Oblivion is easily the most difficult out of the 3 due to the way it's levelling system functions. if you don't know what I am talking about I would advise watching this: th-cam.com/video/NNlILuseQJw/w-d-xo.html it goes into great detail about why the game can get incredibly difficult very fast
@@Nerbit13098 I’ll be sure to watch that video after this one. It’ll be good to know what I’m getting into. Oh yeah, thanks for that btw. I probably never would’ve committed getting those games if not for your content. Love it man
"I am skulking about as Tarantino intended...barefoot" is the best line I've heard in a while. Comes real close to (reacting to a car blowing up in Fallout) "That would be funny if you knew where I was from", which is my favorite line I've ever heard in a challenge run.
I've been randomly rewatching your Oblivion videos and I thought to myself 'Damn it's been a while since the last one'. Well, here we are. Thanks, Nerbit.
I found out that this could also technically be done in Skyrim as well. There is 1 rusty weapon to my knowledge and that is Mace of Molag Bal before Molag Bal restores it to its Daedric Artifact form. He gives it to you and tells you to go beat someone up with it. Theoretically (because I have never tried this) you could grab the rusted mace and leave the quest unfinished. And then you can continue to just use the rusted mace as your weapon
You can also throw it in a weapon rack and keep the rusty variant, as it's not required to use it to defeat the priest. Then, you can go back and loot the rusty variant, and have both it and the actual mace. Fun times.
As someone who usually plays with absolutely no armor (just usually wearing clothes) it made me laugh that you decided to use the 5 extra points of frost damage rather than using it for another 10 damage resist to both physical damage frost damage. Yeah, for those who don't know, the 'elemental shield' spells actually increase your armor as well, which is why I typically keep the shackles and look for clothes that have seperate pants and shirts, shoes, and a nice hat for my lizard wizard.
@m No, but I've never really found any gloves in Oblivion, so I keep them back for any perma-enchants I want (which means they usually sit in a box till I'm the highest level I can get for leveled loot, then save-scum a little bit on the gates till I find the enchant I want/is useful enough to keep.) Another plus of these kinda things, least clothes wise (which probably wouldn't have helped in the challenge run there) is clothes don't have durability, so typically better in the long run when the max armor you can get is 85, so enchanted heavy/light armor doesn't do much late game. Edit: Should clarify, when I say 'gloves' I mean non-durability clothing, not gauntlets. Gauntlets on the other hand can't have you wear both of them, so it's a pick between your daedric hand-warmers that can withstand some punishment or a set of shackles that can have higher DR with the right enchantment, a resist as well to an element, and never break.
@@logan_wolf Honestly if Nerbit sees this comment, I hope he'll consider an official salad fingers run in the future, then maybe we can get the distorted Orc we deserve
I think the answer to this might just be no, there’s some enemies that are straight up immune to fire damage, and depending on your level they might become involved in the main quest. It might still be possible, but require some real trickery.
Much like this run, you could never level if you hoped to keep any semblance of even chip damage with the spell. Second, lots of Daedra are immune or highly resistant to fire like the other post mentions. Fire is just one of those things that it seems, no matter the fantasy game, Fire is usually the element with the highest amount of enemies resistant or immune to it. (And spells kinda blow in this game by comparison to Morrowind or Skyrim.)
@@temmieton9755 I mean character levelling. You only level up when interacting with a bed after 10 advances of your major skills, and there is no quest in the main story that requires you to sleep, so your character can stay at level 1 and will have an extreme advantage over every enemy they might encounter since they're scaled to what a Level 1 character is normally capable of
May I suggest, Can You Beat Skyrim With Only Glitches? Only allowed to progress the game by means of exploiting bugs/glitches, like clipping through walls to bypass a puzzle, only killing enemies with bugs/glitches directly or weapons/spells obtained through the use of bugs, etc. Any Bethesda game would work, but I think Skyrim is the most fitting.
Oh this sounds really fun, it would ramp up pretty quickly by the end with stuff like the exploits to use vampire lord spells in human form or to equip infinite rings and amulets
The oblivion weapon categories make sense, they're just named badly. Blunt should be named hafted. They're all forward center of mass weapons, while blade skill weapons are center of mass towards the grip.
the in game book manual of arms explains that "To the uninitiated, axes and hammers may seem to be very different weapons, but the rhythm, drill, and physical strength used by both weapon types are virtually identical." so that is the justification for axes being blunt i suppose
can you beat oblivion as Sheogorath? Level up once in the sewers, then leave and head immediately to borderwatch to do Sheogorath's quest and receive the wabbajack. Once you have the wabbajack, you can't use any other weapons. You can use Aleteration, Illusion, Mysticism and Restoration magics, or anything specific to sheogorath. Go to the shivering isles after getting the wabbajack. Reach max level while in the shivering isles and before finishing the shivering isles. Go finish the main game dressed as sheogorath with the wabbajack. bonus challenge, pick up any cheese you come across.
