[@AtticsOfMyLife]

Just started getting into the older TES games, and this really helped me out. If you wanted to do one for Morrowind I would be thrilled, Caedo.

[@matejla4975]

Im going to write down my list of what i do in morrowind to get pretty OP in the start of the game 1 get the key from behind the imperial guy to who you give your papers (will require some sneak) or steal it open your inventory really fast, drop the key, get arrested and pick it up later, you can use this in the character making to get the limeware platter which is valued at 650 gold 2 use the key on the seyda neen legion store house to get imperial gear, skooma, moon sugar and other loot, sell to arile after giving the healing key to fargoth or whatshiname i dont remember( you can get the ring, gold and a better lockpick by talking to a guy upstairs of arriles tradehouse and doing his quest) the skooma and moon sugar can be sold to Rarr in balmora, who can be killed for only a bounty of 40 which is good because he has weapons that can summon daedric weapons, a spear, a long sword and two daggers 3 find the tax collector and falling wizard north of seyda neen, you can google it, i also recommend getting the mentors ring google it too its easy to get 4 clear out the dungeon to the left of seyda neen its a small cave with 3 enemies and slaves that you can free, theres some moon sugar and skooma there that you can sell 5 Join the mages and fighters guild and use the mages guild to travel to other guilds fighter and mages guilds ( theyre always close to each other) and take the potions from the supply chests and sell the ones you dont need 6 In caldera ( there isnt a fighters guild there) you can take armor and weapons from guard towers and sell them to creeper who is located in a house full of orks if you search around you will find its across the street from the guard towers closet to balmora, creeper has a lot of gold and buys all armor and weapons, upstairs in the house where creeper is an ork is standing next to a box with orcish pauldorns, greaves and chestplate, orcish is a pretty good armor set you can take without getting a bounty so good, theres a guy in full orcish set in a shrine in the severs of the vivec city idk which sector 5 in the ald-ruhn temple there is a closet with spears that have an underwater breathing enchantment and an ebony shield of protection (very good)

[@PokePika01]

I hope you know that you calling Oblivion "old" single-handedly aged me 20 years. Now then, where's my Vicodin?

[@ethandolinski5921]

YES

[@Original-Alastor]

@@PokePika01They just meant the games that came before Skyrim and ESO

[@PopeDuwang]

I kinda wish Skyrim kept the Passive perk gain at each Skill Mastery Level while also having perks that can be earned at each level. That way when you get Level 25, 50, 75, or 100 it feels like an actual achievement.

[@JCDenton2000]

Probably one of the biggest things I miss from Oblivion. Hitting 100 skill in Skyrim basically means nothing unless you have actually put perks into it.

[@PopeDuwang]

@@JCDenton2000 Passive Perk Rank Rewards will be something I will always miss. As for things I’d like to be included, one thing I’d like to have altered a bit would be spells. With Spells, one thing that would be cool to balance them is to have a chance they can rebound against the user if the spell is above their current rank (while I believe a Novice shouldn’t be able to cast an Expert spell if they Drank 6 +100 Fortify Magicka, I don’t think they should be excluded from obtaining the spell until that point either). For example, let’s say a Novice has a lot of Magic or drank a lot of potions….enough to summon an Expert Summon. Because that spell is too advanced for them, there is a good chance that the creature they summon turns against them…or the weapon they conjure explodes and you take damage for trying to cast an Expert spell when you are a Novice. As you level up, the rebound % chance decreases until you reach the needed rank and at that point you have full control. Based on that, Masters will have a lock where only a Master can truly utilize the Master Spells while with a Novice they will always fail, an Apprentice will most likely fail (75%), an Adept will fail about half the amount of times (50%) and an expert will fail sometimes (25%). What about you? Are there things (skills, passive ranks, items, way quests are done, etc) you (or anyone who sees this comment) would like to see altered to balance it out better? This was an idea I literally just thought of off the top of my head and wanted to share it before I forgot it.

