I refuse to believe anyone was blown away by oblivion
I was blown away when I could freely manipulate environmental pieces. Just being able to grab and move one of the chains in the prison cell blew my mind.
babbys first rpg
Uninstall because this was the downfall of TES as an rpg first and foremost. You can prefer Oblivion to other WRPGs but really you're enjoying an openworld action game with light rpg elements.
why does oblivion look so comfy?
>waaah why can't I have right and left pauldron slots and my spear!
enable cheats
Exit game, install rape mods.
because it is comfy. If you've never played it before I fucking envy you. Just get galerion levelling mod and unofficial patch and you're good to go.
iirc, somehow end up in the waterfront district
go to the city and start stealing things from all the empty homes during the day.
Recreate Orc-blivion step by step

Run off the end of the dock and go read the skill book at the camp.

Oblivion was unironically my first real RPG. I was a consolefag, and at the time the only exposure to RPGs I had was of the Japanese kind which I hated. Played Oblivion at a friend's house on the 360 and I was blown the fuck away. It was also was lead me into playing the Fable games which I had no idea about.
Head to into the capital, steal some good items, head to Kvatch to do the duplication glitch.
Jump 50 times while I reply to a text and then kill the 2 bandits directly ahead of me.
i remember going to the invincible monks while jumping and using spells, when i arrived i hit them for a long time
That's not how Vilverin is pronounced, idiot. It's Vil-verin not Vilver-in
I was blown away by fallout 3
Uninstall
Mod in a concentration camp and rule as a ruthless commandant.
I am suicidal, so I would go to the Oblivion Gate north of that location.
as a console baby, when I got it for my PC I WAS blown away. Sorry to disappoint you.
To this day, it´s one of the most memorable sights I remember while playing a videogame.
The mind adapts like a muscle and something familiar no longer presents that same stimulation it got the first time you discovered the game.
I think you're missing the point
Not everyone here is 39.
I think I'm just shitposting
Straight ahead to loot and dupe the varla stone.
I'm holding out for a new ES in a few years and I'm hoping the rebuild the magic system and everything is awesome
I'm brother Jauffre, what do you want?
why do people even care about gold in this game? What are you going to do buy worthless overpriced shit from the merchants? Your only focus early on should be to level up as quickly as possible to ~15 so you can start getting decent loot
>Leveling up
>In a game that scales every enemy to you
Yeah nah.
For me it was the graphics and music. I couldn't max out the game at 60 fps but damn it was gorgeous.
youtube.com
Isnt that morrowind?
>not installing galerion's leveling
literally fixes the game.
The level scaling is atrocious but atleast you start to get items with cool magical effects when you are a higher level. If i was ganna replay skyrim again for some reason i wouldn't even loot really.
>being blown away by shit

I remember all to well, but why is he so memorable? He's just a shirtless chad that summons a skeleton.
harvest nirnroots :3
I don't know about anyone else but he was pretty tough if you wandered here without leveling or without any good weapon skills
same here
Play up to the first Oblivion gate, realize I hate the character I made, then start over
i was blown away by morrowind
>it's another vampire ruin
>go to sleep
>another note with a handprint on it
Fuck you spears are the best weapon
Go for it. It's the best quest line in the game.
Never cleanse the sanctuary
Play for like 10 hours then realize how busted the level scaling is and how spongy enemies get and lose all desire to continue.
>falling asleep in that one haunted house
never again
Why the fug did every rat have a new disease in oblivion?
stealth with bow and arrow was mine. unironically very fun
Don't you have to cleanse the sanctuary to continue story?
Because rats are filthy
>Enter random cave in northern Cyrodiil (where all the trees are orange)

