Oblivion: Remastered

[rough bone]

Hope you all are doing well and getting plenty of loot

(Or else)

[umbral girder]

Your guy looks great

Ngl

High Elf?

[rough bone]

Yessir

[umbral girder]

It looks fantastic

The default model is so meh

[rough bone]

Vozgoth is a arrogant, shrewd and distasteful shitlord of a man. He has to look the part.

[umbral girder]

I basically just used the default dark elf

[rough bone]

Well let's see em

[umbral girder]

One sec

[rough bone]

Man looks military made

[umbral girder]

Definitely

[rough bone]

Proper tough

[umbral girder]

I usually go with the top pony tail elf style hair but they made it so poofy in this game now I can't stand it

[rough bone]

It is a bit puffed

[umbral girder]

For some reason captain savilan won't go into the castle

Keeps saying charge the courtyard even tho we killed everything

[errant cobalt]

Ignore him, go to the counts room and retrieve the ring

This will forward him to the next quest stage

[umbral girder]

Damn ok

[rough smelt]

That worried me when it happened to me

[errant cobalt]

Oblivion just needs some brute force sometimes lmao

[wispy wing]

I got scared too, but at least it's fine.

[rough smelt]

I thought of doing that on my own luckily but still

Should I become a vampire along as fire dosent touch me ill be fine

[umbral girder]

Sun light

Pretty sure the sun damages you during the day if you don't drink blood for a bit

[rough smelt]

Yeah but there's tons of pepole to drink from

[umbral girder]

I was in the woods when the thing triggered so I got stuck in a cave

In the original game

[rough smelt]

I can get the cattle feed from that dlc home and feed around towns

[errant cobalt]

The issue is daytime exploration becomes non existent

[rough smelt]

I chould try and make a item that heals me constantly

[rough bone]

Its a lot of fun, but not for everyone

If you keep fed Im pretty sure sunlight doesn't hurt you

[errant cobalt]

No it always does I think, just enough to ping no fast travelling

[rough smelt]

First stage you have zero damage

That's why you'd want to feed is to have zero sun damage

[rough bone]

Im pretty sure it doesn't if you don't go past the first or pre stage, yeah

The more normal you look the less damage you take

Elder scrolls vampires are built different

[mellow pine]

Real glow up is on the orcs!

Green is bezt!

[rough smelt]

Argoians got a big glowup

[wispy wing]

Do the free skill increases from seeing the blades spar and the two unarmed guys in the arena no longer work?

[lilac orbit]

I'm gonna try to repair my game files

Maybe something f'd up so my game runs like trash

[lilac orbit]

Yeah argonians look way better

[tranquil mountain]

@devout rain Hi - you can just link the mods directly from Nexus in this channel. File sharing or advertising file sharing (even through DMs) isn’t allowed here.

[umbral girder]

I find a few of my main quests been bugged in some stages

[devout rain]

Oh I assumed it wouldn’t be allowed since I got told I can’t post a gif or image in lfg channels and stuff, I’ll send them tomorrow I’m tired (it’s 9:30PM for me)

Funny enough my cousin gifted me 2 steam gift cards so I could renew my 76 subscription as thanks lmao

[versed linden]

Good news chat

My brother will be gone this weekend

So I will be able to play the remake on the Xbox

[devout rain]

“Mom says it’s my turn on the Xbox” ah moment

[versed linden]

My brother is younger than me lol, I just have a laptop and he doesn't

And since I use it for most games I play, I don't ever need the Xbox

But since the Oblivion Remaster is

1. On gamepass
   And 2) Not gonna run on my thing
   I am gonna use it

[devout rain]

Did I stutter?

[devout rain]

what gpu does your laptop have? just curious

[versed linden]

Idfk bro

It's not a gaming laptop

[devout rain]

is it a windows laptop?

[versed linden]

It's one of those default ass Silver HP laptops

But using my magical powers I get it to run modded Skyrim

[devout rain]

you can right click the empty space on your taskbar to access task manager, go to performance and it'll tell you your gpu and cpu etc

[devout rain]

if you can manage THAT on a hp laptop (the silver one especially, they were horrible in terms of pc specs)

[versed linden]

GPU says "Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics" and CPU says "11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @2.40GHz"

P sure this is pretty bad

I've had it for like 3 years

I'm just broke and can't get a better one

[devout rain]

There is a chance you could run oblivion remaster with the stability mods I mentioned earlier + more + XeSS on ultra perforamnce mode in the ingame options

[devout rain]

the cpu is manageable but I'm flabbergasted that your able to run modded skyrim with an integrated intel gpu

[devout rain]

wait is there 2 gpus? Gpu 0 and 1?

or just the intel

cuz intel gpu's are usually intergrated with the cpu, its like having a small disposable flashlight duct taped to a AR-15 cuz you cant afford an actual flashlight attachment lmao

[devout rain]

just using that as an example, not looking to endorse, defend or discuss gun control politics

[versed linden]

Just the intel lol

[versed linden]

I don't use graphics mods because I think they look wack, and the game is a bit laggy, but it runs decent enough to play

[devout rain]

are you playing the og skyrim (aka oldrim/legendary edition) or Skyrim SE/AE?

[versed linden]

I have AE yeah

[devout rain]

I mean get the good up to date modern ones and optimize accordingly you'll be set

[versed linden]

I'll do more when I get a better computer lol

[devout rain]

My current Vanilla+ Skyrim AE modlist is capable of running on my old RX 580 (the 4GB cut in half version, not the 8GB standard) so I think you'd run it fine

its not like crazy graphics mods, just overhauls existing graphics to be better optimized and look improved

not like it makes it look like the Oblivion remaster

[versed linden]

I honestly think the vanilla skyrim se graphics are reasonably fine lol

I dont care too much about visuals in games tbh

I do play Morrowind after all

[devout rain]

https://incaplinca.github.io/Dragonborns-Fate/intro.html

try this, its a great base guide to follow to learn basics of modding and some tricks most people who aren't mod creators wouldnt be able to figure out unless they follow the guide, its meant to be used as a base to add your own mods on top of later

and won't make the graphics look crazy new, I'd describe the graphics with the modlist as "what I think of/remember skyrim looks like in my head"

[versed linden]

I've used it, it's discontinued unfortunately but still works relatively well

I use other bases tho

I've found a few on reddit and things

[devout rain]

the guide's developed and made by a great team of modders of alot of bethesda games, I bet 90% of people who mod any bethesda game have downloaded 2-5 mods made by each dev before

[devout rain]

Always check date cuz some old knowledge that people follow before doesn't apply now or was proven wrong over time

oh boy the doom slayer is typing

[versed linden]

I know, I try to use something made no more than a year before

Try to keep it within 6 months

[solemn lark]

I made a female Argonian and named her Lusty and made a custom class and named said class maid. So I’m Lusty The Argonian Maid. Im sorry I couldn’t resist

[versed linden]

Awful

But thank you

[devout rain]

oh its ok to use old things, just make sure its compatible is all by reading the posts in nexus or if you know how check xEdit to check manually

[versed linden]

It's whatever, I'm not on the Skyrim grind anymore rn

I mostly mod NV these days

But anyway

Oblivion

[wispy wing]

Ok so it does still work.

