What people don’t get, is that angels actually need to use the Oblivion character creator when they take physical form. That’s why they’re described as being so vividly inhuman in the Bible.
This just makes me wish there was more strange Christian mods that delved into Church history. I want a Christmas mod where you get transported to the Council of Nicaea and become Santa Claus by beating the ever living tar out of heretics.
John Bunyan apparently wrote Pilgrim’s Progress while in prison or after serving in prison, so the opening scene is a giant Pilgrim’s Progress reference. You lost the NPC because Pliant gave up at the first difficulty in the book. The caged man represents a reprobate, someone who has hardened his heart so that he cannot repent of sin, yet he feels despair and loss as a former professor of Christ. Bunyan was a Calvinist and his theology reflects in that character. Apollyon is the Son of the Devil. That part didn’t make sense because I thought Christian had lost his burden of sin by that point of the book and it looked like you still had yours. Maybe you missed a section where you actually get saved when you skipped that intended path? In the book the sin burden is a great heavy sack permanently attached to Christian’s back, so the game is symbolically representing it as the curse your character has. Ironic that you skipped since there’s a chapter of the book where two idiots tried to climb the wall and skip the journey, only to be rejected at the gates of heaven.
To be fair, out of bounds fixes are hard to code. But still it'll be fun to have it depicted where you can attempt before, after or after and suffer the fate with them.
@@adrianaslund8605 It absolutely is, it is by far my least favored Christian faith. The tenets of Calvinism oppose many religious teachings, present in all three of the main branch Abrahamic religions.
The fact that you've identified the "wise man" as Jordam peterson just goes out to show the literary genius of John Bunyan, becasue he was criticizing the archetype of the Peterson types (they sell wisdom but not salvation, wisdom without grace is null, etc.)
You’ve just summed up the entire argument against Jordan Peterson from the religious right. I watch a lot of Catholic theologians and apologists on UA-cam, and that is pretty much their problem with him. It’s pretty apt.

I haven't played through this mod, but in the book "The Pilgrim's Progress", the titular character's burden of sin falls off of him after he looks at the cross. I'm guessing if you had clicked on the cross with all the angels around it, then the game would have kept progressing. Now you have to make a part 2!

By some supremely strange coincidence, I chose today to research a bunch of religious names I’d heard in various media but didn’t know the origin for, and in that research I came across multiple references to Pilgrim’s Promise. Then I log into UA-cam and find this in my subscriptions. Weird. For the record, Appolyon is the name of a figure in Judeo-Christian lore that is sometimes an angel, sometimes a demon, sometimes a place. It’s confusing. More commonly known as Abaddon.
Thanks for the brief lesson, it was very interesting. I just looked up Abaddon (on Wikipedia) & it appears to mean 'destruction' or 'doom' in Hebrew & the Greek equivalent is Apollyon which means 'destroyer'. There's also mention of a place called Sheol which appears to be an early interpretation of Hell based on the Greek version of the underworld, Hades. At first it seemed that Sheol was a place for all dead but later it was referred to as a place specifically for the "wicked" & thought of as a place of punishement. I also find it interesting that there is mention of people being summoned from Sheol, much like Daedra can be summoned from Oblivion, although this was considered a forbidden ritual. An example of this ritual was performed by a woman known as the Witch of Endor in the First Book of Samuel. Saul the King of Israel had attempted to commune with God on a number of occassions to find out how he should deal with the Philistine army which his own army was due to battle in the coming days. He had previously banned the use of sorcery & necromancy but decided to seek out a Witch to commune with a dead Prophet name Samuel. He eventually came across a Witch in the village of Endor & asked her to summon the soul in question, which she initially refused as she was afraid of being punished by the King however she later agreed after Saul gave her his word that she would not be punished. The Witch then summons Samuel who is not too happy to have his eternal slumber disturbed. He then tells the Witch that Saul should've trusted in God & now his army will be defeated as well as Saul & his sons will be "With me" tomorrow. Saul then collapses in terror & the Witch makes him a nice meal to make him feel better, ah how nice. Then everyone dies, the end. Just kidding. The following day the Israelite army is defeated by the Philistines & Saul commits suicide by falling on his Sword. Not really a happy ending by an ending indeed. I do find much of the Bible's stories & parables to be fascinating, despite not being religious myself. Most of them are really dark too, like believe & trust in God or die! Stuff like that. Pretty metal if you ask me.
The fact that Jesus died for the collective sins of mankind, which includes letting Todd Howard run Bethesda, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that God's forgiveness is infinite.
That's the mystery of the trinity.... Jesus, God Howard, and Bethesda are actually one and the same. God, the son, and the holy ghost of a software company.
What I loved about hand to hand in Oblivion is the ability to eventually punch ghosts. It's not as much damage as weapons, but the speed + a focus on str and fatigue makes it really viable

