I Killed Every NPC in Oblivion

Oblivion has been a long requested game to join the "I Killed Every NPC" series, and boy am I glad that I finally gave it a shot. Oblivion was a fantastic adventure. I see why this game is still talked about and loved by fans, even nearly 20 years after its release!

lets not forget that before oblivion came out, during development the AI had to be dumbed down becuase they were to smart, the drug adicts would kill shop keeps if they didnt have enough gold on them to buy drugs (this was not scripted and a unforeseeable consequence) and would generally kill a shop keep before you get to them, resulting in a dead merchant on your first arival

[@Xappan]

They would also steal, get killed by guards, search out the nearest solution to their problems (like getting food), travel between cities. I'm so sad games aren't made with oblivion ai levels of ai freedom. Sure it could be a clustettruck, but so fun!

Want you to murder Morrowind next. No essential NPCS (the expansion Tribunal tries to prevent you from killing NPCs by making them super overpowered but that just turns them into optional superbosses instead), a main quest that can be accomplished even if you murder plot-essential characters, every fucking bandit has a unique name so you have to track down and kill them too. And the best part is that there's a "taunt" feature that allows you to kill almost every character in the game legally.

I agree that oblivion does have some repetitive quests, but not on the same scale as skyrim ("oh, the 5000th quest where you need to kill draugrs and retrieve an item!"). I think that all in all, oblivions quests, especially the side quests, are way more diverse and entertaining

[@pandakatiefominz]

I think he underrated the Thieves Guild questline tbh! I thought that final heist was so cool

[@KyrieFortune]

​​@@pandakatiefominzthe thieves' guild quests in oblivion are so vastly better than in skyrim - like, the last quest in skyrim is "go to a place and kill a guy, we're gonna be rich again, woohoo" and you may have just stolen a couple of papers, while in oblivion is "steal one the most coveted and esoteric item in the entire lore in a multi-step solo heist, so that a man can gain back his life" not only oblivion thieved better, it also thieved in much greater style

By the way, the Adoring Fan respawns at the Imperial City Arena every 3 days. As far as I'm aware, the only way to permanently kill him is to get him stuck in Paradise or an Oblivion gate. Since you didn't do that, you'll be stuck with him forever...and ever...and ever(until that adorable beautiful man maybe becomes Cicero in Skyrim).

Whenever I started up a new save of Oblivion I'd b-line it to Burma and take the gear off the soldiers fighting each other and proceed to cause mischief. Really curious to see what you do to The Adoring Fan. Edit: And the second after I post that The Adoring Fan comes in with Dumpys call to action. I didn't think he could be more disturbing but the ai editing is creepy as hell.

[@mihawk508]

Fun fact: the Motierre you meet during the dark brotherhood storyline in Skyrim is related to the one you meet during oblivion’s DB storyline and one of their family members ancestors IS a DB assassin in elder scrolls online set over 2000 years before Skyrim so their family is pretty connected to the brotherhood

[@Bec-Son]

I think what I enjoy most about Oblivion is the story lines of the side quests and dlcs. in shivering isles its never stated that jyggalag is actually a bad guy but instead a force that has to do it because it is his nature, when you talk to sheogorath hes not his usual insanity when talking about the greymarch, hes talking about pure absolute suffering which no one truly takes pleasure from which neither self are truly wanting it, but instead a cruel curse set upon the other daedric gods. So when you finally beat jyggalag the real sheogorath you're freeing a false self and the true self from this endless cycle, and give the false self a true form, yourself. Jyggalag says hes finally free to go about by himself with not turning back into a inverse of himself so he disappears from giant head projection and is presumably wandering Oblivion in all its form. really hoping with ES6 we get possibly a jyggalag focused quest, where he tasks you with creating a new plane of order possibly establishing it as a way to maintain the balance needed for the realms so that there is not another merunes dagon event. but instead of him turning into a deranged tyrant he uses his experience as sheogorath to level himself into becoming one of the better daedric princes, possibly setting up an empire to rival the high elves and imperials.

[@KyrieFortune]

Given that the Elder Scrolls lore hints that reality is (among other things) kept in place by seven pillars and most of them have been destroyed, and the Thalmor want to essentially force the world to the primordial state it was before reality forces the Mer/Elves into a very long but still mundane mortality, and a way they are accomplishing this is the destruction of said pillars A Jyggalag quest where you try and keep reality stable as it's nearing its unraveling while the last pillar is dissolving would be, forgive the joke, INSANE, if well executed

[@thatmimetuber585]

fun fact the reason the argonians were not as affected in oblivion was because they decided to charge straight into the gates the moment they appeared causing the dadera to destroy the gates and try to retreat while STILL being blitz

[@purplefrank9717]

Also the hist trees turning them into lizard monsters and supersoldiers + its hivemind effect. Fun fact, the hist trees are deadric monsters that accidentally fell into tamriel because of greek pantheon level shenanigans between the daedra.

One of my favorite moments to see from people who played Skyrim first is when they escort Martin to Cloud Ruler Temple, and they hail him as Dragonborn. Most people go, "Martin is a Dragonborn?" This is since Tiber Septim, founder of the Third Empire, was a Dragonborn, and all his descendents carry some of his Dragonborn blood.

@@silvercandra4275 The answer is super old and wondering where the last 15-20 years went 😅I played Oblivion when it came out. And I also played Morrowind when it came out in 2002. I remember bringing my PC to my friends house and we and another friend played Morrowind next to eachother. Needed at least 3 trips to the car each time - one for carrying the PC, one for the CRT monitor (25 kg/55 pounds), one for mouse/keyboard/speakers/network cables and probably another one for snacks, toothbrush etc. We also played some local multiplayer games. Getting local multiplayer set up usually took at least an hour, and a handful of luck. Getting the PCs to find eachother was quite a hassle, even when they were directly plugged into eachother (wireless didnt exist) there was always a ton of IP-settings you had to tweak.

I really hope you actually do a real playthrough of this game soon. All of the best quests in the DLC are side quests and all of them are incredibly fun. There are plenty of Main game quests that are fun like one where you literally get sent out to the middle of the ocean while you sleep and one where you have to solve a murder mystery. It may not be your style; but a playthrough of this game on your channel would be fun and I would watch it. I hope you come back to Oblivion, my second favorite Bethesda game, sometime soon.

You were soo close, but there's at least 2 NPC's that I know of that you soft locked out of the game during prep. In the DB, there's a quest that when started spawns an argonian in the marshes outside of Lewiin, but you kill the male argonian in the DB before you got that quest to spawn the other argonian in the woods. And in the arena, if you talk to the gray prince before challenging him, you'll be directed to a vampires lair. I did leave details out cause they're both easy to miss but both are highly rewarding. And nonetheless, a valiant effort! ***Edit*** Scratch that. There's at least four you missed, as there are also a few quest in Bruma that won't spawn until after the quest had been started. There's one that spawns a unique bruma guard. One that spawns a dunmer and another unique bruma guard along with a Brenton woman. There's also a quest also in bruma where you encounter multiple ghosts of ackivire soldiers (ik I butchered the spelling, idc) but they're hostile and im not sure if you'd count those.
