Howdy! Thanks for the shout-out. Loved the vid. Never thought of calling Bosmers "goobers" before, but geeze that's such a great insult. I'm stealing it. Also, I blame Fargoth.
I decided to take the fan with me the first time I met him to see how things go. He disappears shortly after and I have no idea where he went. Then he randomly spawns in front of me many hours later as I go through a door in a ship out in the middle of the sea only for me to accidentally kill him from attacking what I thought was a pirate enemy as soon as I went through the door; and that's how I ended up starting the dark brotherhood quest ahead of my planned time.
Pirate's Isles, Blackthorn, or a different pirate mod? Pirate's Isles was always my favorite, even if it was never finished. Edit: I just remembered the Bloated Float quest in the base game, lol. So, not a mod neccessarily. How I forget that quest that I usually beeline for to get that sweet buffed leather armor I'll never know.
I find it absolutely hilarious that the only way to get rid of the adoring fan without editing the game files is to straight up trap him in the equivalent of Hell to be tortured for all of eternity
I love him. He's just a silly little guy, an absolute gremlin creature of a person, a complete joke of a character. Adds a nice bit of light-heartedness to the game, even if it didn't need it. He's the equivalent of a nice glass of water in the middle of the night, loved, but you could have just waited until morning and not experienced it and you'd be perfectly fine.
@@willlewis6622 ahahaha imagine Dagon... "I have the power to send one more outside the gates..." and then he struggles and collapses, sending the fan out lol

The Adoring Fan is like the Morshu of TES: - Very little effect on the plot - Few lines of dialogue - Extremely meme-worthy - Green pants - Memes as far back as the 2000s
That classic video of hitting the Adoring Fan from the highest mountain will always remain close to our hearts. It’s like a right of passage for any Oblivion fan to at least try it once.
I've always loved the Adoring Fan. I used to try and pickpocket all of my most powerful daggers onto him, in hopes that he'd use them. He'd just lose them all though
Lost my first adoring fan during the orc plantation mission. He got crushed in the crossfire between an ogre and an ebony clad guard. Flew 25 feet in the air than landed in a horse stall. Dead on impact
He's back in Starfield too, and can actually be set to do tasks. My gut tells me he abandons any task assigned within 3 days to come back and annoy the player, begging them to let him join them again.
Did anyone else find a random house of farmers with a couple of pigs and a goat I think and murder them and use their house as your house for their whole first play through?
@@AndyCandyZeroSugar Young Adoring Fan is a merry fellow, dark green his jacket is and his hair is yellow. There my pretty hero is, Cyrodiil's champion, Slender as the willow-wand, cooler than a campion, Young adoring fan newly shined boots bringing Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing?
The second time you meet The Adoring Admirer he's actually been turned into a vampire and is also blind (as a cosmetic option it's called "Prophet Eyes"). Kid goes through some shit, it's hard not to feel bad for him. Yeah, it's technically his fault but still.
I figure the Cisero note about him luring a champion into the forest to off him, is a reference to how players lure The Adoring Fan out into nowhere so they can do the same thing.
I remember I was in a cave and he had apparently spawned back in and he came running at me in the dark without his torch and I instantly casted a shock spell and killed him by accident. Still remember that to this day :)
He's back! He achieved CHIM and left the Aurbis. Now 17 later he found his way into Bethesda's latest game, Starfield. Not even multiple generation gaps can stop him from adoring you!
Based take. It is admittedly shallow in its presentation. Been running through it again, I kind of remember why it took me so long to beat it the first time
Pretty decent game I’m at the home stretch of the end game but it doesn’t draw me in gameplay wise to go back in once I put it down unlike tes but still good game.