I'm not religious either but I do like some religious parables & stories. I especially like some of the Buddhist stories, the ones with the Monkey King. You don't have to be of a particular faith to appreciate good writing & storytelling. Also off topic but Monkey was a great show, I'd genuinely recommend anyone to give a watch. The show from the 70s & 80s not the Netflix remake.
It is pretty incredible, I guess there's a good reason it's one of the most popular English books of all time. I think it's also possibly the first novel written in English
Pilgrim's Progress was strangely one of the first adult books I read when I was a kid. My parents tried to warn me that it was too advanced, but I determined having already devoured the Narnia series. I actually DID read and finish it somehow. It helps that I had read the King James Bible for church, so you really kind of have to put your brain in that frame of mind (sort of like how you read Shakespeare). I liked the book a lot, though I can't say I got all the allegory until I was older. I was just into the adventure. ... AND yes, I have that Marvel Comic adaptation... still. I read that over and over to the point that it's sort of falling apart. BUT yeah, it was one of my favorite early book reads.
The part where you proselytize early on and go through the same script twice sounded so cultish it was weird. Goodwill was really chill though. What a guy.
As a fairly devout Catholic I have to say this sort of mod doesn't really work well glued into a world like Tamriel. It could work if it was approached another way. 'The Pilgrim's Progress' is a fabulous book although fellow Catholics may find some bits...problematic as it reflects the arguments between Catholics and Protestants which were current to the era it was written. But this is so earnest it is painful if funny. A much better use of religion in a game is Joshua Graham in Fallout: New Vegas.
I love that they arrested the author of the book, but let him keep copies of it just in case anyone wants one signed from the man himself on the inside.
Iirc, the phrase had a different meaning either at the time the film is set, or when the film was made. "Put up a fight" was a different way to say "played hard to get" - Kinickey was just asking if Sandy was being coy or not when they were together
4:58 I don't know if you realise it (it sounds like you're referencing the rap lyrics though I could be missing the joke entirely) but that phrase literally _does_ come from "Pilgrim's Progress" - just much further into the book. The story including the names and places are entirely allegorical and it is a moral book rather than a proselytizing one - it's honestly one of the most important and character-forming stories for young children along with Aesop's fables and Grimm's fairy tales, and is far more nuanced than actual Bible stories. Whether you are remotely religious, regardless of creed, you should really give the book a read, it's not very long. Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.
Also, Micky, the dark elf guy at the start says to female dark elves that he's gonna go for a cell transfer to end up in your cell to get the female dark elf pc's cheeks
OMG (no pun intended) but this was a blast from the past. I read Pilgrim's Progress as a child as part of my homeschooling literature credit. I never thought I'd be taken back there again... (shivers)
I find this very interesting. I'm a Christian myself, though not a very traditional one. Oblivion is also my favorite of the Elder Scrolls games. As far as faith in storytelling goes, I think I prefer the allegory/metaphor approach rather than a straight adaptation of one of the texts or theories. Still a cool idea though. I'm sure several people got a lot out of it.

