Episode's summary: - Mac finds a soulmate in a guy who was tortured by elves, the crusade against Hundolin's ancestor begins. - Named after a puking onomatopoeia, orc Ublgurg gro-obrgbugl offers the service to repair armor for a modest price, Mac prefers to buy thirty hammers and smack his gear instead - Turns out that near the ancient ruins filled with undead there once was an alchemical laboratory of the necrophiliac elf lady - Inside the ruins Falanu Hlaalu's party is still going hard: Zombies put their hands up in the air to the sound of metal, single ghost ladies in your area are so hot they turn into scrambled eggs, skeletons like it rough in a dark corner - Fifty shades of "HMPH"
Please keep these going, this is witty stuff, and I didn't even consider that Mac was so genuinely unhinged that he'd rather attempt fixing his gear with a sack of hammers than simply paying a blacksmith to fix them for him. He truly deserves the title of Mad God.
I think y'all had a broken random number generator this playthrough... often things are programed in a way that they check that a number you "roll" is less than the probability value, (like, if you were to have a 30% chance of doing something, it'd pick a number between 0 and 1 and check if it's less than or equal to 0.3). I think your random number generator function was returning 0 repeatedly, which would explain why all the grass and stuff looked grid-like (no random distribution at all) or why you kept stunning every enemy you hit (if you had a chance to stun on hit of 0.1, and you kept rolling 0, 0 is always less than 0.1, thus always stunning). It could also explain the fire at the feet glitch as well as the other weirdness hapening this playthrough tonight like you getting stun-locked by the skeleton (who always chose the attack-now choice (his delay between attacking is just 0!) for the same reason :p ), or it always choosing the same grunt noise for every enemy (always choose voice clip 0)
The way to fix it in future playthroughs, if you see it happening again, is to just restart the game, that should reset the random number generator's state.
It's cool rewatching this episode to see all the clues indicating the busted RNG, like NPCs repeating the same line/grunt and the suddenly perfectly spaced grass and clouds. What game.
Rewatching this one is like rewatching a tv show or rereading a book and noticing all the foreshadowing of the end. So many hints about the game breaking all leading to the tragic incident with the skeleton
*HMPH. HMPH. HMPH. HMPH. HMPH. HMPH. HMPH. HMPH.* *ded* The stunlock actually seems to start around 13:44 when the two NPCs are fighting. It's like all combat in the game from that point was bugged, not just the player character's.
This is actually a glitch where every hit in the game always staggers you and enemies. Sadly the only fix is to reload to a save before it started happening.
There's gotta be something wrong with the game, I don't remember the hitstun causing that for either the AI or the player every single time you fight someone. This is why you don't play Bethesda games on consoles. You can't DL the unofficial patches that fix all the stuff that the devs can't be assed to fix themselves.
Five years later but here i go: They are also the only way to level armorer, which at first appears like a useless skill solely there for money saving. Later down the line armorer can improve gear to 125 durability , increasing its damage/armor values. Aside from that, armorer levels increase your endurance gain, and endurance is pretty crucial for any class in the game due to how health growth works
Fun fact, Pelinal Whitestrike, the ghost knight you talked to at the beginning, is apparently a time-traveling robot from the future, from the time when Tamriel is literally falling apart and gears inside are showing. Literal gears.
Pretty much yes. Passages showing things like having the/a red diamond in his chest, a left hand of 'killing light', as well as a few other things. Read the Loveletter, as well as the songs of Pelinal and stuff about KINMUNE. Hell, just read C0da and it will all (not) make sense. But it depends on how much of Kirkbrides lore you take as gospel.