[@TheLucky994]

Yup I forgot about that, and now I m playing Oblivion again, I didn't even know you gain ability to roll like that at level 50 acrobatics. It is very cool.

[@TrickyTalon23]

That’s what the way better perk system is for

[@jeambeam3173]

Nah L take

[@johnnybigmac5756]

Just beat the game for the first time yesterday, and I'm running through the DLCs now. Great game!! One thing I would say is to be careful with heavy armor. I went quite a ways into heavy armor until realizing how much it slows you down. Eventually, the armor won't slow you down when running if you reach a high enough skill, but I would highly recommend either dedicating some time to quick leveling it up, or just switch to light armor. The game has an 85 armor cap, and you can't go beyond that. By taking some time and playing until you get perk level 100, you will find that you should have no problem reaching that 85 cap regardless of the type of armor. While light armor degrades faster, you'll be weighed down for much longer going the heavy route.

[@F2PMegaGod]

When you do the imperial city market quest involving Thoronir, in the same room you loot Debaser, behind one of the statues, you will find Calibens Grim Retort, a mace that has many enchantments, one of which is absorb blunt. Its a beast against groups since it stacks with each target

[@drrrw]

Got the debaser, kills swiftly but cost a lot of gems for recharge, switch immediately to daedric dagger for extra dps when I got one.

[@csvega]

Duplicate Varla stones.

[@goblinking8510]

Waiting doesn't just heal you it heals everyone. So if you have followers or any kind that you don't want to die. Just wait am hour and they fully heal! Also if your trying war of attrition on a hard enemy don't wait to heal! Just wait in real time and use heal even if it's a weak heal just gotta use it a bunch.

[@buhbuhjaychampagne1706]

Skipping an hour with a companion is how I kept Farwel alive. Huzzah!!!

[@sadboiz4lyfe]

Just wanted to add, for players who have Infamy and can't restore attributes at a shrine, there are potions and spells that restore damaged attributes as well. :-) Thanks for the awesome vid!

[@dimon37]

Also shrines are still usable if you Fame is greater than Infamy. Knights of the Nine has a repeatable (but lengthy) quest to remove your Infamy.

[@mikesummers-smith4091]

1. The weight of potions depends on the ingredient(s) used when _first_ making one of that strength (always with new equipment; sometimes on increasing alchemy skill). For restore health (very useful during combat), boar meat + venison -> 2, while aloe vera + mugwort (for example) -> 0.1. 2. The Lewawiin Fighters Guild has 2 silver longswords, available to members foc. These are the best non-enchanted weapons you can get below about L6. 3. Join the Mages Guild and do the quests asap. Then, enchant several pieces of armour with Shield. 3x petty soul gems will give +18 armour for 1800GP; well worth having if you're in steel with rating 22. 4. Break the game by closing 4 Oblivion Gates at L13-16, and collect 4x Sigil Stones with 25% chameleon. Nothing will be able to hit you with weapons or spells, except by back-biting (e.g. clannfear and elemental atronachs). I usually choose to enchant the wristbands from the practice dungeon, a pair of leather trousers and 2 items of jewellery, so as to minimise weight and to show off my physique. 5. While in shadow (see #4), wale away at enemies with the rusty weapons you saved from the practice dungeon (which do minimal damage) for this purpose to improve your weapon skills at a phenomenal rate. When you're getting tired, use Absorb Fatigue for rapid increases in restoration. Likewise, if you're being back-bitten by a clannfear or the like, use Absorb Health.

[@SseriousGgamer3]

You sir know this game well. However I don’t recommend breaking the game with chameleon, It defeats the challenge. I usually play this game at high difficulty 4/5 on the slider.

[@mikesummers-smith4091]

@@SseriousGgamer3 You can also get 100% chameleon from the Mages Guild if you've got 10k GP to spare. Yes it breaks the game, and destroys all fun; but it's proof of concept, following from the observation that partial chameleon isn't worth having. I dislike the way Bethesda implemented the difficulty slider, and keep it at 3. I didn't mention the other game-breaker, which works best at high difficulty and also ruins the game - recruit an immortal or two (eg Martin and Jauffre) and never complete their quest(s).

