Been looking forward to this. Also I've been replaying skyrim and was doing Raven Rock. It would be a journey to power up enough to conquer the mine. I'd look forward to that.
One of my favorite childhood Oblivion memories is spending several hours using the paintbrush glitch to build a staircase all the way to the top of the White Gold Tower to see what was up there, only to fall right through it and die.
That reminds me of what happened in Skyrim. they didn't even fight me, when I picked his pocket, got caught by him, I think he fell in love with my character. Because he just stood there for just a moment before he said goodbye and walked away. No gaurds nothing. But for some odd reason feandal gets jelous and randomly starts attacking others and sometimes me so I have to keep a clam spell on my hand.
@@spicysalad3013 ah yes my Grammer isn't gonna be perfect, I never learned how to speak or write in English.... Despite being born and raised in the USA with English American speaking parents... 🤣
Oblivion really is my happy place. The goofy ass faces, ragdoll kills, and the awesome guild quests. I’ll always remember the first time a troll full on sprinted at me when I didn’t even know they existed.
I laughed for hours when I was first introduced to a two-handed blunt weapon build with a warhammer with spark enchantment. Love them noodlely physics.
Had a similar experience with the unicorn. Just minding my own business doing some sidequests, cut through a forest and suddenly, not only are there UNICORNS in this game now, but it's invincible to ALL my weapons. Chased me through the forest until I got refuge at a roadside inn. It murdered some random ranger on the way, too. What a way to go...

You're the one who killed the emperor, then you are the one who deals with the consequences.
The amount of stuff you can do in and around the city is great. The vampires under the city are a great way to become a vampire without having to risk fighting a stronger vampire at lower levels.
Gotta say, everytime I go back to this game I really don't have to learn things again because it's so burnt into my brain from a childhood chocked full of memories. This video was so nostalgic, thank you.
@@jacksonbarlow8921 Me neither. But then again I haven't played Oblivion for at least a decade. Still great memories, and I remember everything else - including getting the Skeleton Key asap so I'd never have to worry about the damn locks.
One of the best farming spots at all levels if you are just staying in the imperial city is the first room of the sewers right by the Imperial Sewers northern entrance. If you enter there then head to the room on your right, you find 2 boss level chests guarded by a pair of mud crabs. One of them usually just has gold, but the other will sometimes have enchanted gear alongside a good amount of gold.

Surprised he didn't loot Dorian for the infinite gold glitch. (P.S.

Also PS: Huge props for the Mercenaries shoutout, I still love that game to pieces).
Used to love Mercenaries. Spent so much time on the 1st game. 2nd game was pretty suckish compared I didn't find it as good. A shame they canceled the 3rd game I do hope one day they decide to reboot
The golden galleon quest lets you spare Selene. The other 3 all give one detail about their operation, and once you confront their boss, she won't believe you took down her allies unless you tell her what they told you (you'd have to kill them at the end of the dialogue though). Once she realizes you can't be lying because you know too much, she'll surrender and be locked in the Imperial prison.
Oh no the people in cars are no longer safe, soon it'll learn to fly a plane too then the air wouldn't be safe and even worse it'll soon learn to drive a boat and the water wouldn't be safe. No one will escape oblivion.

To be honest Joov, your videos are a package deal.

Keep up the good work, you're definitely in my top five favorite content creators.
Ahhh, I miss the broken paintbrushes and paint pots. I felt so smart when I found out you could dupe them and phase into the Temple of One. Oblivion is one of those games that are so broken that there is almost beauty in the way it reacts. Wether intentional or not.
My favorite thing about the Imperial City is that I don't have a favorite thing. Or more specifically, why I don't have a favorite thing. There's legitimately so many fun things to do that not only can I not pick just one, but I can't even remember everything off the top of my head. Oblivion might always be my favorite Elder Scrolls game.
This was a real treat. Always love these challenges. I mean I love all your videos but these city locked challenges are tons of fun seeing what you find to do.
i tried to watch this while falling asleep but this video caused me to fail miserably because it was too entertaining. also definitely makes me want to revisit this game. thank you joov
18:15 Me: Wait, do I hear? 19:03 Me: *Instant nostalgia* That's the Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction theme! Followed by Allied Nations! I originally had this playing while doing something, and the second I recognized it, I stopped and you had my immediate attention.

@BansheeKing22 If the murderer is attempting to murder you, then yes. However if the murderer is just minding his business and you murder him, then that itself is murder, or ironic justice depending on who you ask.
