Why You NEED To Play Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion In 2022
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 май 2022
- If there is a game that I feel had parallels to Starfield, it is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. From the timing during their respective generations, the "prove it" moment, the delay, the hardcore elements and the unknown, these two games are already spiritually connected in my eyes. However, standing on its own, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is magnificent and holds a special place in my heart. It was my first BGS game, so today we dive deep on why you should make the return... or play for the first time.

I spent over 700 hours when it first released, and managed to squeeze about 100 hours on Shivering Isles, I can't see me going through it again, but it remains my favourite first person RPG ever.
Soo for the rest of your life you will never jump back into oblivion for another playthrough? Your days of traversing the land of Cyrodil and realm of madness are over?
700 hs? What do You do Create the Game? :P
@@JUAN-ym8ph he probably means 700 hours across multiple playthroughts. I probably put that amount of time total (if not more) into fallout 3
@@merksmovies25 I get this guy tho. I did the same and every time I try to go back I can’t play for more than 15 min. The opening I could still do with my eyes closed. Maybe one day I’ll go back, but for now I’m happy remembering it for being one of my favorite RPGs.
@@merksmovies25 yes i know xD love f3 My fallout favorito
A little love for Morrowwind: it had the best magic item EVER. The boots of blinding speed. They did exactly what it said on the tin: made you move at hyper speed, and made you blind!
Those were the days.
I liked Morrowind a lot but to be honest it was like Skyrim in that most of the quests were just fetch ones. Even teh fetch ones in Oblivion had extra layers to them. Like get statue then a twist as it helps ferret out Thievies Guild mole. (I'm currently playing Morrowind and Oblivion in parallel so see some of Morrowind's shortcomings more as a result though I wish Oblivion had Mark and Recall so I don't have to backtrack so much through caves).
@@greenscheme2040Fair but IMO fetch quests in Morrowind work far better because the world is more dense and intriguing and you’re not just following a marked objective you’re on an actual adventure to find the things you’re looking for.
oblivion was my first rpg that wasn't pokemon or final fantasy. I remember stepping out of the prison and just being so blown away by the fact that I could just go anywhere. I just spent hours looking at leaves and the river and the landscape.
Once I figured out the enemies scaled to your level in the game I would head North and sweep back and forth South.
It was like combing for wreckage in a plane crash I wanted to find every little hidden spot.
Why did you go to prison?
@@Masterchief12455 u start the game as a prisoner
@@Masterchief12455 you start the game in prison...
@@Masterchief12455 lmfaooo you thought he meant irl thats funny af
I started with Skyrim as my first elder scrolls but recently got into oblivion. So far I already enjoy the narrative much more and despite it's age it still feels like an immersive and enchanting world to wander around in.
Eww, skyrim.
The side quests and major factions in Oblivion are better written than in Skyrim
if you enjoyed going back to oblivion, and you like elder scrolls, i would try morrowind next. watch some videos first because it is the most outdated, can be a janky experience, but the story and world are so fun to explore my first playthrough was last year and i enjoyed the hell out of it coming from skyrim and oblivion it felt different but still just as good.
@@themagnus2919 some are, some aren't. The dark brotherhood and thieves guild are definitely better. The mages guild and college of winter hold is about a tie. While the companions is far better the the fighters guild.
@@SlippyGreen are the side quest as detailed and unique like oblivion??
I love that Skyblivion will be converting and using the voice lines from an Oblivion install.
Oblivion's voice acting is a huge part of its identity, and it'd feel wrong if 90% of the cast wasn't Wes Johnson
In an ideal situation, I think the best would be a mix of old and new voice acting to alleviate the repetition. Some characters would carry over lines from Oblivion while others would be recast to get the best of both worlds.
Agreed. Kinda like an audible where the narrator voices all characters 😂
To play skyblivion, you have to own oblivion and Skyrim because they take files from both games
@@piggymaster3209 yes, it will be converting files from an Oblivion instsll during the install process, just like what TTW does with Fallout 3 files but on a smaller scale
"Its you, hi"
"Nothing I'd like to talk about"
"Bye"
This game blew my mind when I first played it in 2010. I had never played a game like this before. I love Skyrim and Fallout, but this one remains my favorite.
Same brother. I played this game and I just got engrossed into it. Nothing of this magnitude or ambition was created at the time.
I play it again every once in a while. It’s one of the first rpgs i ever played. I love it to death and think it holds up super well against modern games. Maybe not with polygons or animation quality, but with the heart and the passion that the devs had when making it. It’s a magical game that has no competition.
