How to MASTER The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Part 1

[@DontDisapPyrrha]

It’s 2020, you just wake up and you see your favorite Skyrim KZbinr playing a 14 year old game that isn’t Skyrim and you get the notification 4 minutes into watching

[@NameLoading...PleaseWait]

He is not my favourite Skyrim KZbinr...I like George more...Zero Period Productions he is my favourite!!!!

[@eccentricjoe5410]

Not sure why, but I've just been into oblivion lately. And now you create this video. *ITS A SIGN*

[@mkh1688]

Yeah, I've been raiding shetcolmbe farm like an occupation for the potatoes.

[@rapidsqualor5367]

I'm high on Felldew

[@PashaOCE]

Im a 1 week old skooma addict

[@sardybzi5140]

Omg, thank you. It drives me crazy when I see people complain about the leveling in oblivion, and playing at high levels. I always kept track in a notebook. 😂😂😂 My ex told me I was crazy, but he was the one that had to stop playing because the game got to hard for him😂😂😂

[@mrlordcatvods5047]

i just bought oblivion so thank you for making this guide this will help allot

[@mookrules5087]

How?

My First Elder scrolls Game ♥️ Straight Up In Love

[@kurtisbennett239]

Also how tense is the outro music and the closeup of the Irishman staring straight into your soul

[@mookrules5087]

I just got this old game, I'm pretty new to gaming, started during lockdown. I watch videos to learn and get the hang of games etc.. This is literally the most confusing video I have ever watched. Has anyone, ever, gained anything from this? Has it helped anyone? So of course I subscribed..ha!

[@mkh1688]

+5/+5/+1 is better late game. Every 5 points in luck is 2 point bonuses to every skill. I roll breton/ the their(for ,+10 luck), and choose luck and endurance in custom class. +1 always in luck every level up. Always use alchemy in minor since poisons and shield potions will carry you so far early game.

[@richarddkearney]

After playing through Oblivion the first time I decided on my second playthrough it would be fun to pick Major skills that I never use so I would tend not to level. Then I played the game attempting to never use my major skills. I have no idea why people say the game is hard as I can play the entire game and stay a low level. Actually I didn't even know some people thought the game was hard until recently. Did people 14 years ago think it was hard or have games have gotten so similar that people no longer know how to play something different?

[@scottymonochrome3795]

The gratification that you get from Oblivion is not like the immediate gratification one gets in Skyrim. In Skyrim, you can pop skill points into skill trees immediately, and see how that selection advances you. In Oblivion, you have to level up some skills to level up your character, which you have to sleep to do, so that you can get a bonus to stats and base amounts, and do it all over again. Oblivion is just a slower pace game. Not a bad thing, like you said, just different.

[@randelnowell2159]

I'm about to start Oblivion for the first time in a few days. Needed this, thanks! Liked and subbed.

[@sleepyproduction7166]

Dude, anytime I ever talked about how I play, which is similar to yours, they say I play wrong. It’s not my fault that sneaking in, getting a couple shots off with a bow. Then charging in with a sword, axe, while conjuring and shooting fireballs is the most fun way to play. Skyrim doesn’t let you dabble in everything without being weak later on. I’ve loved this game since I was a kid, and I’ve always picked Breton because my older cousin who taught me morrowind said ‘the way you want to play would be better with a Breton’ and I like it. I do play with other races, but my main playthoughs are as Breton. Also the bruma house is good for bones. Unlike in Skyrim where you can only pick up skulls oblivion let’s you pick up each individual bone. Which makes great decorations

[@fuzzy231]

I have always loved Oblivion more than Skyrim for the added difficulty that it had compared between the 2. Seeing how to level up properly will definitely help me with my gaming. Thank you for playing this gem.

[@StraightUpIrishJames]

Welcome to a brand new playthrough. Be sure to leave a like or dislike and a comment, ill be reading and answering them! Also follow my instagram, link is in description! Than you for watching!

