Some people have brought up that quest items shouldn't count as they are needed to progress. I understand that, and it is nice how many of you are dead set on finding loop holes for me to beat the run, but the fact is I have been using this same ruleset for all of the birthday runs. It was possible to beat Fallout 3 & New Vegas under these conditions. It would be kind of cheap to adjust the rules now just so I could say I beat Oblivion.
It's not related to the video, but have you tried anything like, "Fallout 4 but I clear every location." You could just do base game, but it would involve you discovering every location and clearing every place you can and doing as many quests you see fit.
Screw the snobby bitches, they’re all probably Kamala supporters any way… I just love watching my favorite games played through and condensed into an hour or so video. I’d probably even prefer just playing the game any way you want and use all the cool stuff the game offers… I’m definitely not here for the “challenges” lol
You rarely ever use the items in the couriers stash oftern saying that they are over powered. With that in mind “Can you beat fallout new vegas using only the courier's stash?” You can only use: * Armored Vault 13 jumpsuit * Lightweight leather armor * Lightweight metal armor * Tribal raiding armor * Weathered 10mm pistol * x50 10mm rounds * Sturdy caravan shotgun * x40 20 gauge shotgun shells * Mercenary's grenade rifle * x20 40mm grenades * Broad machete * Five bleak venoms * x10 throwing spears * Four weapon repair kits * Five stimpaks * Three super stimpaks * Three doctor's bags * Binoculars * Vault 13 canteen I would argue that the challenge in this is that you can not use any caps to repair and you can’t replace anything you use up.
Im seeing a melee-centric build. The thing that concerns me is that even though the Canteen can heal you, it heals automatically, and at intervals, so there isnt a good way to heal. Those Stims are a lifeline for that challenge, so getting medicine as high as possible will be necessary, to make best use of them. The Broad Machete being the only real weapon you'll get to keep for that run. The only saving grace is being able to drop weapons when you're out of ammo, and drop armor (which wouldnt be a major concern anyway, with having 4 different sets), but if you cant replace what you use up, cant use caps to repair, that means money is more-or-less worthless, and if you cant use anything that isnt from the stash, this run is very limited. I suppose however, it is possible. He DID beat the game without having EVER restored his health.
Nerbit I have figured out a way to make a “Can you beat fallout 4 while being chased by” video: Bullet, the gunner who wants to buy Billy in kid in the fridge, all you have to do is start kid in the fridge and get Billy to follow you, then walk towards Bullet until you can see him in vats or eyesight, he will follow you to the ends of the earth

IIRC, he doesnt expect to survive anyway, but his survival isnt required. You just need to get the book. The GOOD part though, if you make sure he survives, he can be found at the battle of Bruma and the Great Oblivion Gate, and he isnt BAD in combat either.
“Here you go little guy.. these are for when people need to be quiet.” Doctor just pops a pair of little fists onto baby Nerbits arms like an action figure with detachable hands… lol (Swaps out for some open hands) “These ones are for when you need to smack a bitch… they’re also good for carrying plates, high fives, waving… that sort of thing. Come back in 12-13 years and we’ll get you fitted for a pair of fists with just the middle finger extended… those are for non-verbal communication, you’ll learn about that later though.”
4:37 fun fact! According to the emperor's monologue in the intro, the game begins on the 27th of last seed. If your character's birthday was the 27th of last seed, they would, in fact, have the warrior birthsign which you chose!
I just thought of something for the eventual Skyrim run. Since monetary rewards can only be used for services, it should be okay to get one of the hireling followers. You are literally paying for their service as warrior/bodyguard/loot carrying donkey. Also, since the title of Thane is a reward, and includes the guards looking the other way for a crime once, that one free crime could be considered part of the reward. So birthday Nerbit could be allowed to break the "only gifts and rewards" rule once per hold, considering it is part of a reward.

Can you do that thing with the armor too. If it degrades can I use a repair hammer and then wait. That way you can have daedric armor early? Or if you have 100 armorer you can repair it to 125 hp

You could also roleplay as you in the game without any future knowledge but that might not be as much fun for you and also people watching so you should decide on that. It also might not let you slaughter the omertas but I think you should do it either way for a new vegas run.
"That is until i suffocat him on a nearby plate of muffins" _swing_ *DUAH--* My god the cut on that was PERFECT. Also +1 for Sole Survivor joke as well. Edit: Muffin Suffocation Timestamp: 26:09
Oblivion always has a special place in my heart. I've been loving the content lately, and I hope you branch into other games like cyberpunk challenges!
