You basically punch things so goddamn hard that your fists are somehow capable to breach through the fabric of reality and hit the very soul of someone who has already passed away. The mechanisms that must come in action to give meaning to the phrase: "You can punch ghosts" always amaze me.
4:48 40 gold is actually the fine for assaulting someone but not killing them, so it seems you were charged for throwing the first punch, but not the last
When watching the arena fighters outside for a few minutes, you can actually level unarmed. You can do the same with blocking by watching the Blades training in Crt. Plus, the guys outside the arena have a chest that contain a unique armour piece that increases umarmed.
Heck yeah! Been waiting for another oblivion challenge. These are some of my favorites. Also I am once again formally requesting a conjuration only oblivion challenge.
I'm planning to do a playthrough with a Khajiit hand-to-hand only ultimate OP build + touch spells only (at least for the important quests), so I guess that would count. Would be ultra long though because I can't play this game for less than an eternity in a single session, It's become physically impossible after 10 years and uncountable hours of playing it lol
Your challenges always make me want to play the games. "Oblivion" looks really really fun. I'll definitely save up some money and play it. It puts me in mind of "World of Warcraft" and I used to play that game all the time. I really appreciate all your content! It always brightens my day! Have a great day and keep up the amazing work!
My first Oblivion run through was a Saiyan build. Did destruction, restoration, Athletics, Acrobatics, and hand to hand. I also accidentally glitched the game to keep the boots of spring hill jack and made a flight spell. My acro was 250 and i was able to jump into the Arena :o Best run through of all time
Here's how I deal with any enemy that uses magic (excluding conjuration) in oblivion: Spam sprint A and D and "violently stamp your feet" the crude enemy aim prediction overestimates your position so even tho you are staying in place for the most part, the enemy always misses, I did this until they ran out of mp which was signified by them either running away, or engaging in melee combat. This tactic does not work in point blank range, you still need to keep a fair distance from them.
Man you know when you're watching a really good show and then suddenly its the credits and you're like "No way was that 22 minutes what the hell!" because the pacing was done so well and you were hooked to the screen? I swear you've achieved this level of editing at this point, cause every week I'm like "Wait it's over already?!?! that was like 5 minutes!"
I absolutely enjoy coming home and seeing a new video! Everytime you lost it’s something that interests me so much and especially with Pokémon made me do my own challenges!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ONIX LINE. As a kid, I was a big Rock/ground type of guy, Sandshrew and Onix being my favorites. Always makes me sad that a really cool GIANT STONE SNAKE was always done dirty. Super hyped for your next one now.
After all these years, oblivion is still my favorite game...I've played it so much I had a knee jerk reaction to put a bunch of things you could have done but I wont lol... this was a great video, congrats on the run
This is legit the funniest MDB video ever. What an absolute riot from the glitch early on, to absolutely mowing down Mythic Dawn nerds and the Ghost Odyssey.
I would like to see a KOTOR run from you sometime. It's one of my favourite RPG's and I could think of a lot of creative challenges with it (e.g. No armor, no Force Powers, no weapons, no Party Members).
Couple of questions I have about your Oblivion rules. 1) Can you buy anything if you can get it in the world (like the will-o-wisp) 2) If you can take potions to restore your health can you take ones to increase stats 3) Should the difficulty always be middle of the slider (and should you show us the difficulty you choose if no) 4) Can level-ups be forced for sake of interest 5) Should it be forced to make your class as a normal playthrough would 6) Should challenges like fists only let you use companions where optional 7) To not bore you I ask that non-combative skills could be used when stuck for potential big brain plays I don't see many Oblivion challenges but due to the overall glitchy-ness I think it needs more unusual unique rules or guidelines. Thanks for the time and I enjoyed this challenge albeit a bit short for my taste.
