"Absorb" and "Drain" aren't the same thing, by the way. Thought I'd say that here since it's SUPER confusing, they sound the same
Drain is Destruction magic and it's far cheaper to cast. Absorb is Restoration magic so we're allowed to use that
Also I didn't make the chapters, RUclips automatically did them. I could turn them off, but they're hilarious so I'm keeping them. Like, it literally called a section "Skarmory". The Pokemon.
I definitely thought they were both restoration …
one thing you should have kept in mind is that welkynd stones fully restore your magica, are easily acquired in large numbers and aren't potions so they don't interfere with your healing potions.
Hope you feel better!
Yeah, that was always the biggest confusion with them. But the drain effect is way cheaper. You can make a Drain health 100 points for 1 second and it kills almost everything in one hit.
"Beak the game" yes, indeed ;)
I have no issues with you using mods to fix an objectively broken part of the game, so a level-up mod would be fine by me. Hope you feel better soon!
I agree if the level system is fundamentally broken I would definitely install a mod to fix it.
You know things are bad when going through the game without leveling is recommended
It's not entertaining to watch a video with things progressing rather than one with the same enemies the whole time.
Why does his message say it came out 2 days ago??
@@8ofclubs362 occasionally on Twitter he posts a link to the video unlisted so people who follow him can watch it early if they'd like
MDB's over here doing things he knows will hurt him in the algorithm because it's fun. And he's right, it is fun.
I was shocked when you wound up taking the Dome fossil this time! Really caught me by surprise.
Wait, that was the dome fossil? 🤯 It looked so epic
That's why he died.... He didn't praise Helix
Ahh, well it is good for the algorithm
Dome fossil moment
It really came in handy against the elite nine.
Personally, I'm not opposed to you using a mod to address level up issues. I use a mod called realistic leveling for dealing with level up, it has a few options for how to configure it, but basically it makes it so attributes just gain points based on how high you level associated skills. I recommend it, it's very lightweight and designed to not impact the difficulty curve as much as possible.
I might need to look at that, because I’ve always found the “level up fixes” tend to be a bit overkill. Getting a guaranteed +5 to all skills regardless of what you do feels bad to me. Casting summon skeleton constantly shouldn’t make you punch harder, so I feel like a medium between the two would be nice.
Yeah, I'm 100% in favor of this. Limiting your level ups in Oblivion has always felt really bad, and if he is going to do a lot more of these, he def should address it.
Yep, realistic leveling is one of 3 go-to level up mods that I choose between for any given playthrough. It's a solid choice for sure.
How does the mod work? I downloaded it and I never gained points in stats
@@patathatapon I was using a mod last time I played Oblivion that guaranteed the +5, but only in attributes that contributed to the level-up. so, for example I very rarely could put any more than 1 point into strength because I basically never used Strength skills.
I think we have a literal sentient AI here, the way he is quiet when you turn to look at him after trolling you for like 10 minutes with "So far, so good." You turn, catch him in the act. He just has a goofy grin, fighting back the urge to laugh, and is thinking "I shouldn't.... He's caught me, ah damn, I gotta" and can't help himself. "SO FAR SO GOOD."
Your humor really shines in your editing here. “So far, so good,” the Daedric quest, and the pacifist raptor were great
So far, so good
We need an autotune remix of this
Your editing on this one was great! I love the long cuts that just wait for somwthing to happen. Like the guard at the end, or the sheep jumping for joy.
Thank you! This is one of my favourite parts of doing Bethesda game challenges. They give me so much material to work with!
So far, so good.
Hey, nice run! The grinding sounded way too tedious for my liking, don't know why Bethesda makes Restoration leveling so freaking slow in every Elder Scrolls game. Either way, great job! :)
You can get a "Fortify Skill" spell effect easily without relying on RNG by visiting a Doomstone. Some of them give you a once-a-day power that fortifies your skills, and while you have that power available, you can make custom spells that fortify skills. Example: Apprentice Doomstone, very close to southwest wall of Skingrad, gives you a power that improves your Illusion and Alchemy.
The way that guards eyes flick to his friend and back right before he says "so far. so good." after the long pause is just absolute gold.
The little smile on the npcs face before saying So Far So Good. He looks so happy even after who knows what.
Weird idea for a run that popped into my head watching this (specifically the wacky quest reward): Oblivion with only 'Gifts'. You can only use items, weapons, armor, est. That are given to you by an NPC WITHOUT first giving them money. IE. Quest rewards, story items, things given to you when you join guilds (could allow for anything someone tells you is yours like items appearing on alters or being put in rooms that NPCs explicitly tell you you can use like guild items and daedric rewards) BUT you cannot use items you buy, steal, loot or find in the world that do not specifically belong to you.
