Spellbreaker looks cooler but the chorrol shield has the more useful enchantment I think
#Oblivion: Remastered
rough smelt
rough bone
I'm not a big shield guy, but I think that other shield is like one of the best in the game from what I remember
Spellbreaker is neat though
rough smelt
You a one handed build?
rough smelt
Shields are useful on all builds as there enhanted effects still applies to you
rough bone
Oh, yeah, for sure
wispy wing
I'm not a big shield guy, but I think that other shield is like one of the best ...
It's just an ebony shield.
wispy wing
Reflect damage is ok I guess.
rough bone
It reflects?
wispy wing
Just get amulet of blades or axes or something.
rough smelt
It's just an ebony shield.
It has a tree on it other then that its just a ebony shield
wispy wing
Besides, I don't really think heavy armour is worth the weight.
rough bone
Crimson raiment, sword reflecting necklace, chorrol shield
Thats almost 100 reflect
Holy fuck
wispy wing
Both Amber and Madness hit armour cap with respective max armour skills.
rough bone
Cast a reflection spell, and your good to go
rough smelt
My spellswords are normally breatons and that's allready 50% magic
wispy wing
Magic is 100% more dangerous than melee, even as a Breton.
That's why you get the mundane ring.
rough bone
Maybe to some people heheh
wispy wing
What.
wispy wing
The only game that's worth being a vampire in is Skyrim, because once again magic immunity.
rough smelt
It's worth being a vampire in skyrim bc vampirelord
wispy wing
Nah, magic immunity is more important.
rough bone
See... that sounds very boring
wispy wing
Vampire Lord falls off.
But the other perks are nice.
Once you're immune to magic the only downside is 60 to all stats when in sunlight?
rough bone
I need to play the most efficient, analytical way is sort just not how I see games.
Like, that sorta has... I dunno, lack of personality?
To me, of course.
wispy wing
I've played these games for literal decades.
rough bone
If it works for you, that is completely fine.
rough smelt
The meta is boring
wispy wing
This is just how it is.
rough bone
And so have I, lol.
rough smelt
I been playing obilvon for how old is skyrim?
rough bone
Its just... I dunno.
rough smelt
Dragon breath is considered magic.
Don't shock spells drain magic
rough bone
Skyrim in general is sorta easy as pie.
wispy wing
Don't shock spells drain magic
Not if you have 100% spell absorption.
Which is how you become immune to magic in Skyrim because magic resistance has a cap of 85%.
rough smelt
Not if you have 100% spell absorption.
I meant if you use shock spells to drain the targets magic not yourself
wispy wing
Yes.
rough smelt
You can make dragons unable to shout
wispy wing
But yeah, Vampire + Atronach Stone + Alteration Atronach perk + Restoration Necromage Perk means that dragon breath restores your magicka.
That's it.
I might have to train my illusion to get crossbow recipes though.
And do Companions before Dawnguard.
rough bone
I haven't played Skyrim in years

Well, at least I find Madness unappealing. Amber is decent.

Still way better hen og you gotta admit that tho

A moderate improvement, but I do prefer the black lining to the grey lining.

Did I make this spell right
rough bone
Thats a spell I'd run
rough smelt
I got 100 hours and I haven't started shivering isles but to stop from burn out gonna just make a character to mess around in do glitchs exploits etc
rough bone
Yeah, I haven't gamed in a couple days. I plan on getting back to Oblivion this weekend
Vozgoth is gonna murder more people and continue to awkwardly deny his vampirism to his fellow Mages.
wispy wing
Did I make this spell right
I'd suggest having your weakness spells separate from your damage spells.
So hit them with a weakness then hit them with your damage spells during the duration.
If I correctly remember how it works only the casts following that initial one will be affected with the weakness.

pretty sure the devolution of the falmer has more to do with Dwemer experimentation. Skyrim just went soft on us so they can keep the T rated for Teen xD
dwemer were brutal
no wonder everyone hates the mer

Xbox Oblivion is so good we got two disks.
I lost my original 360 release game.
But I got the Xbox One rerelease.
rough smelt
Ironic there's a line in obilvon about children not being added because they'd be annoying and then skyrim added children and there annoying
wispy wing
Oblivion has always been the best entry in the series, even if I dislike some of its LotR related retcons.
I prefer pre-LotR TES lore, but it is what it is.
soft vapor
One thing I've deduced so far is that the actual quests feel a lot more engaging and have quality writing
The dungeons I've been to so far are kind of meh compared to skyrim but maybe I just haven't gone to the cool places yet
I keep going into random caves outside of quests that don't have a lot to offer
Almost 60 hours deep and I think I'm actually starting to get better at lockpicking

The fireball spell you start with.

