- In today's video, we go through and discuss the quest revolving around the imperial, Hirrus Clutumnus in the shivering isles dlc of the elder scrolls 4 oblivion. We begin in the district of Crucible in the city of New Sheoth. Here, we may run past Hirrus, a stranger to us, who beckons us over to have a chat. We do so and he tells us to meet him later near a statue of Sheogorath. Upon doing so, he tells us that he wants us to assist him in dying, as he is no longer long for this world. After we pick a method of helping him die, we are rewarded with his house key that has access to his jewelry box.

Actually if you approach the Dark Seducer guard behind you after you push Hirrus off, she makes a remark how "it happends all the time and they should put a railing there"
Yes I saw that! I turned to her and saw that she was speaking but glitched out with no audio unfortunately!
The "Happiness Ring" is kind of a metaphor for anti-depressants.
Yeah that checks out! Good catch!
Me as a kid: laughing at the way he ragdolls off the ledge
Me now: realizing how relatable he is 😭
Whoever wrote this quest was definitely going through some stuff
😂😂😂 for real! Everyone else brought in these wacky and zany quests and the one person brought their emotional trauma in that day
This is the quest I swear if in Skyrim the poor man would be flung via shouting.
😂 it would be an awesome way to go!
I think something that sticks out with the shivering isles, and this quest in particular, is how good the voice acting is. The voice acting in the base game, while it has its charm, isn’t great. I love it but it’s sort of stilted and stodgy and unfocused, and the delivery tends to be fairly flat. You actually feel like this guy has emotions, and I think that’s why this quest stands out so much.
I really love the shivering isles they honestly took what made oblivion great and refined it so well. Especially the voice acting is such an improvement, stuff like how Sheogorath sounds very jolly at the beginning of the quest line and gets more and more erratic and logical toward the end. Honestly great stuff
That’s a really good point! I feel like the line delivery was spot on hear! And the shivering isles took all of the best parts of the game and put them into a dlc!
With the "I'm sorry you're having a bad day" option being the first one the writers actually broke their rule of putting the most offensive dialogue options at the bottom instead on the top.
I think in context it's even worse than the last one.
Also if you talk to the guard after shoving the guy from the ledge she will give a snarky comment on the situation and that they really should put a fence there.
That’s interesting I didn’t know about the dialogue options have an order to them! That’s really neat! I read that that’s what she would say too! Unfortunately her dialogue was either muted or glitched or something because unfortunately I didn’t get it out of her!
the voice acting here is fabulous
I think the ring of happiness is refrence to anti depressants and how it can make some people feel that way when on them and thats why they stop taking them
Ahhh yes that would make sense actually! Great catch!
Poor guy, he believed he'd never fit in anywhere, didn't want to end up on the hill. After the first time I did this quest , I never did again because I felt sorry for him.
Yeah I had always heard of this quest and how comical it is, but after doing it, I gotta say it’s a bit of a downer tbh 😂
I’m glad Bethesda portrayed his depression so well, without stigmatizing it. As a person who’s been diagnosed since he was 8, I know what it’s like. The tiredness, anger, and stress of it was written so well for such a short quest.
Yeah I think they did a great job of being tasteful with handling this quest!
I get the impression the quest was trying to say something substantial. Hirrus didn't like "not feeling like himself," something many neurodivergent people say while taking medication.
But the ring was actually multifunctional and had substantial value. He just couldn't see it.
The ring, like his life, had value.
Life is worth living kids :') keep 'em coming.
Very curious about the souls on the hill. Looking forward to it !
Me too! :) should be coming out soon!
He was too pure and beautiful for this world, he just didn't belong 😢
I really wanted to find this quest funny but tbh it just made me feel sad for the guy 😂
Yeah. He didn’t.
i wish you could have him as a follower cause either 1) he’ll be killed by some creature and get his wish or 2) if he’s not dying he’s having some sort of purpose.
even though he doesn’t i still love him dearly he’s one of my favorite npcs
Yeah I was thinking about that too actually! A follower option would’ve been really good for him!
It’s not Skyrim, unfortunately. That’s why he can’t be a follower, there dude: because this isn’t Skyrim. This is Oblivion, instead.
Glad you been working hard on this game
I appreciate the continued support my friend!
Man I always feel terrible after finish this quest, he deserves better😢
Yeah poor guy! I was wondering why he couldn’t just leave the isles but I’m sure there’s a valid reason why
@@ABardsBallad probably because there's monsters everywhere and he can't really fight, even if he gets out he will get killed by the guard outside the gate.
Btw you can help a NPC by freeing the spirits at the hill, but don't get a journal update
This quest was so sad. I remember the first time I did it. Took me ages to finally come around to unalive him. And I feel bad doing this quest on subsequent playthroughs just for his ring 😭
Yeah I fully expected it to be a comedic quest but it was more depressing and sad tbh
That was deep, bro. Just deep. I felt that like never before, thanks for your work.
Always looking forward to your videos each week. They’re so enjoyable to watch.
I really appreciate the continued support my friend! :)
Love your videos so much you hit a great tone of narration and cover everything in worthwhile detail! Thanks again for the good work
I appreciate the continued support and the kind words! :)
The narration, story telling is perfect, loving the shivering isles adventures. Have you ever considered eso ? Even just exploring the more fascinating lore books or Daedra
Cheers! I appreciate it! :) I’d like to cover all of the elder scrolls games one day that’s for sure!
@@ABardsBalladI’ll be here to see it, keep going your videos are top notch. You and Drewmora are my favorites.
People who are prescribed certain medications for depression will sometimes stop taking the medication. They commonly say, just like poor Hirrus with the ring, that they just don't feel like themselves. Of course, in reality it's a matter of dosage more often than not, and if you've been given medication for depression, it's better to talk to your doctor than it is to stop taking it altogether. Considerably easier to get a better mix than the chaos of the alternative... Not just for the people who inevitably actually _do_ care for you, but the means available to normal people for a game over could become your own personal hill you reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaalllllyyy don't want to be trapped on. Surviving the attempt can go there.
Yeah I think the writer for this quest actually had some really impressive undertones and an overall message to it!
no, the message is simply that the antidepressants are shit
Quality video, as always! Thank you so much for your hard work ❤
I really appreciate the kind words and the continued support! :)
Damn, I never really thought of how depressing this quest is. The ring of happiness, the note and implied self harm. Even the 'suicide hill' can be interpreted as how some religions view suicide an offense worthy of hell. Im going to be 31 this year, ive attempted twice and have multiple mental health disorders. Im doing much better now, but my twenties were a mess of depression and addiction. I wish we couldve befriended Hirrus, or maybe saved him.
Keep up the good work. I enjoy what you do.
I appreciate the support! :)
@@ABardsBallad Anytime!
I click so fast when you upload! Can't wait to see the hill of suicide quest and how you can free the souls! I feel so sorry for them, rewatching these quests as an adult now really changes how they make you feel, RIP Hirrus
I appreciate the support! :) yeah I was going into the quest thinking it was a funny one but turns out to be a bit of a bummer 😂
Time for a shindig he's a jolie good fellow..
😂 I think Hirrus would appreciate it!
Oh damn. I am so far behind on your videos!