[versed linden]

Nice

[solemn lark]

For?

[devout rain]

my friend made a personal mod to retexture one of the random books in the dead space remaster to be that book

[versed linden]

When I play this weekend I'm gonna try and do Hammer Time

And get Volendrung

[devout rain]

@solemn lark did you preorder Dark ages?

[solemn lark]

I got the Collectors Edition, The Helmet, regular controller and getting another and console wrap

Im all in baby

It sucks OR isnt getting mod support

PC I already know they can get around it but I’m on console so I won’t have suck luck.

[lilac orbit]

Welp, no matter what I do or how low I set my settings this game stuttering to hell and back

Mind you ultra or high is fine for the most part until combat starts oof

Might just have to wait for Skyblivion @rough smelt, really not finding this experience as enjoyable as I'd hoped rip

[versed linden]

L

[lilac orbit]

All of my combat experiences are like this rip

Other than that, it's usually 60fps 90% of the time with the occasional stutter

[rough smelt]

The stuttering hurts me

[rough bone]

I thought I was the evil one

[tiny brook]

I FINALLY GOT IT

[mellow pine]

congrats

good game

enjoy

[tiny brook]

What should I play as

I only play the original oblivion for 10 minutes anyone got suggestions?

[mellow pine]

did you play skyrim?

region tends to have native as a main character but you play who you like the most. Otherwise, go for imperial

[versed linden]

Race hardly matters

Just go for what looks cool

[lilac orbit]

Aight so I think I understand the new leveling system

Minor skills still give you XP to level up, but just barely

[buoyant crystal]

Yeah, I've leveled up with a minor skill.

[lilac orbit]

I'm farming illusion rn

[versed linden]

They literally combined the Morrowind and Oblivion leveling

[lilac orbit]

Pretty much

I might restart my playthrough and go with a Bosmer instead of a Breton

I find myself using magic less and stealth and bows more

All roads lead to stealth archer

[lilac orbit]

What's a good name for a Bosmer?

[tiny brook]

Ofc

[versed linden]

Use a name generator

That's what I do

[tiny brook]

Which birth sign should I go for as a spell sword

[versed linden]

Warrior or Mage probably

[lilac orbit]

Went Zireael cause why not lel

[versed linden]

I don't remember the Oblivion sign effects tho tbh

I am more familiar with the Morrowind ones

[buoyant crystal]

The Lord is pretty good. Just a free 15 armor and 15% magic resist.

[versed linden]

I'm gonna do Hammer Time when I play

[lilac orbit]

What sign y'all think would pair well with a Bosmer?

I'm thinking of doing a conjuring stealth archer

[versed linden]

Maybe

[tiny brook]

Does this look good for spell sword

[wispy wing]

Fellow Breton I see.

[buoyant crystal]

Breton Brotherhood

[mellow pine]

elf armor looks so bad in oblivion haha

i think the skyrim version was the sweet spot

[drifting kite]

Yes 200 years between the two games will definitly make the armor change

[rough bone]

Head on in, dude

[zinc zenith]

Took dieting too far

[drifting kite]

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

[keen whale]

I'm curious if the remake will crash if your bounty is too high

That was a glitch I got alot in the original version

My bounty for anyone curious

[green bane]

Have you considered avoiding bounties..?

[loud patrol]

Yeah uhhh be good?

[rough smelt]

Have you considered going to jail

[rough bone]

Take me to jail. I don't give a heck.

[keen whale]

Mhm that fixes the bug

[rough smelt]

You look look like you use skooma

[green bane]

Gotta be on somethin to get that kinda bounty

[rough smelt]

Anyone exuse feel bad when you commit order 66 during that questline

Just got shadowmere

Trying to get the infamy questliens out of the way before I do knights of the nine

Ignoring the dadric theart and doing side quests like a normal person

[wispy wing]

Has anyone figured out how the fuck sneak attacks work now?

And why I keep getting 1× damage sneak attacks.

Despite having my sneak be nearly 50.

[wispy wing]

Oblivion Elven Armour is supposed to be the Ayleid style, while Skyrim is the Thalmor style.

Oh yeah, managing to kill a Guard is good for both Light and Heavy Armour users early on.

City Guards tend to wear Chainmail, which is decent until Mithril, and Imperiel Guard Armour is a decent Heavy Armour early on until Dwarven.

[solemn lark]

The only downside.

[eager sinew]

The difficulty spike between expert and adept is actually insane

You go from like 3 shotting something to fighting for your life against it

Also aim assist doesnt even seem to do anything

On PC atleast

[wispy wing]

Tf you mean aim assist?

[eager sinew]

The aim assist setting

Or else aiming with a controller is near impossible

[rough smelt]

I know right

I 3 shoot enemies then you're the one getting three shooted

[eager sinew]

Ya I turned it to expert in the sewers and those goblin skirmishers were destroying me

And I tried the first Arena fight and I was like barely scratching her health bar

I even used my Ancestral Guardian lol

[rough smelt]

Merchentile levels up so much easier

[eager sinew]

I feel like alot of things do now

OG Oblivion leveling was so confusing at first

So glad they took a risk and changed it

[rough smelt]

Merchtile leveled by things sold not by cost

In og

So if you wanted to level good you needed to sell things one at a time

[rough bone]

Blazing straight daedric shadow grown dark evil pack

[eager sinew]

Ya thats dumb lol good change indeed

Finally beat First Arena fighter on expert at lvl 3 just had to spam Restoration Spells and use my Ancestral Guardian then strike em like 50 times with my sword

[lilac orbit]

I think I've optimized my game to the best of my abilities

[wispy wing]

Mercantile XP is now an ever increasing slope.

Because higher mercantile means higher prices on sold shit.

[lilac orbit]

SSR - On
View Distance - Medium
Effects - High
Foliage - Low
Shadow - Low (This and the latter I genuinely see no visual difference except a
slight one when they're on ultra)
Global Illumination - Medium/High
Texture - High/Ultra (Depends on how much VRAM you got)
Reflections - Medium
Post Processing - High
Hair - High
Cloth - Medium
Lumen - Off
DLSS/FSR - Native/Quality

Getting a solid 120 capped everywhere

Which is surprising since my current GPU is barely on the high end side

Y'all found any bugs yet? I'm finding a few of them from time to time

[wispy wing]

Just the stealth attack one.

[rough bone]

I had a container in a ruin that I kept trying to unlock with a spell and it wouldn't even react. Everything else was able to spell opened though.

[lilac orbit]

I've noticed when you get hit with magic there's a chance the visual effect will remain

For the most part it's fixed by just unequipping and reequipping your stuff tho

[wispy wing]

That was a thing in the original too.

Just carry the skeleton key or some lockpicks if a spell can't unlock something.

[lilac orbit]

Honestly, having thunder arrows is cool as hell though

[rough bone]

It really is

[wispy wing]

Oblivion is cool af now.

I remember how the lava was almost blinding on Xbox One/X before.

[rough bone]

Sometimes if I get the visual bug I just keep it like that bit of shivering isles where you can be on fire forever.

[wispy wing]

[lilac orbit]

It was cool of Bethesda to drop it with the DLCs for free

[rough bone]

Oh deffo

And its great looking

[wispy wing]

I'm almost armourer rank 75.

