"Sometimes the game works, sometimes it doesn't" For anyone who hasn't played Oblivion, that's not just for the speedrun. That's how the base game is even in a casual playthrough
Literally describing a good 85% of Bethesda games. especially Elder Scrolls games. Sometimes they work and sometimes they completely broken to the point of not being able to do anything.
@@Buttington_Headerson I locked myself out of the Thieves Guild guildmaster armor by doing the main TG quest without knowing there were special missions hidden behind radiant thefts, I borked two sidequests going in and clearing random dungeons, I've had to google a New Vegas quest to use a glitch to bypass a bugged queststage, and I died jumping into a cabbage cart on my first Skyrim playthrough and learned to use movable drums to kill people without consequences in Fallout 3, sooooooo... Yeah, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sheogorath visits every Bugthesda game eventually.
ahh yes, just praying in the secret cave chambers with my cult buddies *BLUE HIGH ELF LEAPS ACROSS ROOM, LANDS ON SACRED BOOK, STEALS BOOK, LEAPS BACK OUT OF ROOM, TELEPORTS INTO NON-EXISTENCE* u-uh... okay.. what!? >_>
I can just imagine the field day of any citizen who watches this hideous high elf drop over a hundred bottles of skooma, and then zip off to wherever the fuck.
this dude finished the game in half n hour, took me 2 hours to kill the invisible troll at level 5 and about 30 minutes each new dungeon i entered hahah \
@@rastas_4221 I know that, I was just saying because I remember when I first ever played back in like 2014 or something hahah and the first thing I done was look up, unique weapon locations
Great run to watch! AGDQ has much better runner interaction with them just streaming from home this year. A little of the ~magic~ is lost of the crowd, but it's made for great videos so far.
Great run, good commentary from the runner - a suggestion to the couch: don't forget the runner isn't talking to you, they are mostly talking to the audience, and so should you. There were a lot of chuckles and "uhhuh", "sure" comments that didn't add a lot and seemed to forget everyone was being recorded.
Basically the game saves certain things and can even save them through different saves. One of those things is your inventory and your quest progression. So by tricking the game into keeping your inventory and bringing it to the save at the other location you can effectively teleport. This works because you trigger a loading screen by opening a door and at the same time you pause and load the quicksave that has the inventory you need. Because you triggered changing locations through the door, the game for some reason takes the inventory you have from the quicksave because you triggered it's loading as well and transfers it over to the other save at the location you want. Don't know if that made any more sense and am basing it off the very basic knowledge I have about oblivion speed runs so I might have gotten some of that wrong.
Oblivion is really quirky and silly. As long as you stay away from the main quest line, there is some pretty good writing and some really fun quests. It's definitely an enjoyable experience, and worth a second shot!
I think it's possible to build a character that will have a lot of trouble finishing the game so you've gotta be a bit careful with your build. I remember fucking up a run of it once.
If you do that (don't remember if you actually need to use the paintbrushes or not) it involves going out of bounds, and this is a No Out of Bounds run. But that run is like 5 minutes total or something. It's basically just get through the tutorial (which I think you can do faster going out of bounds, as well), and then go to the citadel or whatever in Imperial City. There's a door out of bounds beneath the map that you can clip to and go through, and it takes you to the final room where Martin does his mantling thing and the game's over. You literally just do the tutorial in that run, so it's less interesting.
Isn't it possible to simply clip through the centar building of the capital and initiative the finale battle, basically skipping like more then half of this speed run? I swear i remember seeing a run do that in the past.
Realtalk why was the intro saying High Elf when he clearly chose dark elf? Is that just a standard oblivion bug or did he perform a glitch to choose both races?
in speedrunning "out of bounds" means exiting the normal boundary that a player would be able to access in a level. examples might include bypassing an invisible wall, going to areas that players are never supposed to access, clipping through walls/doors/floors, etc. In oblivion specifically there are some hidden doors under the ground or behind walls that you can't access without glitching through the floor/wall. one of these hidden doors is accessible in imperial city within minutes of starting the game and brings you to the version of imperial city that is under siege at the very end of the game, bypassing almost the entire run, so "no out of bounds" runs are (to me at least) more fun and interesting
For the convos he initiates he has left click bound to scroll wheel, so he scrolls super fast and it rapidly skips all the dialogue. For other dialogue such as scripted dialogue between two characters he quick saves and quick loads.
It only applies to the major cities, and it makes perfect sense as your character already lives here. It's also not much different in Skyrim since all you do is pay the carriage guy 20 bucks to take you to them.