FANTASTIC video. I can tell it took a lot of effort! If you take your time and these are the quality of videos you put out, even with them taking more time, I am here for it!
who doesn't want 3 hours of walking into a corner, that's what VOD channels are for after all! to listen to people walk into corners in the background while you do something else like playing a game only to not feel so alone and make double sure to never ever be alone with your thoughts
Honestly, the Grey Prince has a lot of fascinating lore behind him and I hate that the game pretends like 80% of it doesn't exist at face value. You can just meet him, kill him, and never know anything else is going on there.
What do you mean you hate it? That's honestly the beauty of it, the fact that he's actually a really deep character and some people might just not find that out! It really is the problem with modern Bethesda that the whole experience just feels spoon-fed, you can't fuck anything up either I'm on accident or on purpose without breaking the game to do so I loved Skyrim and Oblivion was my very first elder scrolls game but morrowind is honestly where it's at, simply because you can fuck yourself over and make large swaths of the game uncompletable, and the game doesn't fucking stop you or throw up a big heads up to say "hey there was 15 hours of lore here!" The most you get is effectively a "you might regret that later, you might not"
@@KitKatHexe yeah exactly, that's the issue with companies like rockstar, you basically can't miss shit unless you blindfold yourself, even then many game companies prefer to tell rather than show, there is absolutely nothing you can miss in modern games no matter how you play
@@baltejvirk3303 if you like lore that requires you to search for it you might like from soft lore, probably comparable to morrowind in terms of lore maybe even better
@@KitKatHexe Yeah, but Oblivion is built in a really hand-holdy nature, so people playing it are more inclined to assume its just going to outright point to things for you, especially as far as an NPC you're already talking to. Morrowind - which is my favourite game as well - makes it pretty clear early on that you aren't going to be outright shown much of anything and that digging deep is a requirement if you want to see the lore. So I was moreso saying that more people are likely to meet the Grey Prince and know he exists, but also not realize he has much lore because they're more likely to assume if he did, the game would point them at least in some level in the direction of a sidequest. Whereas in a game like Morrowind, you really have to go out of your way to even find NPCs and talk to them. Games like Oblivion and Skyrim make it easy to rush past dialogue and still progress in quests because of the waypoint marker. So I guess in a way, you could argue I prefer the way games like Morrowind make it both a little more difficult to get around easily and require you actually acknowledge the lore to progress in the game.
Proud to be a part of your road to 100k subscribers. You consistently put out quality content, you're very entertaining. Honestly, one of the best channels on TH-cam. Thanks for what you do, mate!
When I was playing Oblivion for the first time, I was afraid to leave the city for a while and was trying to make something of myself first. As I didn't know the game well, I was mostly looting junk items and plants and selling them for a couple of coins to merchants until I stumbled upon Thoronir's quest.
Yknow, since you like the nostalgia posts, I'll give mine. Martin is best boy and I just absolutely loved that he was voiced by Sean Bean, so I never took him to Weynon Priory. I had a 400 hour save where I did everything in the game (except unpriestly things or the main quest) while Martin was my follower. I never progressed the main quest after that, and I just kind of let the save stay, never finished that playthrough. And although Oblivion is my favorite of the series, I don't think I can do another playthrough because it just wouldn't feel the same. I'm happy that I left off on a high note, even though never finishing a playthrough would usually bother me.
Bruhhhhh Mercenaries Playground of Destruction OST was top tier nostalgia. Oblivion was such a huge part of my childhood that I can't help but look back on it with nothing but positive thoughts and prayers. Top kek, great video.
@@stardoge6624 sucks how Pandemic was killed off, we’ll never gets Mercs Inc. or whatever it was supposed to be called. I still play Playground of Destruction to this day, it never gets old. World in Flames is great too, different to the first but not in a bad way. I’m trying to get another copy, my 360 copy was scratched up to begin with and many years later, it finally stopped reading.
No way joov I used to watch you when you had like under 1k when you would troll gmod rps which were funny af, I’m glad to see you made it out the trenches. Keep up the good work.
Love your videos as always! And what a great nostalgic one. I loved this game as a kid, and went back to play it recently because of videos like this. It's terrible, but also just as great as I remember it.