This game has great graphics for what it is. I can play it on a potato and it's PERFECT

[@vineousvondrake2456]

you can gain 5 free levels of hand to hand by watching the arena aspirants training for a minute (I think there might be another skill you can do something similar like this but can't remember off the top of my head) to make enemies a little easier (and probably screw yourself over a bit lol) set your major skills as ones you're not likely to use unless you plan on maxing everything out it will keep your level and therefore the enemy's levels down, it will take you longer to max your favorite skills but it can balance out in the end and chameleon is better than invisibility because it doesn't break the second you have to scratch your ass lol

[@smudgey5000]

You can also watch the Blades training

[@thedrifter2790]

I’ve actually been contemplating finally playing TES:IV that I bought for my PC! Thanks Caedo! We love your content!

[@ClassicalPan]

Did you play it? I avoided it for years due to lack of interest, especially after I played through Skyrim (because Skyrim is newer/better), but I recently got into Oblivion and am enjoying it. It's not nearly as good as Skyrim, IMO, but it is good and there are some things that are better. I found that some mods are essential to enjoy the game, such as choosing one that changes the leveling system so you can focus on playing rather than grinding skill levels.

[@samtnu6778]

​@@ClassicalPancould you drop the essential mods' names? I hate grindy games I'm just here to have fun.

[@ClassicalPan]

@@samtnu6778 It's been a while since I've played so it's hard for me to answer that now. I'll look through my list and see what stands out for me. First, the unofficial patches are the obvious ones. After that: Real Retroactive Health Formula, Immersive Leveling, Balanced Creature Stats - Fixed Level Scaling, Auto Update Leveled Items And Spells, Soulgem Magic, Area Harvest - Gather Nearby Plant Clusters, Improved Athletics Leveling. Most others I have are just visual enhancements. The most beautiful housing mod I ever found is Fiddlers Green, if you'd like to look that up.

[@thebr3310]

I really like the way they made the skills level up. It’s really easy to just grind out most of the magic skills. The main skill that’s hardest to level up seems to be sneak and marksman.

[@worldf1re41]

Sneak's not so bad; I just found an area with 2-3 bandits that don't really have a patrol route. Faced a wall, set autowalk on, then went to get a drink and a snack.

[@Mortablunt]

With the sigil stones, you get more out of enchanting for fortify strength instead of feather points. Fortifying strength not only gives you a higher amount of increased carrying capacity. It also let you hit harder with weapons..

[@Jorokusaki]

I had forgotten that Welkynd's recharge everything! Those Sigil stones are also a good way to increase the value of sale items which helps early on. I hit up the farms allot early to make restoration potions for early sale. Really helps for non/late thief builds. Thanks.

[@billyfallows1141]

Dont worry too much about "the levelling problem". Once you hit level 22 you will start getting game changing gear in random loot that will give you a massive edge in combat. Special mention to the mundane ring which halfs magic damage you take and reflects 35% of all melee damage back. The necklace of swords/amulet of axes and ring of the iron fist that all boost blade/blunt/hand to hand respectively by 25 points and each reflect 33% of all melee damage back. You can wear two rings in this game unlike skyrim which means you can combine any of the two necklaces amulets with a ring of the iron fist and mundance ring for total immunity from melee and half all magic damage. Bretons have a natural 50% magic resist which makes them totally immune from magic with this set Ring of perfection boosts every attribute by 10, which is a massive boost for any build, boosting carry weight, stamina, health, magicka, movement speed and skill effectiveness If you have the spell tome add on the tome "touch of death" will appear in necromancer loot chests at level 17, this spell is the best destruction spell in the game against high level enemies, draining health by 250 points for 3 seconds. Any enemies with less than 250 health will be instantly killed. This can be taken further with the weakness to magic spell, which combined with touch of death can boost the drain effectively to up to 500 health drain. More than enough to kill any enemy from full health other than minotaur lords in the end game, but you can just knock them around a bit before use touch of death

