วีดีโอ

Excuse me, my mathematician academic (me too) acquaintance, but could you please do some quest/rp/lore maximization videos (for us short, irl Bosmer kings)? As an example, you could go over the forking paths of the quest "Paranoia" given by the in-game character Glarthir. I think this would be fruitful for your channel. I understand that you are more of a math guy, but there are some optimization questions in the lore parts of the game that I think you could easily answer. God bless.

I relate to the comment about the students finding your channel, my 7th graders found mine yesterday. I ended up de listing all the videos I had on there. Oh, and the skibidi comment is TOO TRUE.

It's been a long time since I looked at the preset classes since I always used a custom, save for one run with the Mage as-is. It's quite frustrating to see so many of the preset classes fail to give the player a sensible base combination of at least one of blunt/blade, one armor, one or two magics (and rarely both illusion and speechcraft) outside of heavier RP. I'm imaging how many players picked this up back in '06 as their first elder scrolls game, especially as a kid, picked one of the more botched/RP classes and struggled. As much as I deplored Skyrim's simplifications, the upside of not having as many long-term consequences from your first 1 hr of playtime, for new players, was nice.

What I took away from this. Overproduce restore fatigue potions and don't let the green bar drop.

If it helps, I just got a 100% Reflect Damage setup. It seems to stop stagger, but not knockback. I'd try a resist weapon build, but I'm not exactly trusting of my ability with console commands.

What's your nord's problem with redguards, huh?

I do not have the Unofficial Oblivion Patch but the difference between weapon reach is still very noticeable for me.

Have you tried many mods?

told ya

Ooooh a feral druid enjoyer! Kitties gotta stick together :D

Morrowind's greatest weakness is making boots of blinding speed so damn goddly yet break after every fight

I know when i activate berserk the agility debuff makes me stagger a lot more

I don't think Bethesda is embarrassed, I think they legitimately think that the current formula is the way it was originally intended and the person who set it up has long left the company.

I agree 100%, I was excited when I first saw Skyblivion, but then quickly realized: 1. There probably won't be any attributes 2. You probably can't jump and attack at the same time or strafe/dodge while fighting. 3. You probably can't cast spells with your weapon equipped like in Oblivion.... Probably won't even touch the game if any of these are true

If you jave a weapon unsheathed and you spellacast (holdit) it will go on faster

I hate bethesda and their slop products but I can't help watching these videos for some reason, maybe nostalgia for playing oblivion as a kid hahaha. Love to see the passion in these videos even if I don't love the topic. Keep it up <3

I wanted to drop this comment, you might find this interesting. While you are staggered, or doing heavy attack you can press the movement buttons and they move you just very slightly. If you keep pressing and alternating between movement buttons very fast, you can make quite the distance while you shouldnt't be able to move at all. Useful when your attack got blocked to avoid the counter attack, or make a standing heavy attack connect when you are initially out of range. Been a while since I played Oblivion, you might want to check if this works at all though :D

Using invisibility as a blink is so giga brained. Oh my goodness.

>Speechcraft is not useful to complete quests or kill enemies You know you can use Speechcraft to make bandits stop attacking you, right? And that there's loads of content locked behind whether someone considers you a friend? And that the quests universally considered the best (Paranoid and Whodunit?) primarily use speechcraft?

True but you should try to get endurance to 100 first since you get more hp that way

its a blessing in disguise that the physical damage formula is bugged otherwise the game will just be melee skyrim where you can just outtrade and easily kill everything without enchants.

Would love to know the specifics to this system. How stagger chance is calculated and all that.

How do you feel about Bethesda having a design philosophy of “we don’t like spreadsheets “ maybe it’s a Mandela effect but I’m super Todd’s spoken in interviews about how he doesn’t like when players know how the mechanics work numerically.

Gogron is great. "I don't know who the Night Mother is, but she pays me to kill people. My own mother should have loved me so much."

Game has broken bad leveling system period. Cope. I love this channel but cope. Its no philosophy its just truism. First, there are NO PURE CLASSES (if you take a pure RPG like Daggerfall the system allows you to play efficient pure classes). You can demolish high level enemies in Daggerfall with a powerful PURE warrior build. You cant do that in Oblivion since every character must use magic/debuffs. In Daggerfall, you are an efficient pure archer. In oblivion you are only efficient as arcane archer...that kills the main point of an old school RPG, dont get me wrong i still love the game to death and have beaten it on max difficulty but the game forces you to be a battlemage regrdless of class/playstyle.