Joov... Joov. People saying nice Fable OST and respects to em. But I'm halfway in the video and I swear that is PS2 Bee Movie game OST. I seriously remembered that. (And another. Wow)
I remember one time I was screwing around in the imperial city and did something illegal but really mundane like steal a loaf of bread and this guard started chasing me. I just ignored her and walked out of the city. I turn around halfway across the bridge and see her still following me so I start running to the end of the bridge and start circling around the outer edge of the lake. I get about halfway around and check to see if she's still behind me. When I didn't see her, I traveled to the priory of the 9 to turn in a quest. 10 minutes go by while I'm in there and I come back out. As I go to get on my horse, my character stops and turns around and I come face to face with the same damn guard telling me I'm under arrest 20-25 mins after she started chasing. Employee of the year right there.
wait, if you referring to an imperial guard when you say guard then your entire story is kind of impossible ... since they are all men and you explicitly mention them being female
@@Sleepy_Kitsune I could have sworn she was female. But it was definitely a guard of some kind. It was almost 8 years ago though so I might be remembering wrong. But I remember the guard being female
Immediately after wall glitching through, use the old paintbrush glitch to platform jump back up to the door. That should work for completing the quest.
Getting ready to watch this and thinking "If the sewers, entire island, and arena are all fair game, the Imperial City offers entire small game all by itself."
Technically through glitches you can beat the game by glitching into a hidden door to enter the Molag Bal cutscene. Edit: I meant Mehrunes Dagon, but you ended up doing that anyways lol.
@@VortexKiller2 If you use cheats, you can also use mehrunes damage spell against him and one shot him with it. If you do this, his entire body turns basically into liquid polygons, which you can stretch infinitely.
A friend of mine bought Oblivion and stopped for awhile cause he somehow thought the Imperial City was the only area in the game and he didn’t know what to do. He wasn’t a big rpg fan and the game came free with his Xbox 360 which he was new to at the time. He didn’t realise he could move across the rest or the map in the menu. When I fired it up and fast travelled to Skingrad his mind was blown, and then he proceeded to become a massive elder scrolls fan. :)
So what can you actually do? Main quest: the tutorial. Also you can glitch into the ending. Thieves guild: you can find them and complete the first 2 quests. Dark brotherhood: you can get the quest to join, but not progress it. The Arena: fully playable. Side quests: you can start Order of the Virtuous Blood, Origin of the Gray Prince, The Collector, and maybe Vampire Cure, and complete Buy a House in the Imperial City, Horse Armor, Imperial Corruption, and Unfriendly Competition. An Unexpected Voyage is there but immediately takes you away from the city. Master Training quests: you can start Heavy Armor Training and Security Training, and complete Armorer Training and Sneak Training.
The arena fight with the argonians made me rage quit my first character when I was a kid. I whipped my controller so hard it knocked out the screen of my bedroom window and landed in the yard... good times lol
Omg, just typical you post the vid while im playing Oblivion ... only just started playing it again (and loving it) thanks to your awesome streams on twitch, keep up the awesomeness dude 😎👍
Oblivion came out a few weeks before I graduated high school. I played it nonstop from when I graduated high school to my second year of college. It was such a fun game. Never beat it though. Lol
Fun fact if you get guards to Chase you around and one of the guards kills another guard all the other guards will kill that guard and so on and so forth because they will acquire a bounty
You actually can complete the Golden Galleon mission peacefully. Each member gives you a piece of information about the gang, like where the stash is, how many members, so on. Using that you can persuade your way to the captain, tricking them all into thinking you're a part of the gang and she'll peacefully surrender if you convince her as well. Fantastic mission.
We don’t want whole clips of the grind, but it looks like you already fully understand how important it is to use the footage of it. Even for just a second. It provides us, the audience, with some visual stimuli to match with what you’re saying. More enjoyable that way.
As someone who recently finished a complete play through of Oblivion (last time, I swear!) let me thank you for your sacrifice in grinding AND being region locked just to entertain us. Just FYI: The vampire's name isn't Jakben Incel...it's Jakben Imble, y'know - like the Mother Goose rhyme "Jack be nimble". It's one of the silliest things Bethesda stuck in Oblivion.
Also at 100 illusion you can create a rage spell for levels 25 and up in a 50ft radius, Use chameleon at 100% and watch the city guards and citizens fight to the death.
I've never played Oblivion. Only played Morrowind and Skyrim for different reasons. Love the old graphics of Morrowind and picking flowers/ catching butterflies in Skyrim. But you, nerbit, and RIP mitten squad, do make me think of giving it a try.
My memory in the imperial city is that, no matter what, I will only sell things at the copious coin purse. No idea why as a child that’s what I did, but I did.