That means more damage and protection across the board.

[lilac orbit]

I immediately went for sneak 100 lel

[rough bone]

I got all my initial mage stuff done last night so I can speed run to Manimarco's robes

[lilac orbit]

Also, I noticed that some furniture items have bigger hitboxes than you'd expect

[rough smelt]

I need to rank up my armor

[eager sinew]

Just got attacked by an invisible wolf

[rough bone]

Near a ruin?

[lilac orbit]

The captain on the first mission the Dark Brotherhood gives you, I tried to stab him from behind while he was on his chair

I kept hitting the chair bruh

I tried a bow, the arrow was suspended in air lmao

[rough smelt]

I'm thinking about just rushing the rest of the brotherhood or fighters guild sense they got not much reweardd left

[rough bone]

Lmao

"The fuck was that? Eh. Probably nothing."

[lilac orbit]

God- I love how intuitive the combat is now

Enemy hit reactions make the game feel so much better

[eager sinew]

Some fort I think ya

[rough bone]

Mmhmmm. The combos feel good

[eager sinew]

Near exhuasted mine

Ya the power attack combos are amazing

[rough bone]

Yeah, there's a fort of invisible enemies

[eager sinew]

Thought it was a bug lol

[rough bone]

Its tied to a quest with a nearby village

[lilac orbit]

Dungeon diving feels so much better now

Did they make the caves slightly larger too? They feel less claustrophobic

[wispy wing]

You can still savescum to get the sigil stones you want.

[lilac orbit]

Here's the visual effect bug I was talking about

I've been glowing blue for the past 20 minutes

[wispy wing]

Doesn't bug me too much at least.

[lilac orbit]

Thunder arrows are cool

[wispy wing]

55k gold, still living in Waterfront House

Might buy Anvil house soon.

[rough smelt]

I been upgrading the dlc homes but I should buy the anvil house for the qiest

[wispy wing]

I forgot about the DLC homes, huh.

How do you start the quests now?

[lilac orbit]

Is jensine still a bit annoying?

[rough smelt]

You hear about them in rumors or you can just walk straight there

[wispy wing]

Alright.

[rough smelt]

I found some skooma in a cave time to get fucked up

[rough bone]

My man

[wispy wing]

Somebody was making a comment the other day about Security being ass in the Imperial City Sewers.

This is right outisde Chorrol's gate.

[rough bone]

We smokin skooma and worshipin' daedra over here

[wispy wing]

A fucking minotaur.

[rough smelt]

Why whould they need security in the sewers anywas

[rough bone]

He just wants to come in to the city

Let the boi in

[wispy wing]

The abundance of zombies, vampires, goblins, etc.

God I forgot about oblivion escort quests.

How fucking suicidal the people you're trying to escort are.

[lilac orbit]

NPC jank is still here, lovely

Stops grave robbers

"STOP, YOU'VE VIOLATED THE LAW!"

[rough smelt]

Let me quess you attacked first

[lilac orbit]

Clean arrow shot to the head lel

[rough smelt]

"Dont worry grave robbery is punishable by death"

[lilac orbit]

Goddamn they made it much harder to level up skills lel

[rough smelt]

Grandma's house got a obilvon gate next to it to bad ill be closing the gate of life

Gonna close it tho gotta look good incase someone looks for her

[rough bone]

Smart

We love to see it

[solemn lark]

Im experiencing a glitch in first person where I am 2ft taller than everyone else

[rough smelt]

Same

[lilac orbit]

I still find it funny that an Oblivion gate spawns right next to the headquarters of the Knights of the Nine lmao

Imagine leaving hell to end up somewhere worse for you

[rough smelt]

Doom guy lite is just waiting on the otherside for you

[lilac orbit]

That pretty much is the equivalent of being a random creature from the planes of Oblivion walking through the gate only to end up facing 8 knights of the nine divines and the holy crusader.

[solemn lark]

They need a bust slider. For Immersion….

[rough smelt]

Sureeee

[lilac orbit]

I've been sitting for an hour, trying to farm sneak

They made this take way longer than before oof

[solemn lark]

You just sit in one place crouched?

[rough smelt]

I like how they dident even change the text for the upgrade switch on armorer

[lilac orbit]

Yep, inn of ill omen

Just walking into a wall

[lilac orbit]

In actuality, this is literally just Oblivion using UE5 as a visual overlay

The systems themselves are pretty much just the original Oblivion

[solemn lark]

You on console or PC?

[lilac orbit]

Like, walking into a wall, my character doesn't move, and yet my sneak goes up lmao

[lilac orbit]

PC

[rough smelt]

You can repair magic at level 25 repair in this unlike in the classic obilvom but they just used the text saying you're a journeyman

[solemn lark]

Cant you just put something heavy on your keys to keep your character walking into a wall while you go out and do something?

Like some little rocks or lots of pocket change

[rough smelt]

There's the auto run button

[lilac orbit]

I'm kinda itched by the fact that they still didn't have items go unlevelled

Ye, I'm just saying it takes a long time

Levelling seems to take longer than the original

[rough smelt]

I'm allready level 17

[lilac orbit]

I'm only at 75 sneak rn

[lilac orbit]

Skills I mean

[rough smelt]

I mean skills effect levels

[lilac orbit]

Levelling itself is much faster due to the fact that minor skills also affect your XP now

Gonna be another hour or two till my character reaches 100 sneak

[rough smelt]

Is there a point of major skills becides the boost

[lilac orbit]

They give more XP it seems

Aside from that and the initial skill boost, nah

I'm gonna go make some coffee, it's 5:00AM

[rough smelt]

I made sneak a major gotta find a place to level it

[lilac orbit]

In of ill omen is nice so far

[rough smelt]

I killed the old man if that's what you need

[lilac orbit]

Either the inn itself or Rufius' bedroom downstairs since he sleeps for like, 20 hours a day

[wispy wing]

I might grind my stealth soon.

Almost level 19 now so I can go get Hatreds' Soul.

Then I won't need any other bow.

[rough smelt]

Isent hatreds soul that super out of place bow

[wispy wing]

Wym?

It just uses the Daedric model.

[rough smelt]

I meant where you get it

[wispy wing]

It's in Oblivion.

The one with the Towers of Calamity or something.

[rough smelt]

I hope es6 gives stuff other then swords love

[lilac orbit]

I don't much like the Daedric bows, they weigh a lot

I like that one frost bow you can get up in the mountains

[rough bone]

Daedric is deffo heavy

[rough smelt]

Shadowhunt is a decent lightweight bow

[rough bone]

Shadowhunt is boss

[lilac orbit]

Kinda counter intuitive for a light stealth character to carry a heavy af bow lmao

[lilac orbit]

Ain't that the db reward?

[rough smelt]

Yea

[rough bone]

The weight in the daedric bow is from the amount of death it can cause

[rough smelt]

But some murder dosent hurt Anybody

[lilac orbit]

Can't remember which dagger was the best

Was it the awakened Blade of Woe of that other blade they give you?

[wispy wing]

Hatreds' Soul weighs 12 units.

[rough smelt]

Sufferhorn is a good dagger allso db

[wispy wing]

Less than a glass bow.

