The fact that you managed to create a character that looks like just a normal dude not just for PC (player character) standards, but more normal than most Oblivion NPC's is deeply unsettling.

The fact that Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC reintroduces undead-summoning spells in the Soul Cairn implies that the undead are being summoned from the Soul Cairn or other places in Oblivion that have undead running around, rather than being Daedra.

12:10 monks in DnD were originally introduced as a way of fulfilling the fantasy of Chinese martial arts movies in the game, letting you defeat enemies with your bare hands like Bruce Lee. Lots of games borrow the concept (like with the rest of DnD) and I think today people confuse the term “monk” with their preconception of a medieval Gregorian scribe, or instead of the eastern Xiao Lin monks that originally inspired the class.
I realized this sometime well after I originally played Oblivion and once I eventually came back to the class select screen, I was very amused by the art of Friar Heinrich putting dukes up lol

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.
@@Bloodlyshiva In ancient Tamreilic history, back when the elves (The Aelids) ruled Cyrodel and humans were slaves, the area of Cyrodel was a jungle.

@@maxherman3884 I believe the official explanation is that Tiber Septim did it, transforming Cyrodiil into a land better suited for being the heart of his Empire. The man was mantling Lorkhan and had control of the Numidium, so terraforming an entire region isn't out of the question.
@@Mr-Trox This is correct. Septim, upon his ascent to godhood as Talos, rewrote Cyrodil's climate/topography. To boot, he did so in such a manner that not only did it change, but to most it seemed as if it had always been that way. Dragonbreak shenanigans.
I was saddened that light armor wasn't allowed since I never see the Bands of Kwang Lao get used. Also, even if you couldn't use the bands, you could've stood by the two people training at the arena to get an extra 5 points in h2h. Keep up the great work, I love the videos!
Apparently Bethesda doesn't keep design documents, so the most accurate theory is that they don't understand their own lore hence why mannimarco returned.
If I do recall, there actually is a spell you get from an unmarked quest to also temporarily resurrect people in Shivering Isles. It’s how you get more than one Necromancer’s Amulet
must've fallen out of fashion in the six years between morrowind and oblivion. or maybe they'd fallen out of fashion in cyrodiil for the longest time but the people of vvardenfell, as one would expect from a people with _taste,_ have taken it upon themselves to keep fur helms in the colovian style alive and chic ... also while double-checking that timespan i realized that the first four games all take place within a time period of _34 years,_ and i'm not sure if i'll ever fully recover from this revelation
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.

Looking forward to your 1M subscriber special 😀
I absolutely love this video man! It's probably your best in terms of comedic timing and it's fun to see an Oblivion run. I hope you make some more Oblivion videos!
FYI, I really enjoy your Oblivion content! I know this game's been played to death online, but watching you play is a whole other level of interesting.

I ran monk in Oblivion. Vampirism too. There's no reason hand to hand is as good as it is. I can't believe it's better in Morrowind. I bent the whole game with these hands, and it was a great time. Hurts your repair a little bit, but you're a monk.
From what I can read from the wiki you can buy items without raising mercantile, but not for spells. You also gain xp from selling. Tldr: buying items is okay, selling is not.
A wonderful video :) I think mannimarco is a result of the butterfly effect, with the dragon break, acting as a catalyst, causing a time break, and a flood of reality altering events happening, all at one time, daggerfall was weird af lol
Conjuration in elder scrolls works by pulling deadra from their realm of existence (like oblivion for example) into our realm (temporarily)... Bound armour/weapon spells trap a deadra into an object temporarily...

Less research partners means less splits to the glory and profits as well as less differing moralities to negotiate, and having peers review your studies is cringe and does not follow Veloth's teachings.