[@marilynwasserman9860]

Lovely illustration of why it's best to understand a subject BEFORE attempting to explain it. There are approximately 1 million better explanations of Oblivion's , um, "challenging" levelling system.

[@ItsGuanzo]

This is what I needed Oblivion, explanation of leveling broke my head tho lol 😂

[@Mirko_Doggen]

He did it semi wrong. Pick the race that suits you best, then pick the birthsign that suits you best (most of the time thats the warior, the thief, the mage, the apprentice or the atronach). Allways make a class, the specialization should be opposite of what skills you want to use (for example Irish is a warrior mage so he should have picked the thief specialization). the major skills should be skills that you don't use or don't use often and that are easy to level.

[@shamikghosh1737]

@@Mirko_Doggen take 1 major skill for each stat, for e.g. blade, block, sneak, acrobatics, destruction, mysticism, illusion. Try to take skills that you can level up quickly, max out endurance first. You'd also have a waste skill for each stat, like if you use h2h and major blade for str you can use blunt weapons while levelling, you can also level combat skills like blade, blunt, h2h, marksman easily if you get the staff of everscamp from leyawin after the sewers. Level up first to the point where you have maxed str, end, int, agi atleast i usually level everything except for luck to 100 and then start playing, thats about lvl 45 besides you get all the cool stuff at high levels anyways. Use the uesp oblivion character planner to plan your character out. Warrior birthsign only gives 18 hitpoints extra at 688 at max lvl 51 compared to my apprentice high elf 670 hp also at lvl 51, 100 magicka is a lot more valuable in my opinion, explore 100% spell reflect and 100% reflect dmg options. Get into spell making early on. GL!!

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

Im thinking of a replay of this. I shall watch your playthrough. Good call young sir me scamp.

[@tyrander1652]

There is no need for mods or notebooks. 1) Start with a race+birthsign combo that gives 65 endurance for fighter, bow user, or hybrid. Start with 55 endurance for a magic user. There is no need for strict efficiency after that. 2) Put your specialty fighting skill into majors plus one or two skills that help it but you can hold off on using until you master that fighting skill. 3) Put Armorer, Heavy Armor, Athletics, Light Armor and any extra melee skills into minor skills. 4) Buy 5 trainer lessons each level (when you can afford them) in Armorer (or Heavy Armor) until Endurance is maxed. 5) Repair everything as often as possible for Armorer points. Hammers are free in City crates and barrels. Armorer 75 boosts your weapon one rank in power so elven does glass damage etc. That is it. Leveling increases enemy power. Higher fighting skill kills higher enemies. This build strategy let's your fighting skill points control leveling in such a way that you always gain power on the enemy. Specialty major skills build 2x faster than normal so you do as little fighting as possible for the points. Also, no glitches needed for Max difficulty. Just go with male Breton +Warrior sign+ Mage class. Take Destruction to 50 from tutorial to Skingrad zombies doing mages guild a.s.a.p,. and then focus 100% on Conjuration and Alchemy/poison. Conjuration (zombies, clannfear, and dremora lord) +bandits and marauders gives you gear to repair for Armorer skill. Enchant bows with command and poison stacking ability. Hack/punch away with melee as the enemy is fighting your summons if you want strength points.

[@ZomgLolPants]

I always pick one skill from each attribute as a major.

[@dabunnybadass]

HELL YEA dude love the videos about the elder scrolls series im a massive fav and would like to make a serjustion try playing them but showing all the exsplots and playing a little bit of terraira

[@ethanol8896]

r u going to continue the skyrim series ?

[@StraightUpIrishJames]

yes, of course

[@adamdyson3977]

Pretty sure you got this totally wrong, as you have over levelled skills and had more than 3 on the 1st level you have effectively wasted skills to learn on future level ups. So now you are going to have to spend an absolute age in prison to reduce your skills down to allow you to use those in the future.

[@SisyphusJP]

Forgot how useful prison is

[@auroramariealmeara8622]

Your not terrible . I love your videos. People need to leave you alone.