I tried that a few times but this thing has the worst hitbox I have ever seen
I also had silver arrows and somehow I missed almost every shot at point blank

Balancing potions are more broken then in skyrim
soft vapor
Gonna pretend like I didn't just lower the difficulty to apprentice in order to take care of the two wraiths waiting for me as soon as I spawned into the bottom deck...
soft vapor
Balancing potions are more broken then in skyrim
I discovered that if I just leave the menu and then go back, I can evade the potions limit lol
The difference in difficulty between apprentice and adept is actually insane lol
Literally one shotted them by lowering it
rough bone
Adept is sorta intimidating for new players, I suppose yeah. Apprentice really is easy mode.
But, ya know. You do what you gotta. This is your play through.
soft vapor
I started out on apprentice, but thought it was too easy so I went up to adept. Which was pretty balanced at first, but now at level 15, a lot of enemies are starting to become major threats
rough smelt
I used novice mode to kill the goblins at level 1 for chillrend gonna wait to turn in the quest tho for the better sword
I have no idea how you do that quest later leveled
soft vapor
I could definitely see how the waves of goblins would be awful to deal with at higher levels
rough smelt
I hope es6 gives more love to other weapons becides swords i like swords but come on
soft vapor
Ideally they put lots of effort and complexity to every possible playstyle
wispy wing

The goblins in that quest don't scale. They're still just level 1 goblins at level 27.
rough bone
I have no idea how you do that quest later leveled
For me? Paralysis poisons, summon a daedroth and camping the goblin spawn behind the rock

Level 1 goblin vs umbra with 100 strength and 80+ blade.

They've always had a use.
rough smelt
They've always had a use.
What were they?

A good way to stack debuffs.
Daggers
wispy wing
Daggers are more for stealth attacks.
Since they have their own stealth bonus multiplier now.

I use both a shortsword and a dagger as a stealth character shortsword for outside of stealth

One of my quests is bugged, I forget which one
rough smelt
Tails some ressaon don't show when wearing full outfits
rough bone
Or when you click on a soul gem your characters weapon disappears
soft vapor
Never change, Bethesda. Never change…
This one happened when I returned from the Dreamworld
I just thought the hand placement was... interesting
Some of the more annoying bugs I've encountered have been Starlight not working unless I switch to 3rd person, my vertical mouse movement getting fucky every time I have the bow equipped while going for a swim, and either my sword or my shield stays invisible whenever I take off my chameleon ring
Sometimes certain spells stay in effect permanently unless I reload or exit game and re-open, such as both Starlight and detect life. Those can actually be helpful but it makes me feel like I'm cheating lol

Been playing Skyrim a lot, damn, the mage guild is just disappointing compared to Oblivion's
rough smelt
Been playing Skyrim a lot, damn, the mage guild is just disappointing compared t...
I find most of the guilds are in skyirm
soft vapor
Yeah, one major takeaway for me in Oblivion so far is that most of the quests are a lot more engaging and well written
The college of winterhold questline was way too short, for one thing
It's like 4 quests long
rough smelt
Skyrims thieves guild stops being about theirs half away in mages guild short and boring
Companions questline tho is better then the fighters guild questline to me atleast
soft vapor
I do enjoy the eyes of the falmer quest though, but maybe I'm biased because I just love dwarven ruins
rough smelt
Im more of a aylied ruin person
soft vapor
The ayleid ruins are cool so far, but I definitely prefer the dwarven ruins of Skyrim
Dungeon design overall I would say is much stronger in skyrim
rough smelt
Skyrim has the stornger dungeons
soft vapor
Or maybe I just haven't gone to the right dungeons in oblivion yet
rough smelt
Nah skyrim dungeons are more soild
soft vapor
Yeah, almost every one of them is unique in its own way which is impressive considering there are hundreds in skyrim
They've started getting repetitive fairly fast in oblivion
rough smelt
Obilvon storng suit is in the quests alot of the dungeons are basically the same in Obilvon
soft vapor
Definitely, the main thing keeping me going with Oblivion is the quests
Just about every side quest has something clever and interesting about it
There have been a handful of exceptions, such as the damn slaughterfish of the Rumare

