In Cyrodiil I would try to join the local clergy by any means. Being respected and privileged comparable to aristocracy, you don't do any menial physical labour, have access to lots of books. Also you are protected by the city guards and always have food and clothes for free. Perfect choice for modern city person without survival skills.
Oh yea, wouldn't we achieve CHIM by default and either disappear or become a god? For me, I would become a god because my existence didn't originate there, so of course I would reject the idea that I am not real and part of the dream. My ego is not from the dream and therefore if I am in Tamriel, I must be dreaming. I literally need to be the person who is asleep in my bed having the dream. Therefore I am the Dreamer, therefore I cannot zero-sum. I would CHIM. Because I literally MUST be the Dreamer. There is no other explanation.
My friendly advice to anyone moving to Cyrodiil is that if you've got to travel, by the Nine Divines, stay on the roads! The wilderness just isn't safe anymore.
I imagine there's probably some assumptions you can make about Cyrodiil to separate the canon reality from the games. Food is probably cooked, theres probably a form of sanitation, even if its more like the roman Cloaca Maxima, there's probably state/mercenary funded transport to other cities for a fee, like caravan, carriage, or something, etc. Cyrodiil is also probably the size of a medium sized country. I'd say Germany is a good comparison. I think if i could communicate or find a translator (presumably a Breton) i would probably do decent as either a sailor or shopkeep. In real life i know basics of knot tying and canoeing is a hobby of mine so it'd be a small amount of experience with a steep learning curve... but it'd presumably be one of the safest places during the Oblivion Crisis. The biggest thing is where i end up. My goal would probably be to settle down near Lake Rumare or the Gold Coast (preferably Anvil or the Capital, but any of the surrounding towns could also work. I really dislike Leyawiin and Bravil is probably the least safe city in Cyrodiil so I'd probably want to stick away from the Niben bay, but thats a backup option
@UndisputedBillyBadass Yes exactly, even though they don't appear in Oblivion we can assume there's some sort of public transportation in Cyrodiil during the end of the 3rd Era. Wagons, caravans guarded by Mercenaries for hire, etc.
One thing to consider in all these Scenarios, historical or fictional: Most people today are able to read and write, so as long as one could adapt to the given language, being able to write and copy books and other scripts would make you a mint, as these skills were very rare back then. It would also open up alot of paths of study, whether as an iniatiate in the Order of the Divines, or as a scholar at one of the Academies and Mage's Guilds.
The elder scrolls is not our world though, and nothing in the games states that the ability to read is rare. In fact in thousands of hour playing Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and ESO, I don't remember any npc saying "I can't read/write". Diaries and signs are common as well. It's true we don't see much schools beside the ones for the mages, but we don't see children outside Skyrim so...
Well I have grown up on a farm, generally cook my own meals and have practiced some swordplay. I'd say that's an okay baseline for a farmhand or for working at an Inn. However I think what Cyrodil really seems to need is someone who can do some health and safety inspections for those food storage solutions 💀💀💀
I'm a farmer and forrester by trade with hunting and fishing as a hobby so i think i would survie initially. If i could figure out communication with the natives maybe even thrive 😊 thank you for a great video
1) I'm Italian = I could manage the language. Not easy but possible after some time. 2) Trades: If you manage the language barrier and can gain people trust, most people would find employment in big cities as many peasant jobs are fairly simple. I personally can cook (I worked in kitchens for years), I can clean and do gardening (same), I can sew, I have a lot of general technical knowledge (I'm an engineer). I also practice HEMA so I have combat training and can decide to join the army or some fighting faction (It may not be the best idea... I can be a trainer though). 3) Food poisoning and alcohol would be a real concern. 4) It's baffling that a Roman inspired society doesn't have common bath houses. Even though they're not in the game I assume they would have them. 5) Over 24 hours of trying to survive, you'll probably have no time to be bored. PS The lack of chicken is actually accurate in a medieval setting (don't know if it's a coincidence or if the developer knew) but chicken wasn't commonly consumed at the time.
In real life, I’ve dabbled in blacksmithing, and I’m fond of sewing and knitting as well as cooking and baking, and I’ve brewed my own mead. I think this means I could be okay as an apprentice blacksmith, brewer, tailor or maybe even baker or chef.
