Oblivion Remastered

Ive completed the mges guild, got azura's star,skeleton key and ring of khajita, and just started dark brotherhood, did about 6 oblivion gates and progression the mainstory enough to get martin to the cloud temple

level 17

I've done Arena, Mage, and Fighter quests, and about half of the Dark Brotherhood (on a different character). I've also done Knights of the Nine.
I just started the main quest. I went into Kvatch at level 19 and expected it to be hard because people online keep bitching about it. Their builds must be absolute dogshit, because it was a disappointing cake walk.
Went and slept afterwards and had like 6 levels banked, kek. So, now I'm level 25 and just to Cloudruler. In basically just levelling stats I don't even care about now.
I'll probably finish the main quest, mop up DB and do the Thieves quests on my other character, and then do Shivering Isles. After that, I think I'll bounce onto something else. It's been fun, but I don't think it's got the ability to be a long-term game for me like it is for some people.

Isn’t it crazy how bethesda can just update the graphics and slightly tweak the gameplay and oblivion becomes a huge cultural fixture again?
Bethesda games really are built different

I'd give this a go but remember before that by level 30 or whatever, bandits and shit have the best weapons./armor which is kinda retarded

Apprentice is a bit of a meme. Atronach was good if you don't mind using alchemy (hint: you should) but in either case for mages potions are best instead of mage/apprentice sign
You coudld also use use console commands to remove it and give yourself a different one

Just made my way to Riften and about to fuck the Dibellan bunkhouse whore

by level 30 you should be bored with the game because you basically become a god with magic
if the shitty level 30 bandits are giving you trouble just give up gaming

lvl 20, made zero progress towards main quest, lot of side quests. probably the best elder scrolls side quests in the entire series

alchemy level 100 followed by merchant level 100 destroys this game tho

How far have you progressed

Expert difficulity, lvl 15 (leveling held back on purpose to up minor skills), im kinda rolling trough enemies with my light armor spellblade build. Got potions, poisons, spells, buffs, enchanted weapons and armor for everything I can face. Paralyze and drain fatigue is way too strong, I dont like to use them much. Doing the shivering isles now but Im eyeing a new master difficulty run but I wanna build a sneaky archer build, probably with conjuration+illusion but I feel like archer is not at all viable at master.
Havent done a pure melee or sneak build yet. Spells are too much fun.

also

thousands of hours in morrowind, oblivion, skyrim and I probably never finished the main quests more than once, if that

overall I am extremely satisfied with this game. couldnt have fun with anything for half a decade but this one took me back to my childhood. looks pretty and runs fine. Now I kinda wanna play TES6, but with even more rpg depth (not seeing it happen) and bigger world.

Never said it was hard
Just found it retarded
And I was aiming to do all the gui;ds/dungeons on one character
I don't play games like this to replay them since there are very few, if any, quest options that change on new characters

You coudld also use use console commands to remove it and give yourself a different one

thanks so much anon! i found this command to do it: showbirthsignmenu
that was easier than i thought to change it.

70 hours in and I've done maybe 2 or 3 missions in the main quest. Finished Knights of the Nine and slowly chipping away at the guild quests. I plan to join the Dark Brotherhood at some point but I also don't feel like murdering anyone to get in.
Right now I'm just enjoying not using fast travel, roaming the countryside picking ingredients, taking screenshots and leveling my magicka skills. Really wish the dungeons and oblivion gates weren't so tediously bland.

Yes, Skyrim is fun, and you should explore more. The Daedric quests in Skyrim are way better than in Oblivion.

my equipment keeps disappearing from my inventory when I reload a savefile, it's getting very annoying, I already lost several hours of progress because of this shit, does the unnofficial patch fix this shit?

If Aldmeris never existed, where did the Aldmer come from? Summerset?

Will they ever fix cloud saves on pc?

I've finished the main quest and the mage's guild and I don't remember the villains being so underbaked when I played the original. Like, I don't get why Camoran did everything he did other than he's a Dagon worshipper and reading the Mysterium Xarxes fucked him up. It doesn't help that your only interaction with him is at the very end just before you kill him. I also don't really get what Mannimarco's beef with the mage's guild is.

Anyway I made a second character and powerleveled them to 20+. This one doesn't believe in magic. Also I saw Reddit was whining about not being able to do Kvatch after level 10 so I did it at lvl 20 naked.

Put Aid for Bruma on hold to start Shivering Isles and just entered Mania/Dementia. I'm not exactly enthralled with the DLC so far, but I was told level 20 was a decent time to start.

Modders already added in perfect block, auto local map, weapon range fix, old Oblivion item categories

Kino

They had a golden opportunity to fix, or at least tweak the level scaling. I don't mind the bandits having daedric gear, I mind them taking more damage to die than they should. Either health and damage outputs should have been capped off at around level 15, or the players damage output needs to be boosted.

alchemy level 100 followed by merchant level 100

this is my main concern with the game. gold is too important to ignore. alchemy is super fun, potions are extremely good and obviously the best way to make money. mercantile -while not necessary- it lets you achiece the same level of progress with 1/2-1/3 of potions/loot sold.

I feel like there is not enough ways to make decent income.

With 5 fame you can start the vampire hunter quest and sell vampire dust for 250g/piece, for my next expert/master playtrough I will try to go down that path instead of the usual potion factory. There are like a dozen vampire caves/dungeons to farm.

Just do the Mehrunes Razor dungeon for money. The dark elves there respawn

gold is too important to ignore

is it? what can you even buy besides a house that isn't found adventuring

If you enchant your weapons you'll tear through bandits. I'm doing it already with daggers so hammers and claymores must be crazy.

I'm not exactly enthralled with the DLC

it feels slightly less quality oblivion. Sure sheagorath is a fun character and the whole craziness of the shivering isles is kinda fun, but it feels a bit hastly made and non complete. Still nice addition and more depth to the game.
You can visit the isles anytime but some rewards will be weaker and the armors you can make there are also bound to your level, but you can go back anytime and remake them higher quality.

Or just use the new shield bash, it does big damage and stunlocks anything that's not resistant to normal weapons

Dementia > Mania
Seducers > Saints
Killing Syl > Poisoning Thadon

Even with enchanted gear, by level 20 the problem is pretty inflated. Chillrend does seem to be the best weapon in the game this time. Longswords are so slow now.

Does shield bashing increase block skill? Is it a viable primary attack?

is it? what can you even buy besides a house that isn't found adventuring

I mean on adept its not too important, but after I sank 15 hours into my first adept character and renew my knowledge of the game I went higher difficulty and there I needed all the tools available to succeed. Echanting is not cheap.
Houses you find for "free" are empty and expensive to fully upgrade.
And training skills is always a giant gold sink. When I get my income going I use my 5 train/level every level. Usually the minor skills or weapon/armor training.
Obviously there is always a cheesy way to get things done, you can set the difficulty to zero and let mudcrabs hit you for half and hour to level armor for example...

Mehrunes Razor dungeon for money

I will check it out.

Thanks anon, I will

How is my favorite house in the Remaster, Arborwatch?

Does shield bashing increase block skill?

I don't think so, but I didn't start doing it after I was already at Block 100

Is it a viable primary attack?

Oh yeah, on my melee character I've stopped using weapons entirely unless I come across something you can't hurt with normal attacks like ghosts, I use Deadric weapons for them. You can stunlock just about anything if you time it right. I recorded this on max difficulty with no other gear.

taking 40 secs to kill one enemy is fun to you?

level 2

haven't touched any oblivion gates

haven't even gone to anvil yet

working on speechcraft as i talk to vendors

visit a dungeon or two

read the lore books on the shelfs at the tavern

comfy

Two handed weapons are retarded slow and almost not viable and pales in comparison to 1 handed. Something is wrong with the animation and the damage is barely higher. Might be not true with blunt weapons but claymores suck, unfortunately.

