  • In today's video, I wanted to experiment with another challenge playthrough in the elder scrolls IV: Oblivion. For this one, I wanted to see if Caius Cosades, the Imperial, Blades, Grand Spymaster of Vvardenfell, can become the grand champion of Cyrodiil's arena! The last we heard from Caius, he was recalled back to the Imperial City during the events of Morrowind, and the Nerevarine never saw him again. Well, it turns out after dealing with his affairs for the Empire, he tried for a new cover story and enlisted in the Arena! Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe!

      @cameronhood9162 I think it went well! it definitely wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, and I'm actually pretty satisfied with a lot of my answers. There were a couple of points I think I could have expanded on a bit better, but that stuff is bound to happen, so I'm trying not to overthink it.
      Unfortunately, I have to wait until around the beginning of April to find out if I get it, so I just have to keep myself busy and hope for the best for now!

    Since we don't know what happened to Caius. My belief is he went with Nerevar to Akavir. Since the blades are tied to the Akavir and Caius is/was part of the Blades in a high rank. Would help explain a bit too why the Nerevar randomly went to Akavir. Caius knew the Empire was in for some troubled times. One of the Emperors never came back from Akavir. Maybe Caius had a plan and since he was close with the Nerevar, convinced him to go on a mission to Akavir.

    Love your videos! I have been enjoying Oblivion again. This time, however, I'm not playing to save the world. I'm just a tourist/adventurer. I reas all the tour guide books ans then visit the city like "Guide to Chorrol". It's so fun just playing as an adventurer and passing through a city. Talking to vendors and hearing rumors. Everything. It's very fun. Your videos are great to pass time at night.

    You should just be able to use console commands to set level, health/majicka/fatigue, attributes, and skills to whatever values you like. I know you can in Morrowind, and I assume you can in Oblivion. Unless you were asking how to handle merging the different skill systems between Oblivion and Morrowind; to which I'd say 'Just use the highest relevant value.' If axe is 50 and blunt is thirty in Morrowind, just make blunt 50 in Oblivion.
    For this one, I probably would've checked what 70 unarmored would've done to his armor value in Morrowind, then set his light armor skill to the level that would make the value the same when wearing the light raiment. But then again, you're not allowed to fight without armor like Caius prefers anyway, so him having to make due with his light armor skill makes sense.

    I remember trying something like this. When I was 1st playing Daggerfall, I wanted to try out the custom class creation, but didn't have any ideas. So I built Jauffre to the best of my ability, imagining him being a retired Blade, but truly responsible for the Warp in the West. Not everything is a 1 to 1, but it was a fun experiment. Learned a lot about certain skills as they grew, and got pretty far in a few guilds.

    The bottom line is that some of those arena matches are pretty hard while others are pretty easy. In general the archers en mages are the weaker ones and the more warrior kinds are hard. I remember that khajit with light armor was also pretty hard at low level because it is very hard to outrun him since he is pretty fast. There is a way to easily win any match and thats by jumping on the spikes and fire arrows at your opponents but its kind of cheating, although bringing a milion health potions with you also doesnt really seem like a fair fight as well. Anyway good memories with those arena matches. 😅
