This video was delayed by a few days since RUclips wouldn't process it. I had to upload it three times. Hope you enjoy and the horror mods will be continuing into November because of this 🎃
Hey Miky D, glad to see your back to checking out horror mods. I left a couple suggestions for you last year, but I figured I mention the main one again here. You should look into *The Oubliette* a mod that may be found over on the *TES Alliance* web site. It's a halloween themed mod that was made as a collaboration between a bunch of different modders. Its really great, loads of content of varying quality, and I think it would be really up your alley. Also sorry for grafting onto your pinned comment.
The Skull Puzzle was challenging but I figured out how to do it on my run thru of the game. Each Rib is supposed to go into a specific coffin and stay there (Skull Shows Up). But if you put all the ribs in the coffin it reads it like the right rib is the coffin, since it is, but script never removes the skull if the rib is removed. Best way to do this is to take one rib and systemically place it in a coffin till the skull appears and then you leave there and go to the next rib, skipping over the coffin with the skull on it.
I wonder if that visual mod was supposed to affect that Minotaur. Being named “the seer” and just being a headless mino with a pair of floating eyes seemed so fitting I didn’t question it!
My interpretation of the end scene: It still takes place in The Void, but after leaving the house having slain the lich dude you have finally followed him down the path he took to get to his ascension. He's achieved what Vivec would call Amaranth. He's detached himself from the world of Nirn/Mundus and made his own realm. His own little heaven, a peaceful reward for his life's work. A place where a skeleton can just lay back and enjoy the sun without anything complicated going on. A place where he's more the world itself than his body, and thus why the tree is what speaks to you. The Tree is called Rebirth after all.
really great mod in terms of gamedesign and atmosphere. Good to know that oblivion still has such talented and devoted mod community. Caretaker reference was completely unexpected
1:31 You nailed it with that feeling you get in Oblivion how it feels "off". I never really thought about it until you brought it up, but it makes so much sense. I remember back to being immersed playing it and it gave me some weird vibes.
Many games from the late 2000s in general give off that feeling, likely due to a sort of graphical uncanny valley where environments are designed to be realistic and immersive 3D worldspaces, but less sophisticated hardware made it so that textures had to be downscaled and world clutter cut down upon in order to make the game performance-friendly on most devices.
Yeah I remember getting that feeling on day one of me playing back in like 2009. I just walked round the corner on the tutorial dungeon-and that zombie made me jump out of my skin. Tbf I was eight but yeah
I'm fairly certain a few of those last spooky things were in reference to dementia and other similar conditions. The story about the wizard who had the fog over him sounds really similar to the degeneration of the mind and moments of lucidity that come with those disorders, and the line "it's just a burning memory" at the end is word for word the title of the opening track to The Caretaker's Everywhere at the End of Time, which is an entire concept album about dementia.
Oblivion doesn’t need a horror mod that game freaked me the hell out when I was younger I remember what it was like coming up on kvatch and watching the sky turn red it took me forever to convince myself to run inside the gate.
The funny thing is that the glitched (?) zombies with only hands and heads visible in the forest are legit more creepy than "The Wolf". I believe it is due to their twitchy movement, which is also a thing in games like Cry of Fear or Afraid of Monsters (HL1 horror mods, high quality ones). This jittery movement freaks people out, me included.
I heartily recommend the "Dungeons of Ivellon" mod. It´s a pretty old one, but certainly one of the best designed ones and at times legitimately scary.
What works for this mod is that the creator grasped tension. All those times you thought 'somethings going to happen, something's going to jump out' and it didn't just wound up the tension. There were very few moments of 'relief' where the tension is gone by a monster attack or a scare.
Exactly! And so many creators, be it games, movies, or whatever, don't understand that and just throw jumpscares at you. But if they're spaced out, kept apart, you expect the spook to happen, but there is none, you stay with that tension.
Props for reading the books aloud for us-it’s so cool to see the amount of work that went into not just the atmospheric design but also the writing for this mod.