I find your logic commendable, but I'd like to try and break it! Survive 24 hours sounds easy enough. Go to the nearest town, clean the streets up (loot junk from barrels and boxes), sell to a general goods shop, go to the inn, eat vegetables, sleep, and win. If it's a month, hear me out: magic doesn't exist irl, but it does in the game. Vampirism, while terrible in game I agree, always gives the user 4 spells: night vision, invisibility, charm, and fear. Get Vampirism, become level 1 vampire, acquire magic, and BREAK THE WORLD OPEN! Once you learn how to go invisible, you can feed on hotel/inn guests almost risk-free. You can befriend people by charming them, reducing the risk being in cities and towns. The bonus to strength will let you become a formidable opponent at night, letting you kill and loot bandits and highwaymen. Using the money from those sales and feeding recently, one could go to a mage college and further research more magic, even procure the cure to vampirism. And once grasping the knowledge of magic, it's possible that once cured, you could still do magic once cured. (I'm thinking magic is a "flip a switch, you can now do it congrats" thing, since star signs work the same way. You are and atranoch, flip, absorb magic. You are a serpent, flip, you can paralyze on touch) Or just get 3 quills, place them in the air, sit on them, and wow, passer bys. Much less interesting but hey a septim is a septim
Going into this with a certain page of the uesp memorized: "It's a secret syllable that will help us later" But assuming I can't use metagame lore knowledge to achieve CHIM, I have a very rudimentary understanding of Latin, not enough to get by in a conversation, but my oddity might be enough to entertain a Mages' Guild member long enough for me to learn it, and then my hope would be to join the Mages' Guild or some temple.
Best case scenario you end up as a topic of study for the Mages Guild. You are after all from a completely different plane of the Aurbis beyond both Oblivion and Ætherius
Being Scandinavian i think i might be able to learn nordic language. So i would head north, towrds Bruma. From there i would try to cross the border in to Skyrim. I think i would be saafe there.
Even tho it similar to how Latin works it not latin, tho maybe Nords would still be Speaking Nordic since People in Skyrim may not be speaking Tamrielic but rather the Old land tongue. me i know Enough Dunmeri to ask for directions.
Just because I'm not the hero of kvatch doesn't mean I can't use my knowledge of the empire and locations/ways to earn coin etc. Step 1: find the nearest mages guild and attempt to say "I don't speak the language" in as many languages as I can until one of the mages understands me or guesses what I mean and finds a spell to help Step 2: hope that I can beat the hero of kvatch to the anvil house, if not slowly gather resources until I can afford a house by completing fetch quests or farming ingredients for potions to sell etc. Step 3: use my home as a base while I train myself in combat, and magic assuming could learn it once I was in cyrodil, and earning/stealing/finding better gear Step 4: play oblivion but ignore the main quest for a couple decades Step 5: go see my boy count hassildor and talk him into making me immortal Step 6: move over alduin, ES5 is now about a thousand year old vampire necromancer using his undead army to conquer the empire, the thalmor, the tribunal, and everything in between
This reminds me a bit of 'Living in Oblivion', where the unassuming character of Nondrick aims to just earn a living and be a perfectly ordinary guy in Cyrodiil with no adventurous distractions. He had mixed results.
Id be a farm hand. Working for shelter and food. Never adventuring beyond the city after night. Ever. Maybe find myself a good solid diety to worship. One that is popularly shared by the majority. Id attend service and build a social network. As soon as possible id try to get out of manual labor and work a job that gives me more free time for personal development. Or attempt an apprenticeship. You wont find me in any Aylied ruins.
same will start of with farm works since i can grow stuff, and know some Dunmeri so living in Chaydinhal would be Fine. do the same then maybe get work as a scribe.
I’m an ancient cultures student with a good knowledge of elder scrolls lore, 3 years of university level Latin under my belt, decent competency at historical swordsmanship, own a few starting pieces of armour and an amateur at illuminated calligraphy. I think I could thrive there
Same tho being Scottish Bruma is better suited for my cold Climate Nature. Not sure i would survive a day in the warm grasslands of Anvil, chaydinhal maybe.
1. Language: as long as I learn a few mudcrab related phrases in Cyrodiilic, I'd be fine. 2. Work: spear maker, it's easy enough to make a spear and attach a dagger to the end. It would blow the minds of everyone. Alternatively, I could be a bard! I'm terrible at singing, but by your own admission, the standards are REALLY low in Tamriel. 3. Food: sweet rolls. There, all set.
Given that I'm a lore nerd, I think, once I learn Tamrielic, I could potentially be useful as some sort of historian or librarian. Of course, people would need to take me seriously, and I'm not sure how I'd ensure that.
I'm from Italy, will my Latin genes bless me with the gift of communication? Hope so, I would love to work as a translator specialised in Elder Scrolls (and some fine Argonian fanfictions, wink wink). Loved the idea! Your content is always so original! P.S I would DIE for a Skyrim-the-horse appereance 😍
Joining some kind of religious order seems like a good plan, except that sometimes the gods are a lot more involved than in our world, and monasteries seem to be a popular destination for Bandits and worse things.