Only if you fully accept the coda as canonical. I'm not just saying that because it wasn't written by Bethesda Game Studios; I genuinely have mixed feelings about it's quality. Honestly I've never been a big fan of how Michael Kirkbride treats the idea of advanced technology in the Elder Scrolls universe (though I like pretty much every other aspect of his writing). To me, it seems far more interesting and creative if technology in the Aurbis develops into something quite alien to our own technology due to fundamental differences between our two universes (think of the lexicon or dwemer automatons).
When you've seen this episode before, it reminds me of the movie Midsommar. There's constant foreshadowing to the final scene - the fight with the skeleton.
This series is just too good. This year I have finished this many time. The developement of Mac is just too amazing. In the beginning he is murdering everyone and then he becomes thin ultimate good guy and boss of every faction in Cyrodil.
Guys, this was the funniest episode so far. The bugs in this one were hilarious. Keep up the let’s play, always brings me joy when it comes up on my feed. Goodbye.
Guys you can pay the armour merchant to repair your gear for you by selecting the option right next to bartering. It's much cheaper and more effective.
I think your game is about to be corrupted. You should probably clear your cache, uninstall and re-install your updates, and back up your saves on an external memory device. Bethesda games, in a sense, have cancer. When you first start a character, everything is all fine and dandy. Mid-way through a dedicated playthrough, health problems become increasingly prevalent. I think you guys are reaching late stage which, like actual cancer, is when the problem is most commonly discovered and it's almost too late to do anything about it. Skyrim is extremely guilty of this. It deteriorates much faster than Oblivion, Fallout: 3, or Fallout: 4.
Does Oblivion on PC suffer from this cancer? I just ported my saves from Xbox and installed a boatload of mods. Only about a quarter way through the storyline.
@@pricture no, it also doesnt usually suffer from issues on console. Mods are the real killers on pc but the modding community is amazing and have done a ton to entend the lifespan so constant crashes sre just a tradeoff.
I've done everything back in the day so this is cool to finally see Knights of the Nine. I can't wait to have all the major conversations be skipped through and all the big parts get messed up 😂😂
100% stagger chance makes the game who hits first, wins. I would love to see how Mac fights with multiple opponents at that condition :>. Great episode as always!
In the small town just outside the imperial city, weye i think, across the bridge there's a quest to kill some slaughterfish in the lake for the fisherman guy in that village. Think he lives across from the inn there, but he gives you a ring of waterbreathing, always pick it up on new playthroughs and much easier than the one at the bottom of the ocean! Hope this help mac become aquamac lol
This stun locking reminds me of a harry potter game for the PS2, I think it was years 5 or 6, where the dueling minigame basically was just: who shoots the knockdown spell first, and continued to spam it for the rest of the game.
10:55 This is normal in Oblivion, merchants have a gold limit, but they never run out. While they cannot pay more than the amount of gold they have, they will be able to pay that amount an indefinite number of times. Also, that stunlock actually wasn't a bug, it was a poor design choice and it was further aggravated by your low Agility stat, which affects your stagger frequency. As for the frequent enemy stagger, it might be your high skill vs. relatively low level, because enemies scale based on your level as opposed to skill. Those stuck looking particle effects (such as the ones during your encounter with Pelinal) might be an early indication of the "Abomb bug" which gradually starts making 2D animations slow down or freeze completely. If your spell effects or fire effects start doing that, it's a good sign that you're heading towards a corrupt save. It's very unlikely considering the relatively low amount of playtime compared to the average amount before it usually triggers, but just something to keep an eye out for, because it is fixable before it ruins your save. I didn't mean to turn this comment into a ramble, so I'll stop here.
The burned down house is an easter egg from Bethesda. There is also one in morrowind and one in Fallout 4 but in fallout you see the guy blow it up with moonshine, the pink potion bottles screwn around in oblivion represent the explosive beverages too.
Can't move. Body frozen. Must've been the damned Skeleton.