The ending reminded me of a mod I've installed way back when, think in 2008, give or take. It was an anvil-style house set on its own little island away from the city, but still in the worldspace meaning you could see the city and such. It had friendly mudcrabs and I think to remember that it even had lemon or orange juice as an item strewn about the house. It was such a nice and serene place to be, I loved it so much. Can't find it anymore though, probably lost to time by now. Wow I actually found it lol, but it's German. It's on Planetoblivion called Mein Strandhaus (My Breachhouse translated), released in 2007. Might try and make a translation.
It was a beautiful mod and a very good use of Oblivion assets. If you want more Micky there's another great horror mod for Oblivion that came out not long ago if I'm not mistaken it's called "Shroud Over Stalrous Manor" and it looks great.
Hey MickeyD! Regarding your question: "Can something in Oblivion jumpscare you?" definitely yes! Do you remember the Letter of Recommendation quest for the Mages Guild in Leyawiin? There is this really scary looking mage by the name of Kalthar. In addition to his weird looks, he has strange behavior and lives in the basement of the Leyawiin Mages Guild. In any case, in the quest you have to retrieve an artifact and you have to go to Fort Blueblood and at the end of the dungeon you will find a coffin containing said relic. And for me, when I played this quest for the first time after I collected the object, suddenly this Kalthar was behind me and faced me. That aspect and his facial expression scared me so much that I actually cried out xD. I had to take a short break before I could continue. Well, I get scared easily and the atmosphere in Oblivion Dungeons is always pretty dark anyway (music too). Also, I was 16 then, I'm 20 now, but I still remember it when I play this quest. At least that was my experience with Oblivion Jumpscare.
The horror design is perfect: things are uncanny rather than jump scary. Stuff like off looking but almost normal models and sounds, and surreal imagery
If you're in the mood for more spooky stuff. You should try this game: "Vampire the masquarade: bloodlines". Its a very good action rpg from 2004 and there's an unofficial patch that was just updated last week that will run the game in 1080p 60fps
I am always blown away by how far your channel has blown up every time I pay attention to the sub count. It's well deserved laddy. Another banger as always.
People put too much emphasis on Subscribers and how many others have got. With huge subs comes corporate involvement and money which makes channels go rubbish and commercialised. Hopefully Micky won’t go down this road and start featuring sponsors and have his episodes scripted by a production company. Quality over quantity
Amazing that people are still coming up with such awesome fresh content despite how old this game is (well same could be said with Morrowind and Daggerfall's modding communities too, and those games are even older, but still glad to see it). As someone who's made mods for Oblivion, etc, in the past, I really can appreciate the time and effort put into making this, and can't fathom how long it took them. Agreed about the writing and the creative use of the vanilla assets. Certainly will give this a proper playthrough at some point once I come back to Oblivion. And thank you for delving into a lot of these hidden gems mods and getting them into the spotlight. Your sense of humor helps put me in a better mood too.
Unexpectedly high quality mod! At the end I thought you would have to put Hellirs heart inside the strange container/statue near the bed, but I guess I was thinking too complicated lol
You're close! Remember Morte's bones that Mickey picked up back in the Dark Forest? Well, close to the Chapel is Morte's house, hidden down by some rocks. Give his bones to him, and he'll give you an Essence of Empathy, which you can place in that little body container by Hellir's bed. Doing that helps with the Hellir battle.
The ribcages didn't stack so they're all probably a unique ID, so each ribcage was probably supposed to match with a specific coffin but the mod creator didn't make them obviously different nor did they have a failsafe if the player just kinda stuck all of them in one coffin causing the skull to appear but not making it obvious which ribcage stays in the coffin.
"Are you the mind dome, can I click you? Nope." Very next thing he sees is a skull, and it doesn't click. He just ignores it. Haven't even gotten past that part yet and I guarantee that's what it is. I love this channel.
