My husband's favorite game that he played shortly after it came out was Oblivion. He told me about the craft system of spells and that you wont be able to get thrown into battles like Skyrim. Then I come across you video and I'm like damn... well it must really be true then. Only thing I do bot like about Oblivion is the graphics, but I'll live with it just to play it.

[@stillamitchinmybook6320]

I wonder if you can mod the graphics like every one does for Skyrim... I don’t know personally cuz I don’t have pc but if they do I wonder if it’s good enough to make it look like a somewhat decent game graphically..

[@daralove3691]

[@lordsprietsma228]

@Der Panda well if you have ever read any books I Skyrim they will talk about the Oblivion crisis. The talk about it in general, reoccuring players and last names, the fact that instead of moving forward you move back it just makes it so much more interesting.

I've recently been watching through the Oblivion Lets Played on your channel and my god am i excited to play through it for the first time. I've only ever played Skyrim but have watched countless lore videos and read among hundreds of detailed books. The immense size and depth to the rich lore is hidden behind only a layer of curtains. Honestly cannot wait to experience events such as the oblivion crisis in the flesh. Absolutely loving these videos! Love from NSW! ':D

[@KisukePM21]

Absolutely fantastic game! Though my first Oblivion character ended unfortunately. Got stuck with an auto save, which happened to be my only “somewhat recent” save of the character, where I was in the middle of the wilderness during the day with blood-starved vampirism. No amount of running and healing potions/spells could fend off that sunlight long enough to find shelter.... Anxiously waiting for Skyblivion in the mean time :)

[@iseslc]

couldn't you 'tgm' to safety and save there? I know it's cheating, but...

[@sommerblume9671]

Is oblivion even older than morrowind/harder to set up today?

[@sommerblume9671]

Firehawk Gaming I get them mixed up from time to time as i've never played them and haven't looked into the lore enough. The titles don't help me either, as I also often forget that Skyrim is "V" while Oblivion is "IV" and Morrowind "III" - which can sometimes mess me up. It is quite rude as it's just an unnecessary condescending tone - simply tell me i got it wrong and move on. Anyways i'm going to look into guides first, since i'd like to have the games be set up nicely with whatever mods to enhance gameplay/appearance.

[@sommerblume9671]

Firehawk Gaming Thank you and no problem :) Yeah i meant mostly texture mods since i'd like the games to look good. Don't need to mod it heavily on my first playthrough.

[@symbiotesoda1148]

I actually have a similar story about oblivion being the reason I was pulled into the elder scrolls. I picked up the game when I was around 11 and it just changed my whole perspective on story telling and video games. I was totally obsessed. Also interestingly enough I just restarted a mage play through lol. I totally agree with all your rationale and much love guys.

Skyrim was my first ever elder scrolls game. Played over 1,000 hours. With more time on my hands I decided to get oblivion 2 weeks ago after watching this video... After 100 hours on oblivion I’m convinced it’s better than skyrim. A game so far ahead of it’s time..

Factions were so good compared to Skyrim, they actually made you think about the quest you were doing rather than running into a dungeon and back out again (although that was an option if you so wished :P )

[@ZeldAlice]

It's been some days since I saw this video (I nowadays often watch KZbin-videos offline), but ever since then and thanks to this video of yours I've been playing Oblivion and I now wish to thank both you and this video for the inspiration! In this video all of these 5 reasons are damn good SOLID reasons and it was surely enough for me to give Oblivion a new chance (there's been some times now that I've started to play Oblivion and created a new character everytime but got bored less than halfway into the game), I did once finish the main story of Oblivion but I wish to experience this game mostly at its full contents and all it has to offer. Other, I am more of a Skyrim lover, but I always want to give this game a chance for I believe there's still alot more to its story and lore wich I haven't yet discovered, and new wonders to see. And for this, your question to us viewers at the end of your video, I cannot yet answer answer because I have experienced and seen too little of Oblivion. But once again, I thank you for this video and relighting anew my interest in Oblivion in full, can't wait to experience the reasons you listed here in my own playthrough. I also can't wait til once I try the Shivering Isles dlc too!

[@Samukuai]

Most people complain about the enemy scaling when it comes to oblivion. As soon as you understand the levelling system, you can create a pretty badass character. Enemy health is not an issue if you understand poison making (imp gall+spittle stick ftw). Blocking is a serious deal for damage mitigation. And spellmaking can be one of the most OP parts of the game. It's pretty easy when you take the time to learn it. I would compare it to Path of Exile. Super difficult, but understanding the mechanics goes a long way.

[@MidoriDad]

Oblivion was my 1st ES game. Very fond memories of (especially the cheat system). However I still prefer skyrim's gameplay aspect. I wish that you could allocate more abilities to the armor like in Oblivion though. Wonderful masterpiece that started my love for the Elder Scrolls series. I was love to visit the Aedric & Daedric realms this go round in ES 6 as well

Oblivion renewed my hope in elder scrolls after the mess that was daggerfall. (I did not get morrowind until 2016.)

[@docmarons3782]

I got Oblivion on release. I watched the pre-release teasers about radiant AI and the physics system. I played it throughout highschool daily, I was bedridden sick for a week and played it from waking to sleep during that period. After high school I played and modded it daily. During art college it was my focus of every project. I have every single version of it ever made, including collector's edition and the septim that came with it, which I carry in my wallet. I'm now 27, I got Oblivion at 15. I would not doubt that my total playtime for Oblivion is not just weeks, but months. I could hum every track from it. I've probably done every quest, found every easter egg, and played hours upon hours of it while watching fudgemuppet on the other monitor or tablet when on console. Play Oblivion if you haven't, from a person whose life would be drastically different without it, take my word for it.

[@TomppaP85]

Oblivion - such happy memories! I was so immersed in it that one time, while going to the local library, I almost jumped to the library's flower bed to harvest spring crocuses. But then I remembered I wasn't in Tamriel.

[@COctagons]

I watched this video because FudgeMuppet, though I didn't need to, as I still do play it. Even after 13 years, it's still one of my favourite games of all time. I was persuaded to give it a try by two separate friends all those years ago, and I'm so glad I gave in to peer pressure. Even if it didn't have a special place in my heart, it's still miles ahead of most AAA games today in terms of... well, basically everything bar the purely technical. I've come back to it again and again over the years, and only last year I started 2 new playthroughs, and a third one only in February. I'm even thinking about starting up a 4th playthrough despite not having finished my first 3 yet. That said, I have to agree on every point in this video, but I'll add one more: Sidequests. The sidequests in Oblivion are some of the most interesting, engaging, well-written, and simply fun quests you'll experience in gaming. Entering a painting to take out some painted trolls, grab the magic paintbrush that made them and get back out again; using a magical spell to turn everyone at a noble dinner party NAKED; joining a guild of vampire hunters and rooting-out the vamp amidst their ranks; or how about fulfilling a village's doomsday prophecy and making the sky *RAIN FLAMING DOGS?!* I think that speaks for itself...
