 UPDATE! Episode 4 - Mr. Puffles & the Inconsequential Fort Seriously though, main quest is gonna happen as soon as my co-commentators stop trying to lead me Ash-tray (eyyyy) into poo poo I ain't needing in my life! We spend the majority of our time in this video in the mysterious and incredibly loving dark Fort Ash on my way to the next actual objective, while learning how things like my minimap and item durability work.

Ah, the joys and wonders of Oblivion exploring. And the rewards are quite unbelievable.

The extremely samey dungeon components, the pre-skyrim dungeon design that got people lost and turned around, the scaling.

How can you tell how samey the dungeons are when they’re so dark, though? :bethesda:

UPDATE Episode 5 - Mr. Puffles Can't Aim I swing my sword about 500 times in this video and the only time it actually hits anything, it's a guard.

That game freeze at the end is a side effect of Oblivion’s notorious level scaling system. Because almost everything in the game gets stronger with you, the entire game world has to be regenerated every time you level up. Also, you’ve discovered the reason why you should avoid the roads in this game, despite the guards’ insistence. All the bandit spawns are along roads, and unlike random woodland creatures, they know how to block.

I'm almost certain enemies spawn way more frequently on the roads than in the wild too. Walking along roads sure seem to lead to more encounters than just legging it across the countryside.

I'm loving everything about this LP so far. Also how the gently caress do people expect you to play accordion while your hands are on the keyboard

I forget if the guards scale or not though, so no idea if it helps to run over to them once the bandits start showing up in full glass.

I think the stop-right-there-criminal-scum guards do scale, but the ones scripted into helping you in quests do not. At least not all the time.

Durability is a fine mechanic when it leads to interesting gameplay choices, but so many games do it so badly it's generally just an annoyance or a punishment mid combat for not paying attention to an arbitrary number on a stat sheet.

So, durability in this game is actually super bugged. If your items aren’t at 100% durability, and you have enough items in one inventory, the game can forget how many items are in the inventory, and items will randomly disappear and reappear until you empty the inventory. This also happens if items have more than 100% durability, meaning getting to 75 points in Repair can be a detriment in some cases.

UPDATE Episode 9 - Mr. Puffles Experiences Karma Sometimes, I am bad at video games. Sometimes, I make catastrophic errors in judgement. Sometimes, I am not very good at saving my game correctly. Today, we witness all three of these things.

Ohmygodholyshitit'san UPDATE! Episode 10 - Mr. Puffles is Led Astray It was easy because we aren't actually done with the latest batch of recordings lol but still I've finally come back! There's a lot of oompah loompah songs in this one and I spend the entire thing having no idea where I'm going. Bethesda games at their finest!

One thing in Oblivion that is  BETTER THAN SKYRIM!  is when you walk up to npcs and they go "Hello." "Hi." "Greetings citizen." "Oh, it's you..." and other phrases and you have to initiate a conversation with them beyond that. In Skyrim you just need to walk within three meters of someone, or they walk near you, and they immediately repeat their one line of monologue out to the air. "Do you get to the cloud district very often?" "There's a nip in the air," over and over and interacting with them is pointless, it just triggers their dumb line yet again.

Nalesh posted:Also the magic system imo, especially once you start modding it. Having a separate button for casting spells is so much better too. No having to unequip and reequip your weapons over and over because you wanted to throw in a quick spell. It also makes it close to impossible to play with a one handed weapon and no shield.

I forget what that really good magic mod is called where you make spells by combining items in some kind of magic machine, but I greatly recommend it if ya ever wanna play a magic character.

UPDATE Episode 12 - Mr. Puffles in the City We did this recording session on April 21 and just now posting the last video out of it. Efficiency! Nalesh posted:Also the magic system imo, especially once you start modding it. Maybe I should have started a magic character instead of one-handed or whatever I'm doing here. But then I'm not using mods because I'm either a dipshit or a purist so who knows