Having zero combat major skills is actually easy mode because of level scaling. You can level them as much as you want without your character leveling up and increasing enemy difficulty

Honestly, the Grey Prince has a lot of fascinating lore behind him and I hate that the game pretends like 80% of it doesn't exist at face value. You can just meet him, kill him, and never know anything else is going on there.
What do you mean you hate it? That's honestly the beauty of it, the fact that he's actually a really deep character and some people might just not find that out!
It really is the problem with modern Bethesda that the whole experience just feels spoon-fed, you can't fuck anything up either I'm on accident or on purpose without breaking the game to do so
I loved Skyrim and Oblivion was my very first elder scrolls game but morrowind is honestly where it's at, simply because you can fuck yourself over and make large swaths of the game uncompletable, and the game doesn't fucking stop you or throw up a big heads up to say "hey there was 15 hours of lore here!" The most you get is effectively a "you might regret that later, you might not"
@@KitKatHexe yeah exactly, that's the issue with companies like rockstar, you basically can't miss shit unless you blindfold yourself, even then many game companies prefer to tell rather than show, there is absolutely nothing you can miss in modern games no matter how you play
@@baltejvirk3303 if you like lore that requires you to search for it you might like from soft lore, probably comparable to morrowind in terms of lore maybe even better
@@KitKatHexe Yeah, but Oblivion is built in a really hand-holdy nature, so people playing it are more inclined to assume its just going to outright point to things for you, especially as far as an NPC you're already talking to. Morrowind - which is my favourite game as well - makes it pretty clear early on that you aren't going to be outright shown much of anything and that digging deep is a requirement if you want to see the lore. So I was moreso saying that more people are likely to meet the Grey Prince and know he exists, but also not realize he has much lore because they're more likely to assume if he did, the game would point them at least in some level in the direction of a sidequest. Whereas in a game like Morrowind, you really have to go out of your way to even find NPCs and talk to them. Games like Oblivion and Skyrim make it easy to rush past dialogue and still progress in quests because of the waypoint marker. So I guess in a way, you could argue I prefer the way games like Morrowind make it both a little more difficult to get around easily and require you actually acknowledge the lore to progress in the game.
You guys are all dark souls players, not skyrim
Absolutely amazing video, Oblivion is one of my favorite games of all time, this was a blast to watch
Proud to be a part of your road to 100k subscribers. You consistently put out quality content, you're very entertaining. Honestly, one of the best channels on TH-cam. Thanks for what you do, mate!
When I was playing Oblivion for the first time, I was afraid to leave the city for a while and was trying to make something of myself first.
As I didn't know the game well, I was mostly looting junk items and plants and selling them for a couple of coins to merchants until I stumbled upon Thoronir's quest.
Love the Mercenaries soundtrack in the background. Loved that game as a kid.
What was always funny to me was, the shopkeepers always talked about thornier undercutting prices when he didn’t even sell the same shit they did. 💀
Yknow, since you like the nostalgia posts, I'll give mine. Martin is best boy and I just absolutely loved that he was voiced by Sean Bean, so I never took him to Weynon Priory. I had a 400 hour save where I did everything in the game (except unpriestly things or the main quest) while Martin was my follower. I never progressed the main quest after that, and I just kind of let the save stay, never finished that playthrough. And although Oblivion is my favorite of the series, I don't think I can do another playthrough because it just wouldn't feel the same. I'm happy that I left off on a high note, even though never finishing a playthrough would usually bother me.
Oblivion is that game that no matter how goofy or old it gets, its always makes for good entertainment. happy ur back joov :)
Does the Fable music mean that some Fable content is coming soon? 👀 Glad to see you back! I caught a couple of the streams and they were a blast!
You know what you have to do. Can you play Morrowind without leaving Seyda Neen?
I hate how if you tell the gray prince his history he just wants to commit suicide, but if you fight him he never finds out his history
I’m 13 years old and i can vouch that this game is one of the best open world games I’ve played
Oblivion was also my favourite when I was your age. If you haven’t played fallout new vegas I’d recommend giving it a go it’s really good
Thx
Bruhhhhh Mercenaries Playground of Destruction OST was top tier nostalgia. Oblivion was such a huge part of my childhood that I can't help but look back on it with nothing but positive thoughts and prayers. Top kek, great video.
good to see mercenaries getting some love. wish we could be blessed with a remaster
Was about to comment on the music choice too. Such a great series, and both games OSTs kicked ass in their own ways.