>It works, i escape and kill the crab, but somehow I still have a debuff on me that lowers my carry weight
>Have to drop the heaviest items and carry them south to the imperial city by hand with the Grab button
True adventurekino, you will never get shit like this happening in Skyrim
I got diseases all the time in Morrowind but i havn't gotten a single disease (except for becoming a shitty vampire) in the last 75 hours on my Oblivion replay. Maybe i accidentally got a modded version with no disease?
>he didn't pack the crabs corpse full of loot then drag the corpse along with him
like my purse? it's crabskin
Too hard for casual plebs, too easy for the hardcore crowd. Attracted filthy console scum, was too hardware demanding for PC poorfags.
Oblivion is forever in between, getting no love from most groups, which clearly shows how biased most people are in this industry.
This has to be the only use of the body dragging device. Have you ever avoided trouble because of the body of your murder victim? In my experience npcs just walk over people you kill.
Dont they usually stop and call for guards or shout?
pretty sure people have to see you kill someone to register it as a crime, unless it is a guard.
its only good if you patch it.
plus combat was ass.
They do but i either get caught in the act or not at all.
I killed my victim and a guard the other day in a secluded inn and i still have a bounty for murder. No witnesses. it makes no sense.
Also, i forget whether or not the silence spell stops people reporting a crime or is it only to stop people from casting spells?
that quest scared the shit out of me. same with the zombies, fuck me they were awful
why was oblivion so much spookier than skyrim? i doubt it's an age thing, the wraiths and zombies in oblivion still unnerve me. skyrim is fucking weak in comparison. even the music was spookier
did the guard/victim witness the crime of killing each other? I think that counts as bounty
Yes but i killed the guard. I could swear that killing the guard works but not in this case. I know it counts in morrowind.
Unistall the game and go back playing Morrowind
Killing the guard works in morrowind and skyrim, not Oblivion.
I was so blown away by Oblivion when I first played it. It was my first game on the PS3 and I had never really played on PC yet so the freedom I had was shocking. When I played with my siblings we just hours just stealing shit. Good times. Man I miss the days were a fuckin console game could impress me.
I remember Skyrim not allowing me to kill half the NPCs i wanted to kill. Oblivion wasn't great about this. I like how they allow it in morrowind but just say you unraveled fate or some shit so you can load the game incase it was an accident.
after morrowind oblivion blew my socks off user
Kill those two fuckers next to vilverin and take their apple.
most children were protected, super important npcs that had quests tied to achievements tended to be protected but if u finished the quest they lost their immortality I thought. Also main plot quest was too protected I think
The game difficulty is fine. Problem is retards suck at the game so they rely on exploits (which is the game's fault, obviously) and then claim the thing is too easy. The game feels good when you learn how to make a good character and don't use any exploits and don't abuse glitches.
If only cryfags learned how to use the difficulty slider
Dont do it
I played oblivion first and they both blew my socks off but i was so blown away by how unique morrowind was. It was the first open world rpg which i finished and i miss the feeling of having all these possibilities in front of me and all this unique world to explore and steal and meet people. I was disappointing by skyrim in many ways because of my expectations and i am very much looking forward to seeing what the next ES is all about. I hope the rebuild the magic system and focus on stuff that isn't gay like getting a job in a mill and fuck the crafting i want good loot again.
"Oh, what's this bandit's novel about vampires?"
[Spoiler]OH SNAP.[/spoiler]
I m pretty sure you can't kill them even after completing the quest/game.
cured my corpus (sorta) a couple nights ago and now I have to help spring a person from a floating prison.
Or finish up some Thieves Guild shenanigans first. I think Gentleman Jim has a few more for me.
Being a vampire and werewolf was great in morrowind also. Vampire clans give you a nice bump to your stats and being a werewolf makes you a fucking killing machine. Being a vampire in Oblivion is mostly aggravating while being a werewolf in skyrim is fucking gay.
What makes it so dang comfy?
Sponge enemies are annoying, and make anyone who didn't level their primary attack specialization useless and unable to advance without grinding. Neckbeards love to roleplay, casuals are just too retarded. If Oblivion didn't have that abysmal level scaling, 90% of all trashtalkers would never exist