It was just to see if I could beat this part naked at lvl 20+ on max difficulty. Max difficulty sucks ass though, I'm just trying to show that you can stunlock.

There is a vram leak. So my 3080 will alright for a bit, then suddenly you change cells, and it drops to 10 fps until you back out to main menu and reload.

Anyone else's Savior of Bruma statue bugged as fuck? Mine is naked, has no podium for some reason, and slides when I push it.

equip sword and shield

open inventory

holding up fists like I have no weapons

huh?

Their builds must be absolute dogshit, because it was a disappointing cake walk.

adept or expert?

drain fatigue enchants

paralyse spells

I am now unkillable.
Drain fatigue also bugs out. Enemies trip over themselves with their drained fatigue twice or 3 times and they stay on the ground after that, then you can cast telekinesis on them. Its kinda funny.

this isnt true?
my claymore with sigil stone enchant to give it +10 fire damage (triples the dps of the weapon) and im shredding it up while jump dodging into fireballing enemies.

main quest finale spoilers

mfw in the final cutscene they added an extra bit where dragon martin looks at (You) one last time before turning into stone

my dude Blazer's erotic statues mod is known to be unstable

is it worth keeping vampire powers?

I think they only show up if you unsheath?

yeah and on adept you can stand naked and let them hit you while you shoot arrows into their faces.
it works, but it has like 2-3 damage over longswords and they are super slow.

it's what you get for being a women
craftsman got horny while making it and decided to jerk off instead of finishing it

Well Anon Babble?
Does her work have sovl or is it slop?

depends
it has 4 stages, it increasing attributes and probably many skills depeding on your bloodthirst levels. might give you some neat spells too? Not sure I cured myself after every vampire encounter.
its good material for roleplaying and adding more depth to the game.
at 4th stage the sun will kill you fast but with high restoration and custom made spells you can outheal it.
There is a free house under leyawiin, on the shore, with upgrades of 'cattle' cages. it will provide you free beggars to feed on.

thats a penis. she painting a penis. clearly all she can think about is penis. fraud was right again.

Refuse remasters and remakes. Play the original.

Already finished all the guild quests, halfway thru the main quest, finished the knights of the nine, about half way thru the shivering isles quest. Currently at level 18 and just using a custom class for Destruction magic, sneaking, and blades as my main things along with Alteration, acrobatics, security, and light armor. I'm finding myself missing the old stability related Unofficial Oblivion Patches with all the crashes.

try full mage build

too many spells to keep track of

takes forever to level anything up

Fuck this going back to melee

why? its an insanely well made remaster (remake) of an all time classic. I refuse leftie woke dei slop instead. seems like there is one game worth to play every 5 years, this is one.

I did Kvatch at level one for obvious reasons. Did the arena but haven’t fought the orc guy yet. Doing the fighter’s guild quests at the moment. I love asking people about rumors in each town I go to because they often lead to quests and I’ve done several already.

This is nothing new to me of course since I played the original, but it is really something special. Having every character be voiced might have been the right decision since it feels like a simulation of reality. Regardless of using the same voice actors for every race.

its an insanely well made remaster

lmao

im like level 20, 55 hours in maybe 60, have it set to 50% less leveling speed, reduced starting stats/skills
got thieves guild fighters guild finished and next is mages guild, got the book and stopped to explore and clear more of the map during the get the daedric artifact part
gonna do arena soon and level up mage spells
even on expert its pretty faceroll difficulty now, i swing 2 handed ebony sword and daedra flop dead in 2 hits
since theres no completed dungeon marks i am clearing them as i discover them so i can 100% the map, getting really tired of the oblivion gates because some of them are like hee hee actually its not this tower go slog through 3 more towers to find the right now! fuck that

Fuck there is a free castle to obtain not far from cheydinhal and I completly missed it 20 years ago, just like now. Found the pirate den, the magetower, the dark brotherhood den and I completly missed a giant fucking free castle.

You probably didn't get any of the DLC back then

How are the waifu mods looking? I cant play bethesda games unless I make my ideal waifu.

Thats in the original too

restarted since i moved over from a pirated version to steam and all my stat points reset when i changed up my character a bit. met jauffre so far... got sidetracked by this mage guild shit though.

for some reason though i opted not to fast travel for this game, kinda have to plan out what you intend to do a bit more

I'm 40 hours in and the only quests I did are the Umbacano questlines
I'm level 30

Nope in the og he just looks at the ground and breathes heavily for a few seconds. I immediately went on to check if the scene was the same after I finished since I didn't remember it that well. Definitely a new addition.

highest quality chinese asset flip remaster

For HDR screen users I highly suggest throwing RenoDX at the game - does wonders for visual quality.

It's not new

Test

Nigga, the scenes are on youtube. Why don't you check for yourself?

Already have. Now I'm enjoying the remaster.

If that's true, that's heartbreaking and so profound, Martin is such a great character

Im 35 hours in, level 9. I do nothing but drink skooma all day long in a skooma den with my buddies and pickpocket lords to sustain my skooma addiction. I only completed one quest, the dark brotherhood initiation quest, only because I killed a beggar in a skooma withdrawal fuelled rage. that cunt stole my secret stash of skooma. I know it was him.
I rate this game 10/10

Yes you fucking nigger I've already looked at its literally the fucking same on both versions

i see what happened here, anon was standing in the exact direction Martin/Akatosh looked at when the anim played, and thought he was looking at him specifically

This is why we needed a remaster.

Has any Remastered freeze frame conversations managed to top the ones from the original?

what was it about gamebryo in 2006 that made every single person a potato

I did a little bit of the Fighters Guild, completed the Knights of the Nine and used Pelinal's Armor to steam through the main quest. Taking some time off then I'll make a new character and do the Mage's/Fighter's guild quest. Having a blast since I never played the original.

I gave up
The stuttering and performance is too bad for me

Wear grey fox cowl

Get seen by guards

Skill issue

gpu?

I don't know the accurate time because I idle a lot but it's at least a few dozen hours. I do the main story in bits and I'm at the part where I have the 4 books but don't know what to do, never got this far in the original. I'm loving it but hope I don't get burnt out. I've been playing expert but once you get your enchantments going the game becomes way easier, I already have max damage reduction. I always disliked how centralized enchantments are though in Oblivion and Skyrim, it makes the difficulty far more imbalanced.

Leveling stats you don't care about

Kek, try it, see how they works for you.

no fast travels? based

Running so.e mages guild quests online for an oil change

I'm baffled they haven't patched the difficulty yet either. Adept > Expert is a 3.5x increase in damage taken and damage to enemies reduced, there's no middleground and a lot of people are complaining. They removed the difficulty slider which had a bunch of different increments and now they're spread out. I don't get how they didn't test something so fundamental, makes all their talk about how they're big fans sound insincere. For me I don't give a shit, I didn't get filtered by it being too hard, I reached the point it was still easy.

I'm enjoying it; main problem so far is how fast you level up. I did a few dungeons and a couple of quests and arrived at Kvatch at like level 15.
Also did they remove the local map or am I retarded?

Proceeding through the Thives Guild and a bit of the Dark Brotherhood. Game runs with no issues other than the Alchemy and stolen ingredients bug. The new voice acting and non potato face characters do a lot to improve the experience.

Breton + lord are the most broken things to start off with, freakin 65% damage reduction to all magic damage, 15% physical, and 50 more max magicka to boot, straight from the beginning. Good for any build.

keep zooming in

gives me deja vu from the hitman paris level

I haven't touched the main quest as is tradition with bethesda games. I completed fighters guild and on grey prince of arena. I've just been fucking around doing daedric quests for a while

remaster buffed the leveling rate of minor skills. one of the most popular mods, ascension, basically reverts all the ez mod stuff the remaster added.

nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/35?tab=description

You have to zoom in all the way then press R2 again. Yes it's retarded.