@@ALG2691 agreed. Playing those for the first time was such an awesome experience. I never got bored of playing it
I hope Skyblivion will be playable at some point
@@stardoge6624 sucks how Pandemic was killed off, we’ll never gets Mercs Inc. or whatever it was supposed to be called.
I still play Playground of Destruction to this day, it never gets old.
World in Flames is great too, different to the first but not in a bad way. I’m trying to get another copy, my 360 copy was scratched up to begin with and many years later, it finally stopped reading.
@@ALG2691 world in flames' ending had a little more to be desired but the campaign and features were a blast
No way joov I used to watch you when you had like under 1k when you would troll gmod rps which were funny af, I’m glad to see you made it out the trenches. Keep up the good work.
Love your videos as always! And what a great nostalgic one. I loved this game as a kid, and went back to play it recently because of videos like this. It's terrible, but also just as great as I remember it.
was really looking forward to this one!! was fun to occasionally pop into streams, excited to see how it comes together!! :]
The Fable music may be my favorite part of this video. Thank you for unlocking nostalgia I forgot I had
So when is "Can you play The Shivering Isles, while never leaving New Sheoth"
Watching this after all of the vods from the stream was very cathartic, can’t wait to do the same with the next one!
Joov...
Joov.
People saying nice Fable OST and respects to em.
But I'm halfway in the video and I swear that is PS2 Bee Movie game OST. I seriously remembered that.
(And another. Wow)
Lol I was waiting for someone to say it!
Back in 2007 i had a save where i had lured around 100 scamps into the rat-lady in anvils basement.
Peak gaming
I remember one time I was screwing around in the imperial city and did something illegal but really mundane like steal a loaf of bread and this guard started chasing me. I just ignored her and walked out of the city. I turn around halfway across the bridge and see her still following me so I start running to the end of the bridge and start circling around the outer edge of the lake. I get about halfway around and check to see if she's still behind me. When I didn't see her, I traveled to the priory of the 9 to turn in a quest. 10 minutes go by while I'm in there and I come back out. As I go to get on my horse, my character stops and turns around and I come face to face with the same damn guard telling me I'm under arrest 20-25 mins after she started chasing. Employee of the year right there.
wait, if you referring to an imperial guard when you say guard then your entire story is kind of impossible ... since they are all men and you explicitly mention them being female
@@Sleepy_Kitsune I could have sworn she was female. But it was definitely a guard of some kind. It was almost 8 years ago though so I might be remembering wrong. But I remember the guard being female
@@andrewgilbertson6534 the only female guard i remember is that one from the dark brotherhood quest in layawiin, maybe thats the one who chased you?
Immediately after wall glitching through, use the old paintbrush glitch to platform jump back up to the door. That should work for completing the quest.
Ooo for the Thieves Guild right? Brilliant idea!
@@Joov Yes! That's it!
Getting ready to watch this and thinking "If the sewers, entire island, and arena are all fair game, the Imperial City offers entire small game all by itself."
9:34 This is the standard punishment for lollygagging in the Imperial City.
I haven’t heard “lollygagging” from anyone other than my parents. I was almost convinced they made it up.
@@caracalcontinuum3118 I don't know too much about Oblivion, but guards in Skyrim will tell you to "quit your lollygagging."
we have been blessed on this fine easter sunday
Happy Easter!
He is risen. Sadly, he's also stuck in the Imperial City. Too bad...
Technically through glitches you can beat the game by glitching into a hidden door to enter the Molag Bal cutscene.
Edit: I meant Mehrunes Dagon, but you ended up doing that anyways lol.
Man commented before watching the video
@@harveytomos4959 my confidence was my downfall and thus I lost my gamer card.
@@VortexKiller2
If you use cheats, you can also use mehrunes damage spell against him and one shot him with it. If you do this, his entire body turns basically into liquid polygons, which you can stretch infinitely.
@@lordkrythic6246 Mehrunes Da-gone
A friend of mine bought Oblivion and stopped for awhile cause he somehow thought the Imperial City was the only area in the game and he didn’t know what to do.
He wasn’t a big rpg fan and the game came free with his Xbox 360 which he was new to at the time.
He didn’t realise he could move across the rest or the map in the menu.
When I fired it up and fast travelled to Skingrad his mind was blown, and then he proceeded to become a massive elder scrolls fan. :)
19:03 the Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction theme. Nice.
Edit: Comment made before you acknowledged it's use in video.
So what can you actually do?
Main quest: the tutorial. Also you can glitch into the ending.
Thieves guild: you can find them and complete the first 2 quests.