Happy birthday Nerbit. At 29:25 you said you couldn’t pick up a dead drop but that dead drop was meant for you and there for is a gift for you to pick up and read as you see fit. The tutorial forces you to do things in a linear drip fed fashion so I feel shouldn’t be a failure of the run in any way shape or form unless the tutorial is really super flexible and offers different paths that don’t railroad you into a action you can’t do to progress like picking up a key on a body that is for a locked door that is your only way to go. Plus I feel others are with me in saying the game doesn’t truly start til after the tutorial section ends. Picking up the sigil key though sadly did break the run.
If you have an Xbox Series, the Oblivion 4K enhancement turned out really good. Unless you’re gonna mod, in which case you’re probably better off on pc. Oblivion kinda sucks on steam deck.
wow I did that for the entire bound set and then got the mannequin mod and placed it on one of 'em as a trophy display, in Frostcrag Tower at the entrance. :)
Here is another interesting one: The Mythic Dawn door guard in Dagon's shrine that takes your equipment only takes what is in your inventory. So you could just drop your stuff on the ground, proceed the dialogue with him, and then pick the things back up. (Another option is bringing a follower, killing them, and using their body as container. Or having a bandit or a troll from the nearby camp follow you into the cave.) Oh, and from that point on during the remainder of that quest, the player is added to the Mythic Dawn faction. Which means you can hear your character shout out Mythic Dawn combat barks. And once you pick up the Mysterium Xarxes' their faction's disposition towards the player goes down and they will attack on sight. Even those that are disguised as ordinary citizens.
21:07 Well, it's not like I can argue that you WEREN'T the intended recipient of those arrows. Yeah, they are even freely given with no expectation of reciprocation. Quite the violent gift.
That is actually an interesting legal situation. I vaguely remember of a case of someone being shot and the shooter going to court to get the bullet back, but the victim claimed that the bullet was given to them with no intention of return.
11:48 Jayred ice-veins gives you a single lockpick if you agree to help him defeat the gatekeeper. He makes a really big deal of it too, it always sticks out in my mind
Love the Fable music in the background. Soothing as always, and perfectly balanced with the proper game audio and your commentary. Great job with this one, can't wait for the next!
Fun run for NV: Can you beat NV as the Terminator? Rules: - Only use the M79 grenade launcher and minigun - The terminator is a robot afterall so try and use VATS more often (not required just more in character) - Either biker outfit or something resembling a robot as an outfit for the movie's sake - Do any kill contracts you come across for maximum termination Story (2 ways) - If you so choose, you can side with Mr. House for a "Skynet"ish playthrough as he is operating a bunch of robots through a computer. HOWEVER, if you do this, YOU MUST terminate EVERYONE that is against SKYNET(Mr. House) for total machine victory - OR pick a companion to take with you and you must protect them at all times (If they die the run fails). You must further the faction of your companion as much as possible since you are essentially the bodyguard of your companion (again, T2 story with John and the terminator protecting/serving under him with no questions asked). Who you pick is up to you but once you settle on a choice you are locked into that companion.
You forgot the lever action shotgun that the Terminator literally made famous with his flip cocking. Granted you don't do it in game but that would be an incredibly easy fix with a mod if you wanted full immersion.
Skyrim is my favorite ES game to play, but I think people like me (especially those interested in ES challenge videos) have seen so much Skyrim that other games are more exciting to watch
That's pretty much why I had voted for Oblivion on the poll. Seen a lot of Skyrim recently (and even started a new playthrough myself) that some change of scenery is nice. And Oblivion can always surprise with it's weirdness.
Tbh Nerbit, I voted for Oblivion because we all know you like the game a lot, presumably more than Skyrim, and birthdays are about having fun. Cheers mate, happy birth!
or the free ones from Armand Cristophe by starting the Thieves Guild questline with no gold or lockpicks in your inventory he'll give you 5 for free. You can then store the lockpicks somewhere and get 5 over and over that way.
The failure at 33:43 does have a work around!! The quest only needs you to *read* the book to progress, and there's at least one in the Imperial City.* Happy (late) birthday, Nerbit!! Thanks for sharing it with us again!! *Source: AlleeCatTwos' "Beating Oblivion with 0 Weight" run.
You could add a rule: borrowing items is ok as long as the item is returned as soon as possible, and you can't borrow equipment. That way you can borrow a key, then drop it where you found it, same for documents, and you can't borrow potions because once used, they can't be returned.
Very good point. And if it's something like a lockpick that happens to break, you'd have to return either an item in kind, or money with the value of the lost item. Plus some extra for the trouble.
Your character you made for this run is the funniest I think I've ever seen for Oblivion. It's so easy to just make some monstrosity, but the simplicity of just a squished head had me giggling.
I think that otherwise unpassable obstacles are fine to "cheat" on, since obviously the game sees things like keys as misc items, and if it expects the player to engage with that system then it should be more than okay to consider keys as part of the rules in these situations.