Axes are blunt weapons in how they're used to fight, an axe has a blade, but you do not wield it as a cutting weapon such as a knife or sword, you use the blade to accentuate the weight and crushing strikes, smashing things with a side order of sundering rather than slicing and cleaving
Fun fact: there are actually two Rusty Iron Daggers. One has stats roughly on-par with the standard iron dagger, and you can loot one off the skeleton's corpse. There's also one with a whopping THREE base damage, which is low enough that, depending on your race, it may display as the inventory as doing 0 damage. Make no mistake, though. It does under one damage per swing and simply rounds down. Someone else and I did extensive testing on this dagger. Should you want the weaker one, the only place you can get it AFAIK is from the Goblin loot pool. The best place is by those two goblins you roll the logs over in the tutorial.
I suffer from psychosis, I've tried to throw myself out of my window twice this year and seeing recent videos for a game that marked my adolescence makes me feel better for just a few minutes. It brings back a lot of good memories and also a time when I felt good Thanks
I'm almost obscenely excited to watch this. I used to collect a set of all armour when I was going through the levels. It's a long time since I went though but I did think there was other pieces available outside the tutorial.
Your vids are so entertaining to watch it's insane. Every challenge you face always intrigues me heavily and makes me laugh at some very funny parts. Makes being currently sick not so bad and rather bearable. Thank you. Also.... Can you beat Fallout 4 as Doom Guy?
23:10 Oh, youll never hate this game no matter the challenge? Then I challenge you to beat this game without opening your inventory (unless the game literally softlocks you otherwise).
I've done it in both, it is fun. Even made a touch spell/unarmed build one time, which I made the mistake of turning into a glass cannon. Will probably try it again some other time, but better.
I've actually thought about doing a similar challenge like this on my own (beat oblivion with only things from the tutorial area so no extra potions or new spells). Your videos are great. Keep up the good work!
This made me think about how a "tutorial items only" runs would go? You can use everything you gather in the prison for Oblivion or Helgen in Skyrim. This means you can only use healing from what you find there, can't upgrade weapons beyond what materials you can find, and only starter spells. I wonder if its even possible?
I think the reason Axes are Blunt in Oblivion is because Axes, Maces, and Hammers require simmialr skillsets like you have to get used to the awkward weight distribution and Edge Alignment isn't nearly as Important, but I also don't know HEMA at all so I don't actually know how to use them at all
You are correct. Axes are top heavy and have a small cutting edge, so their most effective use is as a crushing weapon. While axes were historically rarely supposed to be used in combat, many that were were used as armor crushers, just like maces.
I have always like watching broken sword, spoons and rusty weapons playthroughs, just imagining the hardest player character wearing the rusty armor on purpose to nerf his unimaginable might, you sir are that man.
@@donovanfaust3227 lol, is that what you actually start off with? I could have sworn it was iron. Or maybe I've jsut modded my game too much because I can't remember the last time I saw "rusty" in the title for anything.
After making challenges for myself( no cheating, exploiting glitches, no fast travel etc) I find Oblivion a lot more submersive especially after beating the entire game. Also by never changing the difficulty
A piece of advice I was given in my own Oblivion challenge run: Pick the Lord Stone. The healing power is a lesser one nad so its an insanely spammable healing power that can save your ass.
Video idea: Do a challenge but don't tell anyone the challenge at first. Just go through the video describing what you do, without saying what the challenge is. The goal is the finish and have people statt trying to guess, and if they guess right you like and reply to their comment
When you said oblivion has meat shields for most of the quest line I really enjoyed that part of the game. I remember feeling as if the npcs were doing some work
I think a Beat Oblivion challenge should include Nights of the Nine and Shivering Isles. But then Uncle Sheo would want you to suffer through the madness.