I feel like if I were a mage, guarding a room with a bunch of other mages, and this orc came in punching everyone, not caring that he was getting hit with spells, I'd probably run too.
I once had a funny incident with Mankar Camoran. I had just delivered an artifact to Martin at Cloudrunner Temple when I noticed a guy in blue robes standing in the corner. He caught my eye almost immediately since I had never seen this person before... or so I thought. I walked up to him and realized it was good old chap Mankar. I was like "what is _he_ doing here?!" And as if he just heard me saying that, he replied calmly "I'm wating." Seems like he accidentally locked himself out of his paradise and was waiting for us to open our portal XD
It always so satisfying just beating things to death in oblivion with your bare fists, its so hard but so rewarding, my monk build has been the most fun I've had in the game to this day
2:15 Laughed my ass off at that moment. The guard just sees some random nobody from another world just rush at him before being punched to death by them. Terrible fate
A quick note there is a wrist bands in this game you can get that boost hand to hand. There called the band's of kung low if I spelled it right. You get them in a chest next to the two hand to hand fighters you can watch though it is counted as a stolen items.
For future runs similar to this, I personally feel healing magic is fine. Maybe even ward spells. Magic is summoned from your fists, after all. As long as it isn't a direct damaging spell, or an indirect damaging spell(like conjuring creatures or daedra), it's okay in the spirit of the challenge Edit: suggestions for next runs; beating skyrim only using a pickaxe/woodcutter axe, beating oblivion with only the basic flame spell, beating fallout without doing any damage and only letting followers attack, or beating pokemon R/S/E without capturing any pokemon(only gifted pokemon)
MDB, the guy who makes amazing pro wrestling references in his challenges, somehow manages to be the one to not name his character after a wrestler when doing a FISTS only run. Though it makes me wonder if it was intentional so that he can get more comments for the TH-cam algorithm. They are good for it after all!
Hey MDB, I love your pokemon challenges, but damn your non pokemon stuff is awesome! I always look for ward to it every month, I can't wait to see what you do next
Watching you dish out a rapid fire clobbering to all the cultists in the tunnels made my day. Algorithm Idea: Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum with only Shinx to celebrate the Gen 4 remakes.
I would like to see this in Skyrim. Go Khajiit; train heavy armor, smithing, and enchanting; disenchant Gloves of the Pugilist; make Heavy Armor Gauntlets (try for Ebony, but Steel Plate will also work); Lastly, enchant heavy armor gauntlets. Then proceed to punch dragons in the face.
I was JUST thinking recently about how fun it would be to do a fists-only run in Oblivion. I'm mad they took away that skill for Skyrim, honestly. Would've been cool to see a skill tree for unarmed.
Not sure if you know about it, but the 2 people sparring outside the arena have a very hard locked box near them that has an item that fortifies hand-to-hand. I think it's like 20 points as well. Also, if you watch the pair fight for a while, you'll get a few free levels in hand-to-hand
I do still watch pretty much all the pokemon challenges, might have missed a few, but I do love seeing other game challenges here too, fresher than the pokemon ones and more variety for jokes imo
Interestingly enough in pokemon the elemental fist/punches can also also hit ghost types. So all you need to do is have an element around your fist to beat the ghost
This is fricking hilarious, I think I need to re-download Oblivion 🤔 I’d love to see a Pumpkaboo-only run of Sword/Shield when you start doing challenges of later games! I just finished one (using Pokemon Home to trade one early from another switch account) and it was much tougher than I expected - I would love to see your strats for it!

