The fact that the devs didn't make the adoring fan essential, but still made him respawn every few (days?) speaks to how they understood what we as players want to do
Makes me believe that the adoring fan is supposed to be randomized by a different looking character every time the fan dies and Another takes his place. But I guess they either in a time constraint or were too lazy to implement that
WHAT!? i didnt know that he respawns if he dies! If i killed him i never bothered with it again, and if i wanted him alive i was cautious to not let him die. Now its another story then lol
@@ThatsCoolDude oblivion npcs have bipolar when you walk past them :By the Nine,it's the hero of kvatch when you ask them about rumours: i don't want to talk to you,it's because i dont like you :)

I always travelled with the Jemane twins. I loved how annoying they were, striking up conversations with everyone. And how much the drunk one absolutely hated me no matter what I did (I played on xbox).
I’ve tried this challenge before. I ended up cheesing it and just giving him a bunch of health. Then I tried to see if I could make him fight by setting his aggression higher, but that didn’t really seem to work.
@@ThatsCoolDude Oh no, I might have to try that. Its still odd that messing with his aggression didn't seem to do anything. I set Martin's aggression higher and he became a psychopath and I was in tears from it.
You are forgetting that it is his confidence stat is what makes him willing to fight or not . His by default is low so he will always run away. Use rally on him or use the console to set his confidence to 100 so he won't back down
Quick question, did the adoring fan drink the hist sap, too? If not he was just watching you and the fighter's guild kill a village of innocent people and smiling. Kinda sus
No, Megamind Dude just drank Skooma and still killed them all while the Adoring Fan watched and admired him. In his defense, we were infiltrating the Blackwood Company, so it was acceptable to let me kill unarmed civilians that he knew were unarmed civilians. :))
3:00 I completely lost it. XD Our guy looks very fetching in his new helmet! The character I'm playing as right now always wears it, and since she's a stick-thin dark elf chick it makes her look like her head is several times too big for her body. She's going to develop some pretty serious neck problems if she keeps this up.
By Azura, by Azura, by Azura! It's the Grand Champion! I can't believe it's you, standing here, next to... me. Can I, can I carry your things? Shine your boots? Backrub, perhaps?
@7:35 It's charming to headcanon that the Adoring Fan is one of the most straight-arrow, well-informed, and sane Wood Elves in all of Cyrodiil, when they aren't gushing over the Grand Champion. Everyone needs something to be a fan of.
“The Feral Squadron” I think would have suited you better 😂 Edit: 9:45 I literally stood and waited for 30 minutes when doing this quest because he wouldn’t move from that spot 😂
You are so underrated and these videos are edited so well. Every time you were in the middle of a quest, conversation or battle and panned over to the Adoring Fan, his thousand-yard stare killed me.
No idea which two words you're talking about or whatever, but Maglit is the second laziest Bosmer I've ever met, behind maybe that jeweler Bosmer is Valenwood who made the suicide necklace. Or ring.
omfg when you zoomed in on Oreyn's face when he said "the little fetcher!" I spit my drink out. My dog was looking at me like wtf is going on are you dying?
Those pressure plate traps in the Ayleid ruins are awful when you have followers with you. They’re just guaranteed to die. Like the one guy from the mage’s guild.
i started a new oblivion playthrough inspired by this video. the adoring fan follows me everywhere. it has enhanced gameplay about 8000x, i think in part because i equipped him with the amulet of kings and i’ve made it my sworn duty to protect the TRUE septim heir. thank you for changing oblivion and also the fate of cyrodiil. forever.
To be fair, the little blond elf asked for it. He greets with: "Wow! You're the Grand Champion! I saw your fight against the Gray Prince! You're the best! Can I... Can I follow you around? I won't get in the way!" And if you agree, he replies: "Golly, you're the best! I'm going to follow you and watch you and worship the ground you walk on! Let's go!" He's a bit weak on the worshipping part, but otherwise, he gets exactly what he wanted.
The torch is pretty much the only good thing about him if your playstyle matches. Also when he starts running when you don't see why, but that's rather highly debatable.
5:44 Stuff of nightmares I remember the one time I was like "ok follow me dude I can use a meat shield" he died I went about my business...and out of nowhere he came back and started following me. I dunno if I reloaded an old save or if he really is just that creepy.
I'm curious. I've never personally played oblivion but watched it played. Do you get the oppurtunity for followers like in Skyrim? And if so can you give them armor and equipment? Essentially what I am asking is if the adoring fan is a follower and if you can give him armor and weapons?
So, this isn't exactly 100% confirmed, but it's highly speculated/believed that "The Adoring Fan" is actually Cicero in disguise. He says something like "I plated the roll of an obsessed fan to gain the trust of the champion of the arena in Cerodil." So that might also imply that Cicero killed The Hero of Kavach.
When you use up all of your fatigue by jumping or fighting and then the Skooma effect disappears, you lose the fatigue effect from Skooma (fortify strength) , thus resulting in negative fatigue!
The fact that the devs didn't make the adoring fan essential, but still made him respawn every few (days?) speaks to how they understood what we as players want to do
True, it's fun to mess around with esential NPCs in this game too tho, would be fun with him!