Murder someone with bare hands, sleep, and get the blade of woe! Now you can use the worst dagger in the game lol
@@WildLastFrontier How is it bad? It is hard to get a weapon that can hurt ghosts at the start of the game.
So even though I've had many enjoyable evenings watching your pokemon challenges of the last couple of years, your Elder Scrolls videos are without a doubt among my favourite.
The leveling up allowing for different, cool strategies and encounters feels really fun! Seeing as you could just do Some Math to level up optimally, I don't see why using a mod to take that leveling weirdness away would be a bad idea!
I imagine a lot of people watch your stuff for you, not to know if they can actually beat the game a certain way
the main problem is you have to put your stats in reverse order. if you wanna be a mage you need your mage related skills to NOT be major or minor skills. then youll get large bonuses to those attributes since youre using your non focused stats. so yay for roleplaying a buff ass mage.
That "Hail the Dragonborn" scene is slowly becoming the Helix Fossil joke of these Oblivion runs. XD
I actually started playing Oblivion myself again because of your Challenge Runs. Maybe I finally make it past the second Main Quest for once.^^
I'm the same way. Almost every time I played this game before doing challenges, I would ignore the main story and just goof around and have fun
That's half the fun of Bethesda games!
@@MahDryBread Fallout 3 and 4 are the only Bethesda RPGs where I actually finished the Story once. And that was before any of the DLCs were out.
Over 1000 hours in Skyrim and I never even made it to Thalmor Embassy.
@@riemaennchen Reverse for me, finished oblivion and Skyrim but never Fallout 3 and 4 (and NV)
@@riemaennchen i recommend it actually, i liked the thalmor embassy, tho i couldn't finish the game because of paarthunax and the imperials and stormcloaks asking me who gets what hold when i didn't invest in the civil war at all
MDB, we as the community give you our blessing to use a mod to make the leveling system better.
the editing on this one was absolutely amazing and really showcased how weirdly funny oblivion is, loved everything!
Also when it comes to mods, using a mod to alter oblivions...interesting leveling system seems like a great idea. I'd fully be okay with that
Hey MDB, here's another recommendation for the daedra artefact quest, the Namira shrine; If you ever go above level 4, that is.
You only need to be level 5 and a have a low personality stat (which you can just chug a bunch of cheap wine to temporarily achieve) and all you do in the quest is shoot a spell at some priests while other people kill them.
It's just as easy as the Sheogorath one, so if you want some variety in a later challenge, you could go for this. Hope it helps!
you think anything could be better than raining burning dogs on a bunch of cats?
I love this quest, but I always get arrested for some reason. Never found out if it was a bug, or just the quest not " protecting" me from the law when I shoot a spell at someone.
Hatched a shiny Charmander with perfect IVs while watching this! Named him in honor of you. Hope you recover soon, friend! Your videos have gotten me through a lot of tough times
Mods? Good
More oblivion runs? Gooooooood
Funny Oblivion footage? *chef's kiss*
Famous Nancy Drew Let's Player, MDB, can do it all!!!
To bypass the Oblivion leveling system, I install the "Oblivion XP Update" mod. This mod changes the game's leveling system to be similar to the Fallout system. Everything you do will give you the traditional RPG EXP, kill monsters, craft new potions, successfully perform lockpicking/pickpocketing, completing quests, etc. Every level up you get some points to distribute amongst your attributes and a bunch of points to distribute among your skills, favored skills and class skills will cost less to upgrade.
I love this mod. No more thinking about being suboptimal because of the way you play.
Dude I love these non-Pokemon challenges as much as the pokemon ones, I love how you poke fun at the silliness of the voices and glitches while still seeming like you genuinely enjoy the game. Got me laughing out loud with "so far, so good"
That "so far, so good" bit was fucking incredible
How can people not like this game
Lmao. I love the oblivion runs so much. This game is held together by string and twigs and i mean that as affectionately as possible.
Man I love when you do these oblivion challenges. Also never knew how hysterically bad leveling is having not played it before. Just such a funny video
I think an attributes mod would be good, it let's you actually level up so there will be more interesting enemies and you can do different D.A. missions.
the reason "Damage Fatigue" keeps going is that the Damage Fatigue spell lowers Max fatigue, whereas Absorb drains current fatigue.