[@bravemice2520]

The varla stones can also fully recharge the enchanted weapon you're holding

[@cardboard255]

I noticed at 13:29 that you enchanted the mace incorrectly. Because of the games coding, it activates the enchantments from the top down. Weakness to an element will never affect the damage done by any elemental magic in the same cast of the spell, or same attack of a weapon. That is to say, you can't make a spell or weapon that combines weakness to fire and fire damage (for instance) and cast it once and get extra damage out of it. However, weakness to an element (if the duration is long enough) will affect the damage done in the NEXT cast of a spell or weapon, so if you make a spell that combines weakness to fire and fire damage and cast it twice in a row, the weakness will increase the fire damage on the SECOND cast. BUT. If weakness is first on the list, the second hit will NOT apply the bonus to fire damage, because you're overwriting the weakness with another stack of weakness, therefore you will never be doing the extra damage.

[@wojteks.5132]

Just went back to Oblivion playing with the Heartland modpack. Thanks for the tips!

[@ministryoftruth2869]

I get water walking and skip over the lava to get to the main tower in Oblivion gates

[@b-KvazaR]

16:43 Also if you decide to make a weapon like this with weakness, don't do it like in the video, do it in reverse order ( elemental damage, elemental weakness and only then weakness to magick). Order of enchantments and effects in the spell matter, they apply from top to bottom. You may think that putting weaknesses in the beginning is the right choice, but that will only make your weapon/spell refresh the effects with each strike/cast. Doing it in the order I described will allow the weaknesses to stack exponentially to imsane numbers. But keep in mind that enchantment or spell like that will be very costly

i dont know how everyone likes the LOCKPICKING but ive started playthrough not long ago and noticed that when lockpick hits the thing if it goes FAST you will fail if it goes up SLOW it will stick in place so keep an eye on it and you will be master of lockpicking. Auto-lock fails at Very Easy while im opening Very Hard locks without breaking any lockpick (most of the time) the principal is to see that how Slower and Faster lock thing moves and then youll get that to do better each time.

You can duplicate with scrolls. - Get at least 3 of the same scroll -Equip the scrolls, then double-click them - Go to the item you wish to duplicate and drop it ( for example: a potion of healing) - Exit your inventory, and the item dropped will be duplicated - Duplicated number of items is based on the number of scrolls you have - 200 scrolls will get you 200 potions (or whatever you choose to drop) NOTE: Quest items such as nirnroot and shadowvanish wine can not be duped.

[@sanandreasX]

I used to feel that way too, but now I appreciate the way the dungeons are for some reason.

[@danwatson8245]

Get into the mages guild as quick as possible and learn invisibility spell. Get some decent soul gems and u can make a whole outfit where ur 100 percent invisible. Its basically a cheat code

[@ThingMan332]

Good game. Old gold. Telekinesis is awesome

[@XeonesLinqos]

I miss alot of the oblivion features like armor encumbrance effecting spells, weapon and armor condition and spell crafting.

[@T0b3]

For skills pick the ones you use the most as minor skills and the ones you use the least as major

[@iLLBiLLsRoastBeats]

Better yet choose ones that are easy to control manually for major skills, and choose one for each attribute

[@csvega]

Duplication glitch is the best. It's never detracted from the games fun, and yes it works on console too

[@csvega]

Duplication glitch and it works on console. Make sure whatever you want to duplicate is at 1 in inventory (drop any additional) However many Scrolls you have,ex. 15 Chameleon Scrolls, in your inventory will be However many you will duplicate of the item. You double click the scroll Then go over to what you want duplicated and push the command to drop. Then 15 of that item will drop. Rinse and repeat.

[@uhhshae]

Do we all jump off the top before the oblivion gate explodes? I thought that was just me

[@benyang2081]

3:50 & 16:20 😊

[@BucketBoatable]

Unless you min-max the +5s, you'll have a bad time. Mod that makes it always +5 is higly recommended.

