    You kidnapped the Heart of Lorkan using a Guild Mage that you pulled from across Vvardenfell and destroyed the Heart with a Merchant wielding the tools of gods. And yet the fact that Chipmonk looks like a normal human using the Oblivion character creator is easily the most impressive thing you have shown us.

    For the summoning of the undead via conjuration as opposed to necromancy.
    Both use powers from the realm of oblivion but with conjuraiton spells, you haven't cast the soul of a man/mer/etc into the soul cairn or oblivion just so you can reanimate it or use it, which on the other hand, necromancers do.
    So it's sorta like buying meat from a supermarket as opposed to hunting it yourself, at least in my understanding.

    So useful tip for the Ring of Burden quest: You can use the "drag" button(idk what it is on PC) to drag the corpse, or the ring itself if you're willing to spot its tiny size in the well, to the entrance outside your inventory
    Pick it up, room transition, drop and drag it to the Guild, repeat till you are in position to drop it off for quest completion

    19:27 It's exactly how you describe. Illusion works the same as Alternation, by altering the world to your will, but the "truth" is visible only by the caster and the target. You basically convince the target or nearby people that something is different that is in reality, for example you make a target think they cannot move, they cannot speak (Silence), they hear voices (Sound) or you are harder to hit (Sanctuary). Alternation physically change things recognized by anyone and is bound by laws of nature, like making things heavier is heavier for everyone. Paralysis in Skyrim being Alternation physically renders target unable to move, while being Illusion makes the target think they cannot move.

    I remember how I dealt with the ring of burden. I grabbed it, turned around, dropped it, then moved further towards the exit, grabbed it at max distance, turned around towards the exit, dropped, and repeat until I was done.

    Awesome video as always but I nearly spat my Pepsi out when Raminus was on the ledge and you said "Hmmm not sure how I feel about this angle." as it zooms in and you're waste high with him. haha

    >Can a Monk become Archmage?
    What is casting fist? A fist with the force of a super nova turning into a blackhole which instantly collapsing on itself.
    They're called Alpha and Omega for a reason! Monks who reach that state are beyond giga chad gods. Their hands become creators and destroyers, the gods themselves have blessed said person. They can grab matter and manipulated in anyway they wish, thus nuclear bomb punches.

    I did a run in Oblivion where I played a Redguard and wore the Ring of Burden throughout the game. My end goal was to do the Knights of the Nine quest to get the boots of Stendarr. Used a Warhammer because Stendarr's Hammer isnt in Oblivion.

    Monks in D&D CAN know some healing. The Way of Mercy teaches monks how to assist those in need by giving them very limited means of healing. Nowhere near as good as a cleric, but healing is healing. Mercy Monks can also heal themselves, but it's better used on your allies that struggle to avoid attacks, unlike you. They can also be ninjas or chronic alcoholics!
