Oblivion’s OST is literally my childhood encapsulated, whenever I hear it I instantly get goosebumps and feel at peace. I love oblivion ❤️

Oblivion helped me through a horrible time in my life. Not just was the game so freaking fun but a lot of stuff it introduced to me, surprised me at the time. Things like the open world, the npc day cycles, the races, the fact that you could loot almost everything. Sure now that I've played it for such a long time I've seen its flaws; the removal of the Jungle, Culture, and Lore was very upsetting looking back now. The Oblivion gates were really annoying cause they were around the same 10 gates...when there's like 60 gates in the game. The armors were hit and miss with some really terrible looking helmets and the leveling system is an unhinged mess. But holy crap, I still feel whimsical walking through the forests of Cyrodill; I still feel eriee when exploring the dungeons. I love the quests, I love the guilds, I love the characters. I love the setting, I love the shivering isles, I love looking for the daedric artifacts and finding ancient powerful relics to slay monsters and villains. Oblivion is my favorite game and always will be.

Oblivion stands out so starkly to the other Elder Scrolls Games. Morrowind is like watching a Ray Harryhausen claymation film about medieval Martians, Skyrim is like an HBO Game of Thrones knock-off. Any Oblivion is like the Muppet Show with with special guest stars Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean.

It's weird to say that it's a game of thrones knock off because GOT was inferior to Skyrim and relied on tv porting character death drama to generate profit. It's similar to walking dead - the writing works because it's so easy to jerk the audience back and forth by subverting expectations. Like a pendulum, it is way easier to reach the other extreme when you're pulled back first. Morrowind has the best story of the games though. I think people think a video game means it has to be visually spectacular or it's not good. But that's what movies are for. That's why Marvel went in the shitter. It's trying too hard to appeal to visual spectacularity instead of realism and focus on gameplay loop. In conclusion: roleplaying worlds should not be treated like movies. Movies have static, linear storylines, good RPGs do not

I played Oblivion for the first time, maybe 2 years ago. Tried to play in the past, but this time, I committed and loved every second!

Elder Scrolls 3 saved me from an abusive relationship, and I'm not even joking. And Elder Scrolls 4 helped me make friends by finding people with my interests. These games have legitimately been major factors in my life at different times.

I absolutely love Oblivion: the magic system, the physics (the good and the bad), the combat, the quests, the lore, etc. I find myself coming back to it quite often.

To this day I consider Shivering Isles to be the best DLC ever made for any game, but I just started Shadow of the Erdtree, and it may give Shivering Isles a run for its money. Different genres, but both DLC have something crucial in common, the most concise way I can put it is that both seem to have been made as full size games in and of themselves, almost like half sequels, rather than just add ons. I don’t know why more game companies haven’t done that in all these years.

Oblivion is a wonderful game, despite its many flaws. Its like a good relationship. You see the flaws, but many of them endear the object of your affection to you. She's quirky & most definitely not for everyone. That suits me just fine.

You just sumarized everthing I've been thinking of Oblivion. I always found it's humor and wackiness charming, especially combined with clunky gameplay mechanics and bugs. On the other hand it tends to be very profound and philosophical at times. Especially with it's soundtrack.

Man i just put another like 30-50 hours into oblivion last December its the only game as old as it is that keeps me coming back and picking it back up for a bit every so often

It doesn't add a whole lot to your presentation but, Mankor Cameron was portrayed by Terence Stamp - another excellent famous actor. Great video!

When I look back at my life and some of the things that gave me the sense of humor that I have today, the shivering Isles definitely plays a huge part in it. It was just so absurdist, and everything Sheogorath said was just icing on the cake. It was like anchorman style humor turned into a video game and I loved it. When I think of how little I get for DLC in video games nowadays, I remember how many dozens of hours I got out of the shivering isles. Best DLC I’ve ever purchased.