I tend to think the same whenever I do challenge runs like this. (Final fantasy VI using only the attack command fails on multiple occasions, for example)
Pork chop is always the champion is my heart. Who dun it, best quest in the game. Honestly, I’m just so happy you played oblivion. Happy birthday good sir!
Fun fact: according to the lore, someone born in October (Frost Fall) would be under the sign of the tower, so you should have been able to unlock any average door you wanted
I'm really happy I found your channel, it helps fill a void that was left when Paul passed away. I've been pretty much just been watching your videos for a few weeks and I think I've gone through nearly every video from the past 2 years. Keep on making the wonderful content! Plus, I'm enjoying still trying to discern which county your accent is from
Greetings, fellow MittenSquad fan! I went to his memorial service earlier this year. His family were astonished by so many complete strangers showing up to pay their respects. His mom had a special shirt made that read, "Grandma Sparkles killed Mitten Squad"...with holographic lettering, even. Also: I believe he mentions in a previous video that he's from Northern Ireland.
@MishraArtificer Heh, I'm glad so many people were there to give their respects, plus his Mum sounds like she has a nice sense of humour 😄 Oh and I know he's from N.I, though I'm trying to discern which county in N.I his accent is from, since it sounds really familiar. Think of counties like states in America, only much smaller
Can you beat fallout NV as a lobotomite? Rules are: must wear goggles and smock for armor, can use any weapons they carry in OWB, special stats idk, definitely must have 1 intelligence at least. Side with yes man and screw as much of the plan he wants you to do (blow up the fort, ally BOS, etc). Also happy birthday as always
I had a bit of a "so far. So good" moment in Skyrim recently. I was having a jolly good time in riften, got caught picking the stall locks. So I just ran, make it future me's problem. Run to Whiterun for that kill your first dragon quest so I can gather flowers, and misc ingredients along the way. One riften guard followed me without getting distracted or killed all the way to Whiterun, let me do all the talking up to meeting the dragon, and then he got confused and got stuck in the guard tower while I hid in there and waited for the guards to kill the dragon with "must have been the wind" "what was that?" "Must have been the wind" dude gets clipped by fire and bitches for a bit, then "must have been the wind. DUDE, there's literally a dragon right outside, it was not just the wind
Happy birthday, Nerbit I know you get challenge run ideas A LOT and they take a bit but I would love to see a Mitten Squad run for New Vegas I don't know how you would do it but just something that would put a smile on his face if he saw it himself, sometimes during December in honor of him ❤
It would be nice to see, but MittenSquad has some absurdly difficult runs. The fact that he could complete most of his challenges proves he was a superhuman.
I don't really know what it is, but your videos are just so cozy. I'm kind of reminded of just a pal explaining some insane shit he got up to in a video game, and they make for very pleasant listening experiences. Happy birthday, and thank you :)
There's been an idea bouncing around in my head for a while, and I'm not sure how well it would work, especially for a video format, but I reckon I should suggest it anyway: "Can you beat Fallout New Vegas, as Yes Man" Instead of a gear restricted run, it would moreso be a decision restricted run. In essence, you must say yes to everything. You'd need to agree to anything someone asks of you, even if it contradicts something that the person right before asked from you. You can't lie to someone, can't ask questions, and can't suggest different courses of actions. Someone asks you to do something, and you have to say yes whenever possible, and carry out tasks to the letter as much as you can, until someone else asks you something, in which case you have to drop everything and do what they ask of you instead. When you finish that task, you'll be free to go back to completing the previous task, if that's still possible. This means that going on gambling breaks or shopping sprees will be almost impossible, unless someone asks the courier to do so.
Mass Effect run: The Love and Death of Abraham Lincoln. mod ME3 to make Shep to look vaguely presidential, then flirt with your bodyguard (Kaiden Alenko) and a man in uniform (Steve Cortez) at every opportunity. Pick one of them I guess, and then die bringing freedom to every organic being in the galaxy.
Happy birthday! This was really cool, It's always great to see more Oblivion and more even just a bit more of the guild quests. (each guild questline is so much better than the MQ in both Oblivion and Skyrim)
Can you beat Skyrim as Pelinal Whitestrake reincarnated? Be an imperial or nord, use the crusader gear, side with the Empire and kill any elf (particularly any high elves) that have the misfortune to fall under your gaze, using little to no stealth as he was a zealous barbarian type. Do any quests that support humans and the Empire as a whole. Use your judgement if Whitestrake would do any of the stormcloak/blades quests but make sure that the Empire he helped defend from the filthy elves stays in power.
Would the College of Winterhold questline be done as well? You replace the Arch Mage (an elf) and the story line concludes with you slaying an elf. I think it works pretty well
@@dogdog357 For the elf death-tally, yes! But I don't think Archmage Whitestrake would last long. Seems rather out of character (for the character) lol
Happy Birthday Nerbit! Your videos have been helping me to relax while working, and seeing a new Oblivion challenge from you and one so long is a special treat! Looking forward to the Fable video whenever the time comes! Hope you are having a great day, wishing you all the best! Stay safe!