The biggest problem with playing WoW is that it involves giving blizzard money and therefore actively supporting their behaviour, and that's completely inexcusable.

The Old Knight do you play with a controller or KBM? I don't seem to be having as many problems with swapping out a spell with a shield almost instantly in combat on my keyboard.

Been “watching” (more like listening) to your content as I’ve been replaying the game and I love the cozy vibes of this game and your commentary. You’re a font of information and a breath of fresh air as one of the very few on this platform who actually understands this game and its mechanics. As a source of credible info and pure entertainment, your videos have been invaluable to me lately. Do you have a patreon set up or something somewhere I can throw you a bone? I can tell you do this purely for love of the game but I’d like to donate to the church as a small token of appreciation anyways. Cheers, here’s hoping those remake rumors ring true and us oblivion fans are all eating good later this year.

1:13:44 that jumpscare lol

I love equipping spells like in Skyrim, but I also love being able to cast my spell while having a sword and shield equipped. I'd love to see a system where both are usable in a way. On another note, I don't like bandits in Daedric and rare armors. That should be reserved for boss level enemies.

I always play as a Jedi. All the magic schools plus blade. Enchant every item of clothing plus jewelry with fortifyagicka. Breton apprentice. It's clone wars anakin.

Morrowind: just make money Oblivion: just don't sleep Skyrim: just stealth archer

Thanks for the stream tonight my friend. Apologies for exposing your initial

So true though. Late game, melee damage is pathetic. I end up just putting enemies down left and right with a super strong touch spell and when magicka runs out I bat at them until it comes back to finish if need be. With the Ascension mod enemies seem a little more balanced though

Clanfear level efficiently because they use their head 😂

Daggerfall also had the best Guild/Faction system. While Oblivion has better Guild quests, what Daggerfall had going for it was the rewards for Rank. Fighters Guild let you sleep in the building, which in Daggerfall was rare and given Daggerfalls survival mechanics made the Fighters Guild all but essential at high enough Rank you could enter the building at any time (It locks at night otherwise, you could always exit at any time though) it also made services cheaper at each rank. The Mages Guild gave you access to more and more services. I will say I think Oblivion handled the Thieves Guild better, the Daggerfall Thieves Guild had the worst rewards for Rank in the entire game. Oblivion had both superior progression (based on gold earned fencing items) and better rewards for Rank (access to better and better fences).

26:02 😱😱😱

If the mechanics in the Oblivion remake are the same this channel is going to suddenly get a ton of traction.

Hey Old Knight, I want to return to Oblivion, and use your guides and insight. But I don’t know what to do! Could you perhaps make a video about most important things to do first to open up the game? For example mages guild to unlock custom magic. Idk what to do in my starting levels

Haha good to know, agility is almost completely useless as an attribute for almost all classes then, thanks!

Thank you for making this Basically it all makes sense more armor rating and heavy armor = more likely of not being staggered Light armor with barely any armor rating or just no armor at all = more likely to to be staggered Someone wrapped up in just pure steel or daedric armor are gonna be able to withstand punishment more and the force behind the weapon hitting them with the armor on will most likely get divided amongst the armor

needs more views. this captured my attention like nothin else and I wasn’t even high for it

This video, in particular, made me giggle because the conclusion is to wear armor and you kinda convinced me to try experimenting with no armor on. I might never go back from a two-handed weapon and a robe!

Can you do a stealth assassin guide? like what are the good skills to use and other stats.

imo Oblivion only needs a couple of mods/tweaks/self-imposed limitations to make it really fun to play through. My Skyrim mod list at what i would consider my personal “playable condition ” was well over 150 mods. My fine tuned “perfect personal condition” was over 300 mods long.

I remember as a Kid always taking mercantile and Speechcraft, then always forgetting to haggle, ah the joys of youth

"Meaow"

Dude bro, loving the Oblivion content in 2025! If the rumours of an official Oblivion remaster come to fruition, perhaps it could be a killer way to grow your channel as Oblivions put into the spotlight again.

Congress should look into this.

Get help. (Nah I’m just kidding. Actually, never change)