No matter what I play, whether it's a fisticuffs master with heavy armor or a fisticuffs master with light armor, my journey always starts at the same place. In the prison like everybody else. But after I escape I go right to the arena.
a suggestion in much the same vein as the Adoring Fan: Mud from the game Gothic. he's this guy you meet in the old camp while just walking around, who ,immediately when he spots you, traps you in a conversation trying to get a chance to help you out by following you around. But much like the Adoring fan, he's incredibly weak and constantly runs away from everything. personality wise, he's this pathetic dude, that is just really desparate for a friend, so he seeks out the player for that very purpose. Although it's not very surprising many people either avoid him outright, or get him killed somehow later (unlike the Fan, Mud doesn't resurrect, except for one time I'll get to later) as he's also a heavily implied zoophile and generally just incredibly annoying to deal with. He obviously achieved meme status almost immediately. look up any piece of Gothic content, be it a video, fan comic, fan fic, anything and you'll see Mud in one way or another. Most often as a companion for the main character. There are also the mods. the one that comes to mind first for me is Mud-ball, where you're dropped in a sort of golf course and Mud is your golf ball. Now, about the resurrection. When the work on Gothic's sequel began, it was actually supposed to be a simple expansion for the first game. taking place a couple weeks after and showing the aftermath of your actions. The intro for Gothic 2 is actually a holdover from this expansion, where there are many things shown that do not exactly align with what actually happens in game. For example, you appear in Xardas' old tower with a different room layout, your starting outfit is new, as it retains the harnesses from your endgame armor and, Mud is crushed by falling debris in the Old Camp. None of this happens in the final game. You first appear in Xardas' new tower, your outfit is basically the same as your old, and, while Mud is nowhere to be seen, the tower itself is still intact. But! In the expansion, he was supposed to come back as a zombie. Presumably appearing somewhere around the rubble of the Old camp's tower.
I'm so fucking happy I found this channel. I wasn't even the hugest elder scrolls fan but this shit is incredible and I've gotten back into Morrowind and will play oblivion next.
I started getting into Bethesda games with Oblivion. Ghost has convinced me to give Morrowind a real go. I played it a couple times as a kid at a friend's house & never touched it again.
Weird personal headcanon/theory, but it feels to me as though the Adoring Fan might be one of Sheogorath's shenanigans. Ol' Sheo has a tendency of basically shitposting when he gets bored, and the idea of cursing the Arena Champion with an adoring fan that they can't entirely get rid of or even kill and showers them with toxic positivity is exactly the kind of thing one might expect of him. Sometimes I wonder how the Adoring Fan canonically ended up years later. Not hundreds of years, obviously he'd be dead by then. More like anywhere between 2-10 years, maybe even a few more decades. Did he grow disillusioned after spending time with his hero? Did he become a Syndrome type character and go full supervillain? Or did he continue to remain a super fan for his whole life?
This dude was a really good friend to me with his six lines. I wasnt as scared in the dungeons, I wasnt as lonely. Once he died and i dragged his corpse into the yard of my castle, took some flowers and made him a funeral. His body soon disappeared and I was mad, only to see him respawned and running down the hill to follow me once again :D You say he ALMOST never engages a fight...WHEN does he actually fight? Never seen that!
If you cheat him in there, whenever you try talking to him he just says 'I HAVE NO GREETING' or something like that. Also, no voice lines for it, just text.
Starfield is going to have a trait where an "annoying fan" will show up randomly to bug you at any point in time. Just imagine you're on some desolate moon in the far flung reaches of outer space and hear "BY AZURA, BY AZURA, BY AZURA!!"
The adoring fan always reminds me of that one guy in gothic Only that the adoring fan is actually kinda funny and that guy in gothic is straight up annoying you until you're kinda forced to hit him
Oh god. Mud, isn't he? I remember trying to bump him off the edge of the river to drown him in the fall. For some weird reason I have the memory of him being immortal too, because for some reason I couldn't kill him normally, but I also seem to recall managing to do just that in the end with a sword. I can still hear his annoying little voice grating in my ears.
Canonically, in my playthroughs? He ends up walled up in the ghost house in Anvil. After donning the mantle of "the Mad God" the Hero of Kvatch never got around to mortal matters again, having touched the insanity. The fan was left locked in that cellar. Also for the record, I wholly believe there is no Jygallag. It's entirely a fiction created by Sheogorath merely from boredom and wants to see if the person who can take on Mehrunes Dagon is infallible. His realm is a fiction designed to embody madness and loss of self idenity. You aren't Sheogorath. There was no battle. You exit that plane with no power except calling a daedra. Which any novice can do... You only have that god power when you retreat into the Isles. Like a fantasy... So essentially the Hero of Kvatch went mad. When I see the lore videos on the Shivering Isles, I chuckle that ol' uncle Sheogorath pulled a fast one.