I have done all the side stuff i have found except for Bruma, which i will do next
I have finished all guilds except for mage which im doing currently.
Still have to go to Kvatch and find Martin, however i did pass by and saw that it was destroyed (and a lot of npcs mention it)
not my problem tho
Level 30ish

lizard nations

It fits all too well.

not realizing boots of springheel jack is the true reward

shiggy my piggy, you absolute fool

the sample size was like 100 people on an unofficial site

Is the ascension mod worth it

(me)
also i regret having fiven Umbra back to the daedra dude
since i dont have enough Mysticism i can't enchant a weapon with soultrap on hit so in order to fill up my azura star i have to use the staff they made for me when i joined the mage's guild
Umbra's was so much convenient but i thought i just needed to know the spell to enchant it on a weapon, it seems i also need to be able to cast it and the only magic i have casted has been shitty Restoration spells since i have low magicka (resto up to 90ish tho from shitty spells).

As you have been told you hve to keep zooming in, however there is also a mod that opens local map when you are in a dungeon or a city
goat mod right there

Anon you're retarded

I got just past the kvatch and a bunch of faction quests and dropped it at level 13. Kinda dont wanna continue too since it will ruin skyblivion for myself even more. Also jesus fuck why didnt they fix all this scaling shit.

How far have you progressed in the main quest? Have you done any of the guild questlines?

Been there, done that

your location in that scene is fixed

Also jesus fuck why didnt they fix all this scaling shit.

yOu'Re SuPpOsEd To Be AbLe To Go AnYwHeRe At AnY lEvEl AnD StIlL hAvE a ChAlLeNgE - todd howard

Are there any mods that let me level up to 20 or 30 almost instantly? Or should I just use the command console.

you can't even use otherwise the guards get on your ass instantly

Bruh you are literally gifted a secret identity that can soak all of your crimes and wipe your bounty just by removing the cowl.

And you're supposed to sneak when using it in populated areas, dumbass.

Im sorry for this negativity in Oblivion thread.
There are some aspects which I like about the game, like quests seem a bit more nuanced and interesting, soundtrack is very very good, but the main storyline is a joke.
In general, I still prefer Skyrim. It's simply way more fun. I am very disappointed in the remaster in terms of expectations, I thought it would be better Skyrim but it isn't. Sorry.

Its called playing the game, you're level 20 after like 2 hours

it just looks a bit odd when you do a random ass early cave or quest and the game vomits these ultra high tier enemies at you suddenly

Just finished the Knights of the Nine DLC myself. Did Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood first to get the infamy out of the way before I wiped it in the pilgrimage.

Holding off on the rest of the mage's guild until level 21 so I can get a better staff. Already own all the DLC properties and have them fully kitted out.

Probably going to start doing alchemy next.

plays a foid

kys

Why does every character wearing a helmet look 5'3?

How do you get them? Just never finish the quest?

You fell for the bs. Oblivion is just skyrim with a worse levelling system, worse level scaling, worse world, worse dungeons, worse design, worse combat. The only things it is better in is the side and guild quests + magic system.

Dropped off the amulet, but I've not gone to Kvatch yet. I'm level 10 so I should do soon enough, but I've just been having fun doing sidequests - mostly mages and thieves guilds so far.

how do you guys level so fast? i'm 25 hours in and only level 15 with my blade/bow (my main attacks) 57 skill each

Level 26, it's now unplayable on the PS5 as I 3 shot everything as a damage sponge, or turn up the difficulty and get 3 shot by damage sponges. I know I can enchantments easy mode but being tied to soul gems and cheeses doesn't sound better.
I'm so disappointed.

I personally prefer magic in skyrim too...Also there are shouts and interesting perks...I did get baited into trying Oblivion. I'm not even looking towards morrowing in any way, I was this close.

Beat the game with my moralfag paladin Breton yesterday. No need to post screenshot, basically just looks like OP's pic.
Now doing a sneaky murdering Argonian.
I installed the 1/2 leveling speed mod this time, I hope it's not too slow.

preferring skyrim magic that just has less spells and no spell crafting

but why

Eww. Leveling up is gay. That's my hot take.

Morrowind is a lot better than oblivion and offers a different experience than the later ES. It doesn't fell like a half-baked skyrim like oblivion

Imagine thinking Skyrim has the most interesting spells and perks when you can make your own "fuck you" as a spell or enchant.

is the dead drop part of brotherhood where todd ran out of money and time?

Probably do it now or wait until you're way higher and OP or something. Kvatch throws more enemies at you at once than anywhere else in the game and all your companions get their asses kicked so it's just you and Martin basically.

finished the fighter's guild, got to cloud ruler temple in the main story so I can do oblivion gates for sigil stones. on the last bit of knights of the nine right now, downloaded a mod that unenchants the armor so I can put my own shit on it. probably gonna finish the mage's guild next, then I'll do thieves guild and dark brotherhood, then shivering isles into the end of the main quest

i'm also doing mostly no fast travel, but i allow myself to travel to houses i own (or a city with a house i own)

now buying houses is like buying fast travel nodes

magic levels up way too quickly. if you heal yourself every once in a while or use charm to get better prices at merchants, you can end up at a high level while barely increasing your weapon skills.

Can't pay for voice lines, small indie compant pwease understand

Yeahhhh, I really don't fancy getting my ass handed to me by a hundred daedroths.

skyblivion when. Remaster just shows how trash oblivion itself is. Just the quests in skyrim is all I need.

nta but sigil spells and channeled spells are cool, but the removal of many effects and spell crafting doesn't make up for this at all. a new game with these types of spells and spellcrafting would be great

Because I don't like overcomplicatin shit. I hate crafting in any shape or form. Maybe I just don't have imagination dunno

65 hours and I've finished the main story and mages guild. I'm taking a break to check out E33 for a while and then I'll come back and do the arena and dlc on this chatacter and then maybe start a new game to do dark brotherhood and thieves guild.
I really enjoyed the remaster. Most of the graphics and design choices work well and the tweaking to the leveling system is a huge improvement, much better than janky mods I've tried in the past. I always though enemy level scaling was good so that's no problem

That's fair, at least you're honest about it.

Starting to wonder if I should uninstall the slow leveling mod I have. It slows down everything 1/2. I already beat the game on one character but trying this now on this one. This character is just going to be using illusion and mysticism spells once in a while, my last guy leveled up so fast I think because restoration and destruction are just constantly used repeatedly.

also i regret having fiven Umbra back to the daedra dude

since i dont have enough Mysticism i can't enchant a weapon with soultrap on hit so in order to fill up my azura star i have to use the staff they made for me when i joined the mage's guild

Getting to 25 by spamming minor detect life should take like 10 minutes anon

So fucking this, it's bizarre.

Channeled spells was definitely the coolest thing about Skyrim. I'd like to see that return. But we need spellcasting back, and let us cast with a weapon in hand. I don't think dual wielding spells really added that much. It's just another one of those things that limits you because you either have to spec into it and use it all the time, or just use it once in a while and it sucks. I can't stress how gay it is that you can't be holding a fucking staff while using magic.

There's an ~80% mod out there that I think is a decent middle ground between OG Oblivion and the new levelling.
nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/1388?