Also one of the reasons im excited for the deck is for the excuse to play this again
Oblivion will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first RPG I ever played and it is easily one of my all time favorites. It's also the first game I got 1000 gamerscore for.
I miss oblivion a ton. This game was so mind blowing in middle school I had never played a game like it. I remember so much of my first play through way back before Skyrim. Game left a huge impact on me and I wish games could be as memorable and good. But honestly I don’t think we will ever have anything as good. We grew up in a special time of gaming. But people don’t make games for legacy anymore.
Ngl I never finished either game, but I still spend more time on oblivion than I do skyrim
Agreed but play breath of the wild cuz that gave me a similar feeling to the first time I played oblivion
I played Skyrim before Oblivion, but i have to say that I like Oblivion better. It was so fun to run around the countryside bouncing, bouncing, bouncing for skill levels lol.
Or sneaking. Lol
A lot of the faction missions are so much better in oblivion, especially the dark brotherhood.
You actually have to earn your place in the Mages Guild.
I beat the game by bouncing and sneaking as a level 24 😆 I shut all of the gates passively only killed what I had to if I could. My brother loaded up one of my saves before I beat the game and I was surrounded by Daedrich 🤣
Another good elder scrolls is morrowind, a lot of people complain about the combat but they just have shitty builds bc someone told them to min-max
The ideal way to experience this old Bethesda games is on PC. Mods are the magical word. If you want vanilla gameplay just use the unofficial patches and texture mods to make it look much better and you have a new game.
I play on PC but would never ever use a mod on Oblivion. The vanilla was perfect. You don't ruin perfection.
I've actually been revisiting Oblivion for the first time since it came out when I was a teenager. I must have sunk hundreds of hours into it back in 2005/2006.....being back in Cyrodiil at age 31, seeing those beautiful sights and hearing that legendary soundtrack again is something of a religious experience. Memories of my 15 year old self and a simpler time come flooding back.... last night I just spent an hour walking around the Imperial City and immersing myself in the lore and culture.
I'm absolutely a fan of these videos. I feel like we're in an era where people are obsessed with finding everything wrong with a game. It's refreshing to have an overview with some positive context.
I think thats because fans become older and might find gaming in general less fun
@@benkrijgsheld6826 Check oblivion quick retrospective and see for yourself, why people change mind with age.
Because new games are trash compared to games released on 360 and consoles before.
My Oblivion Special Edition that's rated T for Teen will forever be in my collection. Oblivion was such a pivotal game in my gaming life.
Same ill play it again if they rly remaster it tho lol
Why is the T special?
@@Royinszki The rating got changed to "M for Mature" not long after the game came out. The "Rated T" copies were no longer sold.
It's the same game, with just a little quirky history behind the original release boxes.
@@ninjafohhiya it'll also be rare to come across keep that as a treasure man could be worth money someday
I never quite understood the complaint about the dungeons in this game, yet praise for the dungeons in skyrim.
I remember being enamored by the dungeons in oblivion and I started playing skyrim and i was left disappointed. The oblivion dungeons were so big and vast and at times difficult. What you like the crappy puzzles in skyrim? Once you've been in one of each kind of dungeon in skyrim, you've been in them all.
I agree and at least oblivion had an excuse for it. Skyrims dungeons were just lazy.. Much like the quests actually come to think of it
@@me5969 oblivion is a better game in every way...except sales.... Praise the 9 for skyblivion!
@@tyguy3876 I think the combat in skyrim is a bit better. And the voice acting. But the bad voice acting in oblivion is kinda charming.
Every single dungeon in Oblivion looked identical.
Saying that Oblivion dungeons were somehow better than Skyrim’s is some hard core delusional fanboyism lmao
Oblivion Dungeons: Cookie-cutter environment, handcrafted content inside
Skyrim Dungeons: Handcrafted environment, cookie-cutter content inside
I just restarted this week. Man, coming out of that dungeon is still as impressive as ever.
I bought a PS3 a few weeks ago and the Oblivion was the first game I bought.
I really wish that they would remastered this game
Yeah maybe change the leveling system a little. I DON'T MEAN MAKE IT LIKE SKYRIM I enjoy both skyrim and oblivion and preferred the way oblivion fealt w classes I just wish you didn't have to watch what you level closely or lower the slider to play how you want but I'd definitely rather it stay the same over making it more like skyrim. I really hope tes6 combines good elements of oblivion and skyrim but I also know dreams don't always come true 😅 it may just be skyrim 2
Being remade for Skyrim.
i swear they did i feel crazy rn
Skyblivion is a thing.