When you give Commentaries Volume 4 to Tar-Meena you don't need to wait the two days for her to decipher the books, you can then go straight to the glowy spot afterwards, cool video as always
TH-cam has so much Meh I’m always happy too see a new nerbit video on my home. Or an old one I’ll watch the entire catalog 3 times before I’ve gotta give it a month. It would be a super funny addition if rusty weapons could give tetanus, that would kill an enemy over like 3 hours.
Two Fallout challenge ideas: Can you beat Fallout 3 with only the Mesmetron(if you so choose you can also use the Microwave Emitter) Can you beat New Vegas with the Compliance Regulator
There's apparently actual builds using those. I think Assassin vocation. Dragonforge them and I hear you can do some ridiculous DPS with them. I always keep them in my storage lol
13:40 "As far as I'm aware, those robes don't rust." You could argue either way. Iron oxide dust is a pigment used in making red dye, so those robes may very well contain rusty iron after all.
"To this day I don't understand how an axe is considered a blunt weapon" I've always seen it as being based on how you swing it, and the overall shape of the weapon, moreso than what damage the weapon is doing. A sword has its weight distributed fairly evenly along its mass, but a hammer or mace has a lot of its weight on the end of it where you hit things, as does an axe. So you'd swing an axe similar to how you'd swing a hammer. It also makes sense because Oblivion (and other TES games) doesn't make a distinction between different physical damage types, unlike something like Dark Souls which has standard, slashing, and striking damage, so the weapons are just classed by the way you use them more than anything.
I remember playing through Oblivion the first time, wearing the rusty armor with a Mythic Dawn hood on my Argonian (named Monty Python because I had just seen Spamalot off Broadway). This really does feel like it's channeling every first time Oblivion player.
Here's one to make you crazy: Can you beat Oblivion while being chased by an Imperial Guard? Those bastards are known to teleport great distances just to fine you 5 gold for touching someone's spoon, so good luck.
So with that mention of Metal Gear Solid...how about can you beat Metal Gear Solid without stealth? Basically treating it like it's a shooter, running into every room and engaging in shootouts with the guards instead of sneaking past them
I've got a good one for you. "Can you beat Mad Max by only healing with fury attacks"? Rules: No canteens, no maggot meals or canned dog food, and no fresh kills from lizards or rodents. Only regain health from fury executions. Heading back to 1 of 4 strongholds is an exception due to refilling ammo. As I who have 156 hours in, over 6400 kills and maxed out all stats with a now level 224 Road Warrior in Mad Max, I would LOVE to see you do this challenge.
Here is a terrible idea I did one time: Fighting only with Restauration magic. I made it up to Level 35 before it got a real chore, but absorb health is pretty strong, actually.
I've seen a ton of your Fallout videos, but this vid makes me think I'm missing out by not seeing your other series challenges. Honestly, I think you can make narrating a challenge for *any* game entertaining.
Fallout 4 as the terminator, so there’s a bunch of mods called” talk like arney” you can only use ballistic and any not heavy energy weapons, you can wear any not faction and or advanced weapons, so basically any civilian clothes, your probably gonna use a leather jacket and double barrel shotgun, also you have to defeat or save all robots, also I’m not sure if your able to find a mod, but any mod that gives you a kid companion, you have to use him and give him a switch blade, also if you find any neat terminator mods, you can use them( you can show my name in the video… if you ever see it)
I feel like a "Fallout NV as Chuck Norris" would be pretty interesting, we was the Texas Ranger afterall. Outfit would be up to your favorite flavor of Norris, for weapons there's a bit more variety however as he's used/owned Rocket launchers, Breach nade launchers, 1911s, shotguns, a flamethrower, Smith and Wesson revolvers, LMGs, assault rifles/semi-auto rifles, Winchester rifles and of course his hands and time altering kicks.
An ax is a blunt weapon because an ax functions by being a heavy wedge, not necessarily by being sharp. A dull ax can still split timber well because its really just a heavy triangle, so its not exactly relying on an edge.
Casual "challenge". Beat the game only with gear from the tutorial area once. That means some non rusty as well as rusty iron, but with a finite number of starting potions, hammers, arrows, and shots with the goblin staff (no filled soulgems). Plus only allowing starting spells so I didn't just naked mage it. But the most fun run hands down was alchemy and h2h only. No gear but potions made from ingredients gathered, no armor or any enchanted clothes, not a single spell cast, just chugging different fortify and reflect potions, healing over time constantly, and punching.
