Maybe I should have started a magic character instead of one-handed or whatever I'm doing here.

Because of the way enemy scaling works in this game, a lot of people recommend leveling up skills that aren't part of your character class since the game can become much harder the more you level up.

I hate that mission precisely because of how slow it is to get in and annoying it is to get out afterwards. Considering how rare the books are, how difficult it is to get them all and then you have to figure out the instructions and yet they have so many members of their cult that they can afford to just throw them away like fodder.

Eh, an enemy you stab now is an enemy you don't need to stab later.

If you rescue the half naked argonian instead of sacrificing him and escort him running through the twisty caves he'll give you a reward. It's probably not worth the pain.

Today (9/29) is my birthday and if you remember that horrendous drunken Skyrim stream from a few years ago, something similar to that (but a bit less drunk) will be happening on my Twitch channel all day from noon to 8 pm MT. There'll be a few things going on, and some blind Oblivion will be among them!

Even before I started this one I was actually planning on doing Morrowind after as well, but I didn't realize that this would just be people telling me no actually Oblivion is bad play MW instead :P

gently caress, I forgot how ugly Oblivion looked when you don't install over 1000 mods for the game.

Fun fact: The name OBLIVION was decided before the game Oblivion was being made...and before MORROWIND was even a thing. In the spin-off game Redguard, you see a shelf of books during the intro that includes books with names of past and future elder scrolls games, one of them was Morrowind (The next game after Redguard) with Arena and Dagger as the two before and then Oblivion as the one after, there is another one that said "Romanelli" for TES 5...but clearly they decided to go with Skyrim by that time instead of the generic dummy name that doesn't even exist in Elder Scroll's Lores.

Basically, Oblivion was forced into the game without any regard for anything else at all!

It's possibly the worst and most boring dungeon in the game in my opinion. But you should be very thankful you did it at such a low level and didn't have to deal with the 100 ghosts being 100 wraith lords.

Chitlin brought up me playing more of the "better" parts of the game in my Discord and I'll basically say here what I said there. The main quest is probably the worst part of Skyrim, but when I play that I still have some baseline enjoyment for the game. In this I have really not enjoyed much of it at all and the few times I did much of anything different (the one daedric shrine, when I wandered into some random caves/temples where I found literally nothing) it was the same, so I don't see my experience getting much better by going much farther.

I'll probably be doing some Oblivion on my Twitch channel after the LP ends to maybe look at the Shivering Isles DLC or some Daedric shrines or the other parts that people have told me are better than the main quest (BETTER THAN THE MAIN QUEST!!!) but the LP officially is just gonna end there lol

Just imagine if you touched Knights of the Nine. That's everything wrong with Oblivion's main story in one DLC.

It is kind of amazing that only like, two Elder Scrolls games have had a good main plotline. And Daggerfall's was only really good because it had so many different endings at a time when that really wasn't the norm.