Big agree
Hi Twitter
once you hit 50 in hand to hand your punches can hurt ghosts.
Dude join the mages guild in Bruma then head down stairs in take the glow dust from there. It is free.
“Turns out we can’t punch ghosts.”
Fine, but can you Peck them with your knuckles?
Missed opportunity right there.
Sucker Punch should be super effective
Just use your teeth. I hear that works really well.
You can also throw them
or throw stones at them
Fun Fact: You actually CAN punch ghosts once you reach 50 hand to hand.
sounds about right
I am a bit disappointed I don't get to see him punch ghosts. But level 50 does take a while

Or, if you use foresight before punching.

@@stuartrobertkennedy8608 im aware, but I've been wanting to see mah dry do it since his first oblivion challenge.
Hmm...could we get a paws only run?
That sounds adorable.
I'm planning to do a playthrough with a Khajiit hand-to-hand only ultimate OP build + touch spells only (at least for the important quests), so I guess that would count. Would be ultra long though because I can't play this game for less than an eternity in a single session, It's become physically impossible after 10 years and uncountable hours of playing it lol
And here we see MDB bully a bunch of magic nerds in robes with his bear hands.
"Can't punch ghosts"
Use peck
No use Bite
No use sucker punch
you can find the prisoner again in the tempel in the imperial city. He thanks you for saving him.
New ideas for the algorithm run:
-Tyrogue in Crystal
-Relicant in Emerald
-Gulpin in omega Ruby
yes, Tyrogue is my favourite Pokémon and I love that others are listing him for challenges
Your challenges always make me want to play the games. "Oblivion" looks really really fun. I'll definitely save up some money and play it. It puts me in mind of "World of Warcraft" and I used to play that game all the time. I really appreciate all your content! It always brightens my day! Have a great day and keep up the amazing work!
Having played Skyrim first I never thought I’d play oblivion because “it was so janky”. But tbh, that’s what I embraced and it was so much more fun
If there is one major threat in Oblivion, it is all of those darn vampire gates.
My first Oblivion run through was a Saiyan build. Did destruction, restoration, Athletics, Acrobatics, and hand to hand. I also accidentally glitched the game to keep the boots of spring hill jack and made a flight spell. My acro was 250 and i was able to jump into the Arena :o
Best run through of all time
Here's how I deal with any enemy that uses magic (excluding conjuration) in oblivion:
Spam sprint A and D and "violently stamp your feet" the crude enemy aim prediction overestimates your position so even tho you are staying in place for the most part, the enemy always misses, I did this until they ran out of mp which was signified by them either running away, or engaging in melee combat. This tactic does not work in point blank range, you still need to keep a fair distance from them.
On this episode of MDB:
Orcface McGee has hands of stone and feeds people their teeth.
SHEOGORATH spawns right away at the end of the game? I think you meant Dagon? Like always, really entertaining video, you're doing a good job!
Man you know when you're watching a really good show and then suddenly its the credits and you're like "No way was that 22 minutes what the hell!" because the pacing was done so well and you were hooked to the screen? I swear you've achieved this level of editing at this point, cause every week I'm like "Wait it's over already?!?! that was like 5 minutes!"
I would like to see a HGSS hoppip only run, I chose HGSS because hoppip can actually learn damaging move in that game
I absolutely enjoy coming home and seeing a new video! Everytime you lost it’s something that interests me so much and especially with Pokémon made me do my own challenges!
most ppl: im fists ill avoid people
mdb: im fists ill kill all people.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ONIX LINE. As a kid, I was a big Rock/ground type of guy, Sandshrew and Onix being my favorites. Always makes me sad that a really cool GIANT STONE SNAKE was always done dirty. Super hyped for your next one now.

I guess he should have worn some protection when meeting a strange man in the sewers
Me, sitting here, wondering if he'll find out that Journeyman hand-to-hand lets you fight the googlygooks you normally can't punch down.

i love ur oblivion runs as much as ur pokemon ones! thx for entertaining us
"paradise awaits me"
*falls and dies*
Next Oblivion/Skyrim run suggestion : "Can I beat Oblivion/Skyrim with only Critical Sneak Attacks?"
Couple of questions I have about your Oblivion rules.
1) Can you buy anything if you can get it in the world (like the will-o-wisp)
2) If you can take potions to restore your health can you take ones to increase stats
3) Should the difficulty always be middle of the slider (and should you show us the difficulty you choose if no)
4) Can level-ups be forced for sake of interest
5) Should it be forced to make your class as a normal playthrough would
6) Should challenges like fists only let you use companions where optional
7) To not bore you I ask that non-combative skills could be used when stuck for potential big brain plays
I don't see many Oblivion challenges but due to the overall glitchy-ness I think it needs more unusual unique rules or guidelines. Thanks for the time and I enjoyed this challenge albeit a bit short for my taste.
As previously mentioned, this reminds me so much of when my brother played Skyrim and got so strong he just punched dragons for fun!
Love your runs man! They make my week every week!
You know, one of these days I’m expecting the video just to be the word No for ten minutes.
I feel like if I were a mage, guarding a room with a bunch of other mages, and this orc came in punching everyone, not caring that he was getting hit with spells, I'd probably run too.
I once had a funny incident with Mankar Camoran. I had just delivered an artifact to Martin at Cloudrunner Temple when I noticed a guy in blue robes standing in the corner.