[rough bone]

We do love sufferthorn

[wispy wing]

[lilac orbit]

Yeah, can't remember if it was sufferthorn or blade of woe

[wispy wing]

Daggers are unironically kinda ass at stealth attacks.

[lilac orbit]

Honestly daggers are pretty useless for my playthrough since I pretty much aim to kill people in one shot,

[lilac orbit]

Might as well use a sword lmao

[rough smelt]

Shortswords

[wispy wing]

It's base damage that you want.

[rough bone]

I just wanna play oblivion but my buddy is like: ay, you wanna hang out?

Soon, my vampire prince. Soon I shall make you perfect.

[lilac orbit]

Daggers in Skyrim were actually pretty good

Loved the Blade of Woe and Mehrunes Razor

[rough smelt]

15x backstab with the dark brotherhood gloves making it 30

[rough bone]

The Razor is deffo fun

[lilac orbit]

I really hope Skyblivion keeps stealth op

It was fun

[wispy wing]

In Oblivion all melee weapons get 6×.

Also stealth attacks are weird rn in the remake.

[lilac orbit]

Yeah, same from my experience

The larger furniture hitboxes also don't help

Shot an arrow at a dude sitting on a chair, the arrow was stuck floating in air bruh

[wispy wing]

I think it's struggling to make sure if your stealth skill is high enough to get the bonus or something.

[rough smelt]

Makes having high luck viable

[rough bone]

Mmhmmm

We love randomly killing dudes

[wispy wing]

Luck can actually be raised now.

Unlike before.

[lilac orbit]

Still, we have to give Bethesda props, compared to all the other "Remasters" out there, Oblivion feels less like a remaster and more of a remake, which is good.

[rough bone]

It is very good

[lilac orbit]

I mean, it still is a remaster and you can't really call it a remake, but it does feel like one.

[wispy wing]

Tbh the Studio that helped Bethesda make this also worked on Dead Island 2.

[rough smelt]

The razor insta death change is higher with luck

[wispy wing]

Which I also enjoyed.

[lilac orbit]

This just fueled up my hype for Skyblivion, I'm happy Bethesda is supporting it.

My only real problem with the remaster is that UE5 is really difficult to optimize.

Some graphics settings look damn near identical or have little to no visual difference between low and ultra despite eating up 10-15% of your performance

[keen whale]

I feel like they gave the devs free keys to get them to stop making the mod lol

[rough smelt]

They chould have just shutted down the mod if they wanted them to stop

[errant cobalt]

Bethesda won't lose profit from skyblivion

You need skyrim to play that mod

So people buy skyrim or buy oblivion

[rough smelt]

Didn't they say you allso needed og obilvon aswell

[lilac orbit]

Yeah, OG Oblivion is the source of the voice and some of the sound effects

They might actually utilize the remaster now as well since it has new voices and sound effects

[lilac orbit]

Took a while, finally at 100 sneak

[wispy wing]

Almost level 19.

Then I can go to Chorrol and get Hatreds' Soul.

Daedric Bows weight 22 units and Hatreds' Soul only weighs 12.

But it does more base damage and has an even better enchantment at its best variant (19+).

[lilac orbit]

I feel as though at level 12 I'm supposed to be stronger than this lel

Weapons be dealing barely any damage rip

[wispy wing]

I think you can get Dwarven weapons at this stage.

And if you're fast enough you may be able to stunlock and kill Umbra with the Blackwater Blade.

Wait, elven might spawn too.

Glass weapons is after level 15 or so.

[lilac orbit]

Ok I am definitely too weak for my level

NPCs be oneshotting enemies that take me 15-20 hits to kill

[lilac orbit]

Don't got enough soul gems to recharge it enough for that

I could try hitting Umbra and leading her back to the Imperial city like I did back then

But then I'd get a bounty oof

[wispy wing]

If you can get up high in the poison room you could kill her that way too.

[lilac orbit]

Actually I should do this since I do have the Unlevelled Quest Rewards mod, so Umbra should scale with me now as I level up.

[wispy wing]

But that would require decently high acrobatics.

Or finding some item like old paintbrushes.

It's gotta exist.

There's no way.

[rough smelt]

They made Umbra level in this,

[mellow pine]

Nice to know but if your right. the obivion ayleid armor shouldnt it look like the ayleids armor in the Knight of the nine dlc? xD

BOW DOWN TO your MASTERS HUMAN DOGS!!

i love the elves in this universe

[vagrant swan]

The scale patterning is really good
Looks almost random

[wispy wing]

Like those enemy things? Those are Daedra.

[lilac orbit]

Fr? Hell yeah

Also I'm cooked

[wispy wing]

Aurorans are Daedra that belong to Meridia, and Umaril is also part Daedra iirc.

[lilac orbit]

My armor's at 12 health and I am inside Oblivion rn with 8 armorer and no repair hammers lmao

It takes me 2 shots with a bow or 20 hits hits with a sword to kill Daedra lel

Gotta stealth my way through this

[wispy wing]

Finished the thing I was doing in another game so time to go back to playing Oblivion.

[lilac orbit]

Barely fuckin made it

[buoyant crystal]

Grand Champion at level 10, I'm riiich

[lilac orbit]

Also, does Umbra actually have a sheathe now?

[wispy wing]

Heh.

No, unfortunately.

[rough smelt]

Why is umbra one handed in obilvon

[wispy wing]

Dw about it.

It's an evil demonic sword.

It can probably change form.

[versed linden]

Yeah

[eager sinew]

Theres this gamer article that says the wrist irons are the only enchantable arm armor in the game lol

And to never get rid of them

[wispy wing]

For clothing yes.

[rough smelt]

For clouthing

Idk why they removed gloves

[buoyant crystal]

You telling me you don't think the highest quality mage robes and some rusty prison irons ain't the most fire combination out there?

[versed linden]

I love wearing robes for aesthetics, but want the protection of armor, this is why Morrowind is the superior game

As well as pauldrons look cool on my robes

[errant cobalt]

Can't you enchant robes with damage resistance

[versed linden]

I mean I like heavy armor

[errant cobalt]

I guess to simplify since armour weighs a ton

[versed linden]

I just like Morrowind's system of clothing and armor a lot

[errant cobalt]

I think 4 slots is a decent middle ground tbh

[buoyant crystal]

They also changed the Lord birthsign so it's +15 flat armor rating and +15% magic resist. That could be good for upping your armor rating on a mage build.

[lilac orbit]

Anyone else got Vicenti going from a full head of hair to bald in alternation?

[rough smelt]

Yes

[lilac orbit]

Aight it's a game bug then

[rough smelt]

Him to put him out of his misery

[errant cobalt]

Lmfao yes

[lilac orbit]

Ngl bald fits him better, gives off more of a vampire feel

[errant cobalt]

He looks like andrew tate

[wispy wing]

There we go, now I'm set for bows.

[magic comet]

One of the outfit changes I really appreciated was the Mythic Dawn robes. They were plain red robes in the original game, but they added the golden streaks to the robes that Skyrim gave them.

(I am upset they didn't give us a way to acquire Imperial Watch armor, but I'll get over it. xD)

[rough smelt]

Did they remaster pitt armor despite it going unused in og obilvon

[lilac orbit]

I can't decide which version of the Imperial Palace armor looks better

The remaster one looks like a damn unit, while the Skyblivion one looks sleek as hell.