Idea for a Halloween challenge: "Can you beat Fallout 4 as Freddy Krueger?" -only allowed to use sharp/bladed knuckles or deathclaw gauntlet as weapons -only allowed to wear clothing and fedora -only allowed to kill sleeping enemies
Challenge Idea: can you beat fallout 4 as a Rescue Diver. Rules: You can only use the Rescue Diver suit as armour You can only use sea related weapons such as the pole hook, meat hook, broadsider,harpoon gun, and others you find appropriate. You have to find sea creatures when possible. You have to drink sea water to heal, but you can also eat sea creature meat, cooked or uncooked. Side with Far Harbor in DLC.
So ia bit more of a intresting challange. I recommended this on your Reddit as a "side note" to my Fallout 76 challenge runs, but the more i think about it, the more i wanna see it... "Can you beat Fallout 4 as the Silver Shroud?"
Hey Nerbit! In the spirits of Halloween! I got a challenge for you! "Can you beat Fallout: New Vegas as Freddy Krueger?", a challenge where you have to beat the game as ghoul (as a mod, of course). But you have to only wear (Dirty) pre-War spring outfit, any fedora hat (meaning Dapper Gambling Hat, Fancy Gambling Hat, Stylish Gambling Hat, Fedora, or Vance's Lucky Hat), Your main weapon will always be Deathclaw Gauntlet or Fist of Rawr (or Fist of North Rawr with Wild Wasteland Trait). The Twist now would be that you can only kill people when they're asleep, as we obviously know that every npc (not including Mr. House since he technically is in a bed machine) goes to bed. Though you can use Mister Sandman perk, as you please but it would be easier just sneak up then give them a love tap with a giant deathclaw fist. But what faction to choose from for the ending would be really up to anyone's choice to see what Freddy would choose, although he is just a psychopathic dream serial killer. This challenge idea came from both videos of "Can you beat Fallout: New Vegas as Leatherface?" and "Can you beat Fallout 3 with only a toy knife" where you played as a nerf version of Jason Voorhees. So figured to keep the horror slasher theme going!
Thinking about the "Sponsor" you need to meet in the main story, you COULD sneak in a placement there, if you had one available "We are meeting the sponsor who is about to tell us about RAID SHADOW LEGENDS, who are sponsoring this video"
Theres actually a book in Skyrim(Not sure if it's any of the other games) detailing how to handle various weapons and it explains why axes are classified as blunt weapons instead of bladed ones. It says they're handled and swung in a similar manner to maces and serve roughly the same purpose in Legionary units. I forget what the book is called, just something neat I found a few years ago
Do a challenge in Nehrim or Enderal, I think Enderal and Nehrim both have rusty weapons aswell, though a magic only run could also be entertaining in Enderal just due to having to deal with the sickness

Seriously hearing that Oblivion music is giving me so much nostalgia. God how I'd love to relive that game all over again.
After making challenges for myself( no cheating, exploiting glitches, no fast travel etc) I find Oblivion a lot more submersive especially after beating the entire game. Also by never changing the difficulty
Local dark elf gets Tetanus, worships grandpa Nurgle and vows to wear and spread his newly acquired disease through his weapons and armor
A piece of advice I was given in my own Oblivion challenge run:
Pick the Lord Stone.
The healing power is a lesser one nad so its an insanely spammable healing power that can save your ass.
20:57 that sigil stone is from the center of the seige engine it was shooting fireballs n all that just intresting fact if nobody knew
Video idea: Do a challenge but don't tell anyone the challenge at first. Just go through the video describing what you do, without saying what the challenge is. The goal is the finish and have people statt trying to guess, and if they guess right you like and reply to their comment
When you said oblivion has meat shields for most of the quest line I really enjoyed that part of the game. I remember feeling as if the npcs were doing some work
The Sigil Stone rolling around outside the Great Gate was powering the Big Crawling Metal Thingy
You’re actually beginning to become a madman as you do these challenges
I think a Beat Oblivion challenge should include Nights of the Nine and Shivering Isles. But then Uncle Sheo would want you to suffer through the madness.
"What would happen?"
I suspect you will go through an absurd amount of repair hammers.
When you give Commentaries Volume 4 to Tar-Meena you don't need to wait the two days for her to decipher the books, you can then go straight to the glowy spot afterwards, cool video as always
TH-cam has so much Meh I’m always happy too see a new nerbit video on my home. Or an old one I’ll watch the entire catalog 3 times before I’ve gotta give it a month. It would be a super funny addition if rusty weapons could give tetanus, that would kill an enemy over like 3 hours.
Can you beat Oblivion as an identity theif?