Speaking of Fable challenges how about an inverse of your no exp run where you have to spend absolutely zero money and have to rely entirely on skill upgrades and just to make things fair restricted use for unique weapons like the bow of skorm. However the Harbinger is free to use considering you need to upgrade certain stats to grab it so it obviously makes sense to use Ps. You can even role play that ever since the protagonist spent 3 gold on the chocolate for his sister’s birthday he considers and any kind of financial transaction a curse and that’s why he doesn’t spend money
Hey Nerbit got an idea for a fallout 4 run, “Can you beat fallout 4 with only power armour?” Rules - Must get power armour as soon as you’re out of vault 111. - No weapons, must use fists, pain train, or dropping on enemies to damage them. - Must keep power armour powered with a fusion core at all times. Also not mandatory but for another challenge you could always make sure to have a fully equipped power armour at all times too, love the videos man your new content is always a highlight of my day!!
If you think this run failed quickly, you're in for a surprise when you do this challenge in Fable. Good luck getting chocolates for Thresa without buying them from the trader.
I love the logic that getting hit with countless arrows from NPCs is them gifting it to you lmao. Also I was wondering for a while in the beginning if you were gonna go pick up the weak fireball spell from the skingrad mages guild since it's given to you for free, at level 1 that spell is pretty much gonna kill anything in a couple shots.
That is actually a real legal question. If you get shot, can you keep the bullet or does the shooter get them back? In a way they deliberately abandoned their claim when they "gave" you the bullet.
Happy birthday Nerbit! You make the best Bethesda challenge run videos, and you are one of my major inspirations for making my own Skyrim challenge video channel. I just hope I can be as awesome as you someday!
In Elder Scrolls and Fallout most of the game requires you grab essential quest items off bodies or tables or out of containers. So no, you cannot beat any of them with just gifts.
I have an idea for you why don’t you play as Colonel autumn from fallout free in fallout four because they added the new next gen update and added Enclave Colonel uniform And here is the special states S:5 P:6 E:6 C:5 I:5 A:7 L:5 And I think he wouldn’t side with the railroad or brother hood. So you could choose the Minutemen or of the Institute
You could technically take the stuff out of jauffre's chest as he does say "Help yourself to whatever you need". So in a way, he is gifting you the contents.
Can you beat New Vegas as Jim Carrey? Any weapon, clothes or armor he’s used in any movie or real life, quests that seem like he’d do, Yes Man ending, must always say yes, low iq (for dumb and dumber) no injections, or syringes, animal friend perk (ace ventura), and do Old World Blues (seems very Jim Carrey), allowed ED-E and Lily (seems Jim Carrey) or Raul. No lying (liar liar) and must use robots whenever possible (Eggman)
I have a challenge idea: can you beat Oblivion only using spells from Edgar's discount spells... you dont wanna win with the best, you want cheap! And he's got cheap
Hey Nerbit, happy belated birthday! Loved the run, and I hope there will be way more Oblivion videos in the future, it's (relatively) fresh, and it seems like there could be a lot of potential for unusual restricted runs. Take care!
Just redownloaded Skyrim. It’s exactly what I needed in my life. Thank you for the content. I love you style, your honesty, your cadence, it’s been great. The fallout series got me stoked enough to play through 3 and new Vegas but I couldn’t bear f4 for very long. I’ve never played oblivion. Guess that’s next!
Some people have brought up that quest items shouldn't count as they are needed to progress.
I understand that, and it is nice how many of you are dead set on finding loop holes for me to beat the run, but the fact is I have been using this same ruleset for all of the birthday runs.

10:00 See Nerbit, you've always been connected to Lincoln even if you didn't know it.
"That is until i suffocat him on a nearby plate of muffins"
_swing_ *DUAH--*
My god the cut on that was PERFECT. Also +1 for Sole Survivor joke as well.
Edit:
Muffin Suffocation Timestamp: 26:09
I almost laughed out loud at work.
Oblivion create the best memes without even needing editing, it’s so perfect
Oblivion always has a special place in my heart. I've been loving the content lately, and I hope you branch into other games like cyberpunk challenges!
Happy birthday Nerbit. At 29:25 you said you couldn’t pick up a dead drop but that dead drop was meant for you and there for is a gift for you to pick up and read as you see fit.
The tutorial forces you to do things in a linear drip fed fashion so I feel shouldn’t be a failure of the run in any way shape or form unless the tutorial is really super flexible and offers different paths that don’t railroad you into a action you can’t do to progress like picking up a key on a body that is for a locked door that is your only way to go. Plus I feel others are with me in saying the game doesn’t truly start til after the tutorial section ends.