[@captainsaveahoe976]

Thanks bro

[@akunformalitas]

Is there any mods to minimize button clicks in Oblivion? I'm a keyboard person and tend to avoid mouse clicks on everything except for combats only.

[@CaedoGenesis]

Better Menu Controls might be something worth looking into: www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/48144 Searching 'control' on Nexus yielded lots of results too, if it's not.

[@ethanallred2543]

Toggle Item Prompt, or something very similar in name, is perhaps my favorite mod. When holding a hotkey, you can quick sell/move/drop items without having to specify how many and confirm. It’s actually linked in the description of this video. If you need help installing, download the package, unzip it, put all the files into your “Data” folder in the oblivion directory. It’s been awhile but I think I changed my location for it, but the path for me is games/steam/steamapps/common/oblivion

[@kasmstamps1897]

I play on a Xbox 1x with a SSD drive. So much faster. I waited a long time to get it too.

[@ivanvoloder8114]

Every time I leveled up I never got +5. In my case it was allways +2 and +3.

[@6StimuL84]

Need to work more minor skills to ten then.....

[@ivanvoloder8114]

@@6StimuL84 Well that could be the problem because I'm mostly focused on mayors skills. I actually did get +4 once when I was leveling restoration and illusion. Currently focused on getting restoration to 100 so I could craft buffing spells.

[@spatrk6634]

thing is that if you want to min max your character leveling, you need to take primary skills that are easily to control to level up. so if you are focusing on restoration. dont get it above 10 points per level before you level up two different corresponding attribute skills 10 times@@ivanvoloder8114 so restrain yourself from using restoration that much until you get two non primary skills to level up 10 points. thats what trainers are here for

[@iLLBiLLsRoastBeats]

If you are stat maxing, increase endurance +5 at every level first and foremost. Health increases at level up based on your endurance stat

[@opeoluwaafolabi3935]

how did you get to have such a clear and crisp graphics whats your rig spec and what setting are you playing on?

[@CaedoGenesis]

Ultra settings of course! I recorded these on my 1440p display and rendered as such to prevent major compression on KZbin. The mods in the description might've helped a bit too.

[@dra6o0n]

Enemy HP scaling is nuts btw... Lv15 has strong enemies around 150-250 hp. And it gets worse at 30?

[@ku5h_gaming310]

The shaman staff can kill Umbra easy at level 1 so you can quickly get the best armor set in the beginning of the game

[@TheSpiritsLease]

Apotheosis.

[@Darkheart68]

Not on max difficulty

[@akunformalitas]

How to prevent level up? Because companions or followers don't level up with the player but enemies do.

[@kin2skyrim]

​@@akunformalitasjust don't level up, you could finish the entire game at level 1

[@kasmstamps1897]

​@@akunformalitas make the skills you don't use your major skills. eg blunt, heavy, block, sneak, marksman, hand & security. That way you have more control of when you level 😅

[@SseriousGgamer3]

1. what I like to do now is start as a Nord. (Yes I know Bretons are the best choice. But this is a god damn RPG and I already have 20 game completions as a Breton and I’m tired of it.” 2.To mitigate the nords lack of magic, I perma enchant him early with +100 mágika. (Only time I cheat, i don’t like cheating, no duplication, no 100% chameleon.) 3. I play the game on hard (I call it hard because it’s 4/5 on the difficulty slider. I feel this is the best feel for a good challenge. 4. Exist the sewers and immediately head to skingrad and join the mages guild. Do the quest and sell all the alchemy tools in the guild for gold. 5. When I was a casul i used to play with longsword and shield. But now I use a war hammer because it has the longest reach and knock back power. Secondly I don’t need a shield because I focus on not getting hit anyway. 6. conjuration will spawn an ally that will serve as a tank and distraction while you wale your heavy ass war hammer on enemies from the side. 7. Make sure to use feather spells to run faster 8. Enchant your amor with shield, it’s really strong

[@LRSNRCNG309]