In the earliest days of TH-cam there are two videos I remember seeing before I knew anything about Bethesda games. Adoring fan at dive rock, and a video about the explosion collars going off in the Sierra Madre in new Vegas. Not even knowing I was watching videos from what would someday become two of my favorite/most played game series.
the idea of the adoring fan irritating the champion of cyrodil to the point where the champion decides to leave him in the deadlands is god damned hilarious to me.
12:46 I think you can reverse it by pressing ~ to open the console, typing "prid aed41" and after pressing enter typing "moveto player" and hitting enter.
He's still not as annoying as Nazeem. At least the Adoring Fan is a happy little shit and doesn't spend his 6 lines of dialogue telling you he climbs the city's stairs more times a day than you do.
Fun fact: The VA for the Adoring Fan and a lot of male elf voicelines in Oblivion acknowledged the cult of killing the Adoring Fan and the Young Scrolls song STAR (which plays at the end of this video) in an interview here on YT
He is actually the strongest for the simple fact that he is immortal and just comes back for more. Good to know I'm not alone at shooting an arrow in the Adoring Fans' face sending him off the tallest cliff while playing "Chariots of Fire" in the background. 🤣
I remember somewhere seeing that you can disappoint the adoring fan so he stops following you willingly and it's the most heartbreaking thing I've seen. I was hoping it would've been this video, but no...
I discovered your channel a few days ago and man, I'm obsessed with your videos. I've been doing whole marathons of them. I also made a little altar at my bedroom where I put pieces of paper with quotes from your videos written on them. I'm working on getting your address so I can offer my fervient suppor on anything you want. Maybe I can do all your chores, clean your house, cook for you, so you can focus all your time on your videos. Anyways, I love this channel. That's the main message
If you use a courage spell on him he will actually fight. And he’s pretty good with hand to hand combat, doesn’t even pull out the dagger. He even beat a dremora to death before a deadroth eviscerated him the last time I had him in my party (I would collect npcs for a small party)
Waking up and seeing a ghostcharm video? Hell yeah Ok, I have to know, WHY IS CANDEROUS WITHOUT A SHIRT IN THE KOTOR SHOT? That hit me like a steel chair lol
I always liked the guy. I'd leave him in one of my houses to keep the place tended to while I was out, or I'd take him on adventures as a challenge, to try and keep him alive. But I always theorized that maybe he was Sheogorath in disguise, or was sent by him to drive you mad. That would explain how the same crazy-looking Bosmer shows up again and again, even if he dies.
A very generic NPC line when you're trespassing is "for the love of Azura, can't a woman/man get a moment's privacy around here?" Azura mentioning is totes benign.
I like to make my own lore for the Elder Scrolls games. In my Oblivion playthrough, I literally locked the Adoring Fan down in my basement of Benirus Manor. So when many years pass until the events of Skyrim, his corpse would be found by my Dovahkiin in the modded Skyrim quest, The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal. All because my Hero of Kvatch literally left him in her basement with no food or anything.
The return of the king..........now to eject him out of an airlock (So wait.....is he like the bethesda version of patches from fromsoftware (from from) but less of an asshole who kicks you off bridges and abandons you during boss fights and more of an annoying follower who just won't stop talking)
By Azura by Azura by Azura! I'm so excited for this video oh great and mighty champion! Can I carry your weapon? Shine your boots? Leave a like comment and subscribe? I think I shall!

He's still not as annoying as Nazeem. At least the Adoring Fan is a happy little shit and doesn't spend his 6 lines of dialogue telling you he climbs the city's stairs more times a day than you do.
That orc kicked my ass the first time i tried to fight him without breaking hopes and dreams
Fun fact: The VA for the Adoring Fan and a lot of male elf voicelines in Oblivion acknowledged the cult of killing the Adoring Fan and the Young Scrolls song STAR (which plays at the end of this video) in an interview here on YT
He is actually the strongest for the simple fact that he is immortal and just comes back for more.
