The fun thing about max difficulty in Oblivion is that, thanks to level scaling, you know it'll never get any better. It's Sisyphus the whole way.

[@user-pq8pp4pq9o]

[@okamiyami]

Actually it does get easier once you reach certain levels, some quest items and rare drops like the mundane ring make the game trivial once you start stacking reflect damage and resist magic. Plus most of your damage starts to show when you actually reach level 100 in certain skills

"The only way to play Oblivion is to break it." Agreed

[@nathanbrute9075]

I feel like Micky's got the perfect "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks" energy to discover some kinda monumental game breaking glitch. Sometimes I look at inputs done in speed running and wonder how the fuck they thought of that, they're actually channelling Mickgorath's energy.

That impression of dark elves in Morrowind vs Oblivion was the hardest I’ve laughed in a while man hahaha

[@MisfortunateJustice]

[@M-Z-E-U-J-HB]

You have to use conjuration for an easy start on the hardest difficulty, the skeleton dies easy, but it is scaled like an enemy not like you, so they have 6x more damage. You can always run away while regenerating magicka to spawn a distraction skeleton

Yo, love the Dragon Age reference. They're not as "open" as The Elder Scrolls (except with dialogue and characters) but Dragon Age: Origins is still by far one of the best games ever. If you haven't, and I'll check after writing this, please play it on the channel. Add whatever mods you want. I'd just love to see some DA:O shenanigans.

[@titanjakob1056]

Honestly if they remade it with inquisitions gameplay I would definitely re buy it lol

Little trick: I noticed you weren't blocking when using your healing spells in the poison room. Blocking while casting spells cancels the spell animation allowing you to cast spells much faster.

[@GaybrohamStinkton]

The hard part is that enemies get exponentially stronger, whilst almost nothing you do does anything. When combined with weapons stats being static making questing useless. I'm pretty sure you can do literally 0 damage to enemies. I think one of the DLC might tier up some of the weapons? Wasn't on PS3 though

The only viable method of combat in 100% difficulty Oblivion is Conjuration bc your summons are not affected by the difficulty.

its the other way around, they are affected by the difficulty so they do a lot more damage

Conjuration could be a good skill to invest in if you ever subject yourself to this pain again, since your summons don't deal pitiful baby damage like you.

I keep wanting to do a thing like this. Like forcing myself to do every quest line. Every time I cross paths with a daedra, at the end of the quest I have to start over with a character themed to match the daedra. But also throw mods into the mix and add and remove mods each cycle to match the daedra in question. Make it truly interesting.

@@justingiesbrecht6969 It also sounds like hell. Because I don’t like Oblivion much at all.

@ahh thats just grand “Money isn’t scarce” What are you talking about?
