Woah this video kinda blew up! When I first made this series it had like less then 20 views for months so I put aside the idea. I enjoyed doing this challenege and wouldn't mind returning to it in the future! 😁
Why do I get the impression that a naked Florida Man who runs through the portal and starts fist fighting a gromite is the kind of champion Sheogorath would dream of?
When the room turned to butterflies as a kid my mind melted and I fell in love with this game even more. Also I never thought I would be scared of haskill
Ikr its one of the coolest effects I've seen since and I loved how if you messed with Sheogorath he would put you in your place real quick as a Daedra would lol 😂
Well yeah even on the normal difficulty if you don't do near perfect levelling you get fucked. Even on the lowest difficulty with bad levelling you will get screwed after the hardest enemies start scaling.
well you only level based on the progress of your selected major skills, so if you pick major skills and then never level them you can become extremely buff at level 1 and the world never scales, but obviously that's not a very fun way to play the game lol
@@circleturtles You could also never sleep to stay at lvl1 and have mastered majors, it's really the only way to play for replays for me since different classes can have major differences in power and scale better or worse, though you'll miss a lot of content if you do it for a first playthrough.
The difficulty scaling is appropriate when you consider the power of some of the builds. The Mage's Guild questline combined with max alchemy can make you nearly unstoppable.
Ok no joke, but this is kind of exactly how I played it the first time. So, I started my first play through of oblivion and I decided lets do this weird door mission, not realizing it was the shivering isles DLC. I beat the entire thing then I go back to the capital city and lleveled up for the first time and realized that it could've probably been way easier. I leveled up 15 times the first time I actually slept in a bed somewhere after doing the shivering isles quest line.
I find it a bit of a stretch that you didn't know the SHIVERING ISLES was part of the SHIVERING ISLES DLC, when the quest pops up randomly with all the OTHER dlc quests when you exit the sewer. Ignoring the idea that you managed to complete the whole thing, on your very first character, didn't sleep once during the whole event, and still didn't figure out you shouldn't have been there yet.
When you first meet the Gatekeeper he is fighting a group of adventurers,i think 2 or 3 of them die leaving a full set of steel armour and a weapon each,really helps at the start. Great channel btw 👍
I did enjoy Dragonborn quite a bit(it’s actually been one of my favorite gaming experiences ever) and I thought Dawnguard had some great moments(my jaw hit the floor when I saw the snow elf for the first time, something about that was so freaking awesome to me, and the two dragons in the frozen lake were also a good moment) but it could have been better overall.
When I was a kid I would always hit up the shivering isles after I’d make a character cause there’s a group of adventures with steel armor and weapons who die to the gatekeeper as soon as you see him
You should do more, seeing people play The Shivering Isles is always a pleasure, and with your challenge on top it's great. I love how it is as if Sheogorath compelled your character to come to his realm and enter naked, to be sure to get the best Champion
Alright, listen here BUDDY. I demand you start this series back up because of how entertaining it is. I played through mostly everything in Oblivion, and this has made me want to play it again. KEEEEEEEP GOOOOOING
You should definitely make more of this series 10/10 would watch every episode. Side note, been watching all your elder scrolls content love it keep it up my dude 😎
What I like to do is, when you're supposed to escort jauffree and martin to cloud ruler temple just don't. It's fun to take them to like kvatch and watch them fight monsters. They're great pawns.
You have to summon them into the butterfly room with the console cos they won't follow you, then when they get there they only say I HAVE NO GREETING. But they'll still follow you around and fight. You might be able to fix their dialogue with a behavior package or something. If anybody figures it out, I need to know.
@@-roejogan- Theres a mod that called 'Shivering isles door usable' which allow companions go through the strange door. heres the link: www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/14739/?tab=description
Please return to this series! I found it last night thinking it was new, and was kinda sad finding out there were no more. You're living out my dream of replaying the shivering isles but with a twist.