Good to know I'm not alone at shooting an arrow in the Adoring Fans' face sending him off the tallest cliff while playing "Chariots of Fire" in the background. 🤣
Lmao only you and other super virgins
I must say, I'm amazed that I've never heard anyone ever describe anything as "an absolute tumor." Best believe I'm working that into my lexicon.
Now he's infiltrated Starfield
I remember somewhere seeing that you can disappoint the adoring fan so he stops following you willingly and it's the most heartbreaking thing I've seen. I was hoping it would've been this video, but no...
I grew to like him and would have him wait outside dungeons to stay safe
I discovered your channel a few days ago and man, I'm obsessed with your videos. I've been doing whole marathons of them. I also made a little altar at my bedroom where I put pieces of paper with quotes from your videos written on them. I'm working on getting your address so I can offer my fervient suppor on anything you want. Maybe I can do all your chores, clean your house, cook for you, so you can focus all your time on your videos.
Anyways, I love this channel. That's the main message
I love how the only way to get rid of him without mods or console commands is to litterally, in game and in lore, damn him to Oblivion
If you use a courage spell on him he will actually fight. And he’s pretty good with hand to hand combat, doesn’t even pull out the dagger. He even beat a dremora to death before a deadroth eviscerated him the last time I had him in my party (I would collect npcs for a small party)
I remember swearing to God he was named annoying fan so funny now realizing I was wrong after all these years
Waking up and seeing a ghostcharm video? Hell yeah
Ok, I have to know, WHY IS CANDEROUS WITHOUT A SHIRT IN THE KOTOR SHOT? That hit me like a steel chair lol
chaderous
There is no honor in wearing mere shirts.
Charm's from the Elder Scrolls lands.
He's no stranger to people walking au naturel.
I just left mine outside my house so every time I visited my house I felt appreciated :)
"by Azura, by Azura, by Azura. That's a tall cliff Mr champion. And isn't that just the darkest soul gem I've ever seen"
_"After all, I am your biggest fan."_
1:03 "how on earth could a character with only 6 lines of dialogue..."
Morshu: hold my rupees
I always liked the guy. I'd leave him in one of my houses to keep the place tended to while I was out, or I'd take him on adventures as a challenge, to try and keep him alive. But I always theorized that maybe he was Sheogorath in disguise, or was sent by him to drive you mad. That would explain how the same crazy-looking Bosmer shows up again and again, even if he dies.
A very generic NPC line when you're trespassing is "for the love of Azura, can't a woman/man get a moment's privacy around here?" Azura mentioning is totes benign.
I like to make my own lore for the Elder Scrolls games. In my Oblivion playthrough, I literally locked the Adoring Fan down in my basement of Benirus Manor. So when many years pass until the events of Skyrim, his corpse would be found by my Dovahkiin in the modded Skyrim quest, The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal. All because my Hero of Kvatch literally left him in her basement with no food or anything.
I would love a Villainpedia on Lavos from Chrono Trigger.
I’ve left him in the basement of my character’s house since 2011.
Top 5 Oblivion NPCs:
1. Lucien Lachance

3. Imperial Watch
4. Haskill
5. Adoring Fan
I'm loving these npc videos because of how thorough they are. Good job keep it up
He’s a curse on the player for slaying a defenseless depressed Agronak Gro’Malog.
Thanks again starfield for bring him back into my life......I'm so thrilled 😮
The return of the king..........now to eject him out of an airlock
(So wait.....is he like the bethesda version of patches from fromsoftware (from from) but less of an asshole who kicks you off bridges and abandons you during boss fights and more of an annoying follower who just won't stop talking)
Lovable sort ahead
therefore
Try attacking
By Azura by Azura by Azura! I'm so excited for this video oh great and mighty champion! Can I carry your weapon? Shine your boots? Leave a like comment and subscribe? I think I shall!
6:16 damn, that actually hurt since I can relate
A theory i've lived by for years is that the Adoring Fan is actually Sheogorath sizing up the main character. For the Lulz
