Love Oblivions jank, the Highwayman was more upset that A Bard's Ballad had committed a crime after becoming one of the Knights of the nine that he didn't mug him, a highwayman took the time to stop mugging and murdering people for a day just to tell you that you aren't cool because you committed a crime and did a bad thing.

Pretty much anyone that seeks powerful or hidden knowledge, does his bidding whether consciously or not. Knowledge is power, and ambition leads to power. And in skyrim, you can even see cabbage merchants having some sort of goal of control and expansion. It seems like tamriel is littered with an abundance of ambition. 😅
Because he knows that everyone does. You don't visit his shrine to oppose him. You go there to get something. Usually knowledge or power. And knowledge is power. So it' obvious that everyone who comes before him will do his bidding to gain knowedge. He would absolutely be the god of learning. Not teaching, but learning.
One thing I learned while playing the game is that, if you've completed the Thieves' Guild quest line, some bandits and highwaymen will not be aggressive anymore and even try to be your pal. That's even when you aren't wearing the mask.
Oblivion my first love a game I never truly explored because I got it the summer of 2011. Watching videos like this make me wanna play through again and actually explore better.
Always enjoy seeing you upload! As someone obsessed with player housing in Bethesda games, I think a series covering all the houses from the base game and its DLC would be awesome to see. The various quests, lore, and upgrades. Keep up the great work!
This was the only quest I could not get, looked all over online back in 2010 but couldn’t find out how to start it, now it’s 14 years later and I finally got a answer lmao
I never get to this quest, because it would require me to complete the Clavicus Vile quest. Doing so would either cost me Umbra, or cause Umbra to weigh more than the 0 pounds it weighs while the quest is active.
@@ABardsBallad It's actually rather OP in Arena. It gives you 50 points to boost your attributes at you own choosing. But there is an interesting twist. Arena limits the player to only one Artifact such as Lords Mail, Auriels Bow etc. per playthrough (without bug exploits). But because the Oghma disappears after using it, it actually returns the pool of artifacts and you can look for it again and again until you have 100 in all attributes and the cherry on top is after all that, with the Oghma gone again, you can then go find another artifact for your "One Artifact" for the rest of the game.
I always used to do this quest with killing bandits in Camps and marauders outside and inside of certain Forts/Ayleid ruins. I believe all races are divided 50/50 for Bandits and Marauders. Bandit - Wood Elf, Dark Elf, Redguard, Breton (Wizard), Khajiit Marauder - High Elf (Wizard), Imperial, Nord, Orc, Argonian Also I never met Casta Flavus. I always had that shrine already found beforehand, so Casta didn't spawn for me ever. I, for some reason, always remembered its destination, probably back from long ago when I used to watch my brother play this game. So Casta Flavus is something new for me and that is nice to find something new about this game!
I know I've said this before relatively recently Bard but I really appreciate your vids, always calming for me regardless what I'm going through that day.
love the videos you put out.. they've gotten me to the cusp of inspiration.. close to getting back in to making videos for a couple of different channels i have good game stuff you do here
Stopped the video at 3:40 to point out they used a Protoss VO from StarCraft. Picked it up instantly, sounds like either a Zealot, or possibly Protoss Advisor, but yeah ....HM is a Prot bro, FOR AUIR!!
I like how he's supposed to look like this unknowable abstract lovecraftian monstrosity so hideous and overwhelmingly huge that merely looking upon his true form would kill you, but when he speaks he just sounds like a fat kid putting on his best monster voice to try and scare a younger sibling.
Ok, imagine though. You're living the bandit life, stealing petty cash from travelers. You see a rich target, and then your soul is being used to tell a horoscope.
The real answer to why I say ‘We’ actually is for the style of narrative I try to use! It’s used to help the listener feel more included in the whole storytelling and gameplay process! Hope that helps!

As a long-time UESP staffer (like even before Oblivion was released), the number of times you reference us delights the shit out of me.
I’m very thankful for your unending encyclopedia over there! It’s practically the bread and butter of a lot my of my content!

UESP is so helpful and fun to read. All of you are worth of Heaven.
@@Geral454 nah UESP bois go straight to Apocrypha when they die.
I love how Mora just assumes that everyone serves him; it sets him apart from other characters, and gives him smugness. Good character traits imo.

😂 Mora definitely has the smug intelligent personality down

If I lived in Tamriel, I would serve Lord Mora proudly.
Not me waiting for the compilation of these videos so I can watch them all for a third time 😂
Haha I love it! It’s coming soon! I really appreciate the support my friend! :)
A daedric quest compilation would be awesome
One thing I learned while playing the game is that, if you've completed the Thieves' Guild quest line, some bandits and highwaymen will not be aggressive anymore and even try to be your pal. That's even when you aren't wearing the mask.
Played this game for so many years and never once did this quest, I’ll be sure to do it in my current play through, thanks bard great video!
I appreciate it! It was my first time playing it too! A very fun quest!
Oblivion my first love a game I never truly explored because I got it the summer of 2011. Watching videos like this make me wanna play through again and actually explore better.
Bard always drops at the opportune moment. Keep shining knight
I appreciate it my friend! :) I hope you enjoy this one!
I very much did
I wasn't aware that Hermaeus Mora's Daedric Quest in "Oblivion" is nearly identical to the one found in "Skyrim".
Always enjoy seeing you upload! As someone obsessed with player housing in Bethesda games, I think a series covering all the houses from the base game and its DLC would be awesome to see. The various quests, lore, and upgrades. Keep up the great work!
I really appreciate the support! That sounds like a really neat idea! I’ll have to look into it! :)
Yayyyy something to listen to while I clean my room
I hope you enjoy it! :)
Same
it is heavily implied u become sheogorath so interesting how he said your true path as if hes aware what the player is
glad you did this last quest of the Daedric Shrine Quests.
Me too! Crazy how it’s all wrapped up! Time for the master video!
That book is worth all the work!
It 100% is! Very nice to have late game!
This was the only quest I could not get, looked all over online back in 2010 but couldn’t find out how to start it, now it’s 14 years later and I finally got a answer lmao