As a geologist, at first I thought I'd do survey work for companies to help establish mines/ wells. It's the closest job to an actual adventurer, after all. Live out the fantasy. However, considering how dangerous Cyrodiil is, I'd be dead in a week So at most, I would stick to the cities and help with hazard assessment for buildings, bridges, etc. Or as a consultant for similar projects. The Imperial City and Kvatch are going to need some rebuilding after the Crisis, too. So demand will be there
As an ex soldier I am quite comfortable with fighting and the more nastier aspects of it. I have indeed studied Latin though I am only passable at speaking it. I am okay with sword. But I have absolute confidence in my ability with a Bow. I also own three suits of plate armour and various combinations of mail and the like. So I know how to move in the stuff. I have an extremely strong stomach so food poisoning isn't too much a concern for me. I have hunted my whole life so taking on wildlife doesn't phase me. The Daedric dudes kinda do. As I don't have the slightest clue how tough they actually are. The no showers thing kinda sucks though. I like lava hot showers at the end of the day. And ice cold ones in the morning. An 8/10 is what I would rate my chances. Assuming I get employment with the Guards or Legion.
I would not survive in a fight book worm, but at least Know some Dunmeri not just the curse words, as for Deadra their Armoured warrior if dealing with Humanoid the beast kind like fighting bears or Bigs, Plus they do not Die any time you kill one their soul gets send to Obilvion and they just walk out of Lava Pissed they got Killed. if you not seen the Elder scroll online trailer watch it must see, the Deadra warriors when they see the massive archway/bridge about to land on them just raise their sword to their face in a cool pose since they know it not the end. I would probably go to bruma work as a scribe then make my way to Skyrim.
@@CommanderM117 Technically speaking the Hero of Kvatch isn't anything too special. And even if they are so what ? They're the ones doing all the fighting fantastical demon things. And while Daedric beings can't die it's possible to keep them from entering enmass into the mortal world so it's not all that bad. Besides in this scenario I am not the protagonist. I am at worse some Random Guard or a soldier of the Legion. I have no qualms about killing bandits , bears , goblins , etc. Silver weapons are standard issue among the Legion and Guards so even Ghosts aren't a problem. So all I gotta do is keep my head down and follow orders. I did that for years. Ain't no reason I can't do it again.
@@clothar23 true tho with Obilvion crisis the Deadra get in easier so more deadra then Normal, the safe guard they had is basicly gone, and if i recall 3 settlement are hit by deadra hard Kavatch Imperial city and a place south of Bravil not marked on the map. you be fine with your training and maybe manage to kill a deadra warrior.
@@isthisoneunavailable I dont drink but im very good at not taking stuff seriously! But for realsies, its just a matter of how much time i have in my hands

Why did I just discover your channel? Your content is litteraly the type of stuff I always seeked to find and watch😭,and now your content found me! Most youtubers are men and usually do informative stuff about oblivion (which is also great) + majority of the content is the same. You create really creative and cool content. Perfect for people who love this game. Speaking from the perspective of a now 17 year old girl, who started playing oblivion at the age of 4/5 due to her grandpa, who loved video games and computers back in the days, and introduced this game to her. Till this day this game influences me, I‘ve been playing it each year for 2 weeks. I really enjoy listening to the oblivion backround music. I just love the vibe cause it‘s SO nostalgic and it kinda distracts me from the daily stuff.
This video is awesome haha As somebody that hasn't played Oblivion, it's a way to kind of worm my way into the world a little and see if I enjoy it before playing.
As someone proficient in martial arts, archery and my smaller stature abling me to be rather sneaky if needed added with many hours of packpacking/camping experience id be confident i would do just fine. I love this concept of content. Keep up the good work! 😁
With knowledge of the lore like I've got, I'd be a historian! Id probably give adventurers quests to go fetch things in dangerous ruins to further my studies
@CommanderM117 I know some dovahzul, I can figure out the local languages starting from Skyrim 👌 If the ancient Nords spoke the dragon tongue, then it's not a leap to assume that Atmoran is derived from it to some extent, just like Spanish is a Latin-root language.
The funny thing about the whole “you wouldn’t survive 24 hours in the Middle Ages” thing is that they usually forget that hospitality was considered a near mandatory provision throughout much of that time. A traveler could almost always find a place to sleep and a bite to eat for at least one night. You might have to do some work or something depending on the season and time of day you arrive, but this was a common custom. You could survive 24 hours. Now a few days might be another story. That would really stink if you were around for harvesting season. That was hard work.
I'll sit behind university walls until I die of old age) And maybe I'll try to learn portals and I will travel from Mages Guilds buildings and deliver things)
Angelikatosh: "So how do you get there?" *bonks us on the head, screen goes black* *eyes open, we're in a carriage being pulled through the woods* Ralof: "Hey, you. You're finally awake.."