I'll not forget the colours of the setting sun like I had not seen before in a game. It was a gem and thank you for this reminder! ❤

3:27 I realized this myself. I was contemplating life after I graduated college and realized the idea of a bunch of sentient monkeys who are the only self aware beings in the universe(as far as we know) walking around doing evil to one another as much as good was the most absurd thing I had ever conceived of. silly games like this are one of those things that got me thinking we're like a bunch of NPCs wandering around with our set schedules and priorities blissfully unable to even perceive the greater reality or significance of our existence. Long story short, I think that was the first step I took to finding God. It just takes a little bit of humility to sit back and laugh at existence itself and realize how small our perspective truly is.

I'm hoping that the Oblivion remaster is real. I'd love to play through it again. The only real complaint I have that I'd hope would be addressed is the lack of NPCs in towns. Last I tried to play it felt so empty it was immersion breaking. The imperial city is the main one. It needs to be packed and feel lived in. Edit: more voice actors too.

Oblivion is one of those games I just always end up returning to. It's just pure comfort to me. Oblivion, RE4(original), Dark Souls 1, Fallout NV, Halo 2, 3, and Reach, Borderlands 2, Galactic Battlegrounds, Empire at War - they've always got me when other games fail to keep me. There were times in my life where these games were literally the only ones I played, and honestly, if I had to go back to just playing those for the next 10 years or so, I think I'd be alright with that. Granted I do mod a lot, but still.

Always love seeing appreciation for Oblivion. It was and still is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and I consider it a comfort game.

Cut off the intro audio but I still hear it "Behold, in darkness, a doom sweeps the land." first Elder Scrolls game I played, was 8 or 9 at the time and still love oblivion to this day.

10:25 LMFAO bruh this brings up so much nostalgia I remember pickpocketing a mf elf and that mf started screaming pick pocket and going crazy The “thank ya kind sir!” Oblivion is charming and the shivering isles perfectly encapsulates the games

I actually didn't really like Oblivion on release having come from Morrowind, mostly because of what you mentioned about how absurd the game is. The Shivering Isles completely changed my perception of the game, embracing that absurdity and madness and completely turned my opinion of Oblivion around. Man I miss crafting my own spells and enchantments in both those games, though.

Now Star Citizen has a $48,000 DLC spaceship. Oh, how far we’ve fallen.

It was my first open world game and role play game.

I have to admit this was the first game of Elder scrolls I’ve ever played. It is also my favorite, even if it might not be the best. I would very much like to try to play sky oblivion, but I don’t know how.

Love Skyrim and oblivion. Both unique game with unique charm. I can't choose to give up either of them

I hope they preserve the insanity while modernizing the gameplay. The leveling system is broken. How they choose to fix it doesn't really matter - they could go with the Fallout system and just use experience and use that to upgrade your "special" stats, or they could go all-in with the Skyrim system where it's all about the skills and perks and attributes don't matter. The biggest issue is that, in vanilla Oblivion, you can get "weaker" as you gain levels if you don't have an intricate plan.

Feel like Oblivion had the same thing happen to it as Demon’s Souls three years later. Just got totally eclipsed by the next installment of said games. Like once dark souls came out nobody talked about demon’s souls just like oblivion got forgotten because Skyrimalot. Edit: we definitely need some love for remastering both! morrowind & oblivion. And I mean maybe throw in Skyrim, like guess make a “new era” bundle. But I want a twenty year anniversary for ES.IV.O

The game was going to be a lot better. There was a main developer that in old threads talked about how Cyrodill the game is set in was going to look alien like, like Morrowind before it. But Todd Howard watched movie Lord of the Rings and changed everything.

Oblivion is a masterpiece ❤. Flawed, but good and memorable. Take notes, Bethesda.

Back when it came out games hadnt come as far & I remember how amazed I was by Oblivion at that time. At 13ish i played it & it was the entire reason I ended up buying a Xbox 360 with my Bday money. I saved all I could & told all my friends & fam I was trying to get a 360. 1 of my favorite memories ever. Oblivion has nice writing & characters. Skyrim feels more dry but, has better systems. (Skyrim is not bad in story) im js it feels dry because, Bethesda couldnt write a well paced story if it smacked them in the face.