Now its another story then lol
Now that explains why Wilburger has two of them.
I kept forgetting that the adoring fan was following you, so it was even funnier when he was peering over the shoulders of folks you’re talking to
He's always somewhere... Watching.
Hes just chillin
Him: Great, fetch quest, fuck you.
Radiant AI: You too.
Him: NANI ?!
*omae wa mou shindeiru*
I know, right?
He is the only character in Oblivion who actually adores me, which is quite sweet of him!
I feel like Oblivion NPCs can really respect the player in general, Skyrim did this dirty tho

He's the moral support everyone needs...
@@ThatsCoolDude The world could use a man like him :)
Oreyn: "It was the hist sap, not you."
Skooma guy downing his 85th bottle of skooma: "What hist sap?"
This video changed my mind about the adoring fan. He's... Kind of adorable lol
Yeah, I was a little annoyed at first but he's not as bad as I thought he would be...
He is just there, (usually) doesn't get in the way, smiles in the background in conversations, and pulls aggro in dungeons. What is there not to like.
He can be even better, though there's a mod that makes him essential (boo) but actually able to help in combat (I use the combat suited file which outfits him in ebony)
6:00 an accurate representation of that happens when you run headfirst into a stone fireplace.
A classic real life situation
The tones randomly changing from hostile to friendly and concerned purely by clicking rumors will never get old
NPCs are moody...
My favorites have always been the bandits for that
When you talk to the beggars and they go from drunk to cockney to Wes Johnson's booming voice within seconds.
I always travelled with the Jemane twins. I loved how annoying they were, striking up conversations with everyone. And how much the drunk one absolutely hated me no matter what I did (I played on xbox).
There's no other more iconic duo than the Jemane twins.
Yet again an amazing vid to train the laughing muscles. The editing, tone and generally the whole vibe is so freaking funny. Great job :D
Happy you like it! Thank you!
@@ThatsCoolDude It was clear from your first videos you are meant to be the main character. Keep it up 🕶🥰

I haven't played oblivion long enough to meet him yet but he seems like a cute little yellow ice cream cone.

I turned on God Mode and made him follow me into Oblivion gates then lead him right into the "waters of Oblivion".
Why?
Because it amused me.
omfg when you zoomed in on Oreyn's face when he said "the little fetcher!" I spit my drink out. My dog was looking at me like wtf is going on are you dying?
He's indeed is a little fetcher.
He's cute, until you find out he wants to kill you. Just like real life psycho fans.
"Helm of Oreyn Bearclaw" but Oreyn never wears it lol i love Oblivion
Never thought about that, it is kinda weird!
Oreyn not thinking to move off the trap, and *you're* the skooma addled one? Ha.
(also, it's IC to have swapped those words, s'all good~)

This isn't a challenge if you actually like having him with you (the torch is useful)
It was at first but then he grew on me.
The torch is pretty much the only good thing about him if your playstyle matches. Also when he starts running when you don't see why, but that's rather highly debatable.
I guess it's true. You should never meet your heroes.

4:40 usually making me laugh is..well..kinda hard.
BUT THIS
I ALMOST DIED OF LAUGHTER AND I DUNNO WHY
WHY???
IT'S SO SILLY OMG
The Raid Crew has powers beyond our understanding.
Should have called the crew "The Morning Woods"
Lol this is what I was gonna do once I beat the arena. Was gonna make a really good buff spell for him so he wouldn't die
Make his follow you into Skyrim (time travel)
The adoring fan is such a useless little creep. Good job keeping him alive as much as you did! XD
He makes light tho

You can have followers, but there's no interaction other than "Follow me" and "Wait here", no equipment exchanges etc.
Why do the ogres in Oblivion sound like the bears in Skyrim? I just noticed that and now it's bothering me
huh, it would be classic Bethesda to re-use audio recordings for another game tho...
Ogres have the same sounds as imps from Doom
@@RedemptionDenied666 according to Decino it's a modified camel noise.

He says something like "I plated the roll of an obsessed fan to gain the trust of the champion of the arena in Cerodil." So that might also imply that Cicero killed The Hero of Kavach.
It was speculated, but they're both a completely different race tho
Also imperials generally don't live for three hundred years.
