    Oblivion is the best Elder Scrolls game for paladin archetypes. Knight of the Nine, the high-medieval aesthetics, unholy demons to slay(daedra abundant) and most importantly: the ability to cast spells without unequipping weapons/shields. When I'm in the mood for a classic medieval fantasy game, Oblivion never lets me down.

    I know that most people worship Shivering Isles as one of the greatest DLC's ever created, but I'm a much bigger fan of Knights of the Nine, it is easily my favorite DLC, and one of my favorite quest lines in all of Elder Scrolls.

    • @lhays117
      @lhays117 8 месяцев назад +2

      I don’t get that. It’s fine, but shivering isles is better in pretty much every regard. I thought the story was underbaked and pretty generic, the initial pilgrimage quest was annoyingly tedious, and umaril was an incredibly underdeveloped villain and the final fight with him in turn had barely any emotional impact on me (as well as it being way too easy of a fight). I enjoyed questing for the relics, but that’s just because the dungeons for them were well made in level design. Other than that though, the DLC was just alright.

      Umaril is a pretty generic villain unless you read the song of Pelinal, but the main strength of the questline is how every other character has a great resolution to their story. If you speak to each of the spirits of the old knights of the nine, you can learn in detail about how they each failed their quest for the relics in their own way. To collect the relics you have to overcome their mistakes, and then at the end of the quest you can hear each of them reflect on where they went wrong knowing that their legacy has been put right. All of the new recruits you meet also have their own zany personalities, and even if some of them sadly die in the battle against Umaril, it's a sweet ending that you'll always leave the order with a full set of nine knights ready to uphold the legacy of their predecessors.

  • @AdmiralOrca
    @AdmiralOrca 8 месяцев назад +27

    Knights of the nine has always been one of my favorite quest lines, the only problem I have with jumping straight into it with a new character is that if you commit a crime you have to go on another pilgrimage to regain use of the relics. I prefer to run through the dark brotherhood and thieves guild first just to avoid committing crimes once becoming the divine crusader, and for a bit of role play I can “retire” from a vile life for one of honor

    • @Travybear1989
      @Travybear1989 5 месяцев назад

      That is what I do as well. I go through The Thieves guild first to make money and buy a house to store my stuff in the Waterfront district, then after The Ultimate Heist I kill an innocent person and go through The Dark Brotherhood (I'm fairly wealthy and have good sneak, acrobatics, and mercantile levels by this point so it's easy). Then I always repent my ways and do NotN so I can get all that awesome gear and access to chapel altars again.
      After that I generally do the mages/fighter guilds, and side quests. Then I do the main quest, and finally The Shivering Isles in which my character becomes a god. After that point I have well over 150-200 hours in a playthrough and I shelve the game for a 3-4 years before I do it all over again.
      I have 1,783.4 hours in Oblivion (according to Steam) lol but I played the game on Xbox 360 until I built a gaming PC in early 2008 so it's probably closer to 2,200-ish hours.
      Never played a game so much in my entire life, I still only have 386.2 hours on Skyrim for comparison. I mean, I like Skyrim but the lack of spellmaking and acrobatics just ruins it for me, same for the "gritty" aesthetic. Oblivion is almost comedic, silly, and has a colorful aesthetic. I really enjoy how it doesn't take itself too seriously. I was insanely hyped for a year until Skyrim came out, an unhealthy amount really but it just stripped the personality from the series. Played all the main games and I'd probably rate them...
      1. Oblivion
      2. Morrowind
      3. Daggerfall
      4. Skyrim
      5. Arena
      Morrowind and Daggerfall are great in their own ways, I love the Morrowind but the combat is admittedly pretty awful. Daggerfall has better combat and the freedom to live anywhere, get loans, own a horse+cart is awesome but even though I've played it for a long time the dungeons are a bitch to navigate and you MUST get the mark/recall spells and immunity to disease or the game is a pain in the ass and just not fun. Morrowind isn't as brutal as Daggerfall with the quest timing and mechanics but the combat (in the early game) and walking/running animations suck.
      Levitation is great though but the spellmaking is way too unbalanced.
      In Oblivion you can make some badass spells but you can't just nuke an entire city with a 100-meter wide fireball that does 5000 damage to all targets like a DBZ character. Skyrim is broken in it's own way with the alchemy/enchanting loop but you are limited to melee/ranged weapons.
      So Skyrim has broken melee combat and Morrowind has broken magic, Oblivion is broken more for sneaky characters I guess with acrobatics and the ability to get 100% chameleon which effectively renders you invisible and capable of jumping houses (once you get 80+ acrobatics and the boots of Springheel Jak).
      So I guess there is no perfect TES game but Oblivion comes the closest to my definition of perfection at least.