You can lock your self out of that quest by laughing at him
soft vapor
And Sinderion's quest, which I can say for a fact that I'm not going to finish after finding out that you're have to get a whopping 100 nirnroots in total
soft vapor
You can lock your self out of that quest by laughing at him
I think I actually did that, and just reloaded a save lol
I definitely regretted reloading while frantically swimming around the lake trying to find slaughterfish
Didn't actually finish that quest until I got the Fin Gleam helmet
rough smelt
Yeah the quest is a bit bad
soft vapor
Half the time, the quest markers didn't actually lead me to a slaughterfish
Wasn't until I surfaced that I realized that a bunch of them beached themselves
rough smelt
You get a water breathing ring but as you said fin gleam
soft vapor
Yeah, kind of defeats the purpose of the reward although I prefer the ring because it weighs less
rough smelt
I normally play as argonians so the reward is normally useless to me anywas becides to sell or collect
soft vapor
There have been times that I regretted not being an Argonian, although eventually I got the water breathing spell and now the Rumare ring so it's not a huge deal anymore
rough smelt
I like the niche posion immunity and water breathing
soft vapor
I honestly didn't know water breathing and swimming in general would be as big of a deal as it is when I started the game
It wasn't that crucial in Skyrim, but Oblivion has a lot more quests that involve swimming underwater
I'm playing as a redguard, so I'm pretty good on disease immunity
rough smelt
Im playing as a breaton mage rn wanted a brake on the lizards
soft vapor
I've never really played as a mage in skyrim and that wasn't the plan in Oblivion either but now I've realized why Oblivion has a reputation for magic being the way to go
rough smelt
Spellswords or puremages are quite storng
soft vapor
So I kind of regret not investing more into magic related classes at the start
rough smelt
Spell stacking is quite broken
soft vapor
I was terrible at lockpicking at first so I put myself through the absolute pain of spamming low level alteration spells so that I could use the open lock ones
But by the time I actually got those spells, I've gotten much, much better at lockpicking
rough smelt
Obilvon lock picking is more patience based
soft vapor
I have it nailed down almost as well as skyrim/fallout lockpicking
rough bone
Or just nab the skeleton key
soft vapor
That too, I need to find Nocturnal's shrine
My ability to do lockpicking is very dependent on exploiting the fact that the tumblers will always fall back down at the same speed as long as you stop it from hitting the bottom
rough smelt
My ability to do lockpicking is very dependent on exploiting the fact that the t...
Idk if that's intended or not but that was something added in the remaster
soft vapor
I've basically conditioned myself to be really good at knowing the timing of locking a tumbler in place about half a second after it clicks at the top
rough smelt
You want to click when it falls slow its more patience then skill based
soft vapor
Idk if that's intended or not but that was something added in the remaster
A friend of mine told me about that, hopefully they don't "patch" it if it wasn't intentional lol
soft vapor
You want to click when it falls slow its more patience then skill based
Yeah, I tend to wait until it's a slow fall and then I bump it upwards before it's fallen all the way down so that it stays going slow until I'm confident enough to lock it in place
rough smelt
I been trying to get better at lockpicking aswell
soft vapor
Lockpicking was a major struggle at the start of the game but I find myself getting through very hard locks first try now
Usually I break a few before that happens, but it's not so bad as it was before that I was running out of picks
rough smelt
I brake alot of lockpicks i get a bit impatient lol
soft vapor
Sometimes I get frustrated and break like 10 in a row
Anger and impatience definitely make you worse at the lockpicking minigame lol
wispy wing
The fact that Skyrim's thieves guild doesn't require you to steal anything.
rough smelt
The fact that Skyrim's thieves guild doesn't require you to steal anything.
The fact you return a item at the end
wispy wing
"Intimidate shopkeeper for protection money" brother that is a Fighter's Guild quest.
soft vapor
Returning the Skeleton Key is something I could never understand, like WHY would you have to give up such a useful item?!
wispy wing
Because people need to stop stealing from nocturnal.
rough bone
Not at all
soft vapor
I remember hoping that I'd finally return it and Nocturnal would be like "you've done well champ, you get to keep the key" or some shit
wispy wing
It's literally a rehash from Oblivion.
rough smelt
Because people need to stop stealing from nocturnal.
Nocturnal needs to get her shit together then