I was hesitant to try this out cuz I already have ~220 plugins. Didn't wanna screw up my load order. But I'm sold, this looks fantastic! I guess this is the standard we should expect after over a decade of oblivion modding.
Oblivion was not only my first TES game, but first PC game I'd properly played. So, I 100% agree wigh you that it is stunning, I was beyound amazed with the visuals and music combo. And even now going back to it, the experience is great, even if largely thanks to the nostalgia
38:34 Not Oblivion, but an Arx Fatalis (cool ass old Arkane immersive sim) RUclipsr made a backrooms mod for Arx, and I think he's still working on it. It's pretty interesting! You playing Arx would be really cool to see too
"7.8/10 too many bones" - IGN No, but seriously, this is probably one of the greatest mods, let alone horror mods, I've ever seen! So much detail, great story, and all at feature length. Must've taken forever to edit! You added so many great jokes all the way through. I'm gonna have to watch this again so that I can catch even more details.
I actually played Oblivion for a few weeks while I still had a PS3. I actually prefer the combat and exploration over any of the newer Elder Scrolls games. And I do think playing on easier or medium is the only way to play Oblivion, the game gets way too massive and way too involved to really play on anything higher. I literally got chills when you were reading the couples note, great video as always Mickey D. Happy Halloween.
So im a bit late to the party yet i just finished the mod and had a closer look at the guy clapping in the woods cathedral, who is without a doubt eerily reminiscent of mickey's portrait.. I came back hoping someone might have noticed and confirmed this burning memory.. Thanks for bringing attention to these diamonds in the rough, All manner of content creator's labors deserve to be appreciated. Far to often passion projects sink or are doomed to swim without ever seeing the shallows, its always best that some remnants remain in our minds and have a chance to make it to our hearts.
so, I know I'm 7 months late here but I have played this, did you notice how the ribs don't stack? That means they have different item IDs, you kinda screwed yourself by picking up all 4 at once because it's 1 set of ribs per coffin but because you picked them all up and they are named the same and items with the same name can get shuffled in terms of sorting order whenever you open your inventory, the correct order was going to be difficult for you to achieve also while there is a script to make the skull appear when the correct set of ribs is placed in the coffin, there isn't a script to make it disappear again when the correct set is removed meaning that while the skullw as there, when you took the ribs back out of the coffins they sorta deactivated, thereby making you unable to progress.
I easily put in close to 1k hours back in the day in Oblivion. Is honestly my favorite game of all time. On my playthrough I made it my mission to collect every single book in the game. I then brought the adoring fan down to my basement in my skingrad house and buried him in every single book in the game. I would also make potions and drop them in the books. The collection took up 1/3 of the basement and went to the ceiling lol. I would get like 3 frames down there. The adoring fan would all the sudden scream "by azura by azura by azura! Its the grand champion!" lol I couldn't even see him it just came from the massive pile of books and potions. Good times.
When Oblivion came out back in 2006, the game looked phenomenal on PC, an 8800 Ultra or two, and my god, that was the pinnacle of graphics aside from Crysis which came out in 2007
Fallout New Vegas has this really terrifying map you could play. It was like an abandoned fun house fiends had taken over and turned into their own place of horrors. Not sure if it exists still but it was still really good.
Fun fact about The Wolf: the red glow comes from his torch, and if you pick it up after killing him, you can have the red glow too! It's a unique torch, sorted separately from your standard ones.
I normally do not like downloading mods that aren't vanilla-ish or bug fixers, but this looks absolutely stunning. I remember a debate a long time ago in college about if videogames are art or not. I believed then that they are, and I still do. This mod is a really good example of good art. And yeah, that wizard thing was really unnerving. For me it was like, being aware and unaware of losing your mind. Personally, that is one of my greatest fears.
seeing this series again makes me want to clean up my modlist and replay VIGILANT ngl, the second chapter and some dungeons in the final chapter are wonderfully scary imo
My brother once hypnotised a crab to attack me irl by putting his finger between it's eyes or something, it's a long and forgettable story but yes there are some crabs who will absolutely gun for you
I have a suggestion for future content regarding difficulty slider. You see, it is has some bizzare scale, like x6/x0.15 damage when slided to either end. It may make sense not to push it all the way, but instead to x2-x3 player versus enemy damage, so that difficulty of different encounters can still be compared on a video. Mod authors did some balancing and its cool to have an idea what they ended up with.