Picking up the sigil key though sadly did break the run.
Just refreshed my feed and it had been 5 seconds since upload. Love these videos nerbit, been craving an oblivion video from you! Happy birthday!
21:00 I'm cackling. It's the "this is mine now" meme personified, and I fully support it. Happy birthday, Nerbit.
"Suffocate him with a nearby plate of muffins" is a golden line. Someone meme this please!
Using only arrows you got shot with feels like a statement
Never heard of that bound weapon trick. That's hilarious, I might reinstall Oblivion to try that out.
If you have an Xbox Series, the Oblivion 4K enhancement turned out really good. Unless you’re gonna mod, in which case you’re probably better off on pc. Oblivion kinda sucks on steam deck.
wow I did that for the entire bound set and then got the mannequin mod and placed it on one of 'em as a trophy display, in Frostcrag Tower at the entrance. :)
Here is another interesting one:
The Mythic Dawn door guard in Dagon's shrine that takes your equipment only takes what is in your inventory.
So you could just drop your stuff on the ground, proceed the dialogue with him, and then pick the things back up.
(Another option is bringing a follower, killing them, and using their body as container. Or having a bandit or a troll from the nearby camp follow you into the cave.)
Oh, and from that point on during the remainder of that quest, the player is added to the Mythic Dawn faction.
Which means you can hear your character shout out Mythic Dawn combat barks.
And once you pick up the Mysterium Xarxes' their faction's disposition towards the player goes down and they will attack on sight. Even those that are disguised as ordinary citizens.
21:07 Well, it's not like I can argue that you WEREN'T the intended recipient of those arrows. Yeah, they are even freely given with no expectation of reciprocation. Quite the violent gift.
That is actually an interesting legal situation.
I vaguely remember of a case of someone being shot and the shooter going to court to get the bullet back, but the victim claimed that the bullet was given to them with no intention of return.
Splat over here looking like Earthworm Jim.
Groovy
11:48 Jayred ice-veins gives you a single lockpick if you agree to help him defeat the gatekeeper. He makes a really big deal of it too, it always sticks out in my mind
Happy Birthday, man! Had a shitty day so was so happy to see this pop up. Your shit always helps :)
I didn’t make this video, but thank you for wishing me a happy birthday
"So far, so good."
So much emotion, so beautiful!
Happy birthday Nerbit, have been watching your videos a shit ton lately, don't know why but they're addictive, keep up the good work and take it easy.
That’s not my name, but thank you for wishing me a happy birthday dude
Yes
Love the Fable music in the background. Soothing as always, and perfectly balanced with the proper game audio and your commentary.
Great job with this one, can't wait for the next!
Fun run for NV: Can you beat NV as the Terminator?
Rules:
- Only use the M79 grenade launcher and minigun
- The terminator is a robot afterall so try and use VATS more often (not required just more in character)
- Either biker outfit or something resembling a robot as an outfit for the movie's sake
- Do any kill contracts you come across for maximum termination
Story (2 ways)
- If you so choose, you can side with Mr. House for a "Skynet"ish playthrough as he is operating a bunch of robots through a computer. HOWEVER, if you do this, YOU MUST terminate EVERYONE that is against SKYNET(Mr. House) for total machine victory
- OR pick a companion to take with you and you must protect them at all times (If they die the run fails). You must further the faction of your companion as much as possible since you are essentially the bodyguard of your companion (again, T2 story with John and the terminator protecting/serving under him with no questions asked). Who you pick is up to you but once you settle on a choice you are locked into that companion.
You forgot the lever action shotgun that the Terminator literally made famous with his flip cocking. Granted you don't do it in game but that would be an incredibly easy fix with a mod if you wanted full immersion.
@@noelleholiday61 Weve seen him use shotguns before I just wanted to make it a tab different/little more difficult is all.
@@HEATSEEKR we've seen him use them only a couple times and never the lever action
Skyrim is my favorite ES game to play, but I think people like me (especially those interested in ES challenge videos) have seen so much Skyrim that other games are more exciting to watch
That's pretty much why I had voted for Oblivion on the poll. Seen a lot of Skyrim recently (and even started a new playthrough myself) that some change of scenery is nice.
And Oblivion can always surprise with it's weirdness.
Tbh Nerbit, I voted for Oblivion because we all know you like the game a lot, presumably more than Skyrim, and birthdays are about having fun. Cheers mate, happy birth!
I vote that you should’ve been able to continue the dark brotherhood storyline because that note was left there specifically for you, like a reward.
11:50 You could have gotten the free open lock spell from the mages guild
He should get it for free if he starts as a character with Alteration as a major skill selected
or the free ones from Armand Cristophe by starting the Thieves Guild questline with no gold or lockpicks in your inventory he'll give you 5 for free. You can then store the lockpicks somewhere and get 5 over and over that way.