I expected more of the arena quest and of the adoring fan for how much people tooted about these two.
I liked that the gray prince literally let me one shot him since he was in despair after learning about his heritage

just don't put them on when you are supposed to do it during a quest
you'll survive unless you are a jumplet

alteration and mysticism level slowly
it's just restoration, summoning and destruction that level up way too fast

The only things it is better in is the side and guild quests

I think I prefer Skyrim's Thieves Guild over Oblivion's and Companions over Fighters Guild
Oblivion has a bit more quest variety (and a cool TG final heist) but the guild characters are forgettable in comparison, Gray Fox's lore is interesting but he just acts like your employer most of the time while Nightingales felt like a real brotherhood
haven't checked Mages and DB yet

I got 70 hours of play time in about a week. I made 2 different toons that all got at least 16 hours of playtime and did every guild on them

The dual wielding is often not worth it for the cost to power ratio, either.

i have every achievement :)

Super Dragons!

I agree except for that story part. You could not be more wrong. Skyrim had a bizarrely terrible main story that was so bad most of us forgot it in how good everything else was.

I loved the arena when I was 12 cause it was just combat and gold but it's pretty short yeah, even if you do the gray prince shit

you just need some hp and like 50 acrobatics to survive the fall

slowing down everything is just going to make the problem worse.
I would cut experience from magic by 1/3 and then leave warrior and thief skills alone.
My blade skill is sitting at 60 after playing for 20 hours, but my destruction is at 90 despite using both skills the same amount. it's clearly magic skills that have been overbuffed.

Todd could have fixed this so easy. Make you and enemies both hit hard. Remove sponge shit

I've only been playing for about 15 hours with this derpy cute dunfu but It's been long enough since the last time I played Oblivion that it's a good time to play it again. It's interesting to see everything uncannily familiar yet sometimes unrecognizable. It's like those "I remade [game]'s level in Unreal Engine / Cryengine" projects people make for practice except it's actually playable. I'm interested to see what the modding catalogue looks like a year from now.

It still has those reminders that you're playing a 2006 game, like the way faces animate with slightly exaggerated movements. I'm surprised that all save a few characters you encounter still have misshapen potatoes for heads when some of the old Oblivion mods made face proportions a lot better, so it's not like it's a rigging limitation. Maybe it was intentional.

yeah the hand system is pretty bad. Being able to cast with a full melee loadout is really nice, having to juggle shit in the favorites menu just so you can cast a buff spell then go back to using a shield and weapon again is such a pain in the dick.

troons

Even if you're doing it as a joke it's still retarded to call them "toons"
Are they fucking cartoon characters?

Yeah you're right. I've seen some mods that specifically target magic leveling, but then read in the comments that they have other issues. I think I'm going to uninstall it for now. I just looked at my last character and realized I was 100 restoration, 100 destruction through the majority of my playthrough, but my block was still like 50 even though I block just as often as using those spells.

it's the first thing I heard someone call a character back when I played vanilla wow and it just stuck with me I guess and I'm used to it now

Sponge NEEDs to die. In every game, in every way.

the term "toons" dates back to WoW's early days. It's probably older than you retard

And now it's just Souls

What I like about oblivions guild quests is that it actually takes a while to rank up, gives a sense of progression. In the companions you're already a member of the inner circle in like 3 quests, fighters guild you need to go around doing menial shit before you get the real quests. In oblivion you need to do 6 quests to even into the arcane university while winterhold just required casting one spell.

I did all the guilds, both dlc and a bunch of side quests with the amulet of kings in my inventory, defended kvatch before meeting jauffre and now they won't open the gate for me and martin so I guess I'm just the mad god now

NTA but to be fair to him, a lot of people hated the term back then too. I played WoW and thought it was the most retarded shit. I think it was server-specific dialect, like how people had different abbreviations or nicknames for the dungeons in certain servers.

How come Bruma is so comfy in a way that no town in Skyrim ever managed to replicate?

Oh yeah I agree. Skyrim's questlines are laughably short. And the College questline was such a massive nothingburger that I have no doubt Mages Guild questline is better, the bar is under the ground

how does one make gold with alchemy potions? just loot any material you see and craft potions then sell?

the vampire dude in dark brotherhood is bald for me lol

I beat the mages guild and Shivering Isles (I chose Duke of Mania). I'm not gonna play the main quest I don't think because I don't want to help Martin's wimpy do nothing ass and I certainly don't want to sacrifice any based Daedric artifacts to him

Imperial cultural influence teaching savage nords civilization

You have my ear, citizen.

This game is fucking beautiful.
Also I switched from heavy armor to monk robes, they're just too cool.

Chameleon is pretty glitched up.
If you equip any constant effect chameleon item and then take it off, you'll be invisible / partially invisible until a restart.

How far have you progressed in the main quest?

Not at all after leaving the sewers. I played the Dark Broherhood questline and some other ebil shit but I will not do much more with that character. Will start another one soon that does everything else.
It's just weird af to be a murderer and then going on a holy crusade.

there some cammon tong guys in walkers camp or something that later in a quest are hostile to you but as is they don't attack you but will count as a murder if you kill them and they respawn

you should be able to wear robes over armor like you could in Morrowind. I was wearing full heavy armor under my robe as a spear wielding paladin and that shit was so sick.

Consider it to be seeing the error of your ways and repenting for your sins. A murder gone wrong has caused you to see that what you're doing is evil and you ask the divines for repentance.

Different guy here but I wasn't a fan of every guild quest in Skyrim having a grand cosmic scope but with nothing world-shaping to show for it at the end. I liked that Oblivion's guild quests were all local issues that mattered to the guilds but not much else in the grand scheme of things.

Yes shopkeeper, your entire stock of Resist Fire potions please.

Oh, I just like to be prepared in case of, uh...kitchen fires. Yeah.

Martin

do nothing

you mean

spend weeks deciphering Mysterium Xarxes while fighting its temptations

discovering the way into Paradise

leading the charge into Bruma Great Gate

literally closing shut the jaws of Oblivion forever at the cost of his own life

respect my fuarking emperor

you should be able to wear robes over armor like you could in Morrowind

this, also pauldrons, and armor having different enchant values
the games really just take away features in each subsequent iteration for no good reason

Based. Hail to the emperor.

forever

clearly not because otherwise the shivering isles portal would also vanish

gotta make the games moron proof for the console kiddies

yeah i came across hackdirt. i went into their inn and the inkeeper told me to leave, then i talked to him and bought a stay in a bed for the night, went up stairs to go to bed, they followed me up and stood next to the bed as i went to sleep, then woke me up 1 hour later to fight me and i slaughtered the entire town lol

Fucking Thalmor brainwashed useful idiots. Imagine being a retard nationalist nord over a based globalist empire supporter.

nice sharpness, idiot

IIRC Haskill says the portal can stay open because it's not an invasion or a threat to Tamriel

How to have fun with Oblivion? I feel like I'm doing nothing fun. Came out of the sewers, talked in the first city and someone sent me off to another city to find a botanist or whatever and now I have to collect 10 Nirnroot plants or something, also Ghablan or whatever a crazy midget is paranoid and making me check on people who are spying on him, and I also have to look for some missing guy to join the Mages Guild.

Nome of these even require combat, I just sometimes kill bandits or wolves in my way. I did kill a bandit dungeon and reached all the way to the end, but it was me going off the path

70 hours in. Level 24. Haven't turned in the Amulet of Kings yet. Still doing Mages Guild recommendations. I've only been to Cheydinhal, Bruma and Chorrol so I've also only done up to the elven bust quest for the Thieves Guild and the goblin mine quest for the Fighters Guild.
I don't fast travel and explore most dungeons, forts etc I pass on the way to each town so it's a slow burn.
Playing my standard Breton, Spell Blade 'do it all' character and will probably make more specialized characters later.

Ghablan

Ghablan Wheel? Ghablan Deal

unofficial patch

dont fall for this retarded bullshit its made by some tranny redditfag who sneaks in tons of his own autistic retarded tweaks because he thinks everyone should play the game how he wants

Did they fix the bug where gates start opening before you turn in the amulet?