"I named him Suriel Beptim, because I think that is really funny." Well, either the Anti-Depressants are finally working again, or I sure do too! edit: And yes, Micky, there are crabs that will go for you. Coconut Crabs are Donkey-Hats
There's this one Skyrim mod I played once or twice (Special edition I believe) which isn't nessecarily a horror mod but it has some of the most unsettling areas i've ever seen in a mod and one (side) quest which is truly, awfuly spooky. The mod is called Beyond Reach. It would also be nice for a non-horror playthrough.
The ole Mick pulled a SpiffingBrit and named his character like Reanu Keeves. Suriel Beptim may not be as strong, but by The Nine will he survive this horror.
Dear Micky D. Greetings from Cork. Thank You for Your content. It'll help me get through covid much smoother while watching Your videos! Stay safe and healthy, Brother! 😁
I had a feeling the minute you read that book that the mother killed the child. I’ve heard of true crime cases where mothers have killed their child in similar ways. It’s horrific. Bringing the kid medical help is usually for the mother to have attention. I think there’s an actual name for people who show this kind of behaviour. It’s called Munchausen By Proxy.
A lot of the lighting in this mod puts me in mind of some of the great Italian horror directors, like Bava and Argento. So vivid yet it accentuates the mood perfectly imo
What you said about mental health struck home and was both thoughtful and well said. I enjoy your videos as the fun entertainment that you intended, but hearing deep, philosophical thoughts in your videos is also pretty fucking cool. Keep up the good work, you’re crushing it!!
Love this video. Rewatch from time to time. It was uploaded on probably the most stressful time of my life. Watching it then made me smile for the first time in ages. It's probably my favourite youtube video cause of that. Still watching a year later😅
Glad someone did something with this location. It's so out of place and creepy. 1:20:22 Really hope the mod author writes some actual short stories or something. That was powerful shit.
god i just finished, what an amazing mod from an amazing streamer. i honestly havent played oblivion in many, many years, but i was always so into it, and kept up with you and your shenanigans. this mod genuinely makes me want to get back into oblivion and morrowind for the awesome, soul-filled mods. much love micky
I always modded Oblivion with the ton of graphic mods for so long till I realized that I should play the game it's meant to be from the original game. The vanilla looks so awesome for it's year
That book about the wizard seems like the process of someone becoming a lich, half way through I realized its prob about someone close with Alzheimer's or similar in author's life.
This video was delayed by a few days since RUclips wouldn't process it. I had to upload it three times. Hope you enjoy and the horror mods will be continuing into November because of this 🎃

I could watch horror content by Micky D all year round so I'm not complaining.
Hey Miky D, glad to see your back to checking out horror mods. I left a couple suggestions for you last year, but I figured I mention the main one again here.

would match up with the broken glitchy world sepecially after the fog book
Yep, I got big dementia vibes from that.
I rewatched it after you mentioned it sounds like dementia and it hits differently now!
The way its written, makes me wonder if the mod author had experience with a relative with dementia. It's written in a very tragic style.

I actually played Oblivion for a few weeks while I still had a PS3. I actually prefer the combat and exploration over any of the newer Elder Scrolls games. And I do think playing on easier or medium is the only way to play Oblivion, the game gets way too massive and way too involved to really play on anything higher. I literally got chills when you were reading the couples note, great video as always Mickey D. Happy Halloween.
So im a bit late to the party yet i just finished the mod and had a closer look at the guy clapping in the woods cathedral, who is without a doubt eerily reminiscent of mickey's portrait.. I came back hoping someone might have noticed and confirmed this burning memory..