rough bone
People should steal more from Nocturnal
wispy wing
Guild steals from Nocturnal, Nocturnal curses Guild so they "struggle" until thing is returned/curse is broken.
rough bone
Yeah. Bethesda isnt great at writing.
rough smelt
Nocturnal had two stolen quests in obilvon
rough bone
Its pretty obvious though
wispy wing
Unfortunately they didn't do so for the Skyrim Guild quests.
rough smelt
Nocturnals dadric quest and the thieves guild Nocturnals crowl
rough bone
Also, Oblivion isnt that ground breaking either
wispy wing
God of Thieves gets stolen from.
soft vapor
For all of Bethesda's more recent games, they seem to show their writing strength in specific side quests but are lacking in main quest shit
wispy wing
God gets pissy.
rough bone
Like, pretty basic ass stories
wispy wing
Basic ass stories like FNV.
rough smelt
God of Thieves gets stolen from.
She should stop making it so easy the other gods aren't getting there shit stolen
rough bone
Oh, you mean Obsidian?
wispy wing
Except people yap more so players think they're saying anything.
rough smelt
Except people yap more so players think they're saying anything.
The imperial and the stormcloaks
soft vapor
I thought Skyrim's main quest was alright, but the journey to get through it was pretty good
rough smelt
I thought Skyrim's main quest was alright, but the journey to get through it was...
Skyrims main quest is meh
soft vapor
But then every now and then Bethesda has a side quest somewhere that really shines
rough smelt
Skyirm is not well written
soft vapor
I'm just wondering if like, they've run out of all their ideas or what?
rough bone
I dont think I've encountered a single elder scrolls quest that really wowed me since like... Morrowind
soft vapor
Did they already exhaust all their good stories on older games and just can't think of anything better?
Oblivion has had some really strong ones in my opinion, at least compared to Skyrim. I haven't played Morrowind so I don't have that to compare to
rough smelt
Skyrims finale boss is a fight you just did 20 mintues ago but easisr
rough bone
Its more about the ease of access, imo. Morrowind is... not like Oblivion or Skyrim very much
soft vapor
A lot of the good ones come down to creativity and visuals though, but the actual story alone wouldn't have been enough
wispy wing
I hope Bethesda doesn't try to improve graphics more than say 76 in TES6.
That's not what should be focused on.
rough smelt
I hope Bethesda doesn't try to improve graphics more than say 76 in TES6.
Probably gonna be starfield level atleast
wispy wing
Fine by me.
The fact that modern gaming focuses on graphics so much is fucking absurd.
soft vapor
While I do hope for good writing in TES VI, what REALLY matters to me is that we get another dense, handcrafted map full of environmental storytelling and extremely fun gameplay that will make me want to keep coming back to it
rough bone
If stuff looks cool, people will check it out. Thats just how people are
soft vapor
Because Starfield was lacking in that respect and I think that's literally bethesda's biggest strongsuit
wispy wing
Bethesda has always had pretty good environmental storytelling.
But yeah.
Can't really randomly generate that.
soft vapor
Gameplay was decent in Starfield, but not the exploration side
And it was still a step down from previous entries in terms of things you can do with combat
wispy wing
I found trying to get gear to be a headache.
Level tiered weapons is not the way to go.
rough smelt
Randomly generated is this daggerfall
soft vapor
Yeah, that took some getting used to. And somehow they made base building atrocious
For a game like that, combined with how well they did base building in fo4 and 76, I would've expected better from them
rough smelt
Think they will add base building in tes6?
soft vapor
There was a lack of storage for materials, which made inventory management hell
soft vapor
Think they will add base building in tes6?
I'd say there's a good chance of it
Even the hearthfire DLC in Skyrim was kind of like a precursor to base building
I just hope that even if they make base building really good, that there are still a ton of already existing towns/settlements in the game that have their own lore and characters that feel like they'll exist with or without you. Fo4 had about 3 or 4 major settlements, with the rest being fully dependent on you for base building and I want there to be more balance
It will be interesting to see base building on that scale in a TES game, though. Would be cool to build castles and shit
rough smelt
I hope half of the towns aren't tiny like winter hold downstar etc
soft vapor
Same here, another big thing with Oblivion I've noticed is that pretty much all of the towns are fairly large
It's kind of an illusion in some places because each building is physically bigger than most of the ones in skyrim