I'm playing on expert. I focused on getting stronger so enemies died faster. I got strong enough to one shot every enemy. That was very fun for a while. Now tho, I'm in my 100% Chameleon suit just running past mobs and boosting my Acrobatics to skip the looping nature of dungeons.

You don't have to do any quest you get right away. If you aren't a fan of Skingrad, try taking a trip down to Anvil or over to Bravil. Starting the main quest by handing the amulet over and going down the Kvatch gets Oblivion gates popping up and you can find some decent gear and enemies in those.

Yea... Ghablan may have been the worst mission I've ever done in any videogame.

Have you done any of the guild questlines?

I uninstalled yesterday after encountering game breaking bugs in both of the final two thieves guild quests.
When searching for answers thinking I was doing something wrong, I found that these were bugs that had already been addressed by unofficial bugfix patches.
Not returning to this game until that is ported over.

if we could just get raytracing and DLSS or AMDFSR in the original game it wouldnt need a remaster
this looks great except the sun reflecting off water where its blocked by the hill

good god the blue filter is awful in every single reshade preset, just stop
HDR isnt even real

I wanted to be quirky and play a summoner (conjurer), but fuck it feels like stealth archer is also the best way to play this games just like in Skyrim.
I'm playing Conjurer + Blade & Block, basically summon a companion and then go fight the enemy 2 vs 1

lvl 11
took martin to cloud ruler temple
arena grand champion
joined dark brotherhood and did first two contracts
joined fighters guild
getting mages guild recs
need to do the vampirism cure
oblivion gates and the realm looks so fucking good and also exactly as i remember it on 360
need to join thieves guild - my first and only playthrough on 360 my shit bugged out in the imperial palace stealing the elder scroll so i never got to finish that

i play on my deck by streaming from my PC. looks amazing

Stealth archer is only the best in skyrim. In oblivion even in stealth, nightblade is better. Best is a paladin/magic knight build

HDR isnt even real

True, if pixels aren't real how can HDR be real? Checkmate atheists!

why are consoleniggers like this?

naw stealth archer is still king thanks to poisons in oblivion. Paladin/Battlemage is pretty good thanks to custom spells and enchants, but nothing beats stealthily one shotting everything in the game at range.

I know where it comes from, that doesn't make it any more okay, it will always sound completely retarded

Actually playing games? Not the flex you think it is man.
Try doing that on master. It absolutely is not the best. Magic and enchantments are king if you know what you're doing.

game won't even save anymore

You know, when people told me Oblivion was filled to the brim with bugs I thought it was gonna be funny and silly glitches like standing on my horse or guards falling from the sky, not actual game breaking bugs, this shit is quite literally unplayable

Is it just me or does the Dark Brotherhood questline fall off hard after the culling?

Gathering aid for Bruma, but it feels like they'e preparing some epic showdown, so I put it on pause to do other stuff - don't wanna end the main quest too early, and me thinks the sigil stones from the gates are the only enchantments ... could be wrong
Currently doing the fighters guild quests, it's usually some comfy "kill trolls, save my daughter" type of stuff, but holy hell the infiltration of Blackwood got me fucked up ... I'm gonna continue tho, those fucks need to be all killed. I expect the Brotherhood arc to be kino, the Thieves as well, so I'll get all the mages recommendations first then some side-side shit - idk, it's all so new, and fresh, and exciting. Don't wanna rush it, leave the best for last.

30hrs in and it feels like playing it for the first time ... best part? Technically I'm under the minimum requirements, but the engine tweaks from nexus saved me - 50+ frames is all I need, baby, lower the distance to 'medium' & we flying!

Been playing it for a week, installed like a hundred mods - it's great. A big-tittied Khajiit jumping everywhere & shooting fireball is really fun.

imagine arguing over the "best" character/playstyle in an rpg
you fucking faggots are insufferable
total stealth archer death

I have done Kvatch and I took Martin up to Cloud Ruler Temple and that's it for the main quest. Gonna save that all for the end.
So far I've done:
Dark Brotherhood
Thieves Guild
Mages Guild
currently doing the Shivering Isles
next will be Fighter's Guild
then Knights of the Nine
then finally the Main Quest
That is the current plan anyway

autistically going through a checklist of arbitrary things to complete just to post it online and act like the game is too boring and easy

thats not playing videogames its being an autistic retard

want to use light armor for a change

all the helmets are ugly

if I wear a hood, it deactivates the master level perk and I lose massive defense

Guess I’ll stick to Daedric + black hood.

My friend told me to do shivering idles first so I just finished that, im level 10 now and will start the main quest.

unofficial patch

Don't even think about it, it fucks up the game in every game Shartmoor added it to, he's also a piece of shit. Nobody should ever install that crap

On the higher higher difficulty piosoning conjuring stealth archer is essential to survive until you can enchant.

and me thinks the sigil stones from the gates are the only enchantments ... could be wrong

go to the fucking wizards tower

i'm kinda over the 50% leveling speed
like 60 hours in the game and still only 70 in blades
regret it , 75% is probably a better skill gain rate
game is already a complete faceroll but i want to move on from 2 shotting most enemies and try new shit already

Post RP.

Are you using trainers? That is how I have a 100 in blade.

I managed to "solve" the problem anyway, turns out I had too much crap in my chest and apparently the game starts deleting your shit after a while if your chest is too full so I just sold all the useless shit from my chest
Still what a retarded bug

i probably should do that, just annoyed i gotta

I managed to "solve" the problem anyway, turns out I had too much crap in my chest and apparently the game starts deleting your shit after a while if your chest is too full so I just sold all the useless shit from my chest

Still what a retarded bug

wait what? Oh no....

Original > Remaster

I hate had few weapon and armor models Elder Scroll games have

Deliver the amulet and then go wandering

Doesn’t hold a candle to my favorite Austrian painter’s works

You’re replying to a seething faggot who pre-ordered Concord.

never heard of this being a problem... and im pretty sure id have heard about it but i havent been that into playing these games since long before Anon Babble was even a thing

If you're a third worlder that can't run this new version, sure.

Ran like shit on my 4090, and it didn't even look that good for the performance, game has stuttering, shimmering and artifacts up the ass thanks to the TAA bound dogfuck of an engine, it was that bad I just got a refund.
The OG game has more fidelity and clarity.

Lol it is. Stay mad faggot ;)

I don't know how true it is but I did see someone say that somewhere when I googled it and in fact emptying my chest worked so I like to think it is the case
What other explanation even is there? My equipped gear just suddenly began disappearing when I reloaded a save

Just level restoration and then cast fortify skill on whatever you want. I've had unbreakable repair hammers since getting access to spell making. I've got a custom spell that fortifies speed to 100 for 50 seconds and using it on a horse makes it a fucking F1 vehicle. I can get from the Imperial City to Skingrad in like 30 seconds.
Spells are absolutely broken in the game, and it's awesome.

Adept, but the people complaining about it were playing in Adept as well.
I've a custom spell called Tactical Nuke and it just fucking obliterates everything in range. Sure, I can only cast it once, but then I just drink a bunch of potions.
I think people struggling must be going in with pure melee or stealth builds.

Closed a few Oblivion gates while travellilg between cities to complete Mage/Warrior guild quests, then came across the Shivering Isles portal and remembered that I didn't want to run over all the place for that faggot.
I can't really remelber anything else looking forward to, so I'm considering going home to my argonian wife and her (probably widowed) mother, and getting collaborative lizard blowjobs for the rest of my days.

Don't feel bad anon, trainers are a staple of 'blivion.

If you told me this was concept art for Leyawiin or Cheydinhal, I'd believe it

I would but, that's my wife

I unironically love it

Nah.

I've already maxed out the stats I do care about. I've got two choices now: don't level at all, or just chuck it into personality and speed.

kill ONE npc

can no longer use crusader armor and weapons

What a shit DLC

break oath to be honorable

bruh why can't I just do whatever I want

Any news from the other provinces?