[@Glitch_Online]

I spent so long figuring this out... a lot of people don't know this even now. Keep up the good videos man.

[@jenniferperez3910]

I love how the character dances with you as you check stats lol

[@ryanmann5497]

In that case, wouldn’t it be better to have your majors be skills that make leveling easy but also be skills that you won’t really be using? Then just utilizing your minor skills for gaining points? As I side benefit of this, your main build skills would all be minor skills so you’d never have to break your gameplay just to grind

[@pienoaji]

being an adult and buying your own shit is so weird. I don't understand why anything is priced the way it is. Why did my salon appointment cost 8 toothpastes? Why does a pair of socks cost 1 sandwich but a fancy dinner costs a whole winter coat? Why is a book the same cost as 2 bags of apples? Nothing makes sense I just wanna steal

[@benjaminharmon6541]

All this time I've been levelling efficiently without raising the difficulty, and wondering why I was bothering keeping track of my skills when the game wasn't that hard. Now I think I'm going to stop caring about level bonuses and just turn down the difficulty once enemies start out-levelling me. I love Oblivion to death, but its level system makes me miss the old-school system in Morrowind. Skyrim's is just all right. I can't forgive the lack of Acrobatics.

[@nukehall6471]

Currently a level 21 argonian on my current oblivion playthrough endurance and strength in the 90s. I just run like a madman through oblivion gates with chameleon leather armour

Love the oblivion vid :}

[@kurtisbennett239]

You Inspired me to do a legendary play through all the way up to level 60 on a conjuration/destruction mage character Guess its time for Oblivion Keep up the good work on all you videos man, I cant watch your streams live but I have been watching all the ones you've uploaded Much love from Australia :))

[@szykowny6017]

You don't need to sell the Ayleid Statue. You can just go straight to Umbacano and sell it to him for much more.

[@brentramsten249]

the leveling system in oblivion is easy. the best way to level is: dont. just pick 7 major skills youll never level up and the rest of the game will be filled with low level easy enemies with tiny level restricted health pools.

[@benjaminharmon6541]

And shit loot and no Daedric quests, but to each their own.

[@Amerwiccan]

Yikes.

[@SisyphusJP]

Fuck that just turn the difficulty down to shit and enjoy

[@Nukerunner21]

I remember Borleifur! Also you should do more videos of oblivion.

[@mrtoxicrain8772]

Is this game still worth playing? Never have and I love Skyrim but I know its kinda old

[@Danlovar]

It is very old... like Madonna.

[@WillowTitov]

Totally worth playing.

@@Danlovar except it's still insanely fun even after 14 years.

I love your background music

*Class: FatDab 4.0* Obviously, this is the best class in the game.

Love Oblivion. Best of the series

[@orion1848]

Apotheosis and conjuration are lifesavers for the main quest in this game.

the skills you will be using the most should not be your chosen major skills.

What graphics card would you like to have, and which are you likely to replace your current card with?

[@JustDaZack]

Just here dancing to the background GROOVE :)

[@pseudonym9599]

Immediately liked because Oblivion!

[@FaolanHart]

Its complicated at first & more than a little poorly designed. ( eg. A warrior setup should not result in a better mage than a mage setup). But once you figure out how it works it's insanely easy to level broken as all hell characters.

[@darthreven9061]

If we are talking about a class that uses swords and magic your thinking probably two things spellblade/spellfencer or Red mage. Red mage is a final fantasy thing but the general gist is melee weapon with the ability to use mid tier spells.

[@JimPanzeeEsq]

I havent even finishe dthe Skyrim vids D:

[@Solythetree]

Bruh I literally installed Oblivion yesterday to play again. How did you know?!

[@auroramariealmeara8622]

I love Oblivion.

[@stygian_sabre9208]

What's the track around 16:15?