I think theres def a chance. One thing abt Elder Scrolls that I like is that the setting tends to be hospitable in a lot of ways, I can def see myself starting at the bottom with sucky jobs but then saving my pennies to get training from the Fighter's Guild or learn a bit of magic. If you read between the lines theres always gonna be a demand for grunt work, Im sure people need wood chopped and that kinda deal, working in a vineyard for a while wouldnt be a bad deal. Im sure this is a common thing in Cyrodiil, theres no shortage of adventurers either and they have to come from somewhere. Maybe that could be an ultimate goal for me to aim for, get good enough after several years to strike out and raid an old tomb with some buddies, make a big score. Ofc getting out alive would be tough 😅
i would loot all of the stuff from the barrels and boxes in the city. Taking that stuff is not considered stealing so it's free game. I would then follow a guard to the next town and repeat until i have enough to survive. Now that i think about it tho, i'm not entirely sure how much free stuff you can get from containers, will have to take a look and see how much gold i could get in that scenario lmao.
that if their Using Game Logic if not keep and eye out before you loot Barrels if a guard sees you doing it a bunch they might arrest you for it. since it either Property of the Count/Countess or still Property.
As a working-class boyo who regularly works out and has at least some martial arts training and has changed a lot of different working-class jobs from iron melting, farms, stores,bakery, woodworking, construction, road making, vineyards to bartending I actually qualify for a lot of listed jobs lol Im good :D
@@DarthWall275 depends on the market mate. In my experience, usually for all those jobs they are just happy to hire anyone lol If you have arms and legs you qualify.
Angelikatosh making her living in Cyrodiil baking sweetrolls. Salmo the Baker in Chapel District in Skingrad would be rough competition though, so hope you don't spawn there. I hear there's a demand for Sweetrolls in the Shivering Isles...
In addition to my education related to metallurgy, which opens up certain prospects for me in blacksmithing, I have experience in long hikes and sports archery. So if I don’t become something like a blacksmith or a hunter, then I may well become a robber who will rob you.
Learn Dunmeri at least then you could have some Understand tho it only work in chaydinhal and Morrowind. Plus the Dunmeri Language is only partly Complete their still a lot of Missing words.
Nice video as always! Often thought about this for lots of games, but never took the language issue into consideration for Cyrodiil - they all speak English at me... 😃
If you're a vet or in decent shape you could always join the legion too. It would be a good way to get some training in combat using medieval weapons. Afterwards you might just turn to adventuring yet.
I'm an engineer, I play music, I build guitars, I do woodwork and metalwork, I translate between English and Thai. So I think in Cyrodil TES IV time I'll probably try to become a luthier or go to something like bard's college lol

Me trying to remember my latin lessons from a decade ago
"Salutations...all Gaul is divided into three parts?"
"Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres."
Syrodiilia est omnis divisa in partes octingentis.
@@Dany94256wouldn’t it be 9? I would assume the imperial city is governed in a way where it’s essentially its own county no?
@@Niiiiith partes novem!
one of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitani another, those who in their own language are called Celts, in our Gauls, the third
I imagine there's probably some assumptions you can make about Cyrodiil to separate the canon reality from the games. Food is probably cooked, theres probably a form of sanitation, even if its more like the roman Cloaca Maxima, there's probably state/mercenary funded transport to other cities for a fee, like caravan, carriage, or something, etc.
Cyrodiil is also probably the size of a medium sized country. I'd say Germany is a good comparison. I think if i could communicate or find a translator (presumably a Breton) i would probably do decent as either a sailor or shopkeep. In real life i know basics of knot tying and canoeing is a hobby of mine so it'd be a small amount of experience with a steep learning curve... but it'd presumably be one of the safest places during the Oblivion Crisis. The biggest thing is where i end up. My goal would probably be to settle down near Lake Rumare or the Gold Coast (preferably Anvil or the Capital, but any of the surrounding towns could also work. I really dislike Leyawiin and Bravil is probably the least safe city in Cyrodiil so I'd probably want to stick away from the Niben bay, but thats a backup option
In Daggerfall there is ships and wagons you can buy and in Skyrim you have that guy in the wagon that will take you places
@UndisputedBillyBadass Yes exactly, even though they don't appear in Oblivion we can assume there's some sort of public transportation in Cyrodiil during the end of the 3rd Era. Wagons, caravans guarded by Mercenaries for hire, etc.
It's a sad day when there's a Leyawiin hater in the comment section.
One thing to consider in all these Scenarios, historical or fictional: Most people today are able to read and write, so as long as one could adapt to the given language, being able to write and copy books and other scripts would make you a mint, as these skills were very rare back then. It would also open up alot of paths of study, whether as an iniatiate in the Order of the Divines, or as a scholar at one of the Academies and Mage's Guilds.
that why after doing farm work i would get to learning the Latin from Dunmeri then do scribe work.
The elder scrolls is not our world though, and nothing in the games states that the ability to read is rare. In fact in thousands of hour playing Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and ESO, I don't remember any npc saying "I can't read/write". Diaries and signs are common as well. It's true we don't see much schools beside the ones for the mages, but we don't see children outside Skyrim so...
A tutor in this life, a tutor or scribe in Cyrodiil would be a little underwhelming, but yeah, might be the easiest fit.