[magic comet]

Yes

[errant cobalt]

Skyblivion is more accurate to the empire as it exists in skyrim tbf

But it lacks the ornateness

[errant cobalt]

... Jesus?

[prisma glen]

I’ve been in Bravil for 5 minutes and I’ve already seen two NPCs get murdered outta nowhere

City swimmer, stole a piece of lettuce and the guards killed her, I just walked into the lonely suitor and that loan shark orc just randomly killed Daenlin, the proprietor of the Archer’s paradox for no reason

He doesn’t have any stolen goods on his person

[magic comet]

No, Jesus would be a Redguard.

[errant cobalt]

White Jebus

[wispy wing]

Heh, classic.

City Swimmer is impossible to keep alive.

[prisma glen]

I had never seen her random slaying in all my years playing the game, thought it was just a one off technical goof with the remastered version lol

Same with the Bosmer guy

[prisma glen]

I forgot Mithril was a thing in this game I thought I was in Khazad-Dum for a second

Todd must’ve watched and loved LOTR before production of this game

[solemn lark]

In there a person I can go to for spell training?

Like Varnado the Heavy Armor trainer

[errant cobalt]

It's why Cyrodiil isnt a jungle

[errant cobalt]

Mages guild

[prisma glen]

Yeah easiest way is to check the mages guild halls in each city

[solemn lark]

Ty

[prisma glen]

Might have to first join the guild before their services are offered though, I forget

[errant cobalt]

You do but it's one dialogue option and you're an associate

[prisma glen]

Yep easy as that

Just can’t access the arcane university until you assist all the other guild halls

[lilac orbit]

Remastered is more interesting in terms of shapes, while the Skyblivion one is more interesting in terms of texture

[mellow pine]

Skyblivions looks sexy as hell

[lilac orbit]

I fucking love what they did for Mankar Camoran

[mellow pine]

but its goin to be hard to beat Remastered cool graphics though

faces look so good

[lilac orbit]

In terms of graphics, the official remaster is going to win 100%, it's unfair when UE5 is involved

[mellow pine]

and biggest thing so far is CLOTH PHYSICS!!!

[lilac orbit]

I think Skyblivion will especially excel in one thing though

[mellow pine]

i can stand skyrim graphics to be fair, but those cloth physics are just ... essential for me

specially with robes

[lilac orbit]

It's not a remaster. That's what the official one is, a remaster. It's essentially the same as the original with better graphics. The layout of everything is exactly where I remember them.

[mellow pine]

yeah, 1:1

[lilac orbit]

What I like about what Skyblivion is doing is its reimagining the entire game, new layouts, changed how quests playout, the feel of the dungeons, etc.

[mellow pine]

skyblivion is to be more immersive i was led to believe, which is cool. Thats what i want

[lilac orbit]

Apparently depending on the region the aylied ruins are going to be overrun by the environment it's located in.

[mellow pine]

Here is hoping we see the mod release soon

[lilac orbit]

North near Skyrim - full of snow,
Somewhere on a beach - sandy
Near black marsh - Overrun with foliage

[lilac orbit]

They're set on this year, I really want to play it

Also, plus with Skyblivion, more people can run it since it's not as demanding as the remaster

Unfortunately console players can't play it

[mellow pine]

yeah

[lilac orbit]

@mellow pine here's the original DB Sanctuary

Here's the remastered one

It's 1:1 with better graphics

This, holy shit I really want to chill in this sanctuary over that glorified basement

[mellow pine]

Lot of love went into both the skyblivion and the remaster. mad respect for both

[lilac orbit]

Yeah, I gotta respect both of them

Seriously my only gripe with the remaster isn't the game itself, it's that UE5 is just buggy as hell

Already sunk over 50 hours into it

On a weekday lel, I'm scrambling with my homework rn

[solemn lark]

The weight of some of these weapons is downright abysmal and someone needs to be punch in the face for it

93 pounds for a freaking hammer

[wispy wing]

I skipped on Fin Gleam ngl.

I find Detect Life more annoying than useful.

[lilac orbit]

Are Daedric weapons made of tungsten or some shit?

A short sword I picked up weighed more than my glass claymore lmao

[wispy wing]

Just how it always has been.

Oh nice, I can sell stuff for 75% of value now.

[solemn lark]

Which district of the imperial city is the mages guild located?

[wispy wing]

Arcane University.

[errant cobalt]

That's where the arcane university is, you can't access it until you're a full member

[wispy wing]

Trying to get a Glass Shield rn.

And gauntlets too, but eh.

[solemn lark]

Nobody in there I talk too gives me the option to join

[wispy wing]

You can't start the quest to join there, have to do it at a location in another city.

[solemn lark]

Of course

[eager sinew]

I feel like with a couple optimizations this game could well decent enough on steam deck

[lilac orbit]

"Thank you for listening to me talking about where my husband goes to be secluded where nobody can see him while he uses drugs. I hope the drugs don't kill him."

Nah don't worry woman my dagger will get to him first, thanks for telling me where he is.

[wispy wing]

Casually carrying a Daedric Battle Axe.

The Camonna Tong ain't messing around.

[lilac orbit]

Also, gonna point it out, I'm impressed with how well Bethesda improved the horse riding

[wispy wing]

I forgot how funny Rugdumph was.

[errant cobalt]

The dude who talks about beings of skeletous nature?

[wispy wing]

The orc lord who uses words he doesn't understand to sound sophisticated.

[wispy wing]

Unfortunately I think I'm faster than my horse now.

[lilac orbit]

Same

Maxed out speed and agility, plus I've been running everywhere

[wispy wing]

I maxed out Strength first, then putting my two loose points in agility every level.

Don't forget to max willpower. That's where most of your fatigue comes from.

Also even though I'm atronach I can still grind spell skills by standing next to an ayldeid well.

Once I get a mundane ring I'll be immune to magic.

[lilac orbit]

Must say they improved the glass armor a lot

It's no longer mountain dew

[wispy wing]

I hope Amber still looks good.

Waiting until I can get perfect.

[lilac orbit]

Now it's just hierophant green

Uh, can't load my saves

Also, damn I forgot how much fun the dark brotherhood questline was in Oblivion

Whodunit was fun

[lilac orbit]

Aw damn, my saves got corrupted

[drifting kite]

It really is just like the original

Its perfect

[lilac orbit]

It still kinda pisses me off that a lot of rewards aren't leveled

[copper echo]

Bout kill my first dude for the dark brotherhood

👉 👈

[vagrant swan]

Can you delete spells

[lilac orbit]

Should've been nicer when you had the chance bruv

[wispy wing]

Disabling achievements isn't that bad.

I'll just do an achievement speedrun later.

[lilac orbit]

I had over 2000 hours on fallout 4 with one achievement. Achievements mean nothing to me.

[rough smelt]

Glass armor looks good

[wispy wing]

Shame I'll be replacing it with my forever armour soon.