Ive actually played oblivion these past weeks and its so fun! The dlc, quests, and the quest lines! Oblivion is truly the best elder scrolls

One of my favorite bits of Oblivion is that, you aren't the chosen one. You are just a guy, and not just a guy, a prisoner. You just happen to be in the cell that the blades are using by chance, and frankly you have no real reason to do what the Emperor tells you. It is the call to adventure, you aren't a chosen one, you aren't someone destined for greatness. You just happen to be there and are the right man for the time. It is a good game overall, fun, varied environments and interesting mechanics. I would love to see a remaster someday, be it Skyblivion or an official remaster. As the games visuals (especially character models) have aged a bit.

Oblivion is the video game that I will keep replaying every few years, I did it just last year and I think it's too early at the moment. You showed us the jumping mechanic to level up acrobatics - it makes no sense to have it in a video game, but I always do it and for bizarre reasons, it keeps me engaged. The combination of Oblivion ingredients is simply perfect. I like your philosophical take on the game - we do many things, not because they make sense objectively, but because we take pleasure in doing them.

the game just is what it is , and as is the case for me with all fallout/elder scrolls games i play them unmodded because they just are what they are regardless of the absurdity

I have tried SO HARD to get into Oblivion but I just can’t do it. Love Skyrim and Morrowind, but I’ve put in hours and hours into Oblivion over multiple attempts and I’ve just never really enjoyed it. The story never really clicked with me, there’s little to no role playing, and the dialogue isn’t anything to write home about. But that’s fine, right? Skyrim didn’t excel at any of that either, what carried that game for me was the exploration, the combat, and the progression. The cycle of dopamine. But in Oblivion enemy scaling is broken, so unless you google how to optimally level you’ll have to constantly turn down the difficulty or else feel like you’re either not getting stronger at all, or god forbid getting WEAKER. So even just playing to experience the progression is a no go. So if I’m not playing for the combat/progression, and I’m not playing for the story/dialogue, why am I playing? Exploration? It’s 99% forest and plains, and I can fast travel anywhere from the jump. I’m sorry man, I just can’t figure it out. I feel like I’m missing something obvious, and if anyone has any tips or ideas please let me know! Edit: I’m hoping Skyblivion helps, since at the very least scaling will be fixed. Shame that Shivering Isles won’t be released at launch, though understandably, as I’ve heard that’s some of the best Oblivion has to offer.

No I think you are right. Nostalgia is often misused as an explanation of why people like old games, when oftentimes they are as good or better than modern ones, but Oblivion, at its core a quite juvenile experience, and i think it's hard to enjoy today, at least as an adult, without having played it while younger. The guild quest lines, the part of the game that seems to be the most lauded, work as sort of entertaining roller coaster rides that take the player through some twist and turns and send them on some fun quests, but nothing more. And as you said, there is no depth in combat, narrative or exploration and the roleplaying is almost nonexistent. I think the video author explained the pull of the game quite well though, it's dumb, absurd fun and oftentimes funny, but for me personally even that gets old rather quickly. I also don't really get the hype for projects like Skyblivion or Skywind etc. I mean, as far as I understand it, it's the same game but without the aesthetic qualities and gameplay quirks that made it what it is. Better graphics sure, but blander also. They just seam quite devoid of character and pointless.

I genuinely think it’s a great game. Like Morrowind, it broke new ground (not just the horse armour) quests like the dark brotherhood and inside the painting, as well as the dlc, where some of the best. It is the most dated of the franchise, it’s both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious games. It does need a remake that doesn’t strip away it’s own identity.

Shivering Isles is in the conversation of the greatest DLCs of all time

Skyblivion is my most anticipated game of 2025, can't wait to get lost in oblivion again.

I’ve played Skyrim, then Oblivion, then ESO, then Morrowind. The only one I couldn’t abide was Morrowind, and I tried three times. Advice for making it through the beginning of Morrowind is welcome.