@@RuSosan We live in a fallen, sinful world full of suffering and death - the Bible is very clear on that. God doesn't promise that nothing bad will ever happen to us, but that we might gain the eternal salvation of our souls by believing in the sacrifice of Jesus.
I am a bit of holy roller myself, and I do alway's find these sorts of mods a bit wierd. There is already a very strong Christian presence within fantasy media, yet we don't really see as many LOTR's or Narnia's anymore... With the theological elements being couched either subtly (LOTR) or more overtly (Narnia) within the fantasy and narrative of the secondary world.
14:22 It's no less jarring than the beggars' dialogue in vanilla Oblivion. The way they switch voices has always thrown me off, and I've never been comfortable with it.
Apparently it was sexual selection that put evolutionary pressure on early man, incentivising the development of witty humor over 100's of thousands of years. If thats true, than this man has clearly inherited the full benefit of those genes.

Of course it would be the Thalmor that crucified him, and then spread lies about him not being resurrected. I'm not implying anything with this parallel.

Whether you are remotely religious, regardless of creed, you should really give the book a read, it's not very long.
Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.
This has probably been mentioned but the actual lyric is "did she put up a fight?" Which certainly has not aged well
Pilgrim's Progress is a very good story by itself tbh. Especially for how old it is.
Thanks for the early Christmas present, Micky.
Buck Bumble theme! I already feel like iam in heaven and the mod hasnt even started yet. Thanks you MickyD, very cool.
I love the duality of Micky D looking at Christianity mods and then looking at adult mods
This makes me curious if there are "adult Christian mods", & then simultaneously makes me scared for even pondering the idea...
@@DBswag_ I mean there was the NFSW part of the skyrim one so I’m sure there has to be a full crossover somewhere right?
Also, Micky, the dark elf guy at the start says to female dark elves that he's gonna go for a cell transfer to end up in your cell to get the female dark elf pc's cheeks
Yeah, he deserved to die.
The base character looks like that tool that held the donkey Kong world record high score. Forgot his name Billy something.
"Boo hoo, I don't care star wars man."
Caught me off guard, sent me into a laughing fit.
love the subtle use of the buck bumble theme
Micky just keeps getting funnier, who can stop this man???
OMG (no pun intended) but this was a blast from the past. I read Pilgrim's Progress as a child as part of my homeschooling literature credit. I never thought I'd be taken back there again... (shivers)
hahaha that doesn’t sound toooo bad
I find this very interesting. I'm a Christian myself, though not a very traditional one. Oblivion is also my favorite of the Elder Scrolls games. As far as faith in storytelling goes, I think I prefer the allegory/metaphor approach rather than a straight adaptation of one of the texts or theories. Still a cool idea though. I'm sure several people got a lot out of it.
I do too. The stories Christ told all worked that way, anyways. I think it makes for better stories.
LMAO I was looking at my cat as you said "That Star Wars Guy" to Patrick Stewart (Jean Luc Picarde from Star Trek), and my head legit twitched back and my eyes went like O_O before I could react to my own movements :D I got legit triggered.
Now this is the content we deserve 🙏
Youre spreading the word of the Lord thru vidya, what beautiful times we live in
Aw man that 'Time Stands Still' Rush reference was fantastic
Hold Your Fire, buddy, playing this mod is my Mission and I hope to meet the Prime Mover. Don't keep it under Lock and Key. (Please imagine your favorite "I Hate Tai Shan" joke here)
I guess the High Elves are not allowed to participate? Something for Glarthir to be paranoid about.
**buys a game, spends time learning too mod it,** and I like too thank Jesus for making this all free
Wait a second
**A train crash kills 100+ people, one baby is saved from the burning wreckage by a firefighter who suffered a permanent injury in the attempt**
"Oh thank god for saving that baby! Praise Jesus! The lord is great and merciful, his love endless!"
@@RuSosan yah thats about right
@@RuSosan go back to reddit
@@RuSosan We live in a fallen, sinful world full of suffering and death - the Bible is very clear on that. God doesn't promise that nothing bad will ever happen to us, but that we might gain the eternal salvation of our souls by believing in the sacrifice of Jesus.