    One thing I believe Skyrim is sort of missing on is quests that support you role playing as an Honorable Knight. I played Oblivion years after Skyrim, and was pleasantly suprised about how prevalent the fantasy Knight trope is in play. The Blades, The Knights of the White Stallion, The Knights of the Thorn, and the absolute best of all, The Knights of the Nine. All these Knight factions that help you with immersing yourself as Knight. Not to mention all sorts of NPCs will acknowledge you as "Sir Knight". It's just awesome and the contemporary medieval design of Cyrodiil really brings it home for the role-playing.
    Don't get me wrong, the all powerful prophesied Dragon Slayer with ancient vikings in a cold, hard, warrior society trope in Skyrim really sings on it's own too, but something about Oblivion and it's more Excalibur influenced themes really pokes you in all the right ways.

    Knights of the Nine was splendid and to this day my favorite dlc to play through in Oblivion. I absolutely love Templar and crusader themes, a holy quest of righteousness that ties into deep ES lore from the First Age and all its heroes; and the story was very well executed from the Prophet's warning to the pilgrimage that builds you up to a reward, finding the remains of a questing knight of an old order and then their old headquarters (Sir Amiel's ring activating the basement door was epic), facing the order of old, rebuilding the ranks, it's epic. And the full regalia of the divine crusader looks so very good, not too flashy or over-the-top fantastical, but just right. Especially the sword is so handsome. Shivering isles was fine, but not entirely to my tastes. If I want wonky aloofness and ailen terrain I'd just watch Charlie and the Chocolate factory. No, give me an epic knighly adventure anyday.

    Glad this was recommended to me - this was very well-articulated and really showed how good this questline is.
    I would say the only thing that annoys me about the relics is that your infamy always has to be at 0 to wear them. On my first playthrough, I was playing sort of a neutral good spellsword so the Knights of the Nine was the last "good" questline I did before I started doing all the morally bad ones like the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood. This gear was still super good for my character though, so I kept having to reset my infamy through the console after every quest just to keep wearing them.
    Other than this setback, I would say this is my favorite DLC and I way prefer the short and sweet experience of this one compared to the tedious ones in Skyrim... I keep thinking of getting all the black books in the Dragonborn DLC and getting lost for hours on end in the Forgotten Vale in the Dawnguard DLC... Hell nah I'm not doing those again LMAO

Anyway, I was just really surprised, I thought the game spawned him in when you got close to one.

    Interestingly enough, in this case you chose the one playstyle the DLC did not want/could serve:
    Stealth and Archery.
    Stealth less so, but archery in full swing a "No".
    Because haven't you asked yourself: "If there's no dual wielding... why am I given two one-handed melee weapons?"
    It has to do with Oblivions Melee Combat skills, which unlike Skyrim, are divided by Blunt and Blade skillsets.
    So a one-handed weapon isn't treated like any other but rather a greatsword and a longsword are treated more akin than a Mace and a Sword.
    Which is why Archery was a pretty decent choice in the showcase (so to both show "this is for a knight who intends melee combat." and to be indifferent per se to both Mace and Sword), whether intent or not.
    So the DLC does give the opportunity, not only to make the armor relics be the more prevalent armor type in a characters skills (heavy/light) depending on which skill is higher, but actually also serves towards both a Blunt and a Blades option.
    In my personal opinion an ingenious way of doing it. Which is why I dislike the Skyrim Divine Crusader Creation Club content so much; it only serves in two completely different looking sets to light and heavy armor but also only serves the one-handed tree.
    And if you want a two-handed crusader weapon, good luck spending more money just to buy Chrysamere. Not to mention you wouldnt be able to wear the shield with the two-hander.