Well I have grown up on a farm, generally cook my own meals and have practiced some swordplay. I'd say that's an okay baseline for a farmhand or for working at an Inn. However I think what Cyrodil really seems to need is someone who can do some health and safety inspections for those food storage solutions 💀💀💀
I'm a farmer and forrester by trade with hunting and fishing as a hobby so i think i would survie initially. If i could figure out communication with the natives maybe even thrive 😊 thank you for a great video
Solid plan. Thank you for your contributions as always!! ♥️
Set up a business even😮
If I got dropped into Cyrodiil I'm going strait to the skooma and going to find me a copy of "The Lust Argonian Maid".
1) I'm Italian = I could manage the language. Not easy but possible after some time.
2) Trades: If you manage the language barrier and can gain people trust, most people would find employment in big cities as many peasant jobs are fairly simple. I personally can cook (I worked in kitchens for years), I can clean and do gardening (same), I can sew, I have a lot of general technical knowledge (I'm an engineer). I also practice HEMA so I have combat training and can decide to join the army or some fighting faction (It may not be the best idea... I can be a trainer though).
3) Food poisoning and alcohol would be a real concern.
4) It's baffling that a Roman inspired society doesn't have common bath houses. Even though they're not in the game I assume they would have them.
5) Over 24 hours of trying to survive, you'll probably have no time to be bored.
PS The lack of chicken is actually accurate in a medieval setting (don't know if it's a coincidence or if the developer knew) but chicken wasn't commonly consumed at the time.
In real life, I’ve dabbled in blacksmithing, and I’m fond of sewing and knitting as well as cooking and baking, and I’ve brewed my own mead. I think this means I could be okay as an apprentice blacksmith, brewer, tailor or maybe even baker or chef.
Also you are a furry so on spawn in cyrodil you will be a khajit
Angelika, you are crushing it! Your comedic timing and placement is getting more fun every video!
I find your logic commendable, but I'd like to try and break it!
Survive 24 hours sounds easy enough. Go to the nearest town, clean the streets up (loot junk from barrels and boxes), sell to a general goods shop, go to the inn, eat vegetables, sleep, and win.
If it's a month, hear me out: magic doesn't exist irl, but it does in the game. Vampirism, while terrible in game I agree, always gives the user 4 spells: night vision, invisibility, charm, and fear. Get Vampirism, become level 1 vampire, acquire magic, and BREAK THE WORLD OPEN!
Once you learn how to go invisible, you can feed on hotel/inn guests almost risk-free. You can befriend people by charming them, reducing the risk being in cities and towns. The bonus to strength will let you become a formidable opponent at night, letting you kill and loot bandits and highwaymen. Using the money from those sales and feeding recently, one could go to a mage college and further research more magic, even procure the cure to vampirism. And once grasping the knowledge of magic, it's possible that once cured, you could still do magic once cured. (I'm thinking magic is a "flip a switch, you can now do it congrats" thing, since star signs work the same way. You are and atranoch, flip, absorb magic. You are a serpent, flip, you can paralyze on touch)
Or just get 3 quills, place them in the air, sit on them, and wow, passer bys. Much less interesting but hey a septim is a septim
Going into this with a certain page of the uesp memorized: "It's a secret syllable that will help us later"
But assuming I can't use metagame lore knowledge to achieve CHIM, I have a very rudimentary understanding of Latin, not enough to get by in a conversation, but my oddity might be enough to entertain a Mages' Guild member long enough for me to learn it, and then my hope would be to join the Mages' Guild or some temple.
Best case scenario you end up as a topic of study for the Mages Guild. You are after all from a completely different plane of the Aurbis beyond both Oblivion and Ætherius
same plus i know some Dunmeri atleast some of it like Home and Island and all the curse words.
@@PyrusFlameborn worst case scenario, you end up as a topic of study for Manimarco.
"How are you going to get there - BONK"
F*ck me, that made me burst out laughing.
I'm so genuinely happy when you upload, TES are such a comfort for me, your take is very fresh and fun. Times are hard and you make my day better
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Being Scandinavian i think i might be able to learn nordic language. So i would head north, towrds Bruma. From there i would try to cross the border in to Skyrim. I think i would be saafe there.
Unless you get caught in an imperial ambush
Same as us, and that thief over there!
Even tho it similar to how Latin works it not latin, tho maybe Nords would still be Speaking Nordic since People in Skyrim may not be speaking Tamrielic but rather the Old land tongue.
me i know Enough Dunmeri to ask for directions.
Your channel has a unique take on the Elder Scrolls games. Appreciate that.
I would play it cool and ask people about the high elves
Seen any Elves.
Just because I'm not the hero of kvatch doesn't mean I can't use my knowledge of the empire and locations/ways to earn coin etc.
Step 1: find the nearest mages guild and attempt to say "I don't speak the language" in as many languages as I can until one of the mages understands me or guesses what I mean and finds a spell to help
Step 2: hope that I can beat the hero of kvatch to the anvil house, if not slowly gather resources until I can afford a house by completing fetch quests or farming ingredients for potions to sell etc.