[zinc zenith]

Did you level up too quickly? Oblivion leveling system is a bit weird

For example, I'm level 1 still, still leveling my minor and major skills before moving to level 2

[rough smelt]

They mostly fixed that issue becides gear

[zinc zenith]

Technically I can level, but I don't want to yet. Once my magic for destruction and alteration is high enough, I'll level (both minor skills)

[zinc zenith]

Ah, good to know lol

I have been playing by 2006 rul8

I just want to play Oblivion all day

[mellow pine]

i always avoid leveling up

hate the way gear spawns when you level

iron stuff disapears. basic grunts run in super rare stuff, ugh ... immersion breaking

[green bane]

Maybe the bandits you stole it from are just that good tho

[zinc zenith]

They level up too. They know the Protagonist has cleared out others, can't sit around waiting to die.

The conversation mini game has been a nice distraction

[mellow pine]

why go bandit if they have the money to afford glass and dwarven gear though? 🤣

[zinc zenith]

Obviously it is paying well

[lilac orbit]

7-12 just sneak lel

[rough smelt]

Just finished upgrading a dlc home know time to do the rest

[zinc zenith]

I'm going pure mage. No armour

Playing as a female high elf for the extra magic and slightly faster run speed. Did they normalize run speed?

Old oblivion it was the fastest character you could have

[rough bone]

From my high elf experience they don't seem much faster

[zinc zenith]

It wasn't a big amount from what I recall, but I figured being slightly faster was worth it

[rough bone]

Oh, I mean in the remaster

Im a pure doom wizard

[zinc zenith]

Same, that's what I wondered. Is if they normalized speed

[rough bone]

I think so, yeah

[zinc zenith]

Old one it was based on height and the female high elf was the tallest

[rough bone]

I never actually knew that

Damn

[rough smelt]

They ran faster but idk by how much

[zinc zenith]

The older I've gotten the more I enjoy restrictions for characters and quirks like the movement speed

It was small, but if you buff speed at all it helps

In oblivion 2006

[rough bone]

Oh sure

Speed is always fun in oblivion

[lilac orbit]

Got 100 speed and agility rn, tryna max out my athletics now

Also, I noticed that I unfortunately don't do as much sneak damage rn

Did they nerf stealth?

I'm not one shotting anyone like I used to back then

Yep, it's definitely Oblivion. Nearly 20 years later and Umbra still doesn't have a sheathe lmao.

[rough bone]

Just part of the charm

[rough smelt]

I used the console and can't unlock ahivements fuck.... I gotta make a new save but I wanted to try a new build anywas

[lilac orbit]

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/567 it finally happened

A godsend

[umbral girder]

The leveling system isn't the same as the original oblivion there's not really a point in holding off on leveling up now

[lilac orbit]

Ok. I'm kind of disappointed with Nexus.

Hasn't even been a week and there's already nude mods.

[umbral girder]

Those are usually done before the game even releases

Idk if anyone figured this out but an easy way to unready your arrow on your bow after drawing it is quickly pressing the favorites wheel button

[rough bone]

They are the duality of the modding community. If the game exists, the nudes and porn content must as well. This is the symbiosis by which nerds practice the sacred art of gaming now.

[rough smelt]

Whould i count as a pure mage still if I carry a sword

[rough bone]

Why not summon one?

[umbral girder]

Yes

[rough bone]

Either way, I think a wizard or Mage is allowed some form of melee weapon

[umbral girder]

Kinda hard not to have a melee weapon with this magic system when you can have both equipped

[rough bone]

Gandalf had a sword, though, he's like a lv 20 god avatar wizard

[rough smelt]

Low magic

Plus there's cool unquies

Chillrend goldbrand umbra

[rough bone]

Then go grab a cool weapon and get a hacking

[rough smelt]

Gotta get out of prison first made a new character Gotta focus on magic

[rough bone]

Oh

My crazy pure magic vampire wizard man just hard leveled fist fighting at the start

[rough smelt]

I'm leveling all sorts of skills ill probably never use

[rough bone]

Ah, alright

[mild thorn]

So quick question
So far, how is the oblivion remastered?

[rough smelt]

Good

[lilac orbit]

It's Oblivion but better

[rough smelt]

How's this

[lilac orbit]

You going battle mage or something?

[rough smelt]

Just normal mage

I like to carry a weapon as a mage incase of low mana

[lilac orbit]

Holy hell, Lumen RT apparently kills performance

I turned it off, I'm getting 90-120 on high at native res

I was getting 60 on high with balanced FSR

[mild thorn]

Welcome to optimising
If you still need fps, just decrease your resolution to 1280x720p
You do not need 1080x1900p

[lilac orbit]

Nah I'm happy with how my game looks with 30-60 more fps than what I was getting before

[umbral girder]

I was just standing somewhere random cuz it was safe, looked back like 3 mins later and suddenly there's an oblivion gate in front of me lol

[mild thorn]

I guess oblivion gods had a problem with you

[umbral girder]

What happens if the first person you murder is the guy the DB makes you kill first

[lilac orbit]

Holy shit this actually also solved the visual problem I didn't like. Nights were too bright for my liking.

[copper echo]

Bc this is my first ever experience of oblivion i do feel like a bit of a tourist , kinda just walking in a direction and seeing what happens

Found a town called Bravil

[mild thorn]

The oblivion gods?
Which msg you were trying to refer

[copper echo]

This is the most immersed I've been in a game in so long

[lilac orbit]

I got no idea anymore lmao

[mild thorn]

Is the remastered this good that you just suddendly forget?

[lilac orbit]

That and lack of sleep

[lilac orbit]

It really is just Oblivion but better ain't it?

[copper echo]

Never experienced the original unfortunately

But i understand now why people loved it

[lilac orbit]

Just sucks you in

[copper echo]

Absolutely

[lilac orbit]

You gon love the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion if you played them in Skyrim

[copper echo]

I enjoyed skyrim, this is 100x better than skyrim

[mild thorn]

And now i am questioning if i should replay oblivion again?

[lilac orbit]

Hol up, huh?

[lilac orbit]

yes

[mild thorn]

What is this discord
It look dark

[green bane]

It needs an update. Of fairydust, apparently

[lilac orbit]

Does it?

[rough smelt]

Game is not giving me achievements

[copper echo]

Just tryna find where I can repair armour and buy lock picks

[green bane]

Martol are you a barbaric light mode user? 😮

[lilac orbit]

Market District and turn left to the weapons shop to repair stuff

My eyes

[green bane]

Repair hammers from armorsmiths and locking from generalstores/bandits

[copper echo]

Only in the city ? I'm currently just walking around going to towns n stuff on the way to quests

[mild thorn]

I am getting rid of that since no one in this server can handle the true power of discord light mode

[green bane]

The townes should all have one

[lilac orbit]

Any blacksmith should be able to help

[copper echo]

Gotcha

[umbral girder]

That's funny the skingrad guards use silver arrows, figured the count would reduce the amount of silver

[lilac orbit]

Is this gonna finish updating? lel

[mild thorn]

Well i know i cant run remastered cause this bad boy cant but i can play the original agian

[lilac orbit]

Wait for Skyblivion too

[mild thorn]

Does it have a graphic mod in it and avaliable in skyrim legendary edition?