    Some things I would like to point out:
    -The prophet at the beginning isn't saying that he doesn't want help from someone with qualifications, he's saying that you think you are so high and mighty that YOU shouldn't need HIS help. Like "if you are so great, save the world yourself" and I actually like this aspect as it makes you admit as a player that you can't do everything by yourself and that sometimes you have to ask others for help
    -The attack on the chapel of Arkay actually makes it so you can't start the restoration master training quest as both the NPCs that die are some of the highest level skill trainers
    -The people in golden armor are not Ayleids, they are Aurorans which are a type of Daedra from Meridia's plane of Oblivion
    -Umaril is far from a god, he's pretty much just an ancient emperor that made a deal with a devil in order to come back from beyond the grave
    -The trial of Kynareth may not be very complicated or hard, but I actually got stuck on it for a while the first time I played because it essentially flips the game on it's head and reverses the normal objectives and I really respect that

  • @monolalia
    @monolalia 8 месяцев назад

    I agree completely. It’s not as flashy as Shivering Isles but there’s more to it than a series of fetch quests. It rather reminds me of Ultima IV with its eight virtues; you need to find their associated runes, meditate at their associated shrines, pick up eight “matching” companions along the way, and so on. Can’t be the usual cynical amoral player character type or you won’t progress on your quest to become the Avatar///be worthy of the title Crusader and the Crusader’s relics.

  • @Kieray
    @Kieray 9 месяцев назад +1

    Interesting that the dlc is overlooked now I remember when it first came out and it was pretty good but if I remember correctly Bethesda had announced that there was going to be smaller story dlc before the big expansion kinda like the Witcher 3 dlc. I’m not including the house dlcs or horse armour though. I do wonder if the reason the dlc is so short is because of Xbox live restrictions since it was one of the first large story dlcs I remember being launched since it was usually map packs and stuff like that on Xbox live at the time. I remember enjoying the dlc but also feeling kinda let down that it didn’t add much to the game. Replaying oblivion after a few years I wasn’t disappointed since it felt like it was part of the base game which can be a good or bad thing, it doesn’t feel out of place and is almost a extra guild. The story of the dlc is pretty good but it feels a little rushed imo. I can see why it’s overlooked compared to shivering isles but at least for me I’ve always thought of the dlc to oblivion kinda like a meal with knights of the nine being the starting course that preps you for the main course of shivering isles and the smaller house dlcs as desserts that you only get if really hungry. Being the starter it’s easy to get overlooked since it can’t overshadow the main course but it also can’t be bad or no one would want the main course either. It also doesn’t help it that it came out in that weird time when dlc was moving from buying discs with the expansion to digital downloads and people where still trying to figure out how big a dlc could be. Today some hot fix patches are bigger than the size of the knights of the nine expansion.

    • @junglejakes101

    17:26 not only great armor for oblivion, but at the time it came out there was big judgement on the game and the realistic depiction of a great helm and crusader armor served to solidify not only its representation of midevil accuracy but Bethesda’s desire to really serve its fanbase at the time.
    With the release of starfield it just goes to show they’re going have to put a lot more effort to dethrone their de facto magnum opus

    The Problem With knights of the nine is that you’re not allowed to do any crimes or ‘bad’ things (including daedric quests) after so unless you role play super hard or have already done your stuff then it ruins your game

      Wrong. You get infamy not by doing crimes but for being stupid enough to get caught. The only time that you should get infamy is doing Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood quests. Daedric quests raise fame, assuming that you weren't caught doing any crimes.

    Because I watch a certain pancreanoworks I know a bit about his lore,
    His lore is very weird because he could be The reincarnation of a God he could be a protector of man from a God who is dead. He could also be all of those things and also someone from the future (because yes in elder scrolls time travel does exist) and he knew that the the dirty half-breed daedra elf would come back would come back. But he couldn't kill him because one Talos didn't exist and if he wasn't so injured from basically killing all of the elves himself he probably would have cut a hole in the dimensions and followed him to just end him permanently but you know he was tired,
    He's a very interesting character and also the biggest elf hater probably ever. Also elder scrolls lore is so weird.
