- The Elder Scrolls is a quality franchise. But just as the gods of the Elder Scrolls have no idea what they’re doing, gamers can’t make up their minds about which game is the best. Which is why I set out to answer a question completely unrelated to everything I’ve said so far. Can You Beat The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Without Taking Any Damage?

Can You Beat Oblivion Without Taking Any Damage?
When you can’t take damage, the name of the game is stealth, you want to stay as far away from whatever you’re attacking as possible, which is why I went with a Wood Elf for my character. They start off with higher Sneak and Marksman skills, perfect for the Stealth archer I’m bringing to the party. Did you really think I was gonna be anything other than that? The guy across the way taunted me a bit, and the time had come to set my health to 1 so that any damage of any kind kills me. Unfortunately, this cannot be done as easily in Oblivion as it is in Skyrim or Fallout. The player.forceav command is the only one that actually did anything, and even then it never set my max health to 1, it set my current health to 1 out of however many health points I had, so it was at 1 out of 81 in the beginning and I couldn’t figure out how to get that 81 to become 1. But it wasn’t the end of the world, checking every now and again to make sure my health is at 1 isn’t too annoying to do.
Patrick Stewart informed me that his time had come, the last remaining path out of the city just so happened to be through my cell, and our escape began. They went their own way and left me to fend for myself against the armies of ratatouille breaking down barriers for all rat-kind. I died more times that you’d think to these mice. Also it’s worth pointing out that I do have a few mods installed. None of them affected gameplay, they were mostly for the UI, but they were there nonetheless. After setting the difficulty down as low as it could go, I killed the rats, sent a message to an old friend, and got babies first bow from a dead skeleton on the ground.
Archery in Oblivion is a little different than it is in Skyrim, mostly because it feels more like a bow and arrow, the arrows dip towards the earth much sooner than they do in Skyrim, so you’ve got to put some effort into aiming instead of just putting the crosshair on the target and pressing a button. I found it to be much more satisfying to kill creatures with a Bow than it was in Skyrim. A bit deeper into the caves, I encountered a Goblin for the first time. A sneak attack can take them out in one shot, but they can still be a threat if you’re not careful.
Overall, getting through this introductory dungeon cave area wasn’t anything crazy difficult. It’s the tutorial section, it’s supposed to be easy. Before long, you’ll be faced with the biggest decision of your life. Bigger than having a child, bigger than naming your child, bigger even than deciding what kind of coffin you want for your child. Choosing your sign. I went with Thief for 10 point bonuses my to Agility, Speed, and Luck attributes. The Thief, from what little research I did, seemed to be one of the go-to choices for any kind of Archer build. Continue through the dungeon with your impromptu friends, aggravate yourself by trying to get your health back to 1, save the Emperor from attackers with a well placed flame hand ranged attack, obtain the Amulet of Kingly Swag from Patrick Stewart, and press deeper into the dungeon towards the light at the end of the tunnel. - Hry

I remember when I was a kid seeing Oblivion for the first time and it had amazing graphics and looked fun af, I didn't have an Xbox 360 at the time only a PS2 and couldn't wait to play it. then I met a friend in middle school who's stepdad was an avid gamer and he had a 360 in his living room, I stayed up all night with my friend playing this game. it's a memory I will never forget
I’d never played an elder scrolls game before nor a game as big as oblivion and I pretty much crapped my pants the first time I left the sewers. Ive spent the rest of my life since then chasing that high.

Probably not, as it's a buggy fucking DLC and it's more than possible that you won't actually be able to put armour on a horse, thus losing.