Just play with the slider on 40% en you'll be fine, unless you like to 1 shot everything without even training in a game where you're supposed to do that.
Colorful palette. Generic setting. Magical music. Lots of closed cities. NPCs with voiceover and routine AI. Full interactivity with items, house customization etc
Uninstall because the game is terrible
its still funny every time i see it
People who didn't play Morrowind were
He was meant to filter out people who tried to start the main quest before being prepared to do so
I made my own mods to fix it, so i know pretty damn well how screwed the numbers are. By moving the slider you will be one shotting weak enemies like wolves, and still having trouble with fat fucks like ogres, not to mention that certain creatures stop spawning completely when you level up. And don't forget the daedric armor marauders.
Why the fuck would you like closed off cities? that is why they took levitate out which was a very nice feature of morrowind
It's a post about why the game is comfy. Every city feels like a closed community, living in a separate tiny universe. They are safe heavens adding to the atmosphere
Well, I've played and enjoyed a lot of different builds up to lvl 40+, so I know pretty damn well how possible it is to have a sorta balanced experience. My point isn't that the thing is extremely well done. It just can work, and it isn't as bad as people claim
Go get umbra by cheesing the bitch who has it
uninstall.exe
15-years-old much?
i thought it was pretty neat and definitely one of my favorites. and then the shivering isles came out.
then i was blown away.
>blown away by a mediocre game for its time
You need higher standards.
It's not impossible to play, but hard to enjoy for those who have the time, and too grindy for casuals who don't have the time. In a game where you have to kill around 10 enemies on average in every location you go, while a mere scamp takes 20 hits to kill? It takes ages to do anything, sucking all the enjoyment from the game
good bait kiddo
What was a good open world rpg out back then?
Yeah, I always hit those ruins first for dosh. It also seems dumb to walk back into the imperial city right after breaking out of jail
Funny how no one seems to react to the Emperor being dead..
Suicide and hope to be reborn in Morrowind instead.
Whats the best Oblivion mods to make the game fun?
The first thing I did was run to a nearby farming village looking place where everyone was invisible and I had no backstory for it, I thought I was having a stroke
Always went straight into the imperial city then picked a destination from there.
Goddamn I just want Skyblivion to be released
Go right to the end boss since he's scaled to my level
move
the
slider
morrowind
Agreed.
lol, I restarted Oblivion today. Actually at this point in the game. I decided to find a way to cross without getting wet. So I went right, got into a fight with a flying monkey thing and found a cave. I'm going to explore the cave first, then check the ruins out. Fuck the amulet. Fuck Joufre and Fuck the king.
Kill jester
total bullshit story, you can't use alchemy when in combat, especially not when paralyzed
Oblivion's intro was better than Skyrim's.
Oblivion was comfy af.
I remember using this map as a kid because I had no fucking clue where to go in the game. This helped a lot.
The beginning of morrowind and oblivion definitely feel like you are more important and than skyrim that you have some kind of destiny being guided by the gods. Skyrim steers you through the beginning after a slightly long intro scene and i never felt like being dragonbourne really mattered.
I think the "Quest Award Leveler" mod is an absolute must-have mod. I wouldn't replay the game without it.
same, It was surprisingly accurate
stack 100% chamaleon
Yeah you can, with alembics and mortar+pestle in inventory
loot market district barrels until I have 99 lockpicks and 67 pairs of sandals
The one that got me the worst was the town where everyone was weird, and then you go into the church and read the book at the altar and it's all fucked up. The one where you end up in the caves underneath to save someone
Turn off this shit game and play baldur's gate instead.
not bait but poor wording. would be more accurate to say I refuse to believe anyone with good taste in games was blown away by Oblivion
This is the correct answer
See if the new mods I installed are working properly.
Head to the ruins where Umbra is and kill her ass by sitting in the corner on the wall, get her op as fuck sword and then go shit on the arena for some dosh.
The bitch who has it is also named Umbra
Turn off the game and put fallout 3 in instead. I would rather play oblivion with guns cause guns are cooler then fruityass magic spells. Give me my combat shotgun over your nerdass electric spells any day.
>be sickly woodelf
>immediately scour the shoreline for clams because I'm famished