@@TrinityArt373 I wanted to shout this out that yes you can get some free lockpicks. :)
The failure at 33:43 does have a work around!! The quest only needs you to *read* the book to progress, and there's at least one in the Imperial City.*
Happy (late) birthday, Nerbit!! Thanks for sharing it with us again!!
*Source: AlleeCatTwos' "Beating Oblivion with 0 Weight" run.
You could add a rule: borrowing items is ok as long as the item is returned as soon as possible, and you can't borrow equipment. That way you can borrow a key, then drop it where you found it, same for documents, and you can't borrow potions because once used, they can't be returned.
Very good point.
And if it's something like a lockpick that happens to break, you'd have to return either an item in kind, or money with the value of the lost item. Plus some extra for the trouble.
Your character you made for this run is the funniest I think I've ever seen for Oblivion. It's so easy to just make some monstrosity, but the simplicity of just a squished head had me giggling.
I think that otherwise unpassable obstacles are fine to "cheat" on, since obviously the game sees things like keys as misc items, and if it expects the player to engage with that system then it should be more than okay to consider keys as part of the rules in these situations.
Arbitrary rules are set in stone, as far as Nerbit is concerned😂.
I tend to think the same whenever I do challenge runs like this. (Final fantasy VI using only the attack command fails on multiple occasions, for example)
Especially the key to leave the tutorial area. You can't be tutored on the mechanic if the situation isn't presented.
Pork chop is always the champion is my heart.
Who dun it, best quest in the game.
Honestly, I’m just so happy you played oblivion.
Happy birthday good sir!
The arrow explanation is valid. They were forcefully gifted to you after all.
"so far, so good"
no more beautiful words have ever been spoken
I cried when i heard him say
"So far ,so good"
44:12 kitty chirping audible alert
LMFAO i had to replay that part 3 times to catch ts my deaf ass
Fun fact: according to the lore, someone born in October (Frost Fall) would be under the sign of the tower, so you should have been able to unlock any average door you wanted
5:16 a new hole to not breathe out of, actually
if the whole is right, Emperor Picard could do it like a bird and cycle air through the lungs in one direction only.
I'm really happy I found your channel, it helps fill a void that was left when Paul passed away. I've been pretty much just been watching your videos for a few weeks and I think I've gone through nearly every video from the past 2 years. Keep on making the wonderful content!
Plus, I'm enjoying still trying to discern which county your accent is from
Greetings, fellow MittenSquad fan! I went to his memorial service earlier this year. His family were astonished by so many complete strangers showing up to pay their respects. His mom had a special shirt made that read, "Grandma Sparkles killed Mitten Squad"...with holographic lettering, even.
Also: I believe he mentions in a previous video that he's from Northern Ireland.
@MishraArtificer Heh, I'm glad so many people were there to give their respects, plus his Mum sounds like she has a nice sense of humour 😄
Oh and I know he's from N.I, though I'm trying to discern which county in N.I his accent is from, since it sounds really familiar. Think of counties like states in America, only much smaller
@@GabedalfTheWhite OH! I misread it as "country" instead of "county". Oops!
Local escaped convict takes advantage of peoples kindness to destroy a demon lord.
Can you beat fallout NV as a lobotomite? Rules are: must wear goggles and smock for armor, can use any weapons they carry in OWB, special stats idk, definitely must have 1 intelligence at least. Side with yes man and screw as much of the plan he wants you to do (blow up the fort, ally BOS, etc). Also happy birthday as always
Speaking of credit card info( 6:40 ), I have a new favorite phrase lately.
"You leak my personal info, I leak your kidneys!"
I had a bit of a "so far. So good" moment in Skyrim recently. I was having a jolly good time in riften, got caught picking the stall locks. So I just ran, make it future me's problem. Run to Whiterun for that kill your first dragon quest so I can gather flowers, and misc ingredients along the way. One riften guard followed me without getting distracted or killed all the way to Whiterun, let me do all the talking up to meeting the dragon, and then he got confused and got stuck in the guard tower while I hid in there and waited for the guards to kill the dragon with "must have been the wind" "what was that?" "Must have been the wind" dude gets clipped by fire and bitches for a bit, then "must have been the wind. DUDE, there's literally a dragon right outside, it was not just the wind
Happy birthday, Nerbit I know you get challenge run ideas A LOT and they take a bit but I would love to see a Mitten Squad run for New Vegas I don't know how you would do it but just something that would put a smile on his face if he saw it himself, sometimes during December in honor of him ❤
It would be nice to see, but MittenSquad has some absurdly difficult runs. The fact that he could complete most of his challenges proves he was a superhuman.
I don't really know what it is, but your videos are just so cozy. I'm kind of reminded of just a pal explaining some insane shit he got up to in a video game, and they make for very pleasant listening experiences. Happy birthday, and thank you :)
2:11 did someone call me?