Step 3: use my home as a base while I train myself in combat, and magic assuming could learn it once I was in cyrodil, and earning/stealing/finding better gear
Step 4: play oblivion but ignore the main quest for a couple decades
Step 5: go see my boy count hassildor and talk him into making me immortal
Step 6: move over alduin, ES5 is now about a thousand year old vampire necromancer using his undead army to conquer the empire, the thalmor, the tribunal, and everything in between
DEAR HIRCINE you Done it you Beat the System.
This reminds me a bit of 'Living in Oblivion', where the unassuming character of Nondrick aims to just earn a living and be a perfectly ordinary guy in Cyrodiil with no adventurous distractions. He had mixed results.
Being Asian they might think of me as an Avakivir invador or if Im lucky an Altmer
Asia is a big place. Being indian doesn't makes you look like an altmer, that's for sure.
their Probably Akakavirir Still Living peacefuly in cyrodiil just we Don't see them plus some Imperials we see might be Akavirir.
I’d think you were Argonian
Id be a farm hand. Working for shelter and food. Never adventuring beyond the city after night. Ever. Maybe find myself a good solid diety to worship. One that is popularly shared by the majority. Id attend service and build a social network. As soon as possible id try to get out of manual labor and work a job that gives me more free time for personal development. Or attempt an apprenticeship. You wont find me in any Aylied ruins.
same will start of with farm works since i can grow stuff, and know some Dunmeri so living in Chaydinhal would be Fine. do the same then maybe get work as a scribe.
I’m an ancient cultures student with a good knowledge of elder scrolls lore, 3 years of university level Latin under my belt, decent competency at historical swordsmanship, own a few starting pieces of armour and an amateur at illuminated calligraphy. I think I could thrive there
Cheydinhal is my favourite city, love the architecture and the surrounding forests. Anvil is a runner up
Same tho being Scottish Bruma is better suited for my cold Climate Nature. Not sure i would survive a day in the warm grasslands of Anvil, chaydinhal maybe.
THAT HAIRBRUSH SMACH WAS PERFECT ROFL
1. Language: as long as I learn a few mudcrab related phrases in Cyrodiilic, I'd be fine.
2. Work: spear maker, it's easy enough to make a spear and attach a dagger to the end. It would blow the minds of everyone. Alternatively, I could be a bard! I'm terrible at singing, but by your own admission, the standards are REALLY low in Tamriel.
3. Food: sweet rolls.
There, all set.
Given that I'm a lore nerd, I think, once I learn Tamrielic, I could potentially be useful as some sort of historian or librarian. Of course, people would need to take me seriously, and I'm not sure how I'd ensure that.
I'm from Italy, will my Latin genes bless me with the gift of communication? Hope so, I would love to work as a translator specialised in Elder Scrolls (and some fine Argonian fanfictions, wink wink).
Loved the idea! Your content is always so original!
P.S I would DIE for a Skyrim-the-horse appereance 😍
Human: Italian.
Racial trait: can speak spaghetti.
Career: translator.
Yeah, that tracks lol.
@@DH-xw6jpwe can talk spaghetti and gestures, let's be precise 🎉
@@Dany94256 now go to the mage's college and learn the spell "Summon: Garlic Bread", you'd be the Imperial City's favorite chef.
This is a great video concept! A lot of fun and I hope you do more
Joining some kind of religious order seems like a good plan, except that sometimes the gods are a lot more involved than in our world, and monasteries seem to be a popular destination for Bandits and worse things.
work in a city then, assuming you know Latin or other Tamrielic Language like Dunmeri Or Nordic then then you be fine.
happy friday Angelika!! ty for today's video have a nice weekend ❤
As a geologist, at first I thought I'd do survey work for companies to help establish mines/ wells. It's the closest job to an actual adventurer, after all. Live out the fantasy. However, considering how dangerous Cyrodiil is, I'd be dead in a week
So at most, I would stick to the cities and help with hazard assessment for buildings, bridges, etc. Or as a consultant for similar projects. The Imperial City and Kvatch are going to need some rebuilding after the Crisis, too. So demand will be there
Very thought provoking concept!
Loved the editing, keep up the good work. Nothing more relaxing then oblivion videos.
as long as I don't get trapped in any paintings I think id do well as an artist
Thank you. That was a fun idea.
As an ex soldier I am quite comfortable with fighting and the more nastier aspects of it. I have indeed studied Latin though I am only passable at speaking it.
I am okay with sword. But I have absolute confidence in my ability with a Bow. I also own three suits of plate armour and various combinations of mail and the like. So I know how to move in the stuff.
I have an extremely strong stomach so food poisoning isn't too much a concern for me.
I have hunted my whole life so taking on wildlife doesn't phase me. The Daedric dudes kinda do. As I don't have the slightest clue how tough they actually are.