Something I've learned the hard way on my runs through Oblivion: this game really loves throwing leveled monsters at you, even during quests, so if you decide to fuck off and say, complete the Mage's Guild Quest and level up to something considerable before going to Kvatch, the Daedra that spawn there will be absolute satan spawn and kill literally everything in their path, including AI friendlies that are still low level. You have to babysit them if you want them to survive.
Even worse on escort quests, and yes Oblivion has them.
It's also a complete fucking headache getting through the level when Daedroths and Storm Atronachs spawn in the place of scamps. Bethesda implemented level scaling in the laziest way possible in this game with no consideration for the consequences. Basic bitch bandits in the late game are all wearing Daedric or Glass armor, all of them, and they look amazingly out of place. Low level animals like mudcrabs or wolves become extinct in the ogre and minotaur invasion. It gets really dumb.
By level 30 you could level up but would have no use other then to have even more death
That’s why I never finished Oblivion. The enemies are so fucking spongey by even level 15 it’s not even worth it.
For real! I did the Malacath quest at level 20 and every single mine guard was set up with daedric gear
Oblivion is the only game I know where you can completely ruin the game and make it unplayable by leveling too many times. Not level too fast, not level incorrectly (although both of them will make the problem worse), just leveling up, no matter how optimised your character is, will make the game unplayable at some point. That's so messed up it's almost impressive
Oblivion is the only game that actually rewards my tendency to constantly start over with new characters.
Forgot how good this game is. Rest in peace Paul, thanks for your years of dedication to doing crazy challenges and making us all laugh.
You accidentally did something intelligent by rushing through at a low level, since if you got to the level threshold where adult Clanfears instead of the Runts show up, you'd hit a pretty miserable wall since any damage done to them would cause some reflected damage to the player.
They scared the shit out of me the first time I tried to kill an adult one in man on dinosaur dog combat. It was my first playthrough on 360 so many years ago and so I had fucked my stats all up so my health was pretty low.
Archery damage does not reflect, so thats another accidental act of genius
Paul accidentally doing something intelligent seems to be a running theme of these videos
He travels all the way back to the imperial city after learning he needs glow dust.
Wisps spawn about 30 feet from the shrine
Those fuckers are a pain in the ass to fight so it's probably a good thing he went back
I just shot them with arrows for no reason
Also the 'corpse' of the wisp tends to roll down the hill so you have to find them.

I had to pause the video till I stopped laughing.
"im a simple man" as he proceeds to shoot a rock. At least you are also an honest man
The game's engine is weird when it calculates your starting health. If you want it to actually be 1 point, you'd have to type in "player.setav health -79" to set it to 1 since it's based at 80. Although, iirc setting it to 1 would strangely knock it down to 0 immediately and kill you. So it's probably better that it didn't work.
Believe it or not, I've made my Oblivion kind of like this. I got so tired of everything (including me) taking fifty hits to kill at high levels that I turned the difficulty down to the minimum to multiply my damage by 6, but then I scrapped together a mod to give myself only a few max hit points (although even a few points can last a while when enemies deal 1/6 damage...)
It's like playing Zelda at just 3 hearts.
I've been waiting for this one for awhile...

I appreciate him taking a second to point out how underwhelming Skyrim is in comparison to Oblivion.
In think in Skyrim the most you got was rocks falling form the sky, yeah real cool. In oblivion in rained FLAMING DOGS for a SIDE QUEST.
The games kinda just fall off in interesting events and scale more with "playability". Oblivion scrapped all the goofy magic of Morrowind for better gameplay overall and Skyrim went a step further by scrapping good story for slightly better gameplay after the fact. Morrowind was the king of encounters, the holy grail of awesome quests but it aged like shit. Oblivion is a good middle ground between Morrowinds god tier quests and Skyrims Dwemer Ruins that all lead to Blackreach.