*Eminem's "Controversy" starts playing out of nowhere*
Why do you use a war hammer and also have a face like that?
@@AdumMyers I am related to Seymour Clevarge
There's been an idea bouncing around in my head for a while, and I'm not sure how well it would work, especially for a video format, but I reckon I should suggest it anyway:
"Can you beat Fallout New Vegas, as Yes Man"
Instead of a gear restricted run, it would moreso be a decision restricted run. In essence, you must say yes to everything.
You'd need to agree to anything someone asks of you, even if it contradicts something that the person right before asked from you. You can't lie to someone, can't ask questions, and can't suggest different courses of actions. Someone asks you to do something, and you have to say yes whenever possible, and carry out tasks to the letter as much as you can, until someone else asks you something, in which case you have to drop everything and do what they ask of you instead. When you finish that task, you'll be free to go back to completing the previous task, if that's still possible. This means that going on gambling breaks or shopping sprees will be almost impossible, unless someone asks the courier to do so.
Mass Effect 1, 3 and Andromeda with only level 1 equipment. Mass Effect 2 with only starting equipment.
That doesn't seem like much of a challenge IMO
@@rufescenteagle7299 on insanity.
Yea just time consuming
@@rufescenteagle7299 on the hardest difficulty.
Mass Effect run: The Love and Death of Abraham Lincoln. mod ME3 to make Shep to look vaguely presidential, then flirt with your bodyguard (Kaiden Alenko) and a man in uniform (Steve Cortez) at every opportunity. Pick one of them I guess, and then die bringing freedom to every organic being in the galaxy.
Happy birthday! This was really cool, It's always great to see more Oblivion and more even just a bit more of the guild quests. (each guild questline is so much better than the MQ in both Oblivion and Skyrim)
Can you beat Skyrim as Pelinal Whitestrake reincarnated?
Be an imperial or nord, use the crusader gear, side with the Empire and kill any elf (particularly any high elves) that have the misfortune to fall under your gaze, using little to no stealth as he was a zealous barbarian type.
Do any quests that support humans and the Empire as a whole. Use your judgement if Whitestrake would do any of the stormcloak/blades quests but make sure that the Empire he helped defend from the filthy elves stays in power.
Would the College of Winterhold questline be done as well? You replace the Arch Mage (an elf) and the story line concludes with you slaying an elf. I think it works pretty well
@@dogdog357
For the elf death-tally, yes! But I don't think Archmage Whitestrake would last long. Seems rather out of character (for the character) lol
@@I-NINE93THREE-I Yes, but it's three less elves breathing. That's all that matters (and an optional few more if you kill the student and teachers)
I played a Nord that killed every elf and he was a stormcloak and wielded wuuthrad and wore the wolf armor (no helmet for RP)
Happy Birthday Nerbit! Your videos have been helping me to relax while working, and seeing a new Oblivion challenge from you and one so long is a special treat! Looking forward to the Fable video whenever the time comes! Hope you are having a great day, wishing you all the best! Stay safe!
>wait why cant you use tower
>emperor gives you birthsign powers AFTER the door
...oh oblivion may you never not surprise me.
Nerbit looking at the arrow sticking out of his collarbone:
“It is….a gift”
Now we wait for “can you beat fallout 4 as Optimus Prime”
I just *know* Paul would have started a run like this with some line like "I can use my fists because these hands are the hands god gave me"
i can hear it
Speaking of Fable challenges how about an inverse of your no exp run where you have to spend absolutely zero money and have to rely entirely on skill upgrades and just to make things fair restricted use for unique weapons like the bow of skorm. However the Harbinger is free to use considering you need to upgrade certain stats to grab it so it obviously makes sense to use
Ps. You can even role play that ever since the protagonist spent 3 gold on the chocolate for his sister’s birthday he considers and any kind of financial transaction a curse and that’s why he doesn’t spend money
Oblivion is my favorite thing to watch videos for!
Nice name for a class. 5:38
"Are you sure you want to be a Basic Bitch?"😂
Hey Nerbit got an idea for a fallout 4 run, “Can you beat fallout 4 with only power armour?”
Rules
- Must get power armour as soon as you’re out of vault 111.
- No weapons, must use fists, pain train, or dropping on enemies to damage them.
- Must keep power armour powered with a fusion core at all times.
Also not mandatory but for another challenge you could always make sure to have a fully equipped power armour at all times too, love the videos man your new content is always a highlight of my day!!
I can’t tell if Nells the Naughty in the vault 111 jumpsuit is amazing or cursed.
Guess i have a new fallout 4 playthrough to do.
If you think this run failed quickly, you're in for a surprise when you do this challenge in Fable. Good luck getting chocolates for Thresa without buying them from the trader.