Here is the thing guys, in lower levels when the goblins use their weapon they deal actually LESS damage to you instead using their hands, when their weapon breaks and they attack you with their hands they will deal WAY more damage. Meaning that the dagger is a joke and this little frog thing almost killed him with 2 hits, because it does not use a weapon.
Very good video i enjoyed it a lot. Now i need to try this, i never before try to beat oblivion at max difficulty always find it hilarious but its a awesome way to make the dlc content different and longer
This is so much better than Skyrim videos, fek, whenever I watch Skyrim videos I never get the urge to reinstall it, but this and your Morrowind videos are making me want to reinstall them, maybe I'll buy them off steam so I don't have to look for the discs.
@@TheDsRequiem yep skyrim was casual as fuck. And I thought oblivion was casual coming from morrowind. In retrospect, give me oblivion back. Games just keep getting dumbed down year after year.
Shivering Isles is one of the best expansions in any RPG in my opinion. I remember when I first played it, I felt I was tripping on acid the whole time, it was great.
Hand-to-Hand is the most useful melee skill for the hardest difficulty IMO. Even just the backwards power attack+a damage fatigue spell works wonders. I have an unarmored Dark Elf monk and I've had more fun with Hand-to-Hand than any of the other melee combat skills lol. Meanwhile the only use I've found for bows on the hardest difficulty is applying poisons
When you mentioned the gatekeeper I realized You could've started the killing the gate keeper quest where the band of adventurers attempt to kill the keeper but they all die trying. They all have full steel armor and shields and weapons and potions. That would have been a nice way for you
NPC's and summoned creatures raise with the difficulty setting too. That's why on my max difficulty builds I use conjuration and take a follower from the Battleborn Castle DLC (think that's what it's called) at the start of my game. Just spam a low level conjuration spell until you hit 50.
i love the shivering isles so such a wild dlc! good to see ya doing a challenge with it i hope you make a new one i enjoy your longer videos like this one.
Shivering isles is one of my favorite quest lines for any game, base game or expansion. I would love to see a full playthrough, even if some preparation has to go into it :)
I knew I was gonna like this after you said “I can take one of them, I can’t take two.” Suddenly this game is now interesting! lol Good luck Mister Micky!
I accidentialy went to the shivering isles first instead of leveling up on the main land. So after I like got to level 14 I left the shivering isles for the first time to face the actual Main story line and world…
Nothing says Champion of Sheogorath quite like abandoning all of your material posessions and hurling yourself stark naked into a portal to Oblivion after skinny dipping and swimming like 2 miles into the middle of an island in the Niben Bay
I never understood max difficulty. I think realistically only enemies should get stat changes. It's pretty unfair how you get less defensive AND enemies deal more damage. I never play this game past half slider just because of how cruel it is
When the supreme beings of the entire universe and dimensions judge the human race , the butterfly animation of shivering isles will be our best defense in our case
I loved Oblivion, both modded and unmodded. Granted stacking mods was high and I ended up doing random whacky stuff instead of doing the quest mods missions.
back in the day when i ordered the dlc abroad together with my dad. fell in love with oblivion but this was just mind blowing as a kid the waiting for it to drop on the floormat. Goes together with the feeling of figuring out runescape membership as a kid
Sheogorath: I need a new champion. (sees feral naked man running and jumping around the Shivering Isles punching everything he sees) Sheogorath: PERFECT!!
This reminds me all the way back when I first played oblivion didn't know you had to sleep to level up more did I know you could level up so I ended up beating half the game and a lot of the sidequests before I wanted to get the dark brotherhood dagger slept then leveled up
Woah this video kinda blew up! When I first made this series it had like less then 20 views for months so I put aside the idea. I enjoyed doing this challenege and wouldn't mind returning to it in the future! 😁
Continue this series! I loved the video!
your channel is so funny, I hope to continue watching in the future
Glad to hear you would be up for making more vids 😁
Definite entertainment
nice i was kind of dissapointed seeing this whit no continuation
Why do I get the impression that a naked Florida Man who runs through the portal and starts fist fighting a gromite is the kind of champion Sheogorath would dream of?
@dormie basne Florida is the Patron Deity of Sheogorath.