The no showers thing kinda sucks though. I like lava hot showers at the end of the day. And ice cold ones in the morning.
An 8/10 is what I would rate my chances. Assuming I get employment with the Guards or Legion.
I would not survive in a fight book worm, but at least Know some Dunmeri not just the curse words, as for Deadra their Armoured warrior if dealing with Humanoid the beast kind like fighting bears or Bigs, Plus they do not Die any time you kill one their soul gets send to Obilvion and they just walk out of Lava Pissed they got Killed.
if you not seen the Elder scroll online trailer watch it must see, the Deadra warriors when they see the massive archway/bridge about to land on them just raise their sword to their face in a cool pose since they know it not the end.
I would probably go to bruma work as a scribe then make my way to Skyrim.
@@CommanderM117 Technically speaking the Hero of Kvatch isn't anything too special. And even if they are so what ? They're the ones doing all the fighting fantastical demon things.
And while Daedric beings can't die it's possible to keep them from entering enmass into the mortal world so it's not all that bad.
Besides in this scenario I am not the protagonist. I am at worse some Random Guard or a soldier of the Legion. I have no qualms about killing bandits , bears , goblins , etc.
Silver weapons are standard issue among the Legion and Guards so even Ghosts aren't a problem.
So all I gotta do is keep my head down and follow orders. I did that for years. Ain't no reason I can't do it again.
@@clothar23 true tho with Obilvion crisis the Deadra get in easier so more deadra then Normal, the safe guard they had is basicly gone, and if i recall 3 settlement are hit by deadra hard Kavatch Imperial city and a place south of Bravil not marked on the map.
you be fine with your training and maybe manage to kill a deadra warrior.
I dont even play these games, man. Why are these videos so good and why do i keep coming back? did you poison my water or something
This is a sign that you would REALLY enjoy the games!
Dude, play oblivion. If you drink, do it drunk and don't take it seriously. (Or your other lubricant of choice). Game is a hilarious feverdream.
@@isthisoneunavailable I dont drink but im very good at not taking stuff seriously!
But for realsies, its just a matter of how much time i have in my hands
just found this channel, its amazing
Yes I would survive; I know enough speed boosting restoration magic and drink enough skooma to outpace anything that might try to kill me.
I have 20/80 vision in one eye and 20/200 vision in the other eye. While I can certainly manage without my glasses (I lose them constantly) I would die immediately in Cyrodill. May her majesty Saint Alessia bless you.
As a Mexican, im posting up in the Imperial city making Mud crab tacos for those wanting something different from the tasteless Nord Cuisine. I highly recommend my Nirnroot Salsa.
Why did I just discover your channel? Your content is litteraly the type of stuff I always seeked to find and watch😭,and now your content found me! Most youtubers are men and usually do informative stuff about oblivion (which is also great) + majority of the content is the same. You create really creative and cool content. Perfect for people who love this game.
Speaking from the perspective of a now 17 year old girl, who started playing oblivion at the age of 4/5 due to her grandpa, who loved video games and computers back in the days, and introduced this game to her. Till this day this game influences me, I‘ve been playing it each year for 2 weeks. I really enjoy listening to the oblivion backround music. I just love the vibe cause it‘s SO nostalgic and it kinda distracts me from the daily stuff.
My fellow adventurers, be careful what you wish for…
This video is awesome haha
As somebody that hasn't played Oblivion, it's a way to kind of worm my way into the world a little and see if I enjoy it before playing.
As someone proficient in martial arts, archery and my smaller stature abling me to be rather sneaky if needed added with many hours of packpacking/camping experience id be confident i would do just fine.
I love this concept of content. Keep up the good work! 😁
Glad I do blacksmithing as a hobby!
I loved this video! Pls make more of em, maybe one in Morrowind, i feel like that would be wild
With knowledge of the lore like I've got, I'd be a historian! Id probably give adventurers quests to go fetch things in dangerous ruins to further my studies
same Language barrier would be an issue at first but i know enough Dunmeri to ask for directions and Swear.
@CommanderM117 I know some dovahzul, I can figure out the local languages starting from Skyrim 👌
If the ancient Nords spoke the dragon tongue, then it's not a leap to assume that Atmoran is derived from it to some extent, just like Spanish is a Latin-root language.
I wouldn't survive, so i'd just move into the nearest inn and drink cider forevermore
I’d probably be one of the bodies on poles that you see in bandit camps
Her voice is angelic.
Great work! These are always fun to watch. I would personally also be screwed, as I am a game developer lol
I think this could be a great format for Skyrim and Morrorwind as well!
Anyway great Video!
I am a historian and wine merchant/ sommelier so I could probably find work in Skingrad as a wine server for one of the vineyards.
This would be the single greatest choose your own adventure spin off board/card game. Also, I would survive.
