Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Intro Cinematic

Getting ready for Skyrim? Get a blast of nostalgia from the intro cinematic to Bethesda's last Elder Scroll game, Oblivion. Oh the hours we've poured into this game...

[@Leahey1]

I remember showing this opening to my friend.......about 10 seconds after the words OBLIVION came up on screen he was out the door, in the car and driving to the nearest video game store to buy it....classic.

[@lodziklocPL]

Sounds like he's pretty impressionable.

[@lawdpleasehelpmeno]

I remember watching this after falling in love with Morrowind, and being so excited. Then I experienced level scaling.

[@ParanoidOwlet]

The voice acting in this small piece is amazing. The smallest inflections, such as when after "These are the final days of the Third Era...", there's an intake of breath, a pause "...and the final hours of my life." A short pause between historical and personal. Patrick Stewart never fails to deliver.

[@mattd2275]

Agreed. Epic delivery. Another comment on here says that Patrick Stewart was given a huge dossier on Elder Scrolls lore which he duly read and understood. I’m convinced that’s true because you can hear in his delivery that he knows how important to some people this is.

The best intro in any Elder Scrolls game. Definitely a lot better than "Hey you, you're finally awake."

[@celphalonred1999]

Nah, kinda shit really. "Hey you, you're finally awake" as you wake up in skyrim being escorted to your execution only to be interpreted by the coming of the dragons, and the world eater himself, is indeed far better.

[@Bauglir100]

@@celphalonred1999 Yeah, but Skyrim's opening is not worth experiencing every goddamn time you start a new game. At least in Oblivion, you can skip the intro video and go straight to the character creation part. Skyrim takes three and a half unskippable minutes before you get off the wagon to get to the character creation section, and then you have to go through the whole execution sequence, and then you have to run to the keep and fight your way through the entire tutorial dungeon to get out of Helgen. And unlike Oblivion and Fallout 3, you don't get the option to change the character you created one more time right before you go out into the world for the first time, which would've saved you the trouble of having to go through the dungeon all over again. So you have no choice but to experience that grand opening over and over every single time you want to create a new character. And with all the re-releases and ports Skyrim has received, you're going to be seeing that grand opening a lot. So most people are basically sick of it by now, and it's become a joke over the years.

[@hobomike6935]

"hey, YOU. you're finally awake" has charm in it's own way. the problem with this game's intro is it makes the imperial city seem so big and bad@$$, it's almost misleading since the actual imperial city is way smaller once you get to start up the game and explore it with your character. you can, of course, mod the game to fix this, but I just remember skyrim living up to how big it's world seemed to be compared to oblivion, which just felt a little smaller than I had hoped :(

I found Oblivion a lot more enjoyable than Skyrim. Don't get me wrong, Skyrim was a great game and at first I absolutely loved it, but eventually Skyrim got really boring and I felt like the gameplay had become dull. With Oblivion it never felt that way and I still play Oblivion today. (I do really hate the way Argonians look in Oblivion after playing Skyrim though xD) This is just a personal opinion so I'm not stating that Oblivion is better.

[@SenseiMewtwo12345]

Have you ever tried playing an Argonian vampire in Oblivion? My current file is an vampire Argonian Shadowscale. In theory, the most epic thing ever. However, when you become a vampire as an Argonian, your eyes are retextured to look like the eyes of a vampire of any other race, just larger, and it looks so horrible xD

[@seedybiscuit]

SenseiMewtwo12345 You have inspired me to become a vampire. My favourite race is definitely Argonians so I don't need to change that.

[@_NutcasE_]

I agree that oblivion was great. It certainly is a great game but i enjoy skyrim more. some say skyrim has lesser things to do and oblivion has more, perhaps. But i have completed all sidestories in oblivion aswell Both got boring to me until i discovered modding and replaying value. The story in these games is so solid and i don't want to pick a favorite. My favorite elder scrolls game is them all combined in this amazing lore and story.

[@seedybiscuit]

Oblivion seems more like a role play to me. Skyrim does the role play for you... if you get what I mean. Not saying that is a bad thing, not at all! I was just comparing them.

1:56 That is one HUGE imperial guard!

[@seedybiscuit]

lol, ikr! that's what I always thought watching this! I'm glad I'm not the only one that spotted it

[@JohnSmith-qb1gw]

Bloody hell I spotted him the first time. Didn't find him huge but you can't miss 'im.

[@furrydragon5596]

I diddnt really see that he was big buy now that I look at it I realize it

[@reinerei8294]

Anyone notice the Guard walking is huge at 1:58

[@prhecuh]

the best intro to any game ever

[@BananaSlug911]

Oblivion and morrowind the best TES games. Skyrim is boring and not much from rpg.

[@isturbo1984]

and when TESVI comes out, you and the nerds will rave about how superior Skyrim was to TESVI... give it a rest.

[@BananaSlug911]

I'm pretty sure they will say TES VI is better. But only because it's new. Those fools don't know what they're talking. They do care about graphics only.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

Giedrius911G Oh Reeeeeeeeeeeeally? Because All I hear are people complaining about how the newest game sucked and the older games are superior.

[@bingus646]

EnderDwarf3 They always complain like that, "Oh this feature that was in Daggerfall isn't in Morrowind," "Oh this isn't in Oblivion," "Oh my God this feature isn't in Skyrim!"

[@OnAChairSitting]

Giedrius911G Letting nostalgia get to you? The only reason you're saying that is because you have some bullshit nostalgic connection to Morrowind.

[@yadah44]

Oblivion for me is more colourful than Skyrim tho Skyrim has great mechanics and easier control

[@genericgeorge4933]

Oooh, the nostalgia is *strong* on this one. Thank you for making my teen years less painful oblivion. You will always be in my heart.

[@King_Skulz347]

Skyrim: ha nobody can top my intro theme Oblivion: hold my sword 1:30

[@idontbelieveinthealliespro4426]

Hold my Amulet of Kings*

[@jannernism759]

Thank you for the amazing childhood.

[@Flat_Earth_Addy]

childhood? ;p;

[@lyedavide]

Better than Skyrim in my humble opinion. The Elder Scrolls series is probably the best alternative reality role playing games ever. From Daggerfall to Skyrim, I literally lived and breathed in Tamriel.

[@kebbit4779]

1:58 why the guard walking in the city 15 ft tall? never noticed until today

[@hannesjosefsson8194]

Damn, I got really happy hearing this intro once again. Best Game EVER.

[@aninditapaul9291]

Imo not the best game ever.

[@jammygammy3769]

Remember, this is the same company that later made Skyrim’s hour long cart ride.

[@AdinBenYosef]

Does anyone think that The Elder Scrolls could easily be the greatest fantasy series of all time?

[@liamwalsh3925]

GOD DAMN! THE CHILLS YOU GET FROM THIS VIDEO!

[@danielanderson6013]

Just the intro makes me want to play it again.

[@CDCsenma]

We need a TES4 remake
