Can You Beat Oblivion With Poison Only?

Ahhh, Oblivion, the game that heard it could be anything it wanted to be, so decided to be a potato. But of course, the real question as always is: can you beat Oblivion with poison only?

Every time I see an Oblivion video I always want to load it up and remember the good ol days, but every time I do, I just listen to the banger main theme, make a character, leave tutorial jail, and shut it off. great video! :)

Took me a moment to recognize Sean Bean with these advanced faces

[@Makujah_]

Funny how it is. All other NPCs look vastly better with OCO, but these two, Martin and Armand really step into uncanny valley for me. And it's more weird, because of the fact that I didn't engage with Jauffre and Martin a lot, I think I even went to Kvatch only one or twice in my life😅

[@geneticTechnician]

1:39 "I would need more poisons and potions to achieve the same result on higher difficulty" You actually wouldn't! The way difficulty works in Oblivion is to apply a percentage modifier to the amount of damage you deal to enemies and enemies deal to you, and because of the way poisons are coded to apply their effects, the difficulty modifier isn't applied to them. This makes poisons one of the VERY few options to deal decent amounts of damage on max difficulty settings.

[@titanics.o.s2101]

"Something, something toxic run"-Baron 2006 That was great! Oblivion is one of my fav games

[@supercellodude]

Poison only in Morrowind would effectively be magic only since I don't think there is zero physical damage melee or ranged ammo. Also, both Daedra and Sixth House member can sport some reflect magic innately even if you weaken their resistance to poison damage. You'll probably want to take a character with poison resistance (Argonian or Redguard iirc) along with Alchemy as a major skill to make restore magicka potions.

[@sigmazeta2044]

Ring of Toxic Cloud go bbbrrrttt

[@swssm4741]

Or high elf/Breton for more Magicka to make more poison

[@sigmazeta2044]

well what do you know there's a channel called "Just Background Noise" did exactly just that, sort of, he didn't set Alchemy to major skill just so he could get max Intelligence gain without being forced to level up early

This game was how I first got into ES, however while I’ve not played in years, it’s a Baron video so watching and liking is a must. Apart from that, I hope you’re doing well mate and yes I will always make time for the “British music meme man” apart from doing a marathon of your vids.

Baron, question: What takes longer, the script or composing the music?

[@ItsJoKeZ]

yo nice intro song bro 😂 actually brilliant

[@timoteiNitrogen]

AFAIK you can stack poisons even with same names (not sure about that last part), but just to be safe you can have damage health 1 2 and 3 to stack them on enemies :)

[@timoteiNitrogen]

As for more in-depth oblivion tips, when spamming spells to train (or fight) its fastest to have a weapon in hand and constantly press block, this makes cast animation shorter allowing you to spam more.

Next Oblivion challenge: figuring out how to level properly. Seriously, the leveling in this game was so jank. The opposite of that would be a Baron's video drop - jank not detected. Everything is perfectly normal. PS - Just needed to say that your Puddle of Mudd/Orphan of Kos video is literally one of the best things on the internet. Bravo. Edit: Dang, didn't even take you five minutes to get to the leveling. I should've trusted you. 😅

[@EddieSpaghetti69]

It's confusing because the same skills you want to level to be stronger make you weaker as your enemies grow stronger then you. An easy way to keeping your level low in Oblivion is to pick major skills that you can control easily while leaving minor skills with things you'll use often. A weapon+armor skill often is what overlevels people when you combine it with Acrobatics, Restoration, Athletics, Destruction, Stealth, or Illusion. You'll use it often and level up often with incomplete stacks of +5 stats which leads to issues. It's not balanced. That's just how Oblivion is. Once you know how to stack it in your favour it becomes easier.