@@React2Quick i rarely have problems with any Bethesda game made after oblivion

I’m so glad they did oblivion at gdq again just for skooma strats.
I like this chill vibe and being an informative runner. Good job on the run!
'If you just run towards the ceiling,' is definitely one of those sentences you only hear from an Elder Scrolls speedrun
ahh yes, just praying in the secret cave chambers with my cult buddies *BLUE HIGH ELF LEAPS ACROSS ROOM, LANDS ON SACRED BOOK, STEALS BOOK, LEAPS BACK OUT OF ROOM, TELEPORTS INTO NON-EXISTENCE* u-uh... okay.. what!? >_>
Future oblivion speedruns will just be opening/closing the same door 600 times and walking into the end cutscene
love this game gald to see a more recent speed run on it!!!!
Destroying an Oblivion Gate without walking through the oblivion area.... It just works!
Oblivion runs are always a treat, this one is no exception. FANTASTIC explanations of the run and great execution, really a joy to watch! Well done!
I like that the tutorial is like a quarter of the run lol
I can just imagine the field day of any citizen who watches this hideous high elf drop over a hundred bottles of skooma, and then zip off to wherever the fuck.
I love this route! I honestly forgot how straightforward the main storyline is, lol
Not even a minute into the run and he's already head-butted a ribcage through a wall just for fun. What a game!
Someone should get TerminalMontage to animate this.
Oh gawd yes, definitely
this dude finished the game in half n hour, took me 2 hours to kill the invisible troll at level 5 and about 30 minutes each new dungeon i entered hahah

Oblivion always in my heart
One of my favorite games as a kid. Really good memories
it´s amazing to me that after such a long time, there are still new strats being developed.
Great run to watch!

The potion/skooma drinking sound makes me uncomfortable. lol.
**rapidly bobbing head**
yeah, i have no idea why, but it just irks me.
Good chill vibes with this run, well done!

Getting Patrick Stewart to voice the Emperor in Oblivion was the best decision Bethesda ever made
Great run :^)
unfortunatly my english is not good enough to understand what he did with all this save/loads/doors tricks :(
English is my first language and I still don't understand, don't worry lol

@@tristananderson8165 thx :D
Great guy!
This 100% entertainment
I played oblivion years ago but never got into it. I'm inspired to revisit this game now!
You definitely should. It’s one hell of an experience.

I quietly clap and cheer when they do the countdown for the culture.
i like this layout of gdq
I saw something about using paintbrushes to sequence break to the end cut scene. How come he didn't do that?
If you do that (don't remember if you actually need to use the paintbrushes or not) it involves going out of bounds, and this is a No Out of Bounds run. But that run is like 5 minutes total or something. It's basically just get through the tutorial (which I think you can do faster going out of bounds, as well), and then go to the citadel or whatever in Imperial City.

Oblivion just never gets old

That's going out of bounda, this is a no out of bounds run.
I couldn't follow what happened, did a new speed tech allows skipping the last oblivion gate? That was my favourite part of the run.
you're right martin, that wasn't much of a speech
Why does he open the menu to drink the skooma instead of binding it to a hotkey?
He hotkeys 4 skooma, then opens the menu to drink another 4. If you only use a hotkey the game won't let you stack more than 5.
Topazd wow cool, I didn’t know that
he explains it at 9:35
wow this game looks easy and not at all broken
Lockpicking reality
Realtalk why was the intro saying High Elf when he clearly chose dark elf? Is that just a standard oblivion bug or did he perform a glitch to choose both races?
They just made their skin blue.
Could someone explain what "no out of bounds" mean? I am noob if it comes to speedruns.
I think it means not glitching through walls to skip some areas or doors.
Go check out the any% OOB speed run of this game. It's only a couple minutes and all will make sense.
in speedrunning "out of bounds" means exiting the normal boundary that a player would be able to access in a level. examples might include bypassing an invisible wall, going to areas that players are never supposed to access, clipping through walls/doors/floors, etc.
In oblivion specifically there are some hidden doors under the ground or behind walls that you can't access without glitching through the floor/wall. one of these hidden doors is accessible in imperial city within minutes of starting the game and brings you to the version of imperial city that is under siege at the very end of the game, bypassing almost the entire run, so "no out of bounds" runs are (to me at least) more fun and interesting
Does someone know how he skips all those conversations so fast? Please?
He said he binds it to his scroll wheel so he can spam through it 2:08
He binds left mouse click to scroll wheel. Probably is one of those mouse with smooth/free scroll but the normal ones should work the same way.
For the convos he initiates he has left click bound to scroll wheel, so he scrolls super fast and it rapidly skips all the dialogue. For other dialogue such as scripted dialogue between two characters he quick saves and quick loads.
He has left click bound to scrolling.
It was always dumb that you could fast travel in this game before even visiting what you fast travel to.
It only applies to the major cities, and it makes perfect sense as your character already lives here. It's also not much different in Skyrim since all you do is pay the carriage guy 20 bucks to take you to them.
