@@joelhodoborgasso then why do them? Ive never once had an issue with the level system lmfao, people seriously need to quit playing on ultra mega hard super awesome one shot kill difficulty lmfao
@@PointsofData that's not what he's saying... You can just play the game normally and have no issues as long as you put a little thought into your build.
@@themanwithnoname1839 Yeah, I only had an issue on my very first character where I made speechcraft a major skill and sat in cities leveling up without realizing that everything else had gotten stronger while I hadn't, lol. The game isn't really a skill check, just a knowledge check.
Funny how it is. All other NPCs look vastly better with OCO, but these two, Martin and Armand really step into uncanny valley for me. And it's more weird, because of the fact that I didn't engage with Jauffre and Martin a lot, I think I even went to Kvatch only one or twice in my life😅
Man, to this day, the track you used for the transitions gives me chills down my spine. Such a creepy theme. I remember how much I suffered in every dungeon this was in, back when I was a lot younger and was first playing the game.
1:39 "I would need more poisons and potions to achieve the same result on higher difficulty" You actually wouldn't! The way difficulty works in Oblivion is to apply a percentage modifier to the amount of damage you deal to enemies and enemies deal to you, and because of the way poisons are coded to apply their effects, the difficulty modifier isn't applied to them. This makes poisons one of the VERY few options to deal decent amounts of damage on max difficulty settings.
@@TanisAnnicchiarico Not only that, but they scale amazingly well as you level. Weakness to Poison multiplies the effects of any subsequent poison used, and is a poison effect. Allowing you to kill even level 40+ Minotaur Lords with just two or three poisons in sequence. You are still better off just not leveling though.
Technically by using yourself as a lure to lead the bandits to an ambush by the guards, you are risking your own life to help them get rid of bandits that would normally be a relatively dangerous force.
Poison only in Morrowind would effectively be magic only since I don't think there is zero physical damage melee or ranged ammo. Also, both Daedra and Sixth House member can sport some reflect magic innately even if you weaken their resistance to poison damage. You'll probably want to take a character with poison resistance (Argonian or Redguard iirc) along with Alchemy as a major skill to make restore magicka potions.
well what do you know there's a channel called "Just Background Noise" did exactly just that, sort of, he didn't set Alchemy to major skill just so he could get max Intelligence gain without being forced to level up early
*I CAN ASK LOUDER IF YOU WANT! I NEED POISON, SPECIFICALLY A POISON STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL A MAMMAL ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF A HUMAN... WHY IS EVERYONE STARING AT ME?*
I always love the music you do for the parts, it was fantastic in the skyrim poison one and again is wonderful here! never stop doing that, it's such a unique charm
The paradise song. I had time to hear para a few times. Had time to realize it was labeled paradise. Heard para long enough to wonder when you were gonna say dice. There was 3 more.... then one more. Then it was over. That was such a Rollercoaster of emotion for me lol
This game was how I first got into ES, however while I’ve not played in years, it’s a Baron video so watching and liking is a must. Apart from that, I hope you’re doing well mate and yes I will always make time for the “British music meme man” apart from doing a marathon of your vids.
"Good ol' invisibility, nothing beats that" Well, except 100% chameleon which is objectively just an upgrade (the effect is the same as 100% invisibility but doesn't wear off from doing things)
i love that restore fatigue potions are literally just the elder scrolls version of a bottle of V8, like tomatos and grapes? My grandpa drinks that shit with breakfast.
Why is everybody calling the Morrowind and Oblivion leveling system wacky (or worse)? I think, it's one of the greatest leveling systems for these kinds of RPGs. You get better by doing things, not only regarding skills but also regarding attributes. It's great, once you get behind it. I'd love more games to use this system. Oblivions main issue with leveling lies in the scaling of enemies not in the character leveling itself.
Understood like 0% of the words said in this video as I have never touched any oblivion content, still loved the video and it made me think about buying the game. Great content as always man!
"Why do I come to the Arena? Honestly? I love the way the combatants move. It's like an... an erotic dance. The bodies, the sweat, the... oh. I, um..."
How you play Oblivion is none of my business but, I really cant get over the modded npc faces. They’re absolutely terrifying Jesus Christ how the hell are you okay with it 😨
Loved the video so much lol! I didn't played oblivion! Gotta try it ASAP! 🎉 Also it is refreshing to not actually see yet another AC6 video (nothing wrong but everyone is making em!)
Lmao, been loving this channel ever since I was taking a test, and listening to.. one of your dark souls 2 videos I believe.. in a TOTALLY NORMAL way, no glitches, or exploits whatsoever.
What a nice coincidence. I just finished Elden Ring yesterday and I was looking forward to finally watching your challenges for that game and you even upload a new video aswell. What a treat, lucky me
It is absolutely hysterical that Oblivion thinks you didn't kill a single thing throughout an entire playthrough of the main quest. You really are NotAPoisoner. And here I thought that name was a play on the fact you were a Prisoner.
"Well that doesn't bother me, because I'm not right anyway." But if I'm not right in the head and you're not right in the head and 9 out of 10 people are always saying they're not right in the head, doesn't that make us right in the head? That's the line the Normals always use, right? "There's more of us." Well... Are there? 🤔
Jfc, mate, I was not ready for that "sweet roll" bass drop. I'm dying over here. I'm too high for this shit - you need to put in a warning or something. 😂
Bit of false information: you claimed alchemy skill to unlock effects as if the only means... Can unlock the effects by crafting potions/poisons with ingredients that share effects(learned by use) morrowind-Skyrim vanilla alchemy system
Next Oblivion challenge: figuring out how to level properly. Seriously, the leveling in this game was so jank. The opposite of that would be a Baron's video drop - jank not detected. Everything is perfectly normal. PS - Just needed to say that your Puddle of Mudd/Orphan of Kos video is literally one of the best things on the internet. Bravo. Edit: Dang, didn't even take you five minutes to get to the leveling. I should've trusted you. 😅
It's confusing because the same skills you want to level to be stronger make you weaker as your enemies grow stronger then you. An easy way to keeping your level low in Oblivion is to pick major skills that you can control easily while leaving minor skills with things you'll use often. A weapon+armor skill often is what overlevels people when you combine it with Acrobatics, Restoration, Athletics, Destruction, Stealth, or Illusion. You'll use it often and level up often with incomplete stacks of +5 stats which leads to issues. It's not balanced. That's just how Oblivion is. Once you know how to stack it in your favour it becomes easier.
Dude your music is great! I can already tell this channels going to boom in the next year, but you should still reach out to indie studios and do soundtracks to games. Good Show dude