rough smelt
Even obilvons smallest city is bigger then dawnstar or falkgreath
wispy wing
I hope half of the towns aren't tiny like winter hold downstar etc
Depends on the location.
Not all provinces have several massive cities like Cyrodiil.
rough smelt
Yes but these places are bigger in lore and chould have been made bigger
soft vapor
I did get the vibe that Skyrim just has a lot more population scarcity in general
wispy wing
Skyrim has four massive settlements.
The most they could do is actually add the ruins of Winterhold as something you could actually explore down in the Sea of Ghosts.
If we get a game in Black Marsh don't expect several massive cities.
rough smelt
If we get a game in Black Marsh don't expect several massive cities.
Will we ever get a game in blackmarsh
wispy wing
Idk, it would be a hurdle unless we get retcons.
Iirc only Argonians can access most of the province.
rough smelt
Idk, it would be a hurdle unless we get retcons.
Make up some main character bullshit
soft vapor
There's also the fact that everything is downscaled due to technological, time, and energy limitations. Skyrim is a few years newer than Oblivion and its cities are more dense and detailed even if by the lore, Skyrim's cities are smaller than Oblivion's
wispy wing
Then people would complain that the game is mostly Argonians.
rough smelt
Then people would complain that the game is mostly Argonians.
Skyrim is mostly nords and no one bitched
soft vapor
The ones in Oblivion do appear larger but there's probably a lower number of NPCs per city
rough smelt
Pepole be racist to the lizards
soft vapor
Then people would complain that the game is mostly Argonians.
I've thought about this, same with Elsweyr, but if you think about it Morrowind was a sort of odd-one-out province that they made a whole game about
wispy wing
Morrowind is still mostly "human" characters.
soft vapor
Dunmer are closer to humans than the others but still a very alien looking place
rough smelt
They'd bitch regradless
soft vapor
I'm sure someone would, but I think they could get away with it
Hell, what would be even better is a game that features both Black Marsh and Elsweyr
wispy wing
I do think High Rock or Hammerfell would be the best options.
At least for 6.
Or hell, both.
soft vapor
So you have two different major provinces and races, neither of which look human but at least there would be some sense of diversity
rough smelt
Elsweyr skooma everywhere
wispy wing
We may have people complaining "oh we already saw these regions".
No, not really.
High Rock would also let us see Orisinium, which would be cool af.
rough smelt
Orcs are from highrock?
soft vapor
My question is, what are they gonna do when they run out of provinces of Tamriel to base their games in? Maybe my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren will be the first to know that when TES IX comes out in the 27th century
rough smelt
My question is, what are they gonna do when they run out of provinces of Tamriel...
Skyrim 2
wispy wing
Not from High Rock, but Orsinium is essentially their main settlement.
That would be cool af to see again.
soft vapor
Orsinium's basically like a city-state capitol of Orcs from what I recall
rough smelt
Pepole do like being racists to orcs
wispy wing
I think it's funny that people that are racist to elves in particular in Skyrim have no issue with orcs.
But everyone hates orcs in Skyrim.
Oblivion has a racism mechanic, where certain races have naturally lower dispositions with others.
rough smelt
Oblivion has a racism mechanic, where certain races have naturally lower disposi...
Orcs have all negatives becides orcs
wispy wing
Orcs have lower natural disposition with everyone that isn't an orc.
soft vapor
I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like there has been a wayyyy larger population of orcs in Oblivion than there were in skyrim
And they definitely seem to be treated better in Cyrodiil
wispy wing
I'd still say Skyrim ekes out with the Strongholds, but there is a larger concentration in cities in Oblivion.
soft vapor
Like, there are Orc nobles in the big cities
wispy wing
Before Daggerfall, orcs weren't people.
They were temporarily considered people in ESO thanks to the Aldmeri Dominion of all factions.
soft vapor
Most of them also seem less stuck-up in oblivion
wispy wing
But that was lost as soon as they were replaced with the following incarnation of the Aldmeri Dominion.
soft vapor
Except for this asshole, who murdered my dude in cold blood
wispy wing
Most of them also seem less stuck-up in oblivion
Ocato is my favourite High Elf in the series.
And the Thalmor killed him.
soft vapor
I meant the orcs, but I haven't met him yet
wispy wing
I meant the orcs, but I haven't met him yet
Buzz Buzz Buzz.
soft vapor
Most of the high elves I've met also have been significantly less stuck up as well, now that I think about it