Episode's summary:
- Mac finds a soulmate in a guy who was tortured by elves, the crusade against Hundolin's ancestor begins.
- Named after a puking onomatopoeia, orc Ublgurg gro-obrgbugl offers the service to repair armor for a modest price, Mac prefers to buy thirty hammers and smack his gear instead
- Turns out that near the ancient ruins filled with undead there once was an alchemical laboratory of the necrophiliac elf lady
- Inside the ruins Falanu Hlaalu's party is still going hard: Zombies put their hands up in the air to the sound of metal, single ghost ladies in your area are so hot they turn into scrambled eggs, skeletons like it rough in a dark corner
- Fifty shades of "HMPH"
Please keep these going, this is witty stuff, and I didn't even consider that Mac was so genuinely unhinged that he'd rather attempt fixing his gear with a sack of hammers than simply paying a blacksmith to fix them for him. He truly deserves the title of Mad God.
this is copy pata material LOL

Oh no, I was wrong :(, they save the random state in the save file as well, the only way to fix it is to reload before the glitch happened...
Is that why the repair hammers all broke in 1 hit as well?
It's cool rewatching this episode to see all the clues indicating the busted RNG, like NPCs repeating the same line/grunt and the suddenly perfectly spaced grass and clouds. What game.
23:08 I realize that the helmet gives the effect Serene Beauty, but I like to imagine that Mac gets that effect anytime his face is covered.
"you wont find better prices in all of Tamriel"
if you do find better prices, can you sue Urbul gro-Orkulg?
The way you mix light and heavy armor with wild abandon fills me with a solemn dread.
Do not question Mac!
Isnt that the most optimal way to play though so your armor stats all level? Pretty sure it is.
It's called endurance training.
I think you experienced the rare 100% stagger chance bug. Rebooting your console should fix it.
You guys have literally the most broken copy of this game I've ever seen
Oh, i thought they were features standsrd in any bethesda release.
Yeah this is pretty damn typical of my Bethesda experiences
Bugs are normal, this is next level! And i’m totally here for it 😂
HMPPH
Rewatching this one is like rewatching a tv show or rereading a book and noticing all the foreshadowing of the end.
So many hints about the game breaking all leading to the tragic incident with the skeleton
The burned house used to belong to the necrophiliac dunmer in Skingrad, her new store has the same name
That creepy bitch
And so Mac, the Daedric Lord of Madness, perished in a corner repeating "HMPH".
*HMPH. HMPH. HMPH. HMPH. HMPH. HMPH. HMPH. HMPH.* *ded*

Wow that's balls!
What's the news from the other provinces? Hello
That battle between the legionary and the bandit though.
“HURF! HMPH! HURF! HMPH! HURF! HMPH!”
That fucking stun-lock at the beginning. That happened to me once and I almost had an aneurysm, I was so stressed
Hrmm!
Hrmm!
Hrmm!
Hrmm!
This is why i hate oblivion's combat system.

Feddy von Wigglestein + I restarted the game and it got fixed, but it was really frustrating. I was in the arena and I couldn't quit 😂😂
@@JohnnyCasey face...ME!!!!
hm hm hm!
The blacksmiths can just fix your armor to 100 for you. Repair hammers are so you can repair out in the field.
Five years later but here i go:

3:53 the music still gives me chills
Yeah that's one of my favorite tracks too
Same:)
I AM LAUGHING SO HARD AT MAC BEING STUCK IN ENDLESS STAGGERING
Looks like Dark Souls 3 isn't the only game where poise is "working as intended"
Roderic, Pelinal and the Prophet all being voiced by Wes is so damn funny. The whole game feels like a Month Python experience.
I always thought Knights of the Nine would be fit well with Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Like, "Tis but a minor wound!"
Take me down to the Imperial city where the girls are green and the grass is griddy
You Dri...! You Dri...! You Dri...! You Dri...! You Dri...! You Dri...! You *ough* Drive a hard bargain
Watching these videos is like hanging out with some friends and being the quiet one.
Episode 34 and you finally moved that waypoint marker you've had since basically the beginning. I'm gonna miss it.
BGAH, i have finally caught up with the lets play!
Mr.Zombicik same, I binged a bunch over the weekend and caught up
Mack has the ideal male body.
If he were a time traveller, all statues of great kings and generals would instead be replaced with Mac's head
Yet another unrealistic beauty standard for men
He has the chad body and the virgin face.
Speaking of DLCs...
Are you gonna do the horse armor one? :3
Best dlc
best in the history of gaming
10:01 Mac, you hold the hammer by the wooden end.
hmph..hmph..hmph..hmph..hmph..hmph..hmph..hmph..hmph..hmph..hmph..hmph..
Fun fact, Pelinal Whitestrike, the ghost knight you talked to at the beginning, is apparently a time-traveling robot from the future, from the time when Tamriel is literally falling apart and gears inside are showing. Literal gears.
The Imperial Library?
Well, if you take C0da to be canon at least. But IMO it's more fun that way.
Pretty much yes. Passages showing things like having the/a red diamond in his chest, a left hand of 'killing light', as well as a few other things. Read the Loveletter, as well as the songs of Pelinal and stuff about KINMUNE. Hell, just read C0da and it will all (not) make sense. But it depends on how much of Kirkbrides lore you take as gospel.
Oh, looks like The Loveletter from the 5th Era was expanded upon since I last read it.
Only if you fully accept the coda as canonical. I'm not just saying that because it wasn't written by Bethesda Game Studios; I genuinely have mixed feelings about it's quality. Honestly I've never been a big fan of how Michael Kirkbride treats the idea of advanced technology in the Elder Scrolls universe (though I like pretty much every other aspect of his writing).