[green bane]

You broke it dash

[lilac orbit]

Skyblion has the sexy armor

[lilac orbit]

I break everything I touch

As I say this my hand sanitizer's nozzle just shot out of the actual spray bottle

[mild thorn]

experiemnt and pretend i touch dash
My arm is now deleted

Damn dash isnt kidding
She not just break everything, she just deleted my right hand

Now i have to eat with my left hand and i hate this left hand cause i am not dominat with it

[lilac orbit]

Anyways gotta take a break from Oblivion a bit, bruvs are calling me into League

[mild thorn]

turns out its the league of dark assassin cause she still addicted to it

[lilac orbit]

I don't really play league anymore, but my skills have remained. I usually just play to help them out since they're dogshit at the game lel.

[mild thorn]

Wish i can say the same for my shooting skills

[lilac orbit]

My valorant skills stayed, that was evident with Black Widow on Rivals

[mild thorn]

Me getting a 10% on soldier 76 on overwatch 2 due to sheer shit aim

[lilac orbit]

Bruv they've already given the remaster it's own meme name online

The Elder Stutters

[mild thorn]

It stutters that much?

Simple solution
Turn the resolution to 1280x700p

[lilac orbit]

It's UE5, it's normal on pc

[mild thorn]

The answer remains the same

[lilac orbit]

Trust me we've tried everything, it's not a graphics thing unfortunately

[mild thorn]

Wait UE5 is epic games thing right?

[lilac orbit]

Might be

[copper echo]

Weird island

Ima go see

[lilac orbit]

There's a boat

There's a quest that lets you use a boat to out to the island next to it

Or you can swim to it ig

[copper echo]

Can I not swim over ?

[lilac orbit]

You can, but slaughterfish

[green bane]

Gotta get some water breathing or swiftswim

[lilac orbit]

You could also pop a seastride potion and become steezus

[green bane]

Or that

[mild thorn]

Researched it
Turns out yes, its made by epic games so in my eyes its likely shit

[copper echo]

[lilac orbit]

@green bane 2.1GB updateee

[green bane]

Yaaay its unborked

[lilac orbit]

My mods are gon get f'd up

[rough smelt]

I used a console commands bu mistake and know all ahivements got disabled..mmm

[lilac orbit]

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/125 https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/145 try one of these

[copper echo]

Yeah nah i ain't gonna fuck with that rn , I'll come back when I'm not weak baby

[mild thorn]

There already mods?

[lilac orbit]

Including nude mods

Those guys work fast lmao

[mild thorn]

Sigh
It hasnt even been a week

[green bane]

That looks dlc-y if I'm remembering correctly

[copper echo]

3 days

[lilac orbit]

Exactly what I said

[mild thorn]

in 3 days they added nude mods
These guys are that desperate?

[copper echo]

Gotcha , I'll come back after base game shit

[copper echo]

It's a Bethesda game

[mild thorn]

Oh right yeah
Its full of that stuff

[copper echo]

Thats all you really need to know

[rough smelt]

How do I switch games on mod manager

[lilac orbit]

I'm surprised they didn't go for the Spriggan or Flame Atronach

They went for the damn Spider Daedra

[mild thorn]

SPILLS SOMETHING
SPIDER WHAT!?!?

[lilac orbit]

I actually prefer manually installing mods on the remaster

[rough smelt]

I have no idea how to manually install

[lilac orbit]

There are instructions on the mod page

[green bane]

Burn it!!

[mild thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/james-may-gun-top-gear-gif-23132294

[vagrant swan]

[mild thorn]

I am bring out the daedric shotgun to handle that disaster

[rough smelt]

Can't figure it out....

[lilac orbit]

Hol on

Oh damn, there's already a script extender

[lilac orbit]

You got steam or gamepass?

[rough smelt]

Stean

[lilac orbit]

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common first

Then oblivion

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Binaries\Win64

[rough smelt]

Is right clicking on it and going to properties the same thing

[lilac orbit]

Paste the file included in the mod into the folder that the directory leads you to

After that it should be active

[rough smelt]

Nope

Quess I'll play without ahivements til I can automatically do it

Stupid to ruin all the saves for use of a console but I'll still carry on

[errant cobalt]

They're already technically naked

[eager sinew]

The fact that quest rewards are still tied to level loot is whack

Idk how people still struggle with Manual mod installs. You download files and place them in the game folder EZ

[rough smelt]

I did that

[eager sinew]

Did you put it in the correct place tho

Its easy to put a folder inside of another folder

I dont remember if you have to make your own mod folder or not either

But id say the most common mistake I see is people putting the mod folder behind another folder so it cant actually access them

[copper echo]

Huh dupe glitch discovered

Now i have 200 gold nuggets

[eager sinew]

Discovered or Ridiscovered

[copper echo]

My first time playing so I guess discovered, I assume it was in the original

Put an item you wanna dupe in an empty chest, if you have say 200 arrows , hover over them in your inventory, at the same time press the button to add them to the chest, and the button that switches over to the chest, confirm you wanna add thr 200 arrows into the chest, and voila

Im probably explaining it terribly

For xbox it's

Add the item you wanna dupe to empty chest
Hover over your arrows in inventory, press A and rb at the same time, then double click A to confirm

Think im only gonna use it for lock picks since I'm always running out

[umbral girder]

I thought it used your scrolls slot

[wispy wing]

All I know is that you get FAAAAST when your speed and agility are high.

[wispy wing]

*angel

[wispy wing]

Console commands permanently disable achievements, possibly even just opening the command menu.

Best source of lockpicks early on is Shady Sam to the left of the main gate of the imperial city.

Just hug the wall.

[eager sinew]

Idk but maybe report it as a bug just in case?

[rough bone]

I can be your angle

[rough smelt]

I deleted all my saves and made a new save and got ahivements back

[wispy wing]

Wym.

Made a new character?

[rough smelt]

Yeaj

[wispy wing]

Ah.

[errant cobalt]

It is

[wispy wing]

The achievements in this can all be gotten with a level 1 character.

So I'll probably do that later and not have to worry.

[lilac orbit]

What was the 2GB update for?

Holy shit, THE GAME'S NOT STUTTERING

GAME OF THE YEAR 2025

[eager sinew]

FINALLY

Im ready for 50 FPS on steam deck

[lilac orbit]

SOLID 120 EVERYWHERE

[wispy wing]

...they want this on Switch 2?

[eager sinew]

I can see it at 30 FPS

[lilac orbit]

Wait I'm playing on fuckin native?

BETHESDA WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

[wispy wing]

Let me know when someone finds the change logs.

[eager sinew]

I havent even gotten the update yet

Hey guys Avowed is on sale

[wispy wing]

The update reset my graphics settings.

Did they disable upscaling?

[eager sinew]

I doubt it

[wispy wing]

The only option available is off.

[eager sinew]

RIP my performance

[rough smelt]

This remaster is bad no game braking glitchs or anything at day 1

[copper echo]

He said the thing

[umbral girder]

I had main quests get stuck on stages and not progressing

[solemn lark]

How to I get the sexy flame armor?

[copper echo]

So far and I've done 2 quests

👉 👈 explorin

[wispy wing]

No wonder Blackwood is more successful than the Fighter's Guild, look at that gear.