Thanks for bringing attention to these diamonds in the rough, All manner of content creator's labors deserve to be appreciated. Far to often passion projects sink or are doomed to swim without ever seeing the shallows, its always best that some remnants remain in our minds and have a chance to make it to our hearts.
I was literally browsing through the Oblivion Nexus right now and then this popped up, *glooorious*
so, I know I'm 7 months late here but I have played this, did you notice how the ribs don't stack? That means they have different item IDs, you kinda screwed yourself by picking up all 4 at once because it's 1 set of ribs per coffin but because you picked them all up and they are named the same and items with the same name can get shuffled in terms of sorting order whenever you open your inventory, the correct order was going to be difficult for you to achieve
also while there is a script to make the skull appear when the correct set of ribs is placed in the coffin, there isn't a script to make it disappear again when the correct set is removed meaning that while the skullw as there, when you took the ribs back out of the coffins they sorta deactivated, thereby making you unable to progress.
Yeah. It was infuriating watching him do the puzzle.
I easily put in close to 1k hours back in the day in Oblivion. Is honestly my favorite game of all time. On my playthrough I made it my mission to collect every single book in the game. I then brought the adoring fan down to my basement in my skingrad house and buried him in every single book in the game. I would also make potions and drop them in the books. The collection took up 1/3 of the basement and went to the ceiling lol. I would get like 3 frames down there. The adoring fan would all the sudden scream "by azura by azura by azura! Its the grand champion!" lol I couldn't even see him it just came from the massive pile of books and potions. Good times.
Hi Micky, happy to see you pop up!!

"No stairway.

~DENIED~"
When Oblivion came out back in 2006, the game looked phenomenal on PC, an 8800 Ultra or two, and my god, that was the pinnacle of graphics aside from Crysis which came out in 2007
Fallout New Vegas has this really terrifying map you could play. It was like an abandoned fun house fiends had taken over and turned into their own place of horrors. Not sure if it exists still but it was still really good.
A new mickyD upload?, feels like Christmas!
Fun fact about The Wolf: the red glow comes from his torch, and if you pick it up after killing him, you can have the red glow too! It's a unique torch, sorted separately from your standard ones.
I normally do not like downloading mods that aren't vanilla-ish or bug fixers, but this looks absolutely stunning. I remember a debate a long time ago in college about if videogames are art or not. I believed then that they are, and I still do. This mod is a really good example of good art.
And yeah, that wizard thing was really unnerving. For me it was like, being aware and unaware of losing your mind. Personally, that is one of my greatest fears.
seeing this series again makes me want to clean up my modlist and replay VIGILANT ngl, the second chapter and some dungeons in the final chapter are wonderfully scary imo
My brother once hypnotised a crab to attack me irl by putting his finger between it's eyes or something, it's a long and forgettable story but yes there are some crabs who will absolutely gun for you
My favourite parasocial relationship, here to swipe all my troubles away
I have a suggestion for future content regarding difficulty slider. You see, it is has some bizzare scale, like x6/x0.15 damage when slided to either end. It may make sense not to push it all the way, but instead to x2-x3 player versus enemy damage, so that difficulty of different encounters can still be compared on a video. Mod authors did some balancing and its cool to have an idea what they ended up with.
"I named him Suriel Beptim, because I think that is really funny."
Well, either the Anti-Depressants are finally working again, or I sure do too!
edit: And yes, Micky, there are crabs that will go for you. Coconut Crabs are Donkey-Hats
There's this one Skyrim mod I played once or twice (Special edition I believe) which isn't nessecarily a horror mod but it has some of the most unsettling areas i've ever seen in a mod and one (side) quest which is truly, awfuly spooky. The mod is called Beyond Reach. It would also be nice for a non-horror playthrough.
The ole Mick pulled a SpiffingBrit and named his character like Reanu Keeves. Suriel Beptim may not be as strong, but by The Nine will he survive this horror.
