Winson is one of my favorite NPC's because of how buggy his schedule is. He goes to the Arena and watches for a whopping 14 hours and then goes to work all through the night without eating or sleeping every single day. Then for some reason on every 30th of each month he makes a 14 hour trek to Bruma and stays for like 2 days and then walks back.

Same bro. Good times with my netbook

When I first got this game on my PC back in the day I remember our internet was so slow it took me like 18 hours to download the 4-ish gigabyte game. My PC was so low end that I could barely run the game on low at 480p at 25-30 fps. I remember I wanted to be a mage and I'd cast a fireball and it'd be beyond my draw distance in about 1.5 seconds and just disappear. When I finally got my first gaming rig Oblivion was one of the first games I installed so I could play it on max settings and I remember getting Fireball and going outside and just casting fireballs into the sky because now I could watch them go on forever. That same new PC was also the one I first downloaded Skyrim on and it could barely run it. Then when I upgraded again Skyrim was the first game I tried out with maxed settings lol.

The sad part is theres people out there who actually have to play on these settings because theyre trying to game on some laptop their parents bought them for school.

I got an Xbox 360 just to play this game back then. Those were good times.

The lowest settings + first person pov looks like these old rpg games where you click your mouse on arrows to move around.

Man this takes me back. I never had the LOD down that low, but I remember playing the game with shaders off.

Those smash zooms to Sergio Leone full frame face closeups are awesome! :D

I kinda like the low setting. Thing is, Oblivion came at a weird time for video game graphics. Older games were necessarily much more abstract, and thus I think they aged better, paradoxically. You'd never mistake them for striving for realism. Around the time of Oblivion, it became more common to really try and go for fidelity, but the technology wasn't quite there, so games from that era aged particularly bad imo. The low detail and resolution here takes some of that away, makes it more abstract, and again paradoxically, kinda makes it /better/.

Every video ive seen from this channel has started with a fight with the weather

the low presets honestly make me feel weirdly nostalgic, for like, the early 2000's PC games

Dude! That guard is me kicking bums out of the parking lot of the shopping center I work at that is a 5 minute walk from the beach but in Oblivion. My life is complete thank you for that lovely surreal documentary.

This is how I used to have to play on the family laptop.

2:01 I thought that was Armand Christophe for a second. (I find it funny to imagine a guard following Armand as he wanders through the wilderness)

I would love to see this playthrough!

I like how on low the trees are flat sprites which rotate with you as you go around them.

This is literally how I experienced oblivion for the first time in like 2007, and I still fell in love. That led to my first graphics card purchase

lol i really love your channel and its joyful uselessness

I used to play this on my parents PC when I was a kid. I don't think it even had a graphics card. I had to play on the lowest settings, when you are in a cave or other dark area with shadows shut off all the way there is no darkness. I never needed torches or anything lol

Fun fact: I actually did try to run Oblivion on an old Dell Laptop from the early 2000’s. You know, the ones that have like 1 gig of RAM

I basically played in this mode the entire time I had the game, there was also the fun side effect of a texture issue so all the grass and most of the land was purple

"Im losing my mind!" "Mind?! Sir, youve lost your entire head!"

that pop-in is like someone's squeezing those buildings out of a tube of toothpaste

Fun fact on low settings invisibility doesn't work, if an enemy makes themselves invisible it just adds a blue filter to them and you can see through them slightly

I can't stay serious when playing Oblivion. However, I do have to say that the ability to go to higher terrain with no distance fog and seeing the beautiful landscape was an experience I'd never forget. I've tried to go back to this one spot next to an Aylied ruin where I can see the Imperial City every so often to see that wonderful view.

Feels almost nostalgic to watch this video as those level of graphics were pretty normal to me as a kid with older games and old computer. Some games did better and it was amazing. Really learned to appreciate a good story in a game. Good graphics are just a nice addition.