[rough smelt]

Should I level intelligence so I can use better illusion spells

I finally figured out the build i wanted to be

[eager sinew]

I still havent seen this supposed update

[copper echo]

I updated , can't find any logs about it

However my xbox series s is running it much much smoother than before

[magic comet]

I have acquired Mehrunes’ Razor without doing what he wanted me to. Screw that guy.

[eager sinew]

Damn must be a steam thing then

Was the update for consoles only?

[copper echo]

Not sure

I know dash got the update and he's using gamepass pc

[eager sinew]

Microsoft exclusive update😂

[green bane]

did they add potato mode?

[eager sinew]

Steam deck mode

I hope

It would be nice to get 50 FPS outside

It must have shadow updated or something

[green bane]

i get like ..15 outside of the city lol

[eager sinew]

Im allegedly getting 85 fps in the cave I just spawned in

Which is very odd

Cause my steam deck is supposed to be capped at 50 FPS

[copper echo]

No

[green bane]

dangit ><

[rough smelt]

Think I'm gonna become a vampire but first I'll beat arena?

[eager sinew]

Bro they need to fkin fix Expert Difficulty

[copper echo]

So this fuckin rune ? Gave me a very temporary weapon and helmet, but what's like the purpose

Bc by the time you get anywhere to kill anything with thr timer is out

Unless fast travel?

[eager sinew]

Everyone I fight takes like 5 solid minutes

Like what is this

And adept you just like 4 shot people

And never die

Insane difficulty scaling

[green bane]

looks like a bound weapon/armor? theyre meant to be temporary unfortunately

[eager sinew]

Youre supposed to use it right before combat

Not like all the time lol

[green bane]

one of the games you could enchant it to last forever though so you could have like a bound axe on a ring that weighs nothin

[eager sinew]

Thatd be cool

Do you need silver weapons to kill vampires? And fire?

[green bane]

thye have a weakness to fire and magic yea

[eager sinew]

You mean silver?

[rough smelt]

No

[eager sinew]

I am like barely putting a dent into these vamps

[rough smelt]

Get some fire damage

[eager sinew]

I only have flare or touch

Expert is impossible

[green bane]

silver is for ghosts iir

[eager sinew]

Thought it was undead in general

Turns out the best way to beat Expert difficulty is conjuring/summoning

[green bane]

oh silver does work on vamps according to wiki

[eager sinew]

Because your summons have the same busted damage and HP as the people your fighting

Ya unfortunately even with silver im barely touching these guys

[rough smelt]

So basicly the same strategy as og obilvon

[eager sinew]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ElderScrolls/comments/1k6g1fl/oblivion_difficulty_scaling_side_by_side_too_easy/

If you want to see how busted difficulty scaling is rn lol

This fight was so hard for me I had to steal something and bait a legion soldier inside to help

Doom.stones are temp very powerful dedric stuff

[eager sinew]

Seems like Oblivion runs better in desktop mode on the deck

[rough smelt]

A guild member need a fence? Sorry bro you're not high enough ranking

[magic comet]

It was for everything, but it’s been causing a few issues on the PC version of the game (specifically in regard to upscaling). They said it was for backend fixes; nothing players would actually notice.

[eager sinew]

So did it not get pushed out then

[rough smelt]

Gonna become a vampire i hope i don't regret it

[rough bone]

I just wanna play Oblivion

But my friends are like: nah bruh, come hang out with us

[magic comet]

It did.

I got the update on XSX this morning.

[eager sinew]

I cant see anything in my history

2 gbs for nothing people would notice sounds a bit wild

[copper echo]

For the dark brother hood

[vagrant swan]

Man it's really weird how the dark brotherhood questline ends just as yours starting to uncover a mystery

[rough bone]

We love the brotherhood around here

[zinc zenith]

The way your character holds that mace makes me think they announce to anyone they see "I have a mace!'

[copper echo]

Pre warn before boinked

[errant cobalt]

It doesn't? You find out who's behind it and kill them

[copper echo]

[vagrant swan]

No you don't it ends as soon as everyone is your fren it's nice but strange that there no more content

[rough smelt]

Did you not read the note that you were given

[errant cobalt]

You get infinite assassination radiants

[vagrant swan]

Incorrect

[rough smelt]

Is everyone in the sanctuary alive

[vagrant swan]

Absolutely cause that'swhere it ends

[rough smelt]

That's not where it ends

[vagrant swan]

Sure it is nothing bad ever happens to my serial killer friends

[rough smelt]

The lizard girl is sopost to give you a note from lucien

[wispy wing]

Bro called me ugly without saying a word.

[wispy wing]

Ok the Shivering Isles seem quite buggy.

[rough smelt]

[wispy wing]

Adept.

[rough smelt]

I think i need to buy better healing spells

Sun damage gonna hurt like hell later stages

[copper echo]

Killed my first troll

Walking around a dungeon, scared the shit outta me

[rough smelt]

Ill just feed off the homeless

I'm a vampire

[rough smelt]

Should I go return the amulet of kings or just keep fucking around

[solemn lark]

Im in a Oblivion gate where the main tower is surrounded by 5 other towers with bridges leading to it and there is no way to ascend the main tower

All the doors on the level of the main tower just lead to the outer towers

[wispy wing]

Two of the towers will lead into a floor together that you can use to reach the higher levels, but you need to open the gates to reach them.

Those four that connect to the same floor but nothing else exist just to open those gates.

[solemn lark]

Ty

[wispy wing]

Poisons of paralysis are useful.

[mellow pine]

Nexus is weird. And the only nude i saw for the oblivion remaster was a boobs one and that was just to make them diff. You dont even want to se the BG3 nexus. Its full of degeneracy. Nasty stuff in that one.

[wispy wing]

Good work.

[solemn lark]

I opened all the gates

https://tenor.com/view/findingnemo-nowwhat-gif-20027774

[wispy wing]

Ok, now you should see that two of the towers connect to the main tower on a lower level than the other four.

[solemn lark]

Got it

[copper echo]

Just discovered how soul gems work , so that's tomorrow's objective , level up my mysticism, use soul trapper spell on some baddies , and respect charge my shit

[wispy wing]

I should grind my mysticism.

[copper echo]

I didn't realise how actually indepth oblivion is, in my head it's "oh 2006 game , be like 3 questlines and 6 places to visit"

Nah bro this shit packed with stuff

[solemn lark]

How much longer before I can get the sexy flame armor?

[wispy wing]

Sexy flame armour?

[solemn lark]

Someone told me you can get this as an armor

[wispy wing]

I find this immediately after maxing armorer.

Bruh.

[rough smelt]

Sells good

Tomrrow i think I'm gonna level up my spell skills i don't use alot of magic but being able to cast better healing and be able to summon a skele chould be useful

[wispy wing]

Not as far as I know.

[rough smelt]

If I'm gonna be a vampire is it a good idea to have a house in each city

I know there's the guilds but

[wispy wing]

Hello Daedroth.

[lilac orbit]

I'm still pissed with how well my joke build worked compared to my well thought out one

[rough smelt]

My stealth themed build is leveling much slower then my spellsword but that's not a bad thing either

[lilac orbit]

Unarmed was way better than a sword for some reason

[wispy wing]

Fatigue drain.

[rough smelt]

I gotta farm magic skills