Of course he will, he has the power of the Bepsi.
I thought the Irish and British didn't get along. Like Irish and Scottish. Or Irish and Welsh. Or Irish and other Irish.
@@rustyjones7908 The Irish get along with no one.
@@rustyjones7908 think of it as like an immediate minus reputation but they can be friends
micky d providing us with amazing spooky content during the halloween season
A feature length video of Micky D action? YAAAS MAN
I can't believe how great the writing is. It's something you so rarely see in mods.
Dear Micky D. Greetings from Cork. Thank You for Your content. It'll help me get through covid much smoother while watching Your videos!
Stay safe and healthy, Brother! 😁
First vid I’ve shared in a while just because I’ve been following the troubles with this vid on twitter
"Don't go chasing waterfalls.." fecking worth it Micky. Worth every second for that joke.
This is a very beautiful horror mod, loved the use of lighting by the mod creator- and also your play through!
I had a feeling the minute you read that book that the mother killed the child. I’ve heard of true crime cases where mothers have killed their child in similar ways. It’s horrific. Bringing the kid medical help is usually for the mother to have attention. I think there’s an actual name for people who show this kind of behaviour. It’s called Munchausen By Proxy.
What good have I done in this world to have earned the pleasure of a Michward Dickens video today?
Yepp I played this mod. Didn't unnerve me until I read the experiment log...geez that one is a doozy.
A lot of the lighting in this mod puts me in mind of some of the great Italian horror directors, like Bava and Argento. So vivid yet it accentuates the mood perfectly imo
I'm glad you mentioned getting Elden Ring vibes, because I was feeling that too but couldn't quite place it.
What you said about mental health struck home and was both thoughtful and well said. I enjoy your videos as the fun entertainment that you intended, but hearing deep, philosophical thoughts in your videos is also pretty fucking cool. Keep up the good work, you’re crushing it!!
Oblivion is already a horror game. You get jumpscared every time you begin dialog with an NPC
I’m just gonna leave this here...
*adoring fan*
Nothing I'd like to talk about
When you were looking at a skull and saying I need a mind dome I was like huh
Love this video. Rewatch from time to time. It was uploaded on probably the most stressful time of my life. Watching it then made me smile for the first time in ages. It's probably my favourite youtube video cause of that. Still watching a year later😅
babe, wake up!!! Micky D just dropped a new spooky vid!!!
Alway's happy to see the irish lad popping up in my subscribtion feed! And an hour and a half long video! I say yes to that!
Glad someone did something with this location. It's so out of place and creepy.
1:20:22 Really hope the mod author writes some actual short stories or something. That was powerful shit.
Thank you for showcasing this. Love the let's play type longer form content.
I like listen to your videos while gaming
if any game deserves a remaster/remake it's oblivion
Honestly I think the graphics in oblivion are amazing. Yes they're outdated but they give an enchanted, medieval vibe thats sort of lost in Skyrim.
Micky representing with the Huey Lewis again. Pure class
Super chill playthrough with the music on.
Chat, get you a man that can effectively articulate concepts such as oblivion being a good vessel for horror due to the uncanny nature of the game.
god i just finished, what an amazing mod from an amazing streamer. i honestly havent played oblivion in many, many years, but i was always so into it, and kept up with you and your shenanigans. this mod genuinely makes me want to get back into oblivion and morrowind for the awesome, soul-filled mods. much love micky
I always modded Oblivion with the ton of graphic mods for so long till I realized that I should play the game it's meant to be from the original game. The vanilla looks so awesome for it's year
This mod proper creeped me out, the atmosphere really help build the dread and overall feeling of uneasiness 7/10 too many bone coffins
That book about the wizard seems like the process of someone becoming a lich, half way through I realized its prob about someone close with Alzheimer's or similar in author's life.
this reminds me of vicn's mods, very creative use of vanilla stuff to make new horror things. tes is a good medium for this type of ambient horror
Needs more Adoring Fan to be a Vicn mod...