No, no, CZcams, why, why did you recommend this, I'm having such a hard day, such a hard life. I can't, i can't handle this right now. Maybe not ever. RIP. God damn it.
Yeah so a few things:
Yeah the game's level scaling is rather brutal because it scales much closer to your level than Skyrim does. Doesn't mean you can't get powerful though, magic is the answer.
Please for the love of GOD, don't give up Azura's Star on any future playthroughs. The Mace of Molag Bal literally doesn't work, and outside of that, the relics in Oblivion are so much more powerful than in Skyrim.
Thieves Guild is very rewarding, it gets you a mask that lets you kill anyone without suffering any reputation penalties. This is important because Knights of the Nine stuff doesn't work unless your negative reputation is zero.
The Arena gives you a lot of stuff that doesn't scale with level, making it great early on, and useless later on.
Fingers of the Mountain is a wonderful spell, although it does the Skyrim thing where it scales to your level when you obtain it, and stays there.
Ghosts are not like normal enemies, they can only be killed with magic, enchanted weapons, Daedric weapons, and silver.
If you see a unicorn in the field, I recommend not killing it, it sometimes bugs Hircine's quest.
Wearing armor actually makes magic weaker. There's a hidden stat on armor that determines how much magic is affected.
You can use glitches involving magic and enchantments to permanently increase your stats so high that you can yeet anyone into the shadow realm with a single punch, because stat increases do not increase enemy stats, only levels do that.
Levelling and stats are so strangely scaled that to go into it would take hours, but check UESP for info on that, it really does matter.
The bounties are from killing allied NPCs, and the message when one was killed is a flag for Lucien Lachance to invade you while you sleep, to invite you to the Dark Brotherhood
Placeholder Placeholder thanks never even knew some of these game mechanics
Though the armor stat is hidden the out come is shown as a 'magic effectiveness percent'
Yeah the ultimate build in this game is a level 1-5 Breton wizard with 100 in all magic skills wearing regular clothes enchanted to give 100% reflect damage and 100% resist magic and casting custom spells which, on top of their intended effect, fortify your magicka enough to chain cast infinitely.
This post is more thought out than my resumé
@@EasyEnough102 haha
“I never feel powerful because the enemies never stop leveling with me.”
A common complaint about this game. Did he even ever get a different bow besides the starter one?
The leveled lists are kind of dumb in the game.
When every single bandit wears full glass armor and all the marauders are clad in full daedric sets - god knows how they got that - the game still throws steel and dwarven bows at you.
Even then, all enemies way over lvl20 still carry iron arrows for some reason.
The only reliable way to get a very likely upgrade is to find Hatred's Soul in an oblivion gate.
Other than that chances are almost impossible to find anything better than a steel bow before you finish the game without sidequests.
That's why I just never level up in this game, until it's time to do a Daedric Prince quest
You should try to play with a unleveled mod, it's like a different game. It's a good experience if you know these games well and want a real challenge.
Yup, pretty common complaint. You really don't get "poweful" until you either decide to lower the difficult to where everything is cake, or get to a high enough level where the enemies you commonly see start hitting level caps. The latter takes fucking forever.
As much as it divides us, and that all our bitching has lead to Bethesda focusing on money, the variation between what we like in the games is good. If the whole “the game you are playing is an elder scroll” meta-narrative is taken to heart then it is something to be embraced.
By definition of what an elder scroll is it is most likely that each game is an entirely separate version of Nern. We should be glad that we hate and love each game in different ways. Just the same as the various people’s of the world find new ways to love and hate each other throughout the different eras.
Such a well spoken man. Wish he was still around, we all do. I feel like I’ll never stop watching these videos over and over. Thanks Paul!
Anyone else become the Gray Fox, Arch-Mage, The Listener, Arena Grand Champion, Guildmaster of the Fighters guild, and the Madgod Sheogorath before remembering Jauffre is still waiting at the priory for the amulet...?
*oopsie*
I was listening to the song "it just works" and it got to the skyrim part when this video was release.
Nicee
@B00B13_B1RD its skyrim but just not as good
@@dragonsbreath389 If you mean better, then yes you are correct.
@B00B13_B1RD I know but I found that funny
@Gopher Better with mods maybe. Vanilla Oblivion is garbage, other than the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves guild quests. Ok, quests in general are better, but the gameplay is trash

This was amazing, here is hoping to see more Oblivion content as it is easily one of my favorite elder scrolls games.
Finally a Oblivion challenge, I love this game, Cant wait to watch all of this!
waiting for “can you beat daggerfall without taking damage”.
Considering how bugged that game is the challenge might as well just be "Can you beat Daggerfall"
@@CErra310 "Can you beat"
@Guts no; it's no nut november
That game is insanley long and extremely hard.
More like "Can you play Daggerfall?"
I don't think the arrow "dips to the earth" sooner. However, one thing I know for fact is that skyrim actually shoots the arrow slightly upward, rather than straight at the crosshair.
For skyrim there's a setting you can write into a .ini file, in order to get aiming to feel just as it does in oblivion. (Look up "ArrowTiltUpAngle")
No wonder it feels weird whenever I use bows.
Though it kinda does have autocorrection, which I believe can be turned off. Otherwise whenever in Skyrim you get the cinematic shot animation, the arrow will miss at greater distance. Always tried to turn it off whenever playing Skyrim, since it made very long shots impossible.
I love the AH references you throw in occasionally! A lot of my younger days were spent watching Jack and Geoff doing HORSE or fails of the weak which was my source of laughter back then, now I get the same reaction years later from your videos, those gut punching laughs, love it. Keep it up!
Forgot how awesome that ending cinematic was for Oblivion.
“I died to the mudcrabs and associated sewer creatures more times than what I should have”
Last night I looked up “mitten squad oblivion” and was upset to see it was only a top 10 video. Woke up and saw this. Fire
Anyone else laughed when they also realized that he shot a rock instead of a wolf😂
This was awesome to watch. I loved your one liners and dry jokes. I think I'm gonna go through your other videos and watch your Skyrim challenges.
The crime you committed was killing that guard in the bruma gate.
Any guards you damage or kill in both the kvatch assault or the bruma gate are still counted as crimes once the quest is complete.
I wasn't expecting a reference to Geoff's Mercantile and Supply. Good show, good sir.
"This game was released in like 1991. I was expecting too much of it"
My mum said the same about me
Yea, that "This Game was Released in like 1991" Made me Laugh, Especially since we all Know it was released in 2006. if this WAS From 1991. it probably wouldn't even BE 3D, ARENA was from 1994 and....we all know how that one looks and plays. lol
This game just gives me so much nostalgia. Its so beautiful.