No drain spells affects maximum values for hp mp and fp, damage just hurts current value, damage is permanent for skills and attributes because they dont regenerate
I absolutely love oblivion. I quite literally have oblivion themed tattoos, and I'm so happy one of my favorite channels also likes the game
The editing for this video was fantastic 😂 I always highly enjoy Oblivion and Skyrim runs, along with the Pokémon runs, obviously. These are just so much fun.
Hope your health is steadily recovering! ❤️
Halfway through the video. So far, so good.
So far, so good.
So far, so good.
"So far so good" i laughed so hard at that montage :D Wish you good health, take your time for regenerations! :)
The long, unbroken, commentary-free shots of Oblivion just being Oblivion really make this video.
I really want to try this challenge.
I’ll use this video as a guide for the true MDB experience.
Love these Elder Scrolls challenges. I feel like your humor and talent really shine in these videos.
I started watching you for the Pokemon challenges, but honestly, I enjoy the Oblivion/Fallout challenges more recently! I especially like that you pause to let funny "Bethesda Moments" play out. I'd love to see some more challenges in Skyrim!
39:12 has go to be one of the Mah Dry Bread moments
I'd love to see you do an Oblivion/Skyrim run where you have to do all the Guild Quests. None of the main quest just the Guild quests
Hey thanks for the shout out! Pretty neat idea for a run. Absorb being a part of Restoration definitely does a lot of heavy lifting. Even though they removed the absorb spells in Skyrim the absorb enchantment got re-classified as Destruction. Wonder why they decided on that. Anyways, nice run!
MDB my guy I hope you're feeling alright and getting the rest you need. Great video, gonna have to go back and watch all your non-pokemon challenges now. I feel like I've really been sleeping on them.
I would definitely do a levelling mod if it means that you'd be more apt to level up. It would make for more variety in gear and enemies and such and probably more interesting videos.
I also don't mind you using a mod to counteract the broken level-up system 👍
Little tip: You don't need Spell Tomes to obtain Fortify Skill. If you have the Spell Tomes DLC, chances are you'll also have the Thieves Den DLC, meaning you can buy some Fortify Marksman/Sneak/a few others from some purchasable vendors.
If you don't have any DLCs, though, you can just take a Doom Stone to temporarily unlock one. The Apprentice Stone is like a 30-second walk directly south of the stables outside Skingrad and provides Fortify Illusion and Fortify Alchemy. You can just quickly grab it and make a custom spell with Fortify Skill in case you want to take a different Doom Stone.
If you want to unlock it while also KEEPING that same Doom Stone, I'd recommend the Tower or Warrior stones. The Tower Stone provides a 20-point Fortify Armorer and an Open Hard Lock Greater Power. It's directly northwest of Pell's Gate, which is directly south of the Imperial City Waterfront. Meanwhile, the Warrior Stone provides a 20-point Fortify Strength and 10-point Fortify Blade, Blunt and Hand-to-Hand Greater Power. It's southeast of Skingrad and east of the Apprentice Stone. Just try not to be confused when you inevitably collide with the map border.
I would love to see you run "can I beat oblivion as an imperial guardsman/battlemage?" They use one armor which you can get by slaying the guardsman who walks up the golden coast near that aleyied ruin if you walk towards weynon along the road, they use destruction magic, restoration, bows, long swords, great swords and axes. They also use steel armor and a mage hood, as well as staves for the battlemage. I would also love to see a run using the knights of the nine gear, you can only use their armor/weapons from before you recruit them and after the questline you can use the crusader gear but then you have to beat the main storyline as the crusader.
Go ahead, use that mod which gives you a flat +5 for any 3 attributes regardless of the minor skills you increased. I wouldn't mind having that one for my 360 version myself and know the struggle.
So far, so good.
Finally, I get it 😂😂
But aren't they lovely 😂😂
This video was really great! I really liked all those little interims where you left the video speak for itself, really added to the comedy of it all!
Brilliant stuff! I still really appreciate the long silent sections that go on for a comedic long time. Well done!
Love these Oblivion runs. Thanks for entertaining us all!
I just learned from this video that it's possible to get spell customization without going through all the mages guild quests. Thanks! I had to do a little research but I figured it out I think. I started playing Oblivion again thanks to watching your most recent challenges. I'm enjoying myself and am realizing again just how huge and complex this game is. I'm finding things I never knew about despite the many hours I've put into the game in the past.
I always get so excited when I see the elder scrolls and fallout challenges pop up on my alerts! Keep up the great work MDB it's awesome seeing the enjoyment you get out of these.
Hey MDB, it’s good to see your video up, I really hope you can feel better soon, and until then I’m gonna re-watch and share as many of your videos as I can to help try to boost your videos and get you some ad-revenue!