That "to make it run on your dell laptop from 2006" hit me has hard and accurate has a shoot from a sniper rifle.

This is actually pretty fascinating to see what get priorities in the game!

The way the camera clipped through their body when he's interracting, omg i can't🤣💀

You could try to do the charisma game with that.

Low settings look like Medal of Honor Allied Assault lmao.

I had to play on lowest setting with my laptop back in 2009 I think. This is really nice to see

Literally how I played the game on my garbage home computer.

you are doing gods work man

I remember when I got this game my graphics card straight up could not play it. I ended up using some weird low setting program that literally stripped out a ton of the special effects. It literally looked like morrowind. I could play it though.

@IvanNOFX

Same. It's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this video. I remember that you could turn off all the lighting but that makes dungeons and caves too bright and not immersive at all. That was one of the things that boosted the fps the most but I just couldn't play it that way, I had to lower other settings. I also remember the trees actually being 2D sprites. I think they were actually LOD sprites that would usually be used for distant trees, but they were used for everything in Oldblivion. When Fallout 3 came out there was also a project like that for it. It was called Fallold or something like that. It is the same engine, just updated, but I couldn't manage to get it to play above 5 fps. I remember one thing that made the fps a bit better (10-12fps on my system) was removing the heads of all NPCs, just like in this video. I think they use some shader that was very taxing for my GPU (I think I had the infamous Nvidia FX 5200). I gave up and totally forgot about Oldblivion and Fallold until I saw this video. My only full playthrough of Oblivion was with Oldblivion and I kind of regret not playing it again after I got a better PC, but I played Skyrim so much I kind of got bored of the whole Bethesda formula. I didn't even play Fallout 4 yet at all.

This is how i used to run oblivion on my windows vista laptop when i was a teen. You better believe i had 30+ mods installed at all times boggin the frames even farther down

i played the game like this back in '06. good times.

Honestly, I played this back in 2007 like this, as I was maybe 13 years old, had a 3 year old pc, which had an ati radeon 9600 and an athlon 3000+ in it, which was barely enough to run the game (maybe some minor settings where minimal higher, but most likely not by much). I still loved it though.

well, this is just oblivion as it looked like to me back then lol

The joys of having a old computer trying to do it's best with those 10 FPS on the lowest of lows, with performance mods being bit of a savior as to not make the toaster explode.

This is how my brother played it to get a stable frameratr at very low .I couldn't do it so I switched it to low with least distance draw fog everywhere but it didn't look like very low

Man the first beta of the psp version lookin great tbh

5:20 Is what the imperial city looked like after the thalmor got done with it XD

When I got my first high end gaming pc in 2008 these graphics blew my mind...

I didn't think that there would be that HUGE a difference between medium and low! Thats crazy!

Truly an epic gamer moment

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Back then I had a Duron 1200MHz & Geforce 3 Ti200. The cpu is lower than minimum, and my card might've been a 64MB VRAM version so half of the minimum for Oblivion. No wonder I remember this "low" experience vividly. And before I could have the low experience (someone in comments mentioned it was patched in) I think I must've desperately created a character with the game running 4fps while looking pretty good. Or maybe that was some leaked unoptimized tech demo, hard to remember. The little I struggled through with my budget gaming rig was not very impressive for someone who spent time in Morrowind reading through everything and enjoying the atmosphere. I was also very irritated about the TV screen optimized GUI. Thus I never visited Oblivion again.

It's what I'd Imagine Oblivion would look like on the DS.

I remember having problems with "Knights of the Nine"-Map because I couldn't see anything beside a pixelated mess.

i used to play a lot on low preset back in 2006 sweet memories

Ahh... Good memories... When I bought Oblivion, my PC barely matched minimal requirements to run it. I was playing on lowest settings with like 20 - 30 fps. But I was so happy I didn't even noticed it.

I feel old this game is almost 20 years old

:D this is how I played for most of my childhood, oldblivion saved lot of us with old pc