Say what you will about Oblivion. It was my introduction to The Elder Scrolls,I love the story and the expansions and while I much prefer the visual styles of Morrowind and Skyrim,Oblivion has a goofy charm to it

In my opinion, TES IV is the best TES game. It’s just a magical experience (I’m biased as it’s my favorite game ever) and although some may prefer Morrowind or Skyrim, I just always felt that this one was a true masterpiece that got to benefit from some of the best graphic and open world mechanics a game could get at the time it was released. This workmanship is from an Era of Bethesda that is no longer around 😢.

I disagree from before you leave your cell. You are explained by the emperor how special and important and how you're the chosen one and how you're in his dreams. I don't think it's right to say you're not somebody special. You just not recognized it the way you are, by the npcs in skyrim

The only genuinely and objectively absurd thing in Oblivion is level-scaling: enemies, item tables, etc. Everything else is a subjective matter.

In my opinion this is the best Elder Scrolls game

NI-NI-NI-NI-NI-NI-NI-NI-NI-NI-NI!!!

The level scaling makes it nearly unplayable in actual reality. One of the worst game design decisions of all time, a decision so bad the very idea of massive overhaul mods was created as a result of it. Oblivion did not ever get talked about without OOO back in the day. No revisionism will change that. Oblivion is a horrendous game without it.

You have misunderstood Mankar's argument about Mundus and Lorkhan. His argument is that Lorkhan is himself Daedric Prince, that Tamriel (likely being used as a synecdoche for Mundus) is his realm of Oblivion, and that the Aedra (most of the Eight Divines, as this was before Talos) betrayed him and are usurpers. To quote: "Tamriel is just one more Daedric realm of Oblivion, long since lost to its Prince when he was betrayed by those that served him." And Mankar specifically calls out Julianos (Jhunal), Dibella, and Stendarr (Stuhn) as "Lorkhan's betrayers, posing as divinities in a principality that has lost its guiding light." And Michael Kirkbride, who wrote the commentaries and Mankar's Paradise monologue for _Oblivion,_ has confirned that, according to his own personal interpretation, Mankar is mostly correct (slight inaccuracies not withstanding). And I am still of the opinion that Magnus is that true Trickster, since he is the one who actually designed Magnus and how it operates. He is the one who knew its creation would rob the others of their power, and he is the one who fled to Aetherius right when the truth was becoming revealed. Lorkhan, I am convinced, is the victim of circumstance. He took the blame for another, and he been slandered and maligned by Auriel and the others (besides Kynareth/Kyne) ever since.

Game came out 12 Days after I was born Its so fun but dated alot.

No bugs here...only feature's

Oblivion was the best I loved it more than anything Bethesda has made I spent so much time on my Xbox 360 played it over and over

Crazy how skyrim only came out only 13 years ago .

Oblivion, with all its flaws and absurdities, is a masterpiece.

2:55 But that can't be what they're doing. They wouldn't just rebuild every single tired system from Oblivion in the Skyrim Creation Kit. That would be reinventing the wheel. There would be no point. It would make more sense to mod Oblivion to improve its graphics and controls. That can't be what they're doing. That would make them the most foolish, time-wasting people around to recreate Oblivion's engine and require you to have Skyrim installed to play it. They have to be abandoning many of Oblivion's features like character parameters and spell creation. Otherwise, what is it that they're trying to accomplish?

Now, I know Oblivion still stands out as one of the all-time top RPGs, but these days it's just a little bit too... dated. I simply can't get passed the simplistic combat system and, well... the "potato-faced" NPCs. I'm afraid Skyrim has outshined it in this regard. Of course, there are mods that can smoothen that out. And I can't say for certain if Skyblivion will actually be successful. Given how long this project has been going on, I can't help but feel a bit apprehensive about it. Eh... maybe I'm just getting old, too.

the thing I noticed that makes Oblivion combat feel more special is to dive deeper into the Magic system in the game that is actually more complex than it appears, if you haven't tried it yet make a build heavily focused on Conjuration, being able to summon your weapons and armor while also summoning all sorts of crazy creatures far outstrips Skyrim's combat. sadly that extremely creative and in depth conjuration build is impossible in Skyrim with its limited spell roster, the improvement to Melee combat was a nice and absolutely needed change but the Magic was undercooked as a system.