I've had unbreakable repair hammers since getting access to spell making.

wut?

Rule of the Mages guild

DONT STEAL ANYTHING!!!!

you can actually just take everything from the Mages Guild

Rule of the Darkbrotherhood

Don't kill and steal from your fellow members

literal quest has you do exactly that

Rules of the Thieves Guild

Don't kill anyone when youre stealing but actually it just means dont kill anyone when doing a quest for us

even then for all of these you can just easily fix the mistake

Knights of the Nine Rules

Kill some random NPC

ALL YOUR ARMOR AND WEAPONS ARE GONE FUCK YOU GO RUN ACROSS TO EVERY UNMARKED SHRINE WITH NO FAST TRAVEL OPTION AGAIN

Stealing from the guild will get you kicked, if you get caught, you idiot
don't get caught
And yes, breaking the tenants of armour given directly from a god has different rules than man and mer
you fucking N'WAH

Blunt kinda sucks, 2 handers suck even more. Blade gets waaaay better perks and a claymore is so fucking slow it's outclassed by every other bladed weapon, including daggers. Claymores are way, way too slow for the amount of damage they do and the bleed chance obviously scales with the amount of attacks you can do in a short period of time. Weakness to normal Weapons is great either way. Meanwhile, blunt gets a dumb shield effect and silence, lol. It's not hard to reach the armor cap with clothing and shield enchants.

Not to mention that shields are stronger as well now. The 1h blade favoritism is annoying.

Stealing from the guild will get you kicked out except the vast majority of items in the guild you can just take even if its really obviously stealing. Literally one of the best early game ways to make money is to join the mages guild and just rob them of all their Alchemy stuff and immediately sell it back to them

When you use fortify armorer to 100 (which costs fuck all to do in both gold to craft and Magika to cast) it counts the skill level as being 100. So you get unbreakable hammers.
I'm still actually only something like 69 without the buff, but I just cast it (2s duration) and immediately open the menu. I also repair all the armour I pick up for free skill levelling.
Restoration as a skill in this game is broken as fuck. It's fun.

Depends on if you actually enjoy roleplaying as a vampire. I had fun casting 100% invisibility and roaming the map, ducking in caves to rest during the day, then arriving at town to feed. The buffs to your stats are pretty significant but the sun damage really changes how you play the game. Thankfully you can avoid it if you feed often, but if not, you'd better carry a spammable healing spell that has at least a duration of 4-5 seconds.

well shit, guess I was smart when I decided to put armour and weapons in a different container to my misc stuff.

I wish the people you vampired changed and starting dying in the sun, so food becomes harder and harder to find.

can i murder someone with the gray fox cowl on to get the dark brotherhood to show up or will they not know who to visit if i do that

none of those other questlines have you wear gear specifically made and blessed by the gods anon. Sithis is the closest you get in the dark brotherhood, and she doesn't enforce the rules of the guild.

shield on maces just lets you use an enchant for something other than shield, power attacks seem much stronger than regular attacks so it's not like you have to worry about uptime.

would

Sneaking up to npcs and bludgeoning them to death has been pretty fun so far. Trying to level up my illusion enough for a decent paralyze spell.

oh shit lmao
i didnt even think of this kind of stuff

none of these things are hard to do. A 5 year old could decipher the Mysterium Xarxes

Kill yourself lizard

Dispose of this farm tool yourself, Dungmer

Fun fact: she's the strongest NPC in the game, being (playerLevel)+50

Gilf material

No and they seem to appear and disappear again at random. I've seen them spawn three different times and they all despawned again upon reloading, entering or leaving areas or just leaving and coming back later.
Still a pain in the ass and really annoying to see happen.

Are they immune to poison? That's a huge deal on the harder difficulties where you can just bait the invulnerable Warlords into traps.

2 handed is totally outclassed by 1 handed, but is min-maxing in a single player game seriously gonna stop you from playing as a 2-hander chad?

Blades also outclass blunt, it's true. But fuck it, sometimes you just want to smash something with a hammer. None of this min max bullshit should stop you from enjoying the game how you want, one of the benefits of a single player game. There is expectation of you to use the meta shit.

But yeah sure, if they patched the game and said "we're buffing two handed weapons a bit" I wouldn't be against. It's clear 1 hander + shield is the way to go to play optimally.

Currently rushing mage guild recommendations quests and completely ignored main quest after saving Emperor's son.

Got the thieves guild only to sell stolen loot.

Did the first quest for fighters guild but when I try to talk to guild masters in other city I can't get the recommendation quest (I'm probably retarded so I'll just google it later).

Also unlocked frostcrag spire, pretty cool place IMO.

Having fun so far playing it on and off for like 2-3 hours before going to sleep.

I mean you usually go elemental shield for enchants anyway so you get some nice magic resist with your shield. There aren't that many useful enchantments now with the fatigue change. Weakness to normal weapons is only accessible through random scrolls and blade power attacks so dealing 30% more physical damage is great. Silence is even less useful considering that bleed is one of the only other ways to increase your phsyical damage. Blade gets a huge damage boost unless you use a claymore.

There is no* expectation of you to use the meta shit.

All the old ladies are the most fuckable in the game. Absolute gilf simulator.

Yeah, it's been pretty handy. The high resist disease has made vampire hunting easier too.

I hear in the original you could just cycle back while swinging the two hander as a kill anything cheese.

brazil and turkey

nord

lol

I don't consider myself a min-maxer but I also don't enjoy gimping myself unnecessarily. Spending 20 seconds killing an enemy with a claymore or a mace versus killing something in 5 with a longsword isn't really that fun. Would help a lot if weakness to normal weapons was available as a spell and enchant. It wouldn't be as crazy as weakness to magic stacking but at that point you might as well use the console to kill enemies.

Good game but the two worst missions I'd ever played in all of gaming.
Watching a farmlady harvest grapes for a paranoid midget, and that fucking vampire cure. Getting 6 garlic while instakilled by the sun just hurt me to my soul.

3080ti

think about buying oblivion

people saying it runs like shit on newer gpus

body type 1 and 2 tumblr mechanic

Is this even worth looking playing?

Argonian

I bet Argonian is the least played despite it being a favorite.

Finished the main quest yesterday. I went through the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood a while ago and I just finished Knights of the Nine. Gonna do Shivering Isles later.

India

Imperial

um sir, your tire is flat

I fucking can't play this game like a normal person. Every time I try and see female bandits or enemies I immediately remember my skyrim playthroughs.

This guy just out of the fucking blue killing himself not a second after you stop conversation with him will never not be funny.
Maybe they should've given him a unique suicide animation like they did with Uriel getting assassinated or something, but I can guess the one thing everyone who plays the game will see was more important.

Yea. You'd be better off waiting but if you are on PC you can mod it. I'm on console and I should of waited for more patches first. Difficulty is just absolute shit, either to easy, too hard, or too hard but enchantments cheesed to too easy. Not good.

Russia not or Orcs

Britian not Breton

Waste of trips

how's the nude mods?

Runs fine on my machine

4070STI

7800X3D

There's a mod that changes body type to male and female.

There are some but I don't think any have full clothes implementation yet.

When I stripped Marie's armor off it seemed to give me a boner. Would kiss her dead lips. Maybe even hold her and spoon her for a while. Don't know if I'd fuck her though. Fucking a dead lady is too creepy for me.

I'm going to need more to this story. Did your Skyrim playthrough kill your Dad and rape your Mom?

I got Mage's Guild Recommendations I guess.
I've gotten kinda bored after Kvatch. I enjoyed Kvatch but maybe Pale Pass wasn't the best side quest, I got bored.

