Not so surprising, the difficulty scaling is completely ridiculous in this game (which is otherwise great). This can make some battles a serious PiTA especially if you go for the XP exploit. For example, once you reach a certain level, run of the mill bandit archers will suddenly acquire the ability to shoot arrows with splash damage (scattershot), and missions where you're up against a lot of them will become a living nightmare.

[@jmjedi923]

Might and Magic 3, titan quest, and Age of Empires barely did anything other than make me laugh and enjoy the video but AN OBLIVION CLONE??? Something extra had to be put in that tea of yours.

[@neoqwerty]

What's killing me is that it's closer to Morrowind than Oblivion mechanically. Can you even WHIFF in Oblivion without like, PHYSICALLY failing at combat?

[@ss5gogetunks]

Yeah, this is the weirdest take I've seen Spiff make, it's barely even the same genre of game. DA:O is a lot closer to games like neverwinter nights, baldurs gate, etc. Its far closer to an isometric tactical RPG. The combat is far more interesting than oblivion and Skyrim which, while they're good games, Imo have really basic and uninspired combat.

[@figboi]

@@ss5gogetunks As a fan of Oblivion, Skyrim and DAO at the same time, I would have to admit that Dragon Age Origins do have a better combat than Oblivion. But I will deny that DAO has a complete overall better combat than Skyrim. First of all, the AI in DAO completely sucks. My mage warden had to cast spells on his own while Alistair and Sten pretends like the enemy doesn't exist, and stay completely still while my spells are interrupted by a bunch of walking corpses. You'd have to micromanage each of each of them and have to absolutely pause on many occasions, which makes sense considering the combat genre of the game itself. But the AI standing completely still while my spells are interrupted is just frustrating. If you're a fan of isometric tactic, pause and micromanage combat, then DAO would be a heaven for you. But most people, and as much as I like RTS game, a lot of us would prefer adrenaline paced action oriented combat like Skyrim. When it comes to the complexity of the combat itself, I think DAO would overall win over Skyrim. I can't say much about Oblivion, but I'd say DAO is much better than it. DAO makes you think on every combat encounter, Skyrim is just sword slash and stealth archer goes brr with a few tiny bits of thinking on a few occasions. But a lot of people do love sword slash goes brr.

[@BradTheAmerican]

@@figboi The AI won't do stuff if you don't set up your tactic slots. You really don't have to micromanage much and pausing is minimal unless you just don't know how things work like if you're new to it. For the most part, basic attacks are perfectly capable of clearing most areas. The only thing I find better to micromanage is the occasional powerful spell or talent for tough enemies, or an AOE for groups. Otherwise micromanaging the simple stuff is just an inefficient use of your time. For spells getting interrupted, that happens if you are attacked enough while trying to cast, and there are skills to prevent interruptions. And if you aggro a tank properly while the DPS kills everything, then a mage getting interrupted is basically moot anyway.

[@figboi]

@@BradTheAmerican that's the thing honestly. I find that Tactic Slot are just too conditional to use and I'm too lazy to set it up to suit my needs. I know that there are templates provided for immediate use but I don't think it is more than enough and I find myself micromanaging in a time where I could just enjoy the battle. Still a great game though.

[@thejohnhopkinscompany9599]

I find the best example for comparing the quality of Skyrim to Dragon age is the romance. *Dragon age with Morrigan:* A very slowly developing relationship where she moves from a cruel cold person who does not even think of you as a possibility, to a one sided toxic relationship where she considers you as temporary physical pleasure, to her awkward and confused realisation she really cares about you, to admitting her love after saying the whole game that love is a weakness, showing that she has finally come to understand what love is really about, and that she would do anything for the warden, as he would do for her. *Skyrim with Uthgerd the Unbroken:* You have a fistfight then get married. Skyrim is fun to fuck around in for a while doing random grinding and side quests, but I find that enjoyment comes from the connection one can make to a game. Which is hard when all the characters in Skyrim have completely one dimensional personalities, with the exception of Ulfric and Serrana who are decent characters.

...archers could also be sat on one of or the flanks protected by infantry and Cavalry. Arrows are most effective shot at very close range straight at a target. If an enemy is heavily armoured you've only got a chance of causing damage at close range (although longer range fire can disrupt or occupy.) close ranged fire also incapacitates enemies much better reducing their combat effectiveness. They always have to worry about the possibility of arrows penetrating as well as feeling the smack of close ranged arrows collecting them while they're trying to focus on an opposing formation of infantry.

[@roberthill5805]

@@7dayspking could yes but you have to realize that humans aren't that fast to get to an archer before they start firing and when they release a few volleys. Archers tend tend to be somewhere where you want to keep on a battlefield, the crest of a hill, high ground, and so on. You normally want to keep that and have archers stay there. My actual issue with where they were is that there were walls just near them they could have been and that would have been best. My original note was at the comment against them being on the front, if it was that they were in the front instead of the walls then I wouldn't disagree.

[@7dayspking]

@@roberthill5805 I don't quite understand, are you criticizing placing archers on the flanks? Famously that's what they did at Agincourt for example. If archers are left in front of infantry and are then 'moved' when enemy formations close the distance to protect them...you're not getting any close ranged fire which is where archers are very effective. If they're up on walls behind formations of infantry, they might be again quite far away from the enemy and at the risk of hitting your own infantry. Same with sitting them in isolation on the 'crest of a hill'.

IT IS A DUEL AT DAWN. WITH PISTOLS AND RAPIERS

[@alejandroyava]

1) The game crashes because is not LAA (Large Address Aware). that means that only will use 2 GB of RAM even if you have 16. Common mistake nowadays because this game is from 2009. Nothing that a LAA patch can't resolve. 2) Although I admit that the Money glitch is broken, and gives you access to some of the best items in the game early, at least you need to LEVEL UP to use them. Do you need to level up to use good items in Skyrim or Oblivion?? 3) You played an unpatched game. The latest patch fixes that unlimited experience quest. 4) Even if you have the best weapons in the game, some parts of the game in Nightmare Difficulty makes you think how to position your party, even combine attacks and create distractions to win, give it that some bosses can destroy your entire party on their own. 5) HAHA! The Veshialle? The most powerful weapon in the game? Is expensive and powerful, but not the best. 6) I know this is a game exploiting the glitches, but at least this game has a very good story, your decisions affect the enviroment, I mean... Do you get an army of werewolfes by anihilating a elven tribe in Oblivion?

[@jandurek]

“It’s not even czech republic anymore” It is though. Czechia is just the new-ish official short-form name which we didn’t have before. It’s the just like Slovakia being the Slovak Republic, Russia being the Russian Federation and Germany being the Federal Republic of Germany

I found a similar exploit in DAO but in DLC Awakening. What you need to do is be specialized as a Healer and go to the merchants and buy ingredients for potions. You make the potions and you sell them back with 10-20% profit or something and you do this until they run out of ingredients. Not as sophisticated as The Spiffing Brit does it here, but as we plebs are not accustomed to advanced ways of finance which the Brits have been exploiting for the past 200 years or so it does the job quite well.
