways if you use a command or what I call a cheat code. It will complete all quests and you'll get a line of which I can't recall at the moment. But if you have a PC use the command I'm sure you'll find it on one of those Oblivion web pages and find out for yourself. Anyways love these videos dude you should do more. Although other UA-camrs have done videos like these before but it would be refreshing to hear it from someone who isn't Australian or someone from England or someone from Scandinavia who constantly mispronounces names wrong even though the spoken dialog of the game clearly says how things are supposed to be pronounced. It's like when one of talks about Kotor 1 or 2 they pronounce Ebon Hawk as E Bon Hawk but the O is silent and is replaced with an E, Eben Hawk. Why they didn't just spell it that way is beyond me.

    If Oblivion had this ranking system that unlocks the guild halls, think abt the ranks for certain guild halls
    Fighters Guild Halls: unlocks at lvl 5
    Mages guild halls: unlocks at Lvl 10

    I just wanted to let you know, I'm binging your Oblivion videos right now. I'm a little obsessed with Oblivion again, but I have to wait to be paid to buy it on Steam, so these videos are scratching the itch. I really just want to kill everyone and steal stuff at the end of the day, but this is bringing up great memories of doing quests and alchemy.