You always have such cool challenge runs!! Im so excited to watch this one! I actually started playing morrowind because of you. Hopefully I'll get to play some oblivion soon :> Thank you for creating :)
13:00 You said it! You actually said it. You used the word sapient! I'm flabbergasted. Thank-you for caring enough to know the meanings of the words you want to use instead of using the word 'sentient' to describe a being with human-level intellect. Much love.
This is hands down one of your funnier videos. The Fingers of The Mountain and Dagail's necklace jokes had me bursting out laughing. Take my like JBN, you earned it.
On the topic of monks and healing or alteration magic in dnd. If i remember right; monks was introduced in mid-late first edition dnd was a lose combination of cleric and rogue it was at the time also somewhat connected to the mystic aesthetic. This was changed on and of in edition, but around 4th edition for monk to become psionics instead of their previous holy-esk theme. (that is if I remember right) So if that is their inspiration it makes a least a bit more sense
Perfect timing, I can use it as background noise (pun absolutely intended and painfully obvious, I will not apologise) while I go to sleep, and then actually watch it later. Very cool and pooglers.
Conjuration in any capacity in the elder scrolls summons a dedra and forces it to take the shape of what you want weapons and armor and undead included
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
Every time you mention paralyzing someone with a kiss I imagine Chipmonk doing the kiss on the cheek and continuing to fight like Liquid Snake in MGS4.
The "Monk" you're thinking of is called a Healer in Elder Scrolls classes. The Elder Scrolls Monk is basically a D&D Monk a.k.a. a Wuxia movie character
17:40 an oversight from bethesda, the summoned variants of ghosts, wraiths and anything else that is normally unhittable by unenchanted, silver or daedric have a 50% resistance to normal weapons as opposed to the usual 100%. The unofficial patch for oblivion fixes this if i remember correctly. Edit: nevermind this is what i get for pausing for video goddamnit anyways, great video. excited and happy to hear you're trying out Tamriel Rebuilt, i probably can't watch you live on twitch but i'll definitely peep the vods.
Necromancy never made sense in TES. Everyone hates it, but you have to steal souls to enchant and recharge things. Perfectly fine. You can learn and make spells that damage health, stamina, stats, and the like, and that is okay. You can make and learn spells that drain health, stamina, stats, and such. All good. All necromancy. Yet only reanimating the dead and stealing "human" souls are bad.
it's probably because every other time tamriel has a major disaster it's because of necromancers or Daedric shenanigans. also cuz filling black soul gems send you to Purple Soul Hell
@@notund-a To be frank it is kind of a good question why is it considered totally fine to summon dremora and other daedra in Oblivion, when we are in the middle of the crisis involving those exact things invading Tamriel. If anything it's the Conjuration that should be banned not Necromancy :)
15:57 RS3 got necromancy as a combat skill last year, and the story around it basically was "Death (npc) says necromancers are evil 'cause they force the dead to do their bidding, what if i was a necromancer who asks concent". :DD
I think having the mages guild send you to Kvatch for a recommendation, only to find the Oblivion Gate. You closing the gate earns you the recommendation. Feels organic. Each major guild should have had a natural feeling link to the main quest. No use ranting about a very aged game