Loving your oblivion play through, gives me something to look forward to when I jump on TH-cam. Keep up the good works guys
that intro sure is something lmao. also notice how part of the ribbon on the wayshrines map goes... under the actual picture of the map apsdfd
When you've seen this episode before, it reminds me of the movie Midsommar. There's constant foreshadowing to the final scene - the fight with the skeleton.
13:50 even the wood elf was Wes Johnson
I feel like this game will soon become unplayable
At least it gives them a “Get out of jail free” card to move to another game sometime. We all love oblivion eventually it will get boring to them.
*Hiss* HMM! *Hiss* HMM! *Hiss* HMM! *Hiss* HMM! *Hiss* HMM! *Hiss* HMM! *Hiss* HMM! *Hiss* HMM!
Ah, the sweet symphony of Oblivion.

Goodbye.
Hahahahahahahah when the skeleton had you in the corner. Its stuff like this which is why i love watching you guys!
This episode in particular is so bugged man fuck, every enemy is getting stunned from macs light attack lol good as
Guys you can pay the armour merchant to repair your gear for you by selecting the option right next to bartering. It's much cheaper and more effective.
These are the only only guys on youtube that can do a lets play and make me laugh, keep up the amazing videos
I just feel like this episode should be titled "The Hrmphing"
Holy shit early lafave bros!!
It's too early to drink but I guess one beer won't hurt
TheDrFunkenstein lol word!!!
7pm is not early.
I've gotten too used to cracking open a cold one alongside the LeFave bros, now I just feel like an alcoholic.
for me its a bong rip hahah
I had that glitch and I didn't have a backup save. All I could do was restart the game.
Birb Because I was fighting Umaaril and I saved the game after the glitch had activated.
Damn, Mac got wrecked by that skeleton.
17:47 eggtoplasm