Answer me this:
Is your _god_ omnipotent and omniscient or not?
I am a bit of holy roller myself, and I do alway's find these sorts of mods a bit wierd. There is already a very strong Christian presence within fantasy media, yet we don't really see as many LOTR's or Narnia's anymore... With the theological elements being couched either subtly (LOTR) or more overtly (Narnia) within the fantasy and narrative of the secondary world.
as a catholic I totally agree that things like this should be ridiculed as the cringe that it is.
14:22 It's no less jarring than the beggars' dialogue in vanilla Oblivion. The way they switch voices has always thrown me off, and I've never been comfortable with it.
This was amazing, I was laughing crying thru the whole video. Jeebus Christmas.🤣
Have an amazing holiday season, peace ✌️ and goodwill 🙏 to all! 🎅🎄🎁
I literally spit my drink when i heard there's a Marvel comic version of The Pilgrim's Progress.
"We only have dailymotion in the elder scrolls universe"
Well that made laugh a lot more than it should have
Micky posting this on a Sunday and that is funny
Apparently it was sexual selection that put evolutionary pressure on early man, incentivising the development of witty humor over 100's of thousands of years. If thats true, than this man has clearly inherited the full benefit of those genes.
Some populations developed good looks, strength, willpower and agility through natural selection. Us Irish people just ended up with all skillpoints on humor.
Been waiting for this, since I saw the Skyrim one. Edit: Guess I'm a Mickhead
Crazy idea. Talk to the cross over by the angels?
say that to me again
Based on the trailer for this mod, I think that's what you're supposed to do.
@@MickyD at 27:57 you come across the 4 angels, there is a wooden cross between them. It may be just a set piece, however you might be able to interact with it. That's just my gamer instinct.
the voice acting in this LMAO!
33:23 is what I'm gonna do from now on any time someone I don't want interaction with tries to speak to me
Stare, smiling into their soul and telepathically transmit a verbal putdown?
Based.
This Christian mod was super realistic! I fell asleep listening to it just like I did in real life!
"I found a Christian oblivion mod"
Say no more
The way you pronounced The Way of the Light made me think it was The Way of Delight, which I was kind of surprised, bc it is a xtian game after all lol
I heard there is a 28 days later mod for oblivion. Wonder if it's worth reviewing
Every time my brain goes "It's been a while since micky d uploaded hasn't it?" He uploads
Next Mickey is going to find a Christian mod of morrowind lmaoo
"Sadly the mod worked fine, so we're gonna have to play it". That, my Corkonian friend, just earned you a subscriber in Wescht Clare. 🤣
Nice to stumble across a fellow Paddy who likes Bethesda games.
Fun fact: a game and animated movie based on The Pilgrim's Progress was made by the creator of Five Nights at Freddy's
He did that?!
@@MickyD Yeah, the guy did a lot of christian stuff and, legend has it, he decided to dabble in horror after getting comments that people found his CGI animations unintentionally creepy
Random click on a video and now i discovered this goldmine of a channel
Patience: (angrily) "anytime now". Oh the irony.
Never expected a Rush reference in an oblivion video, but I rush I could like this video even more because of that!
Hey! You should play Ominous Horizons. It's a Christian developed medieval FPS and it's actually not the worst lol I grew up with it being the only game I was allowed to play lmao... But it's actually pretty good and more historical and not nearly as religious as this.
I just got caught up on some micky d and was like "I wonder when he'll upload something" and sure enough he we are on that same day
Have you seen the TRAILER for the Pilgrim's Progress mod?
ua-cam.com/video/jby1W4vEF4w/v-deo.html
Thank you for bringing this art to my attention
If you’re feeling frisky, there is an old Pilgrim’s Progress video game floating around out there. 👀
i want a skyrim mod where at the beginning you dont go to the chopping block, but instead you are crucified right next to Ulfric Stormcloak and the other blond dude
the end
Then Ulfric resurrects after 3 days, takes you dont the cross and says:
Wake up Prisoner, we've got a Province to Burn
And then Stormcloaks all around Skyrim
Im not implying anything with this paralel....
Of course it would be the Thalmor that crucified him, and then spread lies about him not being resurrected.
I'm not implying anything with this parallel.