Dark brotherhood: you can get the quest to join, but not progress it.
The Arena: fully playable.
Side quests: you can start Order of the Virtuous Blood, Origin of the Gray Prince, The Collector, and maybe Vampire Cure, and complete Buy a House in the Imperial City, Horse Armor, Imperial Corruption, and Unfriendly Competition. An Unexpected Voyage is there but immediately takes you away from the city.
Master Training quests: you can start Heavy Armor Training and Security Training, and complete Armorer Training and Sneak Training.
The arena fight with the argonians made me rage quit my first character when I was a kid. I whipped my controller so hard it knocked out the screen of my bedroom window and landed in the yard... good times lol
I'm pretty sure the argonians didn't commit any crimes, they were enslaved because they were argonians and then offered freedom if they killed you
@@Flufferpup well it's like irl, slavery is illegal but it doesn't mean people stopped doing it
bros this is cyrodil not morrowind
Omg, just typical you post the vid while im playing Oblivion ... only just started playing it again (and loving it) thanks to your awesome streams on twitch, keep up the awesomeness dude 😎👍
Running TS1 shopping music beneath the Agamir quest was absolute brilliance. My brain just broke from the nostalgia (yeah, I'm old).
Your videos always help me through hard days keep it up homie
Hope you’re holding up alright. Wishing you well
Oblivion came out a few weeks before I graduated high school. I played it nonstop from when I graduated high school to my second year of college. It was such a fun game. Never beat it though. Lol
Fun fact if you get guards to Chase you around and one of the guards kills another guard all the other guards will kill that guard and so on and so forth because they will acquire a bounty
You actually can complete the Golden Galleon mission peacefully. Each member gives you a piece of information about the gang, like where the stash is, how many members, so on. Using that you can persuade your way to the captain, tricking them all into thinking you're a part of the gang and she'll peacefully surrender if you convince her as well. Fantastic mission.
We don’t want whole clips of the grind, but it looks like you already fully understand how important it is to use the footage of it. Even for just a second. It provides us, the audience, with some visual stimuli to match with what you’re saying. More enjoyable that way.
My instant thoughts on all of these types of videos "well. you can until you have to leave and go somewhere else"
Nearly finished my first ever playthrough of oblivion, just have to do the shivering isles 😍
I love your descriptions, they are just as good as the videos lmao. Great job man, keep it up, and take all the time you need.
The Mercenaries music caught me off guard haha
As someone who recently finished a complete play through of Oblivion (last time, I swear!) let me thank you for your sacrifice in grinding AND being region locked just to entertain us.
Just FYI: The vampire's name isn't Jakben Incel...it's Jakben Imble, y'know - like the Mother Goose rhyme "Jack be nimble". It's one of the silliest things Bethesda stuck in Oblivion.
by azura-By Azura-BY AZURA! ITS THE G R A N D CHAMPION!
Also at 100 illusion you can create a rage spell for levels 25 and up in a 50ft radius,
Use chameleon at 100% and watch the city guards and citizens fight to the death.
it was so fun being a part of these streams! awesome video, joov
I'm playing oblivion right now! I've been waiting for another one of these videos :D
07:39 That Sims 1 build music you've put in the background fits surprisingly well.
Martin Septim really took the initiative on this one.
Oblivion turned 16 recently.
Happy Sweet 16, TES IV!
I've never played Oblivion. Only played Morrowind and Skyrim for different reasons. Love the old graphics of Morrowind and picking flowers/ catching butterflies in Skyrim.
But you, nerbit, and RIP mitten squad, do make me think of giving it a try.
Absolutely earned a sub for the Mercenaries main theme usage.
This idea of yours is fantastic, I wish I'd thought of it. I hope to see more stuff like this, and things similar to this.
Yeah, this game definitely only had 11 voice actors and they're not ashamed to admit that.
My memory in the imperial city is that, no matter what, I will only sell things at the copious coin purse. No idea why as a child that’s what I did, but I did.
i love hes playing oblivion with the fable music in the background
"a fifteen year old RPG"
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
I’ve been really enjoying your channel and challenge series. Keep up the good work!
10:16 I just love how his voice carries over during transition.
It's awesome that that you can literally beat the game in this as well. Paintbrush staircase goes hard
It's nice to see MockyD's family enjoying themselves in the arena🤎 so wholesome
What about play it just in the Shivering Isles? Probably would be fun.
Having zero combat major skills is actually easy mode because of level scaling. You can level them as much as you want without your character leveling up and increasing enemy difficulty