>put 1500 hours into oblivion
fuck you i was blown away
unironically this
Yea, I dont use many mods anymore, not a fan of big overhauls, but this one is a necessity
I hate having to hold off quests because the rewards are levelled and the weapon you get at lvl 5 is trash by lvl 10
>has to explore ruins for the 1st time
>later on you fuck it up because there is a high gold reward quest for picking ayleid shit inside.
>you sold it inadvertently therefore you failed the quest
Skyrim was so FUCKED by Sony because of Fucking PS3 hardware that it isnt even Funny.

>mfw consolefag who couldn’t access the unofficial patch
Luckily, only the Vampirism cure quest was broken beyond repair for me. Skyrim, otoh, was a nightmare without the patch.
I was about that age when Oblivion came out and I wasn't blown away. I was definitely obsessed with playing it for a few months, but after about 80 hours it sunk in that everything was scaled and I'd never find any cool new loot in the different towns because they didn't want you buy armor above your level. At that point a ton of seemingly minor nitpicks piled on top of another till I just couldn't enjoy the game anymore, and no amount of making new characters and trying different builds would fix it.
What? Skyrim ran like shit on the PS3. I can’t even access that underground dwarven city anymore without the game crashing.
What the fuck are you talking about? Are you implying that Oblivion's design choices were shaped by the hardware limitations of the PS3, because that sounds like a pretty fucking stupid claim with no evidence.
I have never been blown
Whoops, I read that wrong, but luckily my statement is still accurate. You realize Morrowind ran on a fucking XBOX right? Shit hardware doesn't account for stripping out attributes, weapon types, armor peices, factions, etc.
Based
Oblivion was made to fit on the orignal DVD format for X360, the engine simply ahd no problems with fallout.
Skyrim on the other hand, Bethesda decided to work on the PS3 earlier and they got FUCKED trying to make papyrus, effects and physics work on the thrice cursed hardware that cant even calculate POL without dying with any game.
and Like Oblivion, they pruned a lot of shit, but instead of cutting it to fit on the DVD media, they quit because the game didn't wanted to work on the FUCKING CELL processor.
Skyrim in the PS3 is full of problems because of this, and Sony gave the biggest Fuck you to Bethesda with no support,Q&A and Troubleshooting.
Everyone hated doing games for the PS3 with a good reason.
and before someone says it, all bethesda games runs well on MS consoles because they still work as PC's, plus since morrowind they out them on the top priority, the NoClip Documentary explains this.
Okay that's actually interesting, thank you for elaborating. Honestly though it sounds like it was Bethesda's fault for even trying that in the first place.
i swim across to that island and kill the bandits then use the rag doll physics to put them into sex positions

Congratulations! You've just explored the best dungeon in the game. All other dungeons in the game are watered-down, cookie-cutter versions of this dungeon, so there's no need to ever play another one.

Fight mudcrabs, sell their meat, become mudcrabs farmer.
As time passes by become mudcrab scholar, retire.
Mudcrabs, disgusting creatures.
I remember using the scroll and jumping fuck off far into the ocean and then getting eaten by a fuck off big fish. Amazing game, truly ahead of it's time and at the same time the last of an era.

Gonna replay morrowind without exploits, what is the most interesting build?
Wishing to find the next set of chains to play with.
go to the middle of the city, stack paintbrushes to climb and just finish the game lmao
try pasifist beast wrangler. only fight with control animal/npc and provide healing for them
Fine, re-installing. What mods?
Go to weynon priory, take all the stuff Jauffre gives you, then find someone who I can kill without getting caught so I can join the dark brotherhood.
Promise myself that I'm gonna avoid fast travel and take my time exploring the world before getting impatient 2 hours in.
Promise myself that I'll build a heavy-armor warrior this time, and kick down doors.
End up sneaking everywhere and stabbing people for sneak attacks.

Visit imperial markets asap and purchase first tier illusion spells like rage and invisibility. At that point you’re set for early game and can make enemies berserk to attack each other while you remain invisible. Then after leveling up illusion more get command creature/humanoid after that point you literally don’t need anything else.
Though you could go for fast Oblivion gates and then save scum to get the magicka enchantment orbs to utilize spellmaking to its full potential.