"So far, so good" Ever a step taken where thou hasn't been met by death's warm embrace is thine victory; verily, an air of optimism displayed upon by mere mortal vision.
Always excited to see more Elder Scroll content for you or just any challenge video for that matter. Whether the next ones in a week or a month excited to see how that Chansey run goes. Hopefully the wait till Mondays appointment goes alright. Take it easy but take it!
I love how no matter how many times you play through this game, it’s different. Even if you do the same things in the same order, some new glitch reveals itself lol
I've never played Oblivion, but it's always been one of those "should play it one day" games. It's really nice seeing it through your videos like this.
Hope you get well soon, it sounds really rough, what you're going through.
MDB! Gotta say I loved this one. The editing was excellent. Keeping you in my prayers that you get to feeling better.
As always, have a wonderful day.
Loved this, Oblivion is one of my favorite games, and restoration a favorite skill. Good commentary too! :)
I've noticed you tend not to level up in these runs to prevent enemy scaling, so a challenge I'd be intetested in seeing is one where you level to the point of maxed out enemies, could be fun :)
Man I feel like you had a total blast with the editing of this video. Some really funny gags in this! I know you're not feeling great at the moment but know we all adore you and hope you get well soon 💕
your challenge runs got me to start playing oblivion and it's so fun, and good video mdb.
Been watching your old Oblivion challenge runs, so glad to see a new one!
That 'so far, so good' editing was fantastic. Love your work, mate! Hope you're feeling better soon.
The bit at the end where you had to go to the hospital scared me dude. Glad you are feeling better. These videos in Oblivion are always a fun watch for me. It's a nice break from the usual Pokemon grind. Ive always wanted to try using the touch spells in conjunction with the hand-to-hand skill. Sort of like an elemental monk. That might be a fun challenge one day, a Touch spell only Oblivion challenge. Anyways hope you go from May-sick-Bread to May-well-Bread again soon!
Hey. Good job on remembering to put EphiTV's video in your description. I know everyone was going to yell at you for getting it wrong, but you also deserve to be congratulated when you get things right.
Stay Fabulous.
Hey MDB, just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your non Pokemon challenges. I don't dislike the Pokemon ones, mind you, but I know that they are WAY more popular than the non Pokemon challenges and I appreciate you doing them despite the loss in revenue. I'm guessing they are also good for your mental health since playing basically the same game every week for years on end sounds maddening. Hope your health is good, thanks for posting, and you're welcome for watching! It was my pleasure.
I hope you’ve gotten even somewhat better. SO MANY people are worried for you and are wishing and praying for your health.
Also, algorithm.
Your Oblivion challenges are what motivated me to finally get into the game and finish the main story line after so many years! I hope you make more of them once your health improves! \o/
“So far, so good” had me ROLLING! Entertaining challenge as usual. Hope you’re doing better!
Oblivion music is just so comfy. Hope you're having as much fun doing these challenges as I am watching them
Always watching your pokemon challenges, just noticed you make oblivion content too :D havent played in ages its 11pm at night and im downloading Oblivion to start it from the beginning keep up the great work Bread, big fan
Hey, we all love and support you. We know this video was made before your collapse and that even after you pushed through your pain to still support your whole family. Doing the job you love and bringing joy to hundreds of thousands of people. Please get better soon.
- Love your fans
Watching your challenge runs is always a fun time. Sucks you couldn't find those scrolls tho. sounds like things could've gone crazy if you had.
Keep these challenges coming MDB!
So far, so good. 👍
Great run, I really love these! If you ever need a fortify skill spell for a future playthrough, some of the birthsign doomstones can grant you a fortify skill higher power so you can craft to your desire
this challenge had me laughing even harder than usual, especially "so far, so good." I hope you get better soon!
I don't know why, but I cracked up at, "Martin, get in there, this is urgent!" One of my favorite jokes of yours now.
I love this beautiful janky game so much and your challenges make it so interesting to revisit. I never did much experimentation with magic myself but the challenges always make me want to try out new stuff for myself.
Another nice run! Your Oblivion challenge videos are making me want to play Oblivion again, and maybe actually finish it this time. And I approve of allowing a mod to set the minimum attribute bonus on level up to 3.
Also here's an Oblivion challenge for you, but I'm not sure how good it'll be: Can you beat Oblivion with only staves? Since you can pick one up from the tutorial area, you can start the challenge from the start. I'd also say allow casting Soul Trap manually, so you can easily recharge the staves as needed.