@@Jaden-Ring😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅drrreddd
Oblivion is definitely my favorite. It was the first ES I played, and even though I have way more hours in Skyrim I still like Oblivion the most, it's such a beautiful game speaking of world design, with its flaws of course.
As for Morrowind, unfortunately I was too late to the party, I really tried to play it a few years back, but the UI, the systems and ultimately even the level design are just extremely dated. That's why I'm so excited for Skywind, and the Beyond Skyrim projects, and of course Skyblivion would be great to experience with all the new features Skyrim brought to the table.
Sjyblivion will release by 2030 so not too long away
Just curious, you stopped playing Morrowind for the UI? Oblivion probably has one of worst RPG UI's in literally any Elder scrolls game. Even Daggerfall (The second Elder scrolls game) has a better UI system than Oblivion. Morrowind is much more of a traditional RPG experience while I feel oblivion was dumbed down in a sense to cater to a more casual audience. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. What do the "systems" mean that you talk about and what level design caused you to not like it. Was it the caves? the layout of the world?
Im not here to shit on your stance Im just trying to figure out why you like Oblivion over Morrowind cause for me its the complete opposite. I really suggest you take the time to replay Morrowind because you're really missing out on the greatest RPG experience bethesda has to offer. Jus wanna spread the joy of this game cause I love it so much, so forgive me if I come across any certain way.
@@JaddyOG People like different things, i found morrowinds sense of scale insultingly tiny, it's exploration barren, it's quests mundane and boring and it's 3rd act writing unfinished and rushed at best.
Oblivion's UI has character and style and gets the job done, morrowind's windows are obtuse and poorly rendered, the font is ugly and the mouse control is horrible.
I LOVED Oblivion. I spent hundreds of hours back when it first released on the 360. It was revolutionary! I've been a console gamer since the Atari in the early 1980s and have played pretty much every console since and Oblivion is one of my favorites! Wow! 4 decades...I'm getting old. I would LOVE to see Oblivion remastered to meet current "next gen" gaming limits!
ill see your remastered oblivion and raise you a remastered morrowind.
im with ya on console gamer for life. I remember when they released Morrowind on xbox. That game completely blew me away and set the bar
Honestly one of my favourite memories was fracturing my hip playing rugby and then just sitting there for two weeks off school playing this. I genuinely lived in this world.
I know I'm going to ruffle a few feathers but I genuinely feel sorry for people who jumped in with Skyrim. I'm not sure how well these have aged (I'm talking about unmodded) but this, morrowind, fo3 and nv were pure greatness. Everything you found was a story and not a fetch quest. The sense of discovery was amazing with these.
Amen to that
I love Morrowind and Skyrim, they're both 10/10's for me, but there is just something about Oblivion that is indescribably charming. I always come back to it. (Plus the NPC's are hilarious.)
Man i could write a book about Oblivion dude seriously. So many memories playing this as young as i was lol i have so many things in my memories that is just attached to this game. I could go on forever i played 1st on xbox360 and long story short eventually i got my own console which was a ps3 and i put like 700 freaking hours on that game its ridiculous dude. The love i have for that game is at a max my favorite RPG OF ALL TIME PERIOD.
Oblivion has always and will forever be my favorite game of all time. It truly was my introduction to RPGs and was my "stay up past bedtime" game. I had gottten Oblivion as my first game on my 360, I still use that original copy today, it even has the T rating on it.
Matty, you gotta get the "NorthernUI" mod for Oblivion on the Steam Deck. Adds full native controller support, and the option of changing the UI to be like SkyUI. It's a total game changer!
I’ve loved that game since 2006 , it’s without a doubt my absolute favorite game of all time ...I still play it just about every day , that game even helped me through some serious depressing times . I really hope by some miracle that it’ll be remastered , it totally deserves it , along with morrowind 😊
Same, hopefully this happens 🤞
I remember getting it for my new 360 and was blown away by it. I’d never played anything like it. Great memories!
Same here. Had a cousin tell me multi times, "I see you was playing that fairy game last. What do you see in that $h!t?"
I completed Oblivion’s main quest for the first time about a month ago and I have to say the ending has an emotional element that Skyrim came nowhere close to. I actually CARED about Martin Septim and his story.
Skyrim was very checklist whe it came to the main quest line. The story sucked.
@@jamesfitzgerald1684 even your quest log was structured like a checklist in skyrim, I loved how in oblivion your map and quest log was a scroll, and it added to the atmosphere, where as skyrim feels like a grocery list
I cant imagine an elder scrolls game without Jeremy Soule. It's so important to the atmosphere and is as iconic as music can get.