I had absolutely no idea about the permanent bound gear thing. Ive played this game 18 years and still learning stuff.
And there's an extremely similar bug in Morrowind too! Repairing damaged bound gear can give you a permanent version that can't be repaired or dropped
Wow, great premise for a video, love the editing/humor, and I really like Oblivion as well! Great stuff here. Happy birthday!
0:21 message received 👌
Always makes me smile that your birthday is only a couple days before yours, Nerbit. Well wishes from Tipperary
26:01 Can you beat Fallout 4 as Nels the Naughty?
53:14
“Sir Scrape-and-Lick” caught me so off guard, holy shit
I love the logic that getting hit with countless arrows from NPCs is them gifting it to you lmao. Also I was wondering for a while in the beginning if you were gonna go pick up the weak fireball spell from the skingrad mages guild since it's given to you for free, at level 1 that spell is pretty much gonna kill anything in a couple shots.
That is actually a real legal question.
If you get shot, can you keep the bullet or does the shooter get them back?
In a way they deliberately abandoned their claim when they "gave" you the bullet.
Happy birthday Nerbit! You make the best Bethesda challenge run videos, and you are one of my major inspirations for making my own Skyrim challenge video channel. I just hope I can be as awesome as you someday!
splat looks like a moonfish honestly
Fallout 4 playthrough as Nels. I don't know how that would work, but the idea is funny.
Why does Vincente look like he’s wearing a mandalorian helmet made of flesh?
In Elder Scrolls and Fallout most of the game requires you grab essential quest items off bodies or tables or out of containers. So no, you cannot beat any of them with just gifts.
26:07 “Can you beat Fallout 4 as Nels the Naughty” run? 😂
I knew I wouldent be the first to think of this
Oblivion is mwah! Chefs kiss to gaming culture and history! I probably played it as much as Morrowind and both more than Skyrim by 4x.
This is the first challenge run video ive completely watched since the passing of mittensquad ❤
Happy birthday, thank you for all that you do! I hope the touch of fame you’ve earned has suited you well, you deserve it :3
I have an idea for you why don’t you play as Colonel autumn from fallout free in fallout four because they added the new next gen update and added Enclave Colonel uniform
And here is the special states
S:5
P:6
E:6
C:5
I:5
A:7
L:5
And I think he wouldn’t side with the railroad or brother hood. So you could choose the Minutemen or of the Institute
This game is such a gem and the character creations is so bad it’s good 😆
39:17 Would you not be able to hand over gold winnings from the Arena to Clavicus?
You need to be able to pick up Umbra after killing him for Clavicus Vile.
Happy birthday! Thank you for all of the entertainment you have provided over the years.
Can you beat fallout new Vegas as Jack the Ripper? Also hi nerbit it’s been a while since I commented this
You could technically take the stuff out of jauffre's chest as he does say "Help yourself to whatever you need". So in a way, he is gifting you the contents.
3:03 couldn't you have taken the tower birthsign to pass the first very easy door then swap at the end of sewers
I was going to say the same thing. Finally a use for the most useless birthsign in the game, and he forgot about it!
@@MichaelOosting that's probably why he didn't had it in mind
All of you are wrong tou cant choose your birthsign until after getting past the cave section a.k.a after the locked door
happy birthday Nerbit! im always glad to see your challenge runs pop up in my feed
Can you beat New Vegas as Jim Carrey? Any weapon, clothes or armor he’s used in any movie or real life, quests that seem like he’d do, Yes Man ending, must always say yes, low iq (for dumb and dumber) no injections, or syringes, animal friend perk (ace ventura), and do Old World Blues (seems very Jim Carrey), allowed ED-E and Lily (seems Jim Carrey) or Raul. No lying (liar liar) and must use robots whenever possible (Eggman)
He also can't lie (Liar Liar), and he needs something to represent Eggman.
Happy Birthday, Nerbit. Happy to have stumbled on your content as it's always an awesome video to watch.
What in oblivion is this video
What in Oblivion is this comment?
@TheTuttle99 what in the nirn
I have a challenge idea: can you beat Oblivion only using spells from Edgar's discount spells... you dont wanna win with the best, you want cheap! And he's got cheap
Happy birthday Nerbit. I always enjoy those runs of yours
Hey Nerbit, happy belated birthday! Loved the run, and I hope there will be way more Oblivion videos in the future, it's (relatively) fresh, and it seems like there could be a lot of potential for unusual restricted runs. Take care!
Just redownloaded Skyrim. It’s exactly what I needed in my life. Thank you for the content. I love you style, your honesty, your cadence, it’s been great. The fallout series got me stoked enough to play through 3 and new Vegas but I couldn’t bear f4 for very long.
I’ve never played oblivion. Guess that’s next!
Happy birthday dude, easily my favorite challenge run channel that doesn't do souls games. Keep it up