Love your channel btw, got me through the summer
Two Fallout challenge ideas:
Can you beat Fallout 3 with only the Mesmetron(if you so choose you can also use the Microwave Emitter)
Can you beat New Vegas with the Compliance Regulator
Talking about pros and cons, the rusty weapons in Dragon's Dogma at least did poison damage on top of their pitiful standard damage.
There's apparently actual builds using those. I think Assassin vocation. Dragonforge them and I hear you can do some ridiculous DPS with them. I always keep them in my storage lol
To be fair, if someone ran up to you and hit you with a rusty weapon, you're probably getting an infection after that.
13:40 "As far as I'm aware, those robes don't rust."
You could argue either way. Iron oxide dust is a pigment used in making red dye, so those robes may very well contain rusty iron after all.
"To this day I don't understand how an axe is considered a blunt weapon"
I've always seen it as being based on how you swing it, and the overall shape of the weapon, moreso than what damage the weapon is doing.
A sword has its weight distributed fairly evenly along its mass, but a hammer or mace has a lot of its weight on the end of it where you hit things, as does an axe. So you'd swing an axe similar to how you'd swing a hammer.
It also makes sense because Oblivion (and other TES games) doesn't make a distinction between different physical damage types, unlike something like Dark Souls which has standard, slashing, and striking damage, so the weapons are just classed by the way you use them more than anything.
I remember playing through Oblivion the first time, wearing the rusty armor with a Mythic Dawn hood on my Argonian (named Monty Python because I had just seen Spamalot off Broadway). This really does feel like it's channeling every first time Oblivion player.
That Super Chris Pratt 64 joke got one hell of a laugh out of me, thanks Nerbit
10:22 No the Nerbit special is death to the Omertas with whatever you have at hand. Duh.
I love your oblivion videos. Keep up the good work man
Here's one to make you crazy:
Can you beat Oblivion while being chased by an Imperial Guard?
Those bastards are known to teleport great distances just to fine you 5 gold for touching someone's spoon, so good luck.
So with that mention of Metal Gear Solid...how about can you beat Metal Gear Solid without stealth? Basically treating it like it's a shooter, running into every room and engaging in shootouts with the guards instead of sneaking past them
I've got a good one for you. "Can you beat Mad Max by only healing with fury attacks"?
Rules: No canteens, no maggot meals or canned dog food, and no fresh kills from lizards or rodents. Only regain health from fury executions. Heading back to 1 of 4 strongholds is an exception due to refilling ammo. As I who have 156 hours in, over 6400 kills and maxed out all stats with a now level 224 Road Warrior in Mad Max, I would LOVE to see you do this challenge.
Here is a terrible idea I did one time: Fighting only with Restauration magic. I made it up to Level 35 before it got a real chore, but absorb health is pretty strong, actually.
naming your enchanted axe that does firedamage your "fireaxe" bodied me
I've seen a ton of your Fallout videos, but this vid makes me think I'm missing out by not seeing your other series challenges. Honestly, I think you can make narrating a challenge for *any* game entertaining.
The Sigil Stone you picked up off the ground was from the siege engine.
Your character when he rushes a bandit with acrobatics 100 and rust weaponry
"Woe, rust be upon ye"
Dude I've beat this game with just H2H and some damage fatigue touch spells. It's actually really OP.
Nerbit perfect time the lunch bell just rang 10/10
Another great video
My favourite part is when you rubbed a bone over uriel
Just what I needed for a awful day thank you good sir your videos never fail to make me smile
Fallout 4 as the terminator, so there’s a bunch of mods called” talk like arney” you can only use ballistic and any not heavy energy weapons, you can wear any not faction and or advanced weapons, so basically any civilian clothes, your probably gonna use a leather jacket and double barrel shotgun, also you have to defeat or save all robots, also I’m not sure if your able to find a mod, but any mod that gives you a kid companion, you have to use him and give him a switch blade, also if you find any neat terminator mods, you can use them( you can show my name in the video… if you ever see it)
I feel like a "Fallout NV as Chuck Norris" would be pretty interesting, we was the Texas Ranger afterall.
Outfit would be up to your favorite flavor of Norris, for weapons there's a bit more variety however as he's used/owned Rocket launchers, Breach nade launchers, 1911s, shotguns, a flamethrower, Smith and Wesson revolvers, LMGs, assault rifles/semi-auto rifles, Winchester rifles and of course his hands and time altering kicks.