Yea that’s a really beautiful memory for me as well hahah
Ikr its one of the coolest effects I've seen since and I loved how if you messed with Sheogorath he would put you in your place real quick as a Daedra would lol 😂
It really felt like someone cared in SI in contrast to vanilla oblivion, which felt like bland medieval fantasy.
IIRC, the difficulty scaling in Oblivion was *insane*. Just turned enemies into concrete sponges
Well yeah even on the normal difficulty if you don't do near perfect levelling you get fucked.

This is why I usually don't make things I use often as major skills so I level up when I want to after training skills that will give stat points
The difficulty scaling is appropriate when you consider the power of some of the builds. The Mage's Guild questline combined with max alchemy can make you nearly unstoppable.

tru but that would ruin the challenge!
It's more like 5 and they all have steel armour and a steel weapon each (and shield if applicable.)
I hope you come back to this and bloodmoon at some point, enjoyed both a lot
I really want to comeback to Bloodmoon soon
@@MickyD I've been very excited for bloodmoon
Blood moon!
I wish skyrim had awesome DLC like this, playing the shivering isles produced some of the fondest memories of my childhood.

„I‘m just a naked man in a chair. Here we go.“
This is exactly the kind of champion Sheogorath would have liked most
Shivering Isles is one of the best expansions in any RPG in my opinion. I remember when I first played it, I felt I was tripping on acid the whole time, it was great.
I love how this also makes sense from a lore perspective....sheogorath would 110% say a naked level 1 guy is worthy of becoming his champion...

Thanks for uploading all these videos! These are taking me down some nostalgia trips of my many hours playing Morrowind and Oblivion in high school.

please make more of this series, I really like it :)
Death music is playing twice because your soul as a player is dying too
This is where the 100% Resist Normal Weapons/100% Reflect Magic build comes in reaaal handy.
I would have loved to see your character build at the start! Birthsign too!
Everybody is wrong about horse armor being useless, it fixes Shadowmere's broken ai
Shivering isles is one of my favorite quest lines for any game, base game or expansion. I would love to see a full playthrough, even if some preparation has to go into it :)
Would definitely watch more of this, especially if you enjoy playing it!
Any chance for more videos of this challange? it is awesome :D
Please continue this, now im hooked and there is only one episode!
I knew I was gonna like this after you said “I can take one of them, I can’t take two.”
Suddenly this game is now interesting! lol
Good luck Mister Micky!
I just discovered this and definitley need more!
I would love to see more of this series, though i think after you get some better gear you will walk through this like nothing.
I accidentialy went to the shivering isles first instead of leveling up on the main land. So after I like got to level 14 I left the shivering isles for the first time to face the actual
Main story line and world…
Keep this series going

Just stumbled across this channel. Great stuff.
When the supreme beings of the entire universe and dimensions judge the human race , the butterfly animation of shivering isles will be our best defense in our case
Would absolutely love a series of this 👌
Going to the shivering Isles naked...sounds crazy?
You'll fit right in
I like this series! Keep it up, shit looks brutal!
Please make more of this. I'd be nice if you could finish the whole thing. That'd be something.
After watching many of your videos, famous last words "C'mere to me" 🤣
I've fought mudcrabs more fie-*OOF*
A proper challenge 🤟 working my way through your videos for the third time 🤪 hope you're good 👍 think that's enough emojis
Could have just used yer fireball when you were resting on that branch instead as a ranged attack.
Bringing the amulet to the shimmering isles forever is kinda funny tho
you need to learn the "spin around the enemy and punch until they run out of stamina and fall down" _move
Love ur channel 🙏🏻❤️
The breathing part with Haskal is hilarious
Best part of Oblivion
would definitely like to see more of this.
Keep them coming great work.
16:06 i actually never knew that this icon meant that, I always checked the menu page xD
Really enjoyed this video, CallMeKevin!
I would love to see more of these.
I played an Archer at Max Difficulty, but in later Levels Enemys scale up so much, you actually need hundreds of arrows for one bigger Enemy.
Gonna do another one of these?
I enjoyed recording it so I might do more! The Morrowind videos seem to garner more attention recently so maybe when I'm burnt out on Morrowind
I would also love to see him continue this series.
The adventurers that fight the gatekeeper drop armor, though you already probably know that.
you could have got some free armor by going to the gatekeeper where the mercs fight him
I loved Oblivion, both modded and unmodded. Granted stacking mods was high and I ended up doing random whacky stuff instead of doing the quest mods missions.
pls make this a series
"Why does the death music play twice every time?" The game felt you deserved it.

If you interrupt the death music it has a habit of constantly playing until you let it finish properly.
