Actually it does get easier once you reach certain levels, some quest items and rare drops like the mundane ring make the game trivial once you start stacking reflect damage and resist magic. Plus most of your damage starts to show when you actually reach level 100 in certain skills
I feel like Micky's got the perfect "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks" energy to discover some kinda monumental game breaking glitch. Sometimes I look at inputs done in speed running and wonder how the fuck they thought of that, they're actually channelling Mickgorath's energy.
You have to use conjuration for an easy start on the hardest difficulty, the skeleton dies easy, but it is scaled like an enemy not like you, so they have 6x more damage. You can always run away while regenerating magicka to spawn a distraction skeleton
The good ol' days of oblivion. That sweet spot in between childhood innocence and ordering pizzas while hot boxing your room with your friends. Good times.

Yo, love the Dragon Age reference. They're not as "open" as The Elder Scrolls (except with dialogue and characters) but Dragon Age: Origins is still by far one of the best games ever. If you haven't, and I'll check after writing this, please play it on the channel. Add whatever mods you want. I'd just love to see some DA:O shenanigans.
I've owned Dragon Age for a long time & still never completed it. It's a great game, no doubt about it but for some reason I just end up creating new characters 😅
Man I miss being a teenager on school holidays staying up all night playing Oblivion after downloading a heap of mods from PlanetElderScrolls and TESSource
Little trick: I noticed you weren't blocking when using your healing spells in the poison room. Blocking while casting spells cancels the spell animation allowing you to cast spells much faster.
The hard part is that enemies get exponentially stronger, whilst almost nothing you do does anything. When combined with weapons stats being static making questing useless. I'm pretty sure you can do literally 0 damage to enemies. I think one of the DLC might tier up some of the weapons? Wasn't on PS3 though

@@ABIGD0G That's the thing: the slider only affects the player. The monsters should still do the same damage to each other, so summons don't really become better
When number of mods >1000, that's when the true RNG begins. One can only do so much with a RNG, but when a system comes together in a stochastic manner, it's one of the few examples of when digital RN becomes close to a true RN.
“You gotta think with your mind when playing oblivion, I always think with my toes that’s why I lose.” Fucking legendary and infinitely relatable lmao 😂😂😂
Conjuration could be a good skill to invest in if you ever subject yourself to this pain again, since your summons don't deal pitiful baby damage like you. Also side note; It is so odd playing with a more compact, modded ui, then watching a video of the vanilla menus, the text looks so much bigger!
Man, when you start this game the scaling is pretty horrid unless you’re playing on an easier difficulty. But once you hit the 25-30 level mark, you become the Tenth Divine.
Also you can get really op gear in beginning if you enter appropriate console commands. That's it folks, You call it console command I call it instant Chim We're not the same
I absolutly love playing Oblivion on max difficulty, the only viable build besides conjuration is destruction mage (with almost all other schools obviously) stacking buffs on PC and debuffs on NPC. The most challenging and interesting part is to join Mages Guild (no, I avoid Wizard Tower DLC). That said, at 4:00 I started to laugh loud in voice before it even happened :DDDDD
100% difficulty in Oblivion is just a simulation of what it's like to be Todd Howard in real life.

Micky's impression of Morrowind and Oblivion NPCs is spot on.
so true
The fun thing about max difficulty in Oblivion is that, thanks to level scaling, you know it'll never get any better. It's Sisyphus the whole way.
One must like BDSM to play oblivion at max difficulty

A fantastic example of a video with an accurate title that is in no way clickbait. Well done Micky.
With the thumbnail and the opening, I thought this was a Wilburger video until Micky started talking.
I literally cried laughing at this. Thank you, Micky!

The only viable method of combat in 100% difficulty Oblivion is Conjuration bc your summons are not affected by the difficulty.
its the other way around, they are affected by the difficulty so they do a lot more damage
@@ABIGD0G Well, but enemies are also a lot tankier, so it all negates each other and they do normal damage as a result
@@donilock1930 enemies are not a lot tankier, you as a player just deal a lot less damage to everything
@@ABIGD0G That's the thing: the slider only affects the player. The monsters should still do the same damage to each other, so summons don't really become better
@@donilock1930 yes thats what im saying, but summons become a lot better since they also get upscaled by the difficulty slider

What I discovered is Aylied ruins where made for parkour.
Love you Micky D thank you for making me download morrowind for my phone and spend 6 hours modding it just to play for 15 minutes

100 difficulty is straight up torture

Max difficulty is actually really easy if you just enable god mode and just use kill command.

Also you can get really op gear in beginning if you enter appropriate console commands.