Cyrodiil is largely full of nice people.
Unlike Skyrim.
Even the guards try to be helpful.
Instead of condescending at times like in Skyrim.

His look was heavily inspired by Bayek from AC Origins, but his face was also the least cursed randomizer preset that I could find, which I altered slightly

I wish there was an option to just pay an npc an ungodly amount of gold in order to ascend a whole skill tier
Like they could make it a ridiculous amount such as 20,000 gold for one ascension of 25 skill points to discourage it from being too easy, but it'd be nice to have that option
I don't see myself having the patience to get a lot of skills to 75, let alone 100

Yeah, leveling seems faster in the remake
Deffo not too hard to grind that skill up
I got 100 Destruction in like... twoish days?
rough smelt
Yeah they changed how exp works on alot of skills like merchentile and spells
It's know based on cost instead of just casting it/selling it
Old merchentile was a grind to level because of this having to sell items one by one instead of just selling the stack

How I reget not being a mage…
I made a spell called "Avada Kedavra"
It was basically Drain Health 100, Damage Health 100, Fire Damage 100, Frost Damage 100, Shock Damage 100 , Weakness to Fire 100% 1 second, Weakness to Frost 100% 1 second, and Weakness to Shock 100% 1 second, and Weakness to Magic 100% 1 second
Could've added Poison 100% and Weakness to Poison 100% 1 second
But eh, overkill

Don't put weaknesses on the damage spells themselves.
They don't come into effect until the following hit.

The Akaviri that became the blades were a human race.

That is only one of the Akaviri races.
There's the Demons of Kamal, man-eating Serpent Folk of Tsaesci, the Tiger Dragons of Tang Mo, and the Monkey People of Ka'Po'Tun.

Yes, but Sacre Tor is a human Akaviri stronghold.
The Pale Pass is as far as the Tsaesci came.

Is that why the amulet of viper eye is all snake themed? It was orginally a Tsaeaci artifact?
magic comet
The Akaviri were human? 🤨
The Tsaesci are humans, yes. Or rather, they appear as humans.
There’s two common explanations for why the Tsaesci appear as humans but are described as being serpentine:
- They use a lot of snake imagery for their armor, weapons, and everything.
- They were once serpentine beastfolk but ate the humans of Akavir and became them.

Eh, we have ESO lore that implies the “eating” is the correct one.
Chevaliar Renald is a non-mage and non-vampire who is alive for over a thousand years, and he kind of gives a wry response to the Vestige questioning his longevity.

Hmm, so they eat the humans which made them look human?

Yep because the ultimate goal is to eat dragons.
It’s a myth-echo of Lorkhan and Akatosh trading places.
The Serpent-folk of Akavir are arch-enemies of the Tiger-folk whose King is a Dragon.

Mysterious Akavir is intentionally misleading and not entirely accurate to what is actually true

Tang Mo are the monkey-folk, and the Ka Po’ Tun are not tiger-dragons.