The funny thing about the whole “you wouldn’t survive 24 hours in the Middle Ages” thing is that they usually forget that hospitality was considered a near mandatory provision throughout much of that time. A traveler could almost always find a place to sleep and a bite to eat for at least one night. You might have to do some work or something depending on the season and time of day you arrive, but this was a common custom. You could survive 24 hours. Now a few days might be another story. That would really stink if you were around for harvesting season. That was hard work.
I'll sit behind university walls until I die of old age)
And maybe I'll try to learn portals and I will travel from Mages Guilds buildings and deliver things)
I mean that’s a solid plan but you could do better
I didn't know Angelikatosh Studios, they made a great work :3
I need another one omg such a fun vid
Angelikatosh: "So how do you get there?" *bonks us on the head, screen goes black*
*eyes open, we're in a carriage being pulled through the woods*
Ralof: "Hey, you. You're finally awake.."
Omg - I finally know where the cliff racer young scrolls song comes from - that damned singing Dunmer! :O
Imagine just waltzing to work and you spot an Oblivion Gate open up 💀
I think theres def a chance. One thing abt Elder Scrolls that I like is that the setting tends to be hospitable in a lot of ways, I can def see myself starting at the bottom with sucky jobs but then saving my pennies to get training from the Fighter's Guild or learn a bit of magic. If you read between the lines theres always gonna be a demand for grunt work, Im sure people need wood chopped and that kinda deal, working in a vineyard for a while wouldnt be a bad deal. Im sure this is a common thing in Cyrodiil, theres no shortage of adventurers either and they have to come from somewhere. Maybe that could be an ultimate goal for me to aim for, get good enough after several years to strike out and raid an old tomb with some buddies, make a big score. Ofc getting out alive would be tough 😅
i would loot all of the stuff from the barrels and boxes in the city. Taking that stuff is not considered stealing so it's free game. I would then follow a guard to the next town and repeat until i have enough to survive.
Now that i think about it tho, i'm not entirely sure how much free stuff you can get from containers, will have to take a look and see how much gold i could get in that scenario lmao.
that if their Using Game Logic if not keep and eye out before you loot Barrels if a guard sees you doing it a bunch they might arrest you for it. since it either Property of the Count/Countess or still Property.
The "punch-line" in the beginning was so funny
finally being a chemist will pay off
As a working-class boyo who regularly works out and has at least some martial arts training and has changed a lot of different working-class jobs from iron melting, farms, stores,bakery, woodworking, construction, road making, vineyards to bartending I actually qualify for a lot of listed jobs lol Im good :D
But don't people want to hire professionals?
@@DarthWall275 depends on the market mate. In my experience, usually for all those jobs they are just happy to hire anyone lol If you have arms and legs you qualify.
Take some Latin, and you'll be a great fit.
Angelikatosh making her living in Cyrodiil baking sweetrolls. Salmo the Baker in Chapel District in Skingrad would be rough competition though, so hope you don't spawn there. I hear there's a demand for Sweetrolls in the Shivering Isles...
In addition to my education related to metallurgy, which opens up certain prospects for me in blacksmithing, I have experience in long hikes and sports archery. So if I don’t become something like a blacksmith or a hunter, then I may well become a robber who will rob you.
luckily I do have experience with gardening so me becoming a farmer wouldn't take as much work as it would for others.
same.
Absolutely have to do the shivering isles!!!
Please make more of these, skyrim, morrowind, daggerfall ect!
Hello miss have a nice day 😊
I'd head to an inn in the imperial city and stay there forever.
i feel like the language barrier would be the hardest on me and how badly i’d miss the internet 😂
Learn Dunmeri at least then you could have some Understand tho it only work in chaydinhal and Morrowind.
Plus the Dunmeri Language is only partly Complete their still a lot of Missing words.
man you look and sound beautiful ❤
i got an ad for cheetos right before you talked about hot cheetos lmao
Very cool!
Nice video as always! Often thought about this for lots of games, but never took the language issue into consideration for Cyrodiil - they all speak English at me... 😃
try Playing Morrowind they will start Insulting to in their Native Tongue.
"how are we to get there?" hilarious
As someone who lives in Australia, I cracked up laughing at the "Pig Latin" bit. Caught me off guard. xD
That vampire line was no joke 😅
If you're a vet or in decent shape you could always join the legion too. It would be a good way to get some training in combat using medieval weapons. Afterwards you might just turn to adventuring yet.
I'm an engineer, I play music, I build guitars, I do woodwork and metalwork, I translate between English and Thai. So I think in Cyrodil TES IV time I'll probably try to become a luthier or go to something like bard's college lol
I just stumbled on this video, and I really enjoyed it! New sub right here :D
Now I'll check what else you've uploaded!
Welcome to the channel!!!♥️♥️
@@Angelikatosh Glad to be here! Hoping for a video like this for Morrowind, for I happen to be a very skilled, enslaved egg miner, so I'm curious about my prospects.
