Very true. I love Skyrim, but when I walk into a town, I know exactly what I’m going to see and hear. “I know you can afford a Septim or two.” “If you’re headed to the Blue Palace, you may want to rethink that outfit.” “What’s the matter? Can’t stand the sight of a strong Nord woman?” Braithe bothering Lars. Brynjolf trying to sell me falmerblood elixir. That altmer woman telling me how boring horses are. It gets old real quick. Whereas in Oblivion, sure they all have lines related to their character, but I felt like I never knew what they were going to do next. Mostly because they probably didn’t know what they were going to do next either. I guess that’s the benefit of only having like 6 voice actors.
Idk what’s more disturbing. The fact Gogron gro-Bolmog killed a 5 year old, or that someone put a contract out on a 5 year old. Now THAT’S something you won’t see in Skyrim
@@Esuerc Yes but there's ambiguity in Babette she may look like a child but she's clearly not. In Oblivion they straight up killed a child and laughed about it. I mean there is a difference with Babette. Sure the contact tried to lure her away thinking she was an ordinary child but it could be argued that's Karma, where as the 6 year old couldn't have done anything that warranted a brotherhood contract. There are assassins outside of the brotherhood and I imagine they're much cheaper than the "elite" brotherhood assassins, but still someone took the time to perform the sacrament and pay the fee to have a 6 year old killed... Surely whoever made the contract could've just done it themselves.
Two bits here: there is a reason someone might go to that kind of trouble: said target stood to gain an inheritance that another party would receive should she not reach a certain age. Or it's revenge, the daughter of an enemy and you want them to suffer.
Some of the beggars sort of make sense... They're putting on a facade and when you give them money they feel more open and drop the facade and give you their real voice.. The cases where it's more "important" (to the world) characters doing it doesn't make much sense.
My best out of context moment I've ever had in Oblivion was once when I had my speech and personality maxed out, a necromancer ran up to attack me but instead of attacking it just forced me into dialogue. When I exited the dialogue he walked away like nothing happened
It's a Morrowind callback- it was from a little personality test thing that you could use to determine your class. So there were 4 options about what you might do next. I vaguely recall that this line just stops in Oblivion, like in the video. Weirdly there weren't sweet rolls in Morrowind...
@@persephoneunderground845 goes back even farther - to Arena! You have three options for what you do after your sweet roll is stolen, your choice helps determine your class. a) Drop the sweetroll and step on it, then get ready for the fight? (Warrior) b) Give him the sweetroll now without argument, knowing that later this afternoon you will have all your friends with you and can come and take whatever he owes you? (Mage) c) Act like you're going to give him the sweetroll but at the last minute throw it in the air, hoping that they'll pay attention to it long enough for you to get a shot in on the leader? (Thief)
How about Morrowind? Once as noob in Vivec I was about to leave a room but accidentally grabbed a broom leaning at the corner instead of opening the door. An Indoril Guard zoomed in on the same second and killed me with one hit with his sword. When a newcomer outlander the Indoril Guards could kill just by looking angrily at You. ...and gladly would.
@@Ba_Yegu makes you wonder what they do to the guards to make them so murder happy. Or if they have: "willing to murder someone at a moments notice." As part of the job requirement.
It got me thinking what the boundaries for sithis is. The night mother killed her children for sithis, but from the way he spoke it doesmt sound like theres any taboo against killing children for sithis.

You need to talk to the other Dark Brotherhood members when you have missions in progress. They'll offer you their own advice/insights on the mission at hand.
@@Bauglir100 Yeah I know, but I must've forgot to as that specific one on that quest, thought I had gone through all of them, that's why I said ''Oml''
You lied to me! I was promised random and out of context fragments, but this is just regular gameplay! Though your version of Oblivion seems to have less glitches then mine.
the "sneaking" in the corner in the tutorial is an all time classic. also, the rats turning on each other after they've killed ulrich leland is hilarious.

I’ve probably put more hours into this game than any other in my life. Makes me nostalgic for when I first got my 360. Probably put in about 2000 hours
The way I would level up my sneak skill sometimes is just by sneaking and following Imperial Guards around, especially in the Imperial City. It worked a lot faster than sneaking around in Caves or something did
After 2:29 I was really hoping it would be a recurring thing in the video with groups of guards barging into random conversations, talking over each other and harassing people about the Gray Fox. The remainder of the video did not disappoint regardless.
They saved all the annoying and infuriating bugs for Skyrim, as jank as oblivion was it ironically had less annoying bugs than skyrim the more modern game. Try decorating your house in skyrim compared to oblivion.
“I’m not listening to you. It’s because…I don’t like you.” :) I forgot how passive aggressive the Oblivion npc’s were lmao.
They can get really mean...
The smile in end ! Legendary !!!
I don't know you and I don't care to know you
I was hiding under your porch because I love you
Get out of my face.
Despite their….eccentricities, Oblivion npc’s really gave a level of liveliness and memorability that Skyrim just didn’t have. I miss it.

True, but I think in Skyrim there was an implication of a pedophile (contract) trying to assault but she killed him first.

Ahh Oblivion, the game where an NPCs voice/accent can completely change mid sentence
Some people do it to look cool, Oblivion NPCs are cool without it...
If I remember correctly, it's because their voice lines were done in alphabetical order. So, you get this weird, stitled dialogue.
Some of the beggars sort of make sense... They're putting on a facade and when you give them money they feel more open and drop the facade and give you their real voice.. The cases where it's more "important" (to the world) characters doing it doesn't make much sense.
