i find that starting at a harder difficulty and scaling it down as you level up helps with how the game feels and how powerful you feel by a lot

These streams were so much fun. Oblivion on hardest difficulty really makes you FEEL like the Hero of Kvatch 10/10.

Pick the Atronach sign and later equip 50% absorb magicka worth of enchanted gear. You will then never die from magic attacks again. It would bypass the High Elf weakness to magic issue.

Oblivion is for sure one of my favorite games of all time but I sometimes can’t stand the difficulty being so imbalanced. I love to play games on the hardest difficulty so oblivion can drive me nuts sometime lol 😆

Once you manage to get 100% chameleon all difficulty disappears

Oblivion can be fun on the hardest difficulty! It's super rough in the start, but it does make you play in a whole new way when you exit the sewers 😊Summons, poisons, weakness spells. And of course, minding level-ups. Oblivion is wonky and unbalanced in many ways, but it does present a unique challenge 🔥 After having finished the game on the hardest difficulty myself, I recommend it as a fun challenge for those with a masochist spirit. Oh, and the reason the goblins were so awful in the sewers is because they were wielding daggers, rather than using fists like before. Creatures with physical damage are the real danger 😳

Glad to see your comment on here. I was about to mention that you did a 100% Oblivion playthrough on the Hardest difficulty.

This is how I first played the game. Took me weeks to get past the sewers... never realized what I did by changing the difficulty 🤣

worth noting that all the rats in the tutorial are "simple creatures" so the bosmer ability works on them. Also worth noting difficulty has no effect on NPC damage to and from other NPCs so as much help as you can get from NPCs is welcome.

I think the High Elf's weakness to magicka makes sense. Magic flows through their bodies very easily, like how metal can conduct electricty. This makes it easier for them to use magic, but it also makes magical attacks more effective against them.

This is so entertaining, can't wait for the next episode

Oblivion on its highest difficulty makes Elden Ring look like a walk in the park. I remember my fight with Mannimarco at that high level. It was a fight worthy of the gods of Tamriel. Especially when I kept distracting his summoned undead with my Dremora lord, and I pummeled his face with my fists.

Heya! Streams are always so epic, keeping the same energy as your videos in a stream is rare for people and ur so awesome at it. That's amazing.

i did the same thing except in Skyrim, because my TV actually cut off part of the screen so i couldn't even see the "over encumbered" notification. So i literally WALKED from Falkreath to Solitude. Then, i accidentally dropped an item and felt soooo stupid for not having figured that out before

My dad bought me Oblivion when I was 12 back in 2006. But without me knowing, he put the hardest diffuculty on. I proceeded to play Oblivion on this difficulty for years, Before I realised it could be turned off. But man, I am glad he did. I remember it beeing such a hard game, so I had to really think before I did anything. I also didn't realize I had to level up in my main skills in order to level up. I choose a wizard, but proceeded with sword and shield. This made the game veeeery slow and hard. But I loved it.

Love the bane quote after you made a class

the very first thing you do after leaving the tutorial, is go straight to the arena wait until night, and then while crouching, move so you have the wired door frame blocking the guards view of you. pick the lock on the chest. its a hard lock, but if you know how the tumblers work, piece of cake. tada... 500 gold enjoy getting some essentails before trying anything else... thats about as far as i made it

One thing I always love to do is bring “mother’s head” to the Lucian Lachance dead body scene and then dropping it in right in front of the real traitor. I just love how he tries ignore it and acts like he doesn’t see it.

I actually never played Oblivion on highest difficulty, as I was a kid back then. Currently playing Skyrim on Legendary and it feels a bit more challenging than tutorial you had, but I will give it a go as well!

YO I THOUGHT YOU QUIT IM SO HAPPY YOUR BACK :)

Just slightly changing the difficulty to the right is enough to make mudcrabs a literal miniboss

Also, max-level difficulty applies to your summoned creatures and allies as well. I defeated a max-level Mankar Cameron using a flesh golem that I learned how to make in the Shivering Isles.

im pretty sure that guard at the very start of the first oblivion gate is scripted to die, ive seen him fall over dead even after i saved him from the imps at the start just decided to die

0:31 on planet Nirn. the planet that contains Tamriel is called Nirn.

I decided to try hard mode for my first playthrough in about five years and needless to say I quickly went back to normal

You're boy look like The Slim Jim from those 90s commercials.😄

I'm just approaching 100 hours in a recent let's play I've been doing and people in chat have told me to turn the difficulty down but my pride won't let me. Even at default difficulty, the level scaling at level 20+ is so mad

Mage's are surprisingly viable for max difficulty. If you power level it's also much easier. I have 75% shield with 25% elemental shields, so with a basic spell you ignore 85% of damage. Weakness to magicka ---> weakness to element ---> elemental damage puts the odds in your favour. But the sewers is quicksave after every kill.

Oblivion difficulty is not meant for the faint of heart 😂 that difficulty scale is wild

Try hardest difficulty + Deadly Reflex mod, or whatch how I do it with a couple mods that make it at least playable for me, which are the Uncapped Actor Values mod, and the Magicka Fortification mod, + a mod that makes it harder, because of course why not, the Primary Basic Needsa mod, making drunken combat a real experience. Deadly Reflex mod gives you timed parryings, stun attacks with shield and pommel, and bonus stun attacks with Acrobatics over 50 that replace rolls and backflips with flying and low kicks, and also elemmental damage criticals and finishers with both spells and enchanted weapons, and it makes the enemies tougher and able to use the mod's new moves just as much as you.

Alchemy was quite useful when playing like this. Poisons still dealt a bunch of damage.

@vik24oct1991

it is not that poisons deal more damage, they do the same damage just that the swords and bows do 6x less damage, while poison and magic do that same damage, the swords with enchantment are useless on the hardest difficulty, poison are good at lower level but their damage has cap , magic is the best where you can stack weaknesses and craft your own strong spells.

remember trying this when i was like 11 getting beat up by the first rats and be like ahaha okay no

I swear I can't count how many times cantina fucks up basic oblivion knowledge

First time I played Oblivion, I accidentaly hit Martin three times, then he tried to kill me, so I made him unconscious, and he hated me up until Paradise Quest. He talked to me with that soft and gentle voice and then grrrrr. It was great hahaha edit OMG! You can kill Lucien Lachance?????? I thought he was Essential!

RPG game role : victim

Picking a high elf was the worse decision with all the larpers in this game lol

I remember trying it for the first time playing, When I got to oblivion i literally just thought the game was broken and left it for weeks

I feel like you could maybe do it a little easier if you fight with a bow or use sneak attacks to get critical damage

I am playing a game right now on 50 difficulty. I tried 100 and died more in an hour than I have died in all my other games for the past year.

IIRC the scaling only gets worse the longer the game goes on, and thus by endgame the healthtank issues gets absurd on highest difficulty between the bonuses and maluses for player and enemy damage.

I used to play oblivion at 75-80% of the difficulty bar, it was very hard most of the time, in my recent playthrpughs I moved it down to 55-60%, didn't want to punish myself that much... I've always been curious: which percentage of the bar do people in KZread usually use to kill hard enemies like clannfears in 3-4 hits? 🤔

Kill Lucian LeChance??!!??!! I don’t know wether I’m impressed or pissed off. I never even thought about it.