13:00 You said it! You actually said it. You used the word sapient! I'm flabbergasted. Thank-you for caring enough to know the meanings of the words you want to use instead of using the word 'sentient' to describe a being with human-level intellect. Much love.
This is hands down one of your funnier videos. The Fingers of The Mountain and Dagail's necklace jokes had me bursting out laughing. Take my like JBN, you earned it.
19:43 Raminus: "It ain't gonna suck itself."
Yay for an Oblivion video! I really liked your last one, happy to see another!
On the topic of monks and healing or alteration magic in dnd. If i remember right; monks was introduced in mid-late first edition dnd was a lose combination of cleric and rogue it was at the time also somewhat connected to the mystic aesthetic. This was changed on and of in edition, but around 4th edition for monk to become psionics instead of their previous holy-esk theme. (that is if I remember right)
So if that is their inspiration it makes a least a bit more sense
"Monk of Dibella baby" love the bard mindset
Perfect timing, I can use it as background noise (pun absolutely intended and painfully obvious, I will not apologise) while I go to sleep, and then actually watch it later. Very cool and pooglers.
Chipmonk looks so much like just a guy I didn't realize it was Oblivion at first.
The mages guild in oblivion in a nutshell. Fetch back our library.
Conjuration in any capacity in the elder scrolls summons a dedra and forces it to take the shape of what you want weapons and armor and undead included
20:36, that was some very impressive teamwork right there
Man this video was surprisingly funny. I was enthralled for the whole thing.
1:06 Ah, I Appreciate all of your Astute, Awesome, And Astounding, Albeit Almost Annoying Attempts At Alliteration!
Not annoying at all, I just had to force extra alliteration!
As an Elder Scrolls enthusiast, I love your videos!! Keep it up!!! Also, I took the shots, and now I'm shit faced in the Home Depot bathroom.
Finally the TES content creator ive been searching for
Man, I click the "like" button just when I see your video's uploaded. You make a huge amount of high quality content I love to watch. God bless!❤
27:39 I haven't laughed so hard I literally needed air and started panicking in years, absolute gold.
39:29 My favorite part of the video. Back-to-back grunting noises from getting punched.
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
Every time you mention paralyzing someone with a kiss I imagine Chipmonk doing the kiss on the cheek and continuing to fight like Liquid Snake in MGS4.
You did a great job in character creation man, he looks like actual human and not like lovecraftian god of lust and destruction
I love your videos so much man I could seriously watch them all day.
The "Monk" you're thinking of is called a Healer in Elder Scrolls classes. The Elder Scrolls Monk is basically a D&D Monk a.k.a. a Wuxia movie character
Man, this guy never fails to impregnate me with quality content :D
Alpha and Omega never fail to crack me up.
Love you and your videos. Watched all of them like three times in a raw.
17:40 an oversight from bethesda, the summoned variants of ghosts, wraiths and anything else that is normally unhittable by unenchanted, silver or daedric have a 50% resistance to normal weapons as opposed to the usual 100%. The unofficial patch for oblivion fixes this if i remember correctly.
Edit: nevermind this is what i get for pausing for video goddamnit
anyways, great video. excited and happy to hear you're trying out Tamriel Rebuilt, i probably can't watch you live on twitch but i'll definitely peep the vods.
Might be intentional, since having whole 30 seconds of ghost unkillable by regular weapons considered imbalanced by daddy todd
You’re one of my favorite comfort RUclipsrs. Keep up the great work!
Necromancy never made sense in TES. Everyone hates it, but you have to steal souls to enchant and recharge things. Perfectly fine.
You can learn and make spells that damage health, stamina, stats, and the like, and that is okay.
You can make and learn spells that drain health, stamina, stats, and such. All good.
All necromancy. Yet only reanimating the dead and stealing "human" souls are bad.
Not to mention how nobody seems to complain about you summoning literal demons from hell.
it's probably because every other time tamriel has a major disaster it's because of necromancers or Daedric shenanigans. also cuz filling black soul gems send you to Purple Soul Hell
@@notund-a To be frank it is kind of a good question why is it considered totally fine to summon dremora and other daedra in Oblivion, when we are in the middle of the crisis involving those exact things invading Tamriel. If anything it's the Conjuration that should be banned not Necromancy :)
Another great video love your content dude especially the Morrowind ones great to see you play Oblivion.
15:57 RS3 got necromancy as a combat skill last year, and the story around it basically was "Death (npc) says necromancers are evil 'cause they force the dead to do their bidding, what if i was a necromancer who asks concent". :DD
Been watching your videos for a while. This was very fun to watch. Bonk
Never have I been so excited for an Oblivion video
I think having the mages guild send you to Kvatch for a recommendation, only to find the Oblivion Gate. You closing the gate earns you the recommendation. Feels organic. Each major guild should have had a natural feeling link to the main quest. No use ranting about a very aged game
The cut to your character after lockpicking and getting caught, I'm rolling
After a long and stressful day this is hitting differently thank you 🙏
Just recently found your channel, to have well ... background noise ... while modding Skyrim, and love the content/commentary. Almost done with tweaking my mod list etc. (hopefully) so I'll have to find other things to do while watching your videos. Keep up the great work