I've never really had game breaking problems with Skyrim on pc, but I don't play with mods so that could be why
I like how he turns into Lucien Lachance for no reason
It’s funny , I wait for Tuesday every week simply to watch these and only these
This Episode should be called The Dance Dance West Johnson edition
*Hmph-ing repeats Intensely for 30 minutes*
Keep up the great videos guys - been loving every episode since the beginning!
this was a particularly awesome and funny episode
Don’t ever stop doing these let’s play my friends
Just watching that intro gave me ptsd to my first Oblivion playthrough
I've done everything back in the day so this is cool to finally see Knights of the Nine. I can't wait to have all the major conversations be skipped through and all the big parts get messed up 😂😂
Oblivion's combat at its finest in that Knights fo the Nine "fight"...
Same thing happened to my friend when I first introduced the game to him, he was double staggered with the HMPHH! by too skeevers in Lucien's keep.
The helmet Emmett talked about that allowed you to breath underwater is Fin Gleam and it is off the north coast of Anvil.
I don't know were it is specifically though :(
I could not stop laughing when that wolf climbed (???!) up that pillar. Oh shit.
Man that Skeleton really hated Mac
Your videos made me get back into elder scrolls. I picked up skyrim on my switch and it's a really fun time.
Oh my yes! I feel especially delighted this evening, perhaps it's time I placed my latest "Thumbs up" on this video.
The Ayleids were ancient Wild Elves, the slavemasters of Queen Alessia's people. Umaril is Ayleid.
"I can't see the little line coming out of Bravil." That's the road.
I’ve been playing this game for years and years and I have never seen it as buggy as when yall play it 😂😂😂😂
The peak of male masculinity is Mac
He can do all things: Punch, Jump, Cut, Flip, and woo all humanoids anywhere in Tamriel.
Hello
Always a treat! Keep up the good work, my dudes
100% stagger chance makes the game who hits first, wins. I would love to see how Mac fights with multiple opponents at that condition :>.
Great episode as always!
You guys should check out the quest: Shadow over hackdirt, pretty nice quest with a couple references to H.P Lovecraft : )
Rejoice! You've completed the pilgram......age!!
I love how Oblivion got the Shivering Isles; one of the best DLCs ever made, but it also have overpriced horse armor DLC.
I'm...at a lost for words. And seriously trying not to laugh during class 😂😂😂 Poor Mac
In the small town just outside the imperial city, weye i think, across the bridge there's a quest to kill some slaughterfish in the lake for the fisherman guy in that village. Think he lives across from the inn there, but he gives you a ring of waterbreathing, always pick it up on new playthroughs and much easier than the one at the bottom of the ocean! Hope this help mac become aquamac lol
Oblivion's bugs are so much more hilarious than the ones in Skyrim. XD
This stun locking reminds me of a harry potter game for the PS2, I think it was years 5 or 6, where the dueling minigame basically was just: who shoots the knockdown spell first, and continued to spam it for the rest of the game.
I had also run in to that combat bug as well
The stun-locking could be a bug, or your AGI is damaged. Try clearing your xbox's cache.
The gwass is gwidding again
What day is it?

Oh it's Tuesday! YES

10:55 This is normal in Oblivion, merchants have a gold limit, but they never run out. While they cannot pay more than the amount of gold they have, they will be able to pay that amount an indefinite number of times.
Also, that stunlock actually wasn't a bug, it was a poor design choice and it was further aggravated by your low Agility stat, which affects your stagger frequency. As for the frequent enemy stagger, it might be your high skill vs. relatively low level, because enemies scale based on your level as opposed to skill.
Those stuck looking particle effects (such as the ones during your encounter with Pelinal) might be an early indication of the "Abomb bug" which gradually starts making 2D animations slow down or freeze completely. If your spell effects or fire effects start doing that, it's a good sign that you're heading towards a corrupt save. It's very unlikely considering the relatively low amount of playtime compared to the average amount before it usually triggers, but just something to keep an eye out for, because it is fixable before it ruins your save.
I didn't mean to turn this comment into a ramble, so I'll stop here.
When will you guys join the thieves guild
such a musical episode.
and its only fair that you were on the receiving end of getting stunlocked for once =P
this game is absolutely amazing
You have my ear citizen can i have it back now ?
never stop playing this game please
Aylieds are the wild elves of cyrodiil that died out after Pelinal Whitestrake slew Umaril’s mortal form. Alessia also helped wipe them out.
So many bugs tho
Just in time for my morning coffee!
oblivion's looking like morrowind with that stun lock glitch! hahaha
The burned down house is an easter egg from Bethesda. There is also one in morrowind and one in Fallout 4 but in fallout you see the guy blow it up with moonshine, the pink potion bottles screwn around in oblivion represent the explosive beverages too.
Except that in the burned building in Oblivion they are potions of fire resist, so it makes some sort of sense that they're still there unscathed.
Ahhh yes that would make perfect sense then
Best part of the ep was when Mac savagely whailed on the undead knights into a corner.