An ax is a blunt weapon because an ax functions by being a heavy wedge, not necessarily by being sharp. A dull ax can still split timber well because its really just a heavy triangle, so its not exactly relying on an edge.
I got a very well timed ad right after you said to Uriel: I've got a bone to pick with you, Uriel!
The ad cut off your laugh and it was a sigh hahaha
Casual "challenge". Beat the game only with gear from the tutorial area once. That means some non rusty as well as rusty iron, but with a finite number of starting potions, hammers, arrows, and shots with the goblin staff (no filled soulgems). Plus only allowing starting spells so I didn't just naked mage it. But the most fun run hands down was alchemy and h2h only. No gear but potions made from ingredients gathered, no armor or any enchanted clothes, not a single spell cast, just chugging different fortify and reflect potions, healing over time constantly, and punching.
Gosh, the Oblivion music is so beautiful.
Idea for a Halloween challenge: "Can you beat Fallout 4 as Freddy Krueger?"
-only allowed to use sharp/bladed knuckles or deathclaw gauntlet as weapons
-only allowed to wear clothing and fedora
-only allowed to kill sleeping enemies
I’ve never played oblivion and yet I still watch these because I enjoy you suffering ❤
I love that this rusty run is done with a character named Tetanus Terry!
This run could be extended into a "Can you beat Skyrim with the Wooden Sword?" challenge. Just an idea.
Challenge Idea: can you beat fallout 4 as a Rescue Diver.
Rules:
You can only use the Rescue Diver suit as armour
You can only use sea related weapons such as the pole hook, meat hook, broadsider,harpoon gun, and others you find appropriate.
You have to find sea creatures when possible.
You have to drink sea water to heal, but you can also eat sea creature meat, cooked or uncooked.
Side with Far Harbor in DLC.
Thanks to Nerbit I just got oblivion and I love it. Amazing game
"I've got a bone to pick with you, Uriel" nerbit my guy, it's ok to be mad, so much elder scrolls and a little sheogorath gets inside anyone.
So ia bit more of a intresting challange. I recommended this on your Reddit as a "side note" to my Fallout 76 challenge runs, but the more i think about it, the more i wanna see it...
"Can you beat Fallout 4 as the Silver Shroud?"
Hey Nerbit! In the spirits of Halloween! I got a challenge for you!
"Can you beat Fallout: New Vegas as Freddy Krueger?", a challenge where you have to beat the game as ghoul (as a mod, of course). But you have to only wear (Dirty) pre-War spring outfit, any fedora hat (meaning Dapper Gambling Hat, Fancy Gambling Hat, Stylish Gambling Hat, Fedora, or Vance's Lucky Hat), Your main weapon will always be Deathclaw Gauntlet or Fist of Rawr (or Fist of North Rawr with Wild Wasteland Trait).
The Twist now would be that you can only kill people when they're asleep, as we obviously know that every npc (not including Mr. House since he technically is in a bed machine) goes to bed. Though you can use Mister Sandman perk, as you please but it would be easier just sneak up then give them a love tap with a giant deathclaw fist. But what faction to choose from for the ending would be really up to anyone's choice to see what Freddy would choose, although he is just a psychopathic dream serial killer.
This challenge idea came from both videos of "Can you beat Fallout: New Vegas as Leatherface?" and "Can you beat Fallout 3 with only a toy knife" where you played as a nerf version of Jason Voorhees. So figured to keep the horror slasher theme going!
Thinking about the "Sponsor" you need to meet in the main story, you COULD sneak in a placement there, if you had one available
"We are meeting the sponsor who is about to tell us about RAID SHADOW LEGENDS, who are sponsoring this video"
Perfect timing, was having a pretty crap day and this was the perfect thing to distract myself
"Unless your game has the words Gear or Solid in it"
Well, I'm certainly looking forward to the stealth run of Guilty Gear. :3
Theres actually a book in Skyrim(Not sure if it's any of the other games) detailing how to handle various weapons and it explains why axes are classified as blunt weapons instead of bladed ones. It says they're handled and swung in a similar manner to maces and serve roughly the same purpose in Legionary units. I forget what the book is called, just something neat I found a few years ago
Do a challenge in Nehrim or Enderal, I think Enderal and Nehrim both have rusty weapons aswell, though a magic only run could also be entertaining in Enderal just due to having to deal with the sickness
It's been months since this posted, and 'How Tarantino intended' has lingered in my brain after that barefoot comment. Fam.