I don't know if you should never work in a morgue or if your the perfect guy to work in a morgue.

Ah, perfect gameplay for the Eldin Rang crowd

Playing a Sorcerer. Starsign Atronach. This is kind of annoying, but I felt like I needed to handicap myself a little and Ive never tried it before. I cant really see any big benifits with this starsign other than survivability against mages.

Currently at Kvatch. I am lvl 14 and getting cucked pretty badly. I am at the part where you open the gate and then like a billion fire atronachs spawn (probably depends on level) and I have no chance in hell

Greek - Imperial

Turk - Nord

Makes perfect sense when you think about it.

That's why you do the mage quest to reanimate her corpse
Skyrim Remastered will be hotter because you have easier access to Necromancy and it's less lorebreaking to use it openly

No one here will believe me but my girlfriend died a couple years ago (cocaine overdose) and I sometimes masturbate about the thought of the people working at the morgue having sex with her body

I'm fucked in the head, I know that

why is there no option for "RECENTLY LOOTED" in the inventory menu

It will always be Constantinoble to me!

I saw some mudcrabs a couple days ago. Nasty little beasts.

What achievements are a list of arbitrary things? From what I remember on the 360 the achievements are for doing things you'd do just playing the game.

demaster still didn't add a search function for inventory

What a buncha retards. Still worse than morrowind

doing an entire list of achievements just to get them done makes them arbitrary
its not playing the game, its doing things just because of le gamerscore

You just unlocked a new compliant for me. That would of been a huge improvement.

wearing male iron armour

I hate this type 2 demaster

It is pretty gay to get a platinum, still most of the achievements are just doing the quests

ok but if you get most of them within a week of the game releasing clearly you're cheevo hunting not playing the game

Some people like lists, some people like jerking off yo the idea of their girlfriends corpse being raped in a morgue. It takes all types, you know?

Add Perfect Block, Animation cancel block, Weapon range fix, Elemental spellcasting effects, and Shortcut wheel slowdown effect, and combat is basically fixed and is skill based now, you don't have to worry about level scaling if you have good reaction times.

Getting ganked is still an issue though cause no lock on and the camera is trash. But now you can atleast no-damage a tough opponent if you're good on it.
Now I just need a fatigue recovery fix and lock on and you got clunky Dark Souls

I don't buy the 1h > 2h. It feels like the higher base damage of the 2h's multiply out better stamina->damage ratio, exceptionally so with power attacks. They also have better reach. I play on too hard of a difficulty for 2h Blunt to be underpowered. I hit armor cap and just dump damage from my stamina with few opportunities to take damage in return

Play a stealth archer

they all look fucking terrible, completely retarded proportions, bug eyed globe tits with huge gaps between them, just all completely uncanny fake hyper bimbo trash, my god what the fuck is wrong with modders

All you have to do for Oblivion is the main quest and the guild quests. That is a pretty reasonable 100% goal. I'd probably do that naturally.

to be fair that sounds exactly like skyrim's difficulty. I had a dagger that did 1000+ shock damage
Everyone just uses the clown emoji on steem no matter what hardware you have. Most games are just poorly optimized.

I prefer my game feeling like an actual RPG and not some crude mockery of action game jank

can you do the 125% repair with that?

Their stat ratios from the very beginning are actually nice. Combine that with personality being their dump stat and you have the perfect all-rounder. They're also really easy to power scale from the very beginning because the entire game is built around water. Unless you're building a hyper mage or RPing I'd say Bretons and Argonians are tied for being the best starting races because of the early game momentum they give you.

Highest DPS is dagger.

Nah, one of thr tires is missing the sensor

mods that put clothes on flame atronachs?

daggers feel like objective shit to use so this just confirms my belief that someone is stuck in a juvenile analysis of base damage by attack speed and not accounting for damage multipliers, damage by stamina consumption, and so on

I just want I can kill them in 3 hits, they can kill me in 3 hits.

I did roll Breton lol

Why did the demaster remove sandals from the game? None of them show toes anymore. Too complicated for these retards?

wood elves cant grow beards. your character is flawed

default difficulty: you are an unkillable superhero

turn up difficulty just once: everything takes a hundred hits to kill and swats you like a fly back to the reload save screen

I really wish these Bethesdaniggers at least play-tested their game for 12 seconds.

Yeah where is the toes Todd? Toesucked feetlick chads rise up. They are genociding us. Help

finished the thieves, mages, and fighters guilds. finished the arena and dark brotherhood. about halfway done with main questline, then i'm off to shivering isles to do that questline. might do trials of the nine but idk. having a blast playing : )

gaenor bro

?

Not sure if it was like this in Oldblivion but the Argonains and Khajiit have cut off tails in robes and certain armors. I think a few clothes in Skyrim were like this too. How hard is it to just overlay the damn tail mesh for every clothing item? I'm willing to be not very

Is the katana you can pick up in the sewer good?

Yeah, playing anything but adept is pointless without abusing the game mechanics

any must use mods (played original on 360 back in the day) or just stick with vanilla?
maybe a mod for weapon scaling? i want my beloved umbra and chillrend but they're level locked if i remember?

Some nigga who cleatly never went to college and barely passed high-school math, calling my math juveniles is laughable.
Daggers get a stealth multiplier at x8, and on the hardest difficulty where no melee damage matters the speed of attack on enchantments absolutely melts everything in the game.
On master difficulty it's by far the best DPS choice, 2 handed being last.

HEEYEHAH

Just play a mage.

people crying about difficulty

I don't understand. I'm playing on Master using the same gear I got in the tutorial and have had no problems. I'm half way through the Mages guild quests and have explored most of the map. I'm also level 11 and decided to spam skills to make me over-level to better loot drops. Enemies are starting to wear and use stronger gear and summon dremora and I still haven't had any issues fighting. Unironically whats slowing me down and ruining my fun is the fact that I'll be running through a dungeon or something, beat all the enemies in a big fight and then the game will crash on me when I try to do or go somewhere else forcing me to replay the whole thing again.

When I was doing the Mage quest to get a staff, I had to reload over ten times because after I beat all the necromancers and tried to leave the area, the game would crash forcing me to do the battle over again.

Female khajiits aren't supposed to have beards, yet they all have beards in the remake.

lol is that bug STILL in this fucking game? holy shit they patched it in the OG

just so you know what I'm talking about, every object in the game gets a unique ID and eventually from you dropping shit everywhere, npcs firing arrows innawoods, etc the ID numbers wrap around

You are a conjurnigger, you aren't even playing the game.

endless loading screens

empty world

empty towns/cities

copy paste dungeons

copy paste caves

copy paste oblivion gates

ugly ass animations

ugly ass NPCs

brown and desaturated colors

runs like shit no matter the system

How is this shit acceptable? Are people just giving this game a pass since they're starved for "new" TES content?

enchantments

cheating. what an "ahhhh ackshully" response too, bro

Finished the main quest and guild questlines (including shivering isles). I had ZERO fun, the game is god awful. The only reason I was able to play this game is because I'm a neet with nothing to do and I'm willing to grind out achievements.

Still waiting for CBBE and skimpy armor

I reinstalled the original after buying this and I gotta say, Being able to go from starting the game to being in your save in 5 seconds is really nice. Having the inventory and options menu not in the same place was also very nice.

paralyzes you and summons Daedroth to eat your stiff body

what was that again?

errrr, hello

grug want unga bunga smash

Even Akatosh is depicted with a beard sometimes. Who the fuck told you elves can't have beards?

Daedric longsword deals only 2 less base damage than a daedric claymore fren.

Oh, just play on novice then

I see. Well clearing my chest worked in the end, I hope it doesn't happen again.

Seethe more. I will conjure, I will use bow and arrows, and I will jump on ledges where you cant hit me while I rain arrows on you.