A tip i wish i woulda known is that the martin guy can die before you see him and therefore end the main game it seems cuz i dont have a save from before that couldve happened. N so i have no main quests i can do and i cant further that one and im not spending half my real day finding only side quests thatll take 5 minutes to do

[@ethanallred2543]

He is marked as essential I believe, feel free to correct me though. This means he shouldn’t be able to die. If you’re on PC and have done anything with console commands it’s possible you removed his essential status, or it could be that before the quest he is simply not essential. Either way, it’s unfortunate to lose a file! I’d recommend guild quests as they’re (for me) enjoyable and take longer than random quests you find.

[@bacd-nn2lg]

You must be insane to sell out Varla Stone. Only enchanted weapons can deal any proper damage on higher levels of difficulty. For easy money just do Arena, or hunt down ayleid statues quest it's around 10K or more depending on your factions.

[@garycannon4644]

Im late but fuck will o the wisps

[@sgtbash001]

Never knew that sign next to thing at the bottom let you know you could lvl up. Always wondered what it was. Been playing it for like 17 years without knowing

[@dra6o0n]

I got a XP mod but it absolutely broke early game pacing due to a skill pts reauirement. Vanilla gets easier lv ups.

[@DarcyTheManstop]

Now I know how to use my skillpoints😂

[@abhishekranjan1347]

Can anyone tell me where can I find the dungeon shown here in which we can find gems

[@loke1555]

A cato my little yellow friend

[@TheHaiku2]

One of the first tips I give players is that you shouldn't use the vanilla leveling system, that you should use a mod like Oblivion XP, as it solves so many issues with the game, and that if you insist on using using it, at least use a mod like All +5 Attributes to make it a little less tedious. Also, one other MUST HAVE mod for me is: Sigil Stone Selector. It lets you just select the stone you want, so you don't have to play the save/reload game, that you're going to play anyway.

[@picawood]

I tried to play this game and dropped after 30 minutes, maybe i will try again

[@GuardDog42]

Stick with it, the game is amazing

[@bacd-nn2lg]

Try out Dark Brotherhood quest.

[@ThedownwardS]

dupe glitch is your friend, don't be scare of using it

[@benyang2081]

4:22 🙂

[@aniruddhamallick9717]

hey how do i increase my dmg in oblivion i am currently lvl 9 and somehow i am not dealing much dmg. why is that??

[@spatrk6634]

because enemies scale with your level. and items you find are also scaled at your level you will never deal lots of damage. you will maybe find some bad ass weapon at one level, but once you level up you dont encounter goblins anymore but minotaurs and the weapon you found previous level is suddenly crap you can however gradually reduce difficulty when enemies become damage sponges.

[@ethanallred2543]

An alternative to what the previous person’s comment said, efficient leveling is quite helpful. Tedious, perhaps, but leveling that way generally nullifies the need to reduce the difficulty. There are mods that make it easier, I don’t use them so I can’t recommend any, unfortunately. Oblivion’s scaling is somewhat notorious for being poorly designed, but I still find a lot of enjoyment in all aspects of the game, including leveling. It is a grind though.

[@kalythai]

You yield by pressing E!? I thought it was just blocking at people!

[@porterwake3898]

Leveling up = DONT DO IT.

[@45mcolt]

This games quite a bit harder than skyrim.

[@matthewcooper7296]

I don’t need tips I just need a Paralysis potion and a poor city dwellers pockets

[@igorstudart]

I was wondering why the game was getting so fucking hard. I just wasn`t leveling up lol

[@SlavaPunta]

Careful though. The enemies scale with you too. The game is notorious for getting too hard or even unplayable when you start maxing out stats (when ironically you should actually be the strongest). Worst case is leveling up via soft skills like sneak and lock picking too soon, which can really leave things like combat and armor lacking. There are leveling efficiency guides out there. But in the old days it was basically common knowledge to simply back down the game difficulty slider every so often. Particularly when you notice things like common bandits becoming damage sponges = you've over leveled.