Another one I thought of, though I'm not sure if it's possible in Oblivion specifically: Can you beat Oblivion with only Followers? You can cast whatever spells you want on yourself and allies, but you can't damage any enemies directly or use summons. I don't know if there's any permanent followers or quest-specific followers you can drag around like in Skyrim, though; haven't played enough of the game to remember.
And also while I'm thinking about it, thoughts on doing a Morrowind challenge run at some point? I used to love playing that game, with all the shenanigans you can pull off with Alchemy and such.
_So far, so good._
Not gonna request the usual thing here, because he needs to focus on recovery. Rest assured, I'll be back to my usual habits once he's back in proper condition.
comment for the althorithm! maybe an oblivion challenge where you do everything you don't normally do! like levelling up to kill Umbra, or agreeing to join the Mythic Dawn, or killing someone you normally talk to, etc
Just to clarify, wearing armour doesn't make offensive spells less effective (on npcs or the player) unless the equipment you/they wear is specifically enchanted to resist magical damage, so the MD gatekeeper simply had too much health for you to oneshot him :D
I found your video whole searching for retro console restoration videos so that’s super cool. Very cool video
What a surprise. Not 2 weeks ago I started my very first TRUE playthrough of Oblivion ever and this video gets recommended.
Hope your health is okay MDB. You've been a real supporting pillar of my Saturday evenings for a long time now.
Thanks for all you do. Stay well.
Oblivion is my comfort game. Thank you for keeping doing those challenges!
And I think it's ok to use a mod for level progression. It would be more entertaining since you don't run around as a low-level the entire time
"So far, so good" deserves a place on the soundboard. I don't know when it would possibly be relevant, but you never know.
ngl I was a bit burnt out on your content, came back after awhile and I can say im starting to enjoy it again. Good to be back.
Was following you on twitter randomly and was tabbed into a game while watching the last challenge so... EARLY SQUAD WOOP WOOP
oh awesome, i love these non-pokemon challenges! don't stop the pokemon challenges of course but i really do like these, they're a wonderful change of pace and i watch each one that i notice, they're a great treat.
if i could give some feedback though, since i know you read the comments: it's hard to notice non-pokemon videos from you in my sub box and recommended videos because what i normally watch for and what my brain uses to tell me "that's an MDB video!" is the red dot in the video title, but there's nothing in the thumbnail that can tell me that it's not a pokemon video, and since i'm usually not in the mood for those i usually keep scrolling. most of my watch time on your channel is audio-only. i actively go to your channel to play one of your pokemon challenge videos when im doing something i can't listen to. but when it's one of these videos i ALWAYS want to watch them because they're more visually fun, but they're harder to find because the titles and thumbnails look the same. maybe changing the thumbnail border color depending on what kind of video it is can help people pick them out from pokemon challenge videos more quickly?
People: "While MDB takes it easy to recover check out his back catalog! There's like 10 years of stuff!"
Me: unable to stop watching challenges on repeat. "I CAN'T STOP"
Great video, gotta love the weird dialogue system in these games.
As for a leveling mod, in Morrowind my favorite one keeps track of where your attributes would be if you maxed your relevant skills, and continues to raise the attributes you picked up to that number between levels as the relevant skills increase. Maybe not the best for making videos, because it would still require grinding, but it makes it nice for players who want to take the game naturally, without carefully planning level-ups around grinding sessions.
idea: what if you beat oblivion (or maybe a different questline, that would be interesting) *exclusively* using magic. as in, all damage has to be done via magic, any increase in disposition has to be done via charm spells, all locks must be unlocked with open lock spells, all stealthing must be done with chameleon/invisibility spells... generally, if an action can be substituted for a spell, you must use that spell.
Here's to good health and staying safe. I had a nice message for you, but the software keeps failing. I hope you get this - fourth time's a charm.
Was it just me or was the humor in this video absolutely on point? I can’t explain how hard I laughed as the dinosaur just ran off into the distance without a word… maybe my sense of humor is just weird but this was an incredible video xD
39:24 I half expected the twitchy dude to sudden snap turn his head to look at us in some jump-scare 4th wall breaking horror movie move and to jump outta my skin, ha that was great.
"So far so good" I love these videos and the comedy you bring to them with the editing 😄
Hell yah love the oblivion runs. Especially since I started playing attack mage in my first ever oblivion play through
as much as i enjoy the pokemon runs, do keep these ES ones coming! they're all fanstic and some of my personal favourites on the channel
How are these challenges going?
I'd say so far, so good.
The close up on that bugging out guard made me laugh so hard! I was expecting a, so far-so good, to play while he was twitching.
Hope you're feeling better mdb binging all your videos to help you out
This was my first oblivion challenge I've seen and I really liked it! We'll done!