I think it's a fun fantasy world to fuck around in. Did you always just hate Elder Scrolls? Go play some Japanese turn-based rpg or whatever it is you do.

Did you even read my post, dumbass?

sorry lil nigga this aint the Battle Bus, this is for OGs. Go back to your ads and sponsored content

Are people just giving this game a pass since they're starved for "new" TES content?

Yes.

Master mode with timed block mod is ok
Except it isn't really because it feels like absolute shit to hit like a wet noodle. Sponginess = Difficulty is a meme that needs to die

Are you a bosmer or are they just really tall?

Yeah, that's why I said just play a mage

100 hours, haven't started MSQ yet and I regret joining the thieves guild even though I always steal food to make pots. My only complaint is you can't rat the thieves guild out. I was expecting something like that to be available since in multiple quests you can choose to be sorta bad or good.

They are taller than humans but she is standing on stairs as I look directly at her

Only one I can really think of is a quest that triggers after picking up a certain item, but the location of that item is random.

start game

randomly run around doing whatever i want and a few side quests here and there

hit level 40

skills stopped leveling up

have no motivation to continue cause no more dopamine from leveling since it was so easy to level

Why am I always like this with every RPG? I haven't even delivered the amulet of kings yet.

All they had to do was leave the difficutly slider alone

What was the last game you fully enjoyed?

yeah, true

what did she need this ear of corn for...?

This is fair if you've played Oblivion before and know all the quests, but it isn't if it's your first time playing the game.
Just exist in the world bro, that's the most fun part of these games, go talk to random people, walk around town and pick up rumors, do the questlines and see what happens, that shit is fun.

You're poor.

Im level 7, and I'm on he main quest

I one-shot everything with my 100pts damage health spell, or my 40pts lightning spell.

I've avoided leveling since it made my day a PAIN the last time I played.

What's the point in leveling up anyway? I got 100 destruction.

Play the original

Completed the Mages Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Arena, and am about halfway through Thieves Guild. Barely started the Fighter's Guild or Main Quest
Currently at level 26
Shame that the game practically needs a reshade to look decent

I've avoided leveling since it made my day a PAIN the last time I played.

It's not as bad in this game, but still eh

What's the point in leveling up anyway?

Increasing your attributes for higher Int, Wis, Luck, etc. Doing that lets you go pretty nuts with Restoration skills later on once you hit level 100 with it

What's the point in leveling up anyway?

getting gear that doesn't look like shit

for sex of course

finished the Dark Brotherhood questline

finished the Thieves Guild questline

nearly finishing the Mages Guild questline

nearly finishing the Fighters Guild questline

did a bunch of other side quests too

already wearing fully enchanted daedric armor with sigil stones

barely did anything in the main quest, only took Martin and Jauffre to the Blades HQ

Is this the true Oblivion experience?

I would argue that you get to see the real content. I leveled up to 30 before I started questing. I want to do battle with Daedroths and Xivilai not scamps and imps.

You should only level if you are a mage

is playing the game the true oblivion experience?

uh?

Holy shit they exist.

Fair, but do you really want to take a stroll 20 meters outside the most guarded city, to encounter frost elementals and cave trolls?

get 60 fps everywhere on max settings

except this one road on the way to Leyawiin drops to 40 and maxes my gpu when I specifically look southeast

I don't get it. I don't even know what setting to turn down, nothing seems to do anything.

Because you can play the arena in the original without severe performance issues

RP wise the kingdom is currently in a crisis. The Emperor was assassinated. Their are Oblivion gates popping up everywhere. It make sense that the lands are in disarray. It doesn't break my immersion at all that I travel out of a city and get attacked by a minotaur on the road. Shit is fucked and in chaos. The cities are still protected behind their walls, but venturing out there, you have to be prepared for anything.

Kill yourself footfag

Expert

Light Armor

Dies in 2-3 hits

Takes 50 hits to kill anything

So is melee just not supposed to work or what the fuck is going on? Even a 8x sneak attack only does like 10% of a random bandits health.
Level 6 if that matters.

race based on the romans shoudn't have sandals bcuz i'm obsessed with an innocuous fetish

You probably like futa or some shit too.

innocuous

Kill yourself footfag

liking body parts of a woman is disgusting

kys faggot

why do i already feel like i've run out of shit to do? i've done the main quest, mages questline and a couple sidequests

It's been a problem since 2006. The only option is to turn down the difficulty and role play as the guy who always wins with no effort.

anyone have that post about how trannies hate footfags most of all?

Yeah, if you want to play melee, you need to play Adept or lower, or spam poisons. Or make an Enchanted weapon like picrel, but have soul trap on it since you will need an endless supply of souls to feed your weapon enchantment.

I brought the amulet to Jauffre and since then haven't touched the main quest and I've just been fucking around doing side quests and exploring because let's be honest it's been so long since I last played oblivion that I forgot most about it (somehow remembered the skeleton key though). I'm level 21 now and still not planning on getting close to Kvatch.

Cuz women and men have different feet and it's just another hurdle for those trannoids to get over. There's a reason why men's and women's shoe sizes are in their own category.

sneak attack for 1x damage!

I'm level 15, all smiths in the game are now selling Elven weaponry. You know how I know? Because I just checked all of them.

Not one of them, not one(1), single one of them is selling a longsword. daggers, claymores, shortswords, battle-axe etc WHERES A DAMN ELVEN SWORD

Did the Remaster fix telepathic NPCs if you sneak kill someone with magic? I remember trying to do the Dark Brotherhood as a made and killed the first guy while he was just laying in bed with a lightning staff and a guard flew into the inn before I could even think about leaving

Start of the game so making an OP enchanted weapon is still far away. Been using poisons so far and alchemy is by far my highest level skill just from making shit to survive.

Adept just turns the game into braindead easy mode, so that is pretty sad to hear.

I haven't played Shivering Isles in like a decade so paraphrasing, but yes you have the option of asking how the gate can exist if you already beat the game and iirc he basically says "doesnt violate the TOS for reality lel", because it's an invitation to come visit complete with a doorman who tells you that entering will probably fuck you up, not an invasion gate shitting out Dremora.

the random bandits stole them all, go kill some of them

Arena
All the guilds. Those take long ass time
Pilgrimage q, that one is huge.
Every city will keep you busy a few hours, some a few days.
Are you high?

You know I never really noticed but if you just do the Oblivion main quest without getting distracted by anything it's actually pretty short.

Because the game is mind numbing garbage and the only content is trash content.

the remaster’s inventory is somehow worse than the original

there use to be clean categories for things like soul gems, keys, etc but now they just get dumped with everything else and you can only sort by weight or value

so is Skyrim's, they're both just a bunch of fetch quests to the various cities

No shit? It's padded out with the oblivion gates.

Think the new version will have any interesting mod possibilities since it's on Unreal that just aren't possible with Bethesda's spaghetti code? Or is it just good old Beth jank engine but with a shiny Unreal grafix slathered over it?

Do the Dark Brotherhood

lmao I just imagined a tranny in a shoe store annoying the clerks

excuse me but where are the size 14 female shoes??? this is unacceptable, I cant find any.

welcome to oblivion's broken sponge enemy difficulty

spells are super annoying. the categories make almost zero sense. why not make a tab for all spell types??

Shield Bash in remaster is fucking busted as fuck, go nuts with STR and see monsters melts in two hits.

The jank is still in the remaster. It just has an unreal engine coat of paint with the shitty performance to match.

Is there any point in closing Oblivion gates after I already got all the sigil stones I wanted?

Some cool gear in some of them.

I guess we just make shit up and lie on the internet.

It's not even bad, literally runs fine. I get a slight stutter maybe like once in awhile when a cell loads or something, all the people whining about performance are definitely poor as fuck with dogshit rigs