[@Southized]

I had oblivion back in 2008 but lost it and never got to play it. Now in 2020 its 4.99 at the game store and i had to pick it up 😂

[@remnantsofkigol98]

I still need to finish this game... Now you're going to help me MAHAHAHAHA

[@evandeer440]

Are u supposed to level your major levels 5 times per level or 10 to get this plus 5 when leveling. That’s the only thing that confused me

[@GhoulF4ngz]

Don't you dare forget the Skyrim series lmao

[@paradise808]

Or there is a mod to gian 3x plus 5 in any case at each lvl, so you can play the actual game without CONSTANTLY payong attention to every single stats gain

[@Alvis_A]

Not gonna be watching this cuz I wanna experience oblivion for myself some day, nothing personal

[@Amerwiccan]

Lol ok but like why waste the time to comment this?

[@vidbegonja3989]

one word 5 letters, skill

[@colinwhitlock5148]

Oblivion leveling is harder to explain than it actually is

[@OtrTrash]

Protip; don't level up in Oblivion... I'm aware of efficient leveling, it doesn't matter. You hit higher levels and enemies will start staggering you every time you get hit, even if you block. This is why melee and block is horrible in Oblivion late game. Don't get hit... Or, just don't level up. Use fortify enchantments or spells instead.

[@adityanadgauda]

EPISODE 16 hmmmpppfff

[@javiervizcarrondo6971]

Yes!!!!

[@thedarkness944]

More oblivion!!!!

[@spicydeath82]

one of bethesda's dumbest decisions was getting rid of the primary attributes. why they didn't make them level like the skills do(like how they work in kingdom come) i'll never understand. that's all they had to do. they could have added perk trees to each of them. i hate the whole only getting a max of 10 to either health, stamina or magica on level up.

[@Solythetree]

I was so bad at Morrowind I had to do this just to not die.

[@marilynwasserman9860]

Poor sucker is playing the default warrior class?? Worst possible class choice. Maybe he should have watched a few Oblivion videos before making one? First rule - MAKE YOUR OWN CLASS.

[@Cherry-bo7jn]

Why play a nord when you can play a SNAKE! Wait you say no snakes in this game either!?!?! shame...

[@katana__death420]

NANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NONAME-ey6qs]

I've already bought skyrim becouse of you. Now I want to buy Oblivion. Is this some kind of plan to brainwash me to buy all tes games. If there is Todd behind you pointing gun to your head bling twice.

[@honkhonk5000]

Oblivion got me started on elder scrolls. I highly recommend it but nostalgia is probably a larger factor than I’m willing to admit.

i love you james

[@mlglord2261]

Hello

[@TheLegendaryRPGXD]

vid vid

[@henryflath8124]

Luck is Only good in the EARLY game. Points should only be placed into luck if you absolutly have no other attributes that can be raised (excluding Personality cause its basically a QOL attribute to avoid the mini game) and cannot revert back to a save before the level to grind minor skills till a +5+5+5 bonus is available. 100 luck grants around +16 to all skills exept athletics and acrobatics are the only skills that benefit after 100 so in the LATE game when your skills are likely @ 100 (or should be) there isn't much benefit. I could add alot more reason why it's only good early on and not worth putting points into but I will stop here. (OK one more it can easily be buffed using spells by mid-late game)

[@banthabread]

I'm not hating but did you copy lazarbeams idea about the profile picture?

[@lordmortos979]

Heres how to master the game! Lowers difficulty, installs mod 🤣

[@tippiebekfast]

Procrastinating again are we? JK yay oblivion

[@FinallyAlone]

Step one don't have the PS3 version...

[@tadferd4340]

No, Oblivion's leveling system is objectively bad, and efficient leveling is huge evidence of that. It literally punishes you for playing organically. Your major skills are essentially traps. You do better making you major skills things you won't use, or just never leveling up. It's a horrendous system that turns people off the game as everything out scales the player who doesn't want to spreadsheet their skill ups.

[@doublesalopetoimcre]

been there done that. :c i don't like the game at all coz of it. story is good but the game is a joke leveling stuff.

[@RoseTheCat99]

So I basically wanna make my major skills just some bullshit