Very fair! It’s definitely a trade off for Umbra and the Infinium!
Commenting to support engagement!! Your videos are so awesome. I watch them over and over. Thanks!! ^^
I really appreciate the continued support! :)
God old Herma Mora, always in the know.
7:40 my guy just strolled up to make you feel bad with those words, he had no need to fight
😂 instead of robbing us, he knew those words would cut deeper
Now even the highwaymen are giving us knights of the nine low rep dialogue 😂😭
😂 for real! No more fighting for them, just shaming our character lol
7:35 He's so disappointed with you that he didn't even feel like attacking you. Truly a fall from grace...
The sight of an Oblivion gate is always quite shocking, especially seeing one next to Vilverin where you start the game!
The Oghma Infinium was also an item in Elder Scrolls 1: Arena but it wasn't a relic of Hermaeus Mora since he hadn't been crated at that point.
Ahh interesting I didn’t know that! Cheers! :)

Wes Johnson really upgraded his voice acting for Herma Mora in Skyrim than he did Oblivion XD
👀 Herma Mora was always the most unique among them anyways, just makes sense the devs saved the best for last. Keep up the great work my man 😎
He definitely is! I really appreciate the support! :)
@@ABardsBallad I, and many others, appreciate the high quality content man. Brings back many memories 🤝. You have a fantastic day bro

Very true! I do believe you’re right that it’s a 50/50! I found Flavus very interesting! I don’t think we see him again at all for anything else!
Fantastic as always 👏 😉☺️👍! Looking forward to the completed play through.
I know I've said this before relatively recently Bard but I really appreciate your vids, always calming for me regardless what I'm going through that day.

good game stuff you do here
I really appreciate the support! I recommend doing it my friend! It’s very fulfilling!
Love your vids!
I appreciate the support! :)
Babe wake up A Bard’s Ballad uploaded! 🎉
Ayyy I appreciate it the support my friend! :)
The Wave Unsurfable!
Lmfao
I don't think I can play this game at this point, I will get a mega intense wave of nostalgia and so so many memories.
the door unopenable, the book unreadable .... does that mean he's the prince of chronic obstipation too 🤔
😂 he definitely could be!
bard’s ballad my beloved
I hope you enjoy it my friend! :)
That name is fun to say: Casta Flavus....Casta Flavus
😂 I really enjoyed saying it too tbh!
Speaking of the Infinium in Skyrim, does anyone think that Mora would be mad or amused by the glitch that allows the player to duplicate copies?
My my, what a clever mortal ... this one has managed to manipulate the facilities and fabrics of their known reality!
I bet he’d love the forbidden knowledge aspect of it 👀
Stopped the video at 3:40 to point out they used a Protoss VO from StarCraft. Picked it up instantly, sounds like either a Zealot, or possibly Protoss Advisor, but yeah ....HM is a Prot bro, FOR AUIR!!
I nevwr ended up finishing oblivion but its weird to see the difference between oblivion Herma Mora and Skyrims Herma Mora
I like that this Hermaeus talks faster, but he sounds like his tongue is swollen, and I can't take it seriously-
I don’t think I’ve ever used the book, in any game at all. I’m always double guessing myself as to what I want to put the points towards.
I like how he's supposed to look like this unknowable abstract lovecraftian monstrosity so hideous and overwhelmingly huge that merely looking upon his true form would kill you, but when he speaks he just sounds like a fat kid putting on his best monster voice to try and scare a younger sibling.
OMG I never found this shrine/quest! Let me pause and get my popcorn.
yayyy
I hope you enjoy it!
I wonder if a Knight of Order would actually work for this quest.
7:10 This game is so goddamn stupid, I love it so much.
Ok, imagine though. You're living the bandit life, stealing petty cash from travelers. You see a rich target, and then your soul is being used to tell a horoscope.
I woulda just took the free 3 souls of 3 different races thats right by that statue lol. Or does that soft lock?
I have never done this quest before, why is he so hard to understand though?
i believe ive never actually seen this quest, i kinda dont wanna watch it so i can experience it myself...
Won'tWon'tthis quest set the stage for Skyrim's more dynamic daedric quests
I use to think you were a hero. A holy knight and all that. I guess I should have known better.
This would be a good video if he would QUIT TALKING. How can any one human talk this much????
Lmao my bad bro, I’ll just upload the 2 hour raw video for you to sift through instead
@@ABardsBallad sweet
Top vid again bro
I appreciate it! :)
Who is "we"? You keep saying that. It's a little odd.
Why is we odd?
@@ABardsBallad It implies there is someone other than you playing, is there?!
🤔🤔🤔 maybe? Maybe not? 👀
The real answer to why I say ‘We’ actually is for the style of narrative I try to use! It’s used to help the listener feel more included in the whole storytelling and gameplay process! Hope that helps!
First
Awesome!