I would really love to see a Spheal only Emerald run. It's my favorite Pokemon and I think it's stats/moveset would make for quite the challenge!
i believe the difficulty spikes every 5 levels. so you can get to lv 4.
It always so satisfying just beating things to death in oblivion with your bare fists, its so hard but so rewarding, my monk build has been the most fun I've had in the game to this day
Was half expecting a "why does Peck affect ghost-type but not horn attack" themed joke when he was said he couldn't punch ghost.
2:15 Laughed my ass off at that moment. The guard just sees some random nobody from another world just rush at him before being punched to death by them. Terrible fate
11:00 "Have to go help Captain Byrd close the Vampire Gate."
I guess Mehrunes Dagon was insisting on a fisting.
Local Shrek Cosplayer travels around the world and punches everyone to death.
That visual bug was genuinely terrifying for absolutely no reason.
the excessive punching of their corpse is the only rational response when insulted like that
I was kinda expecting more issues from this run but, all in all, it seems pretty straight forward. And, as always, awesome video MDB!
AKA, the Chuck Norris Challenge run.
That would be kicks only
Nah not enough roundhouse kicks
Lol
I am so mad that I didn't get notification for this, I've been looking forward to it ever since you announced it.
If the character isn't named after a boxer, I will be disappointed.
But whatever it will be is likely to be hilarious.
That first guard was like, "hi! Welcome to oblivion! We have cookies and drinks on the back ta.... GAAAAUGHHHH!"
*thud*thud*thud*dead*
Pokemon Red with only one Onix?
...My dreams have become reality.
I am in absolute tears laughing at 2:50. 😂😂
Imagine your just vibing with some friends and an orc bursts in and just starts beating the shit out of people

9:40 "Because as you can see"
As a matter of fact, I can't see anything when you're in dark places, so.... I trust your word on that part :p
I love how the arena went from “this will be fun” to “imma make this racist pay”
I would like to see this in Skyrim. Go Khajiit; train heavy armor, smithing, and enchanting; disenchant Gloves of the Pugilist; make Heavy Armor Gauntlets (try for Ebony, but Steel Plate will also work); Lastly, enchant heavy armor gauntlets. Then proceed to punch dragons in the face.
The ultimate throwin hands challenge !
I’ve never played any Elder Scrolls games so I’m pretty confused but it’s MDB so I’m watching it anyway lol

shoutout to MDB for introducing me to oblivon its a really fun game
A suggestion for the next run, use only staffs to attack, use magic and most other things
Oblivion: Punch Club lmao. Great challenge!
You should have punched the ghosts from really high up, that's the ticket.
Not sure if you know about it, but the 2 people sparring outside the arena have a very hard locked box near them that has an item that fortifies hand-to-hand. I think it's like 20 points as well.
Also, if you watch the pair fight for a while, you'll get a few free levels in hand-to-hand
I do still watch pretty much all the pokemon challenges, might have missed a few, but I do love seeing other game challenges here too, fresher than the pokemon ones and more variety for jokes imo
I used to use a boxer in one of my old Oblivion files. It was actually really fun.
When I first started oblivion I chose hand to hand as my build lol
Now do it in Morrowind.
The joke being that fists are stupid good in that game.
"I do not fear death"
*runs away anyway*

2:30
You know, you didn't disallow healing spells, you can just heal while you run.
i played as a Breton who was the son of two powerful mages,and longed to follow in his parent's footsteps by becoming an arch-mage.the only issue is that he had no magical ability and thought something was wrong with him...when in reality he was just a Barbarian class born under the sign of the Atronach without ever realizing it.
Anyways his logic was that since his fist were among the only things other then enchanted weapons and spells that could harm ghosts they were therefore the only way his obviously locked away store of magic could interact with the world around him and his ;making his unarmed attacks magic in nature and started referring to himself punching things as "casting a fist spell"
He'd constantly refer to himself as a master wizard and sell his services as such,only to confuse his employers how thought they hired a mage when he'd run head first into battles yelling 'I CAST FIST!!' and start punching minotaurs to death..
Never underestimate the effectiveness of the ol' one-two!

Oblivion challenge idea (might've posted it before):
Can you beat Oblivion without Speechcraft, Mercantile, Atheletics or Acrobatics?
That means no persuasion or bribing, no selling or buying, no jumping and no running or swimming.
Further limits optional.