This was the second BGS game I played, Morrowind was my first. Oblivion was on another level, and still today my favourite game of all time. I always come back to this title. Masterpiece personally.
I remember when I played this for the first time. I even had the giant strategy guide for it because I had never seen a game with a guide that huge. Probably the first game I ever played where I could just get lost running around aimlessly for hours, and still have a great time! The sense of exploration and stumbling upon a quest or a new hidden cave/mine/ruin was so amazing. The freedom to just do whatever I wanted, or approach combat however I wanted was such a foreign concept at the time. It’s still to this day one of the greatest gaming experiences I think I have ever had. It’s the game that made me fall in love with Bethesda as a studio, and I can’t wait to see what they’ll do in the future under Microsoft.
Glad to see Matty at it bigger than ever! Remember watching your videos in the OG Fallout 4 speculation days. Happy to see you thriving with youtube!
I still remember when I first got Oblivion. I got it at Dave & Busters with the tickets I won but didn’t like it at the time I played it because I was smooth brained at that point. I gave it another chance and it’s now in my Top 5 Games.
The soundtrack was phenomenal. I loved everything about this game. My very first bethesda game. I couldn't get into skyrim. Still don't get why people love skyrim so much. Oblivion was just out this world. Story was phenomenal. I still occasionally listen to the soundtrack on Amazon music. It calms me down
Just started it up again this week on my new laptop with some mods (for the first time) and already a blast of nostalgia. No matter how many times i play, i always enjoy the experience
This was the game that introduced me to BGS. Can’t wait to check out this video Matty.
Oblivion was my first BGS game ,I've been hooked ever since.
great vid, i may have to go back and check it out again. good times summoning a monster and then killing it to level up xD
For years it's been my favorite game and in some ways there are qualities about it that are better than even Skyrim. Oblivion is probably one of the games that deserves to get a full remake one day.
This came at an opportune time for me. My daughter is always recommending Oblivion as her favorite Bethesda game, possibly her favorite game ever. I've played several hours of Skyrim (and still have plenty of quests, exploration and leveling up to do) but I'm very much a FO4 geek. So, this let me see a bit of what it's like. Regarding FO3 on PC, I wanted badly to play it modded but was blocked by the Windows thing. I tried most of the workarounds I could find with no luck. I'm really irritated to have paid for a game I can't play, even though I got it during a good promotion. I do have it for my Xbox Series S but I have such a hard time getting past the green filter. I've watched some great FO3 content from MATN and Jon has inspired me to give it ago. I also watched one of your FO3
videos and that was great too. Cheers!
Loving the channel, laddie. Going over the games I played when I was younger. Real classics!
Jeremy Soule is such a ridiculous talent. I mean TES 3, 4, 5 and ALSO Knights of the Old Republic? Mind-blowing.
I grew up watching my brother play Oblivion, but I was too young for RPGs at that time, although matty! 3 days before your video I started modding oblivion and finished modding yesterday, BLESSED by your videos release! keep up the great content praying for ur success
Just started another play through a few days ago. Broke out the big ass strategy book. I love it
I trashed my book then years later dam near cried about it.
Yeah, I had that book too. Oblivion is the only game besides Zelda Ocarina of Time that I ever bought a stategy book for.
Hands down 100% my favorite game of all time. I can walk someone through this game blindfolded. Dark brotherhood was perfection. Mages guild perfection. Fighters guild was great. Getting lost in crazy side quests like the rythe lythandas painting world. Order of the virtuous blood just to name two off the top of the head. 10/10 perfection.
My favorites were dark brotherhood and thieves guild. Mages was really good too but I hated the fighters guild, it bored me to tears.
Order of the virtuous blood was one of those quest I didn't find until a few playthroughs later
Wow. Great minds think alike, I’ve been playing it the last two days. I can’t believe how good this game was at the time, if this had a remaster it would still hold up today.
skyblivion
@@EntropyDoesNotExist is that released yet? I just got an Xbox x was waiting to play it in that when it comes out
@@valorsayles3048 nah I’m pretty sure it’s somewhat close to being finished but there isn’t an official release date, if u search it into yt u can see gameplay of it tho
@@valorsayles3048 I don't think that's gonna come to console though right? That's only a pc mod?
Just started my 1st playthrough on my steam deck
I used to watch my brother play this on his 360 in 2006, good memories. I was 6 at the time so I was pretty bad at it but I enjoyed watching him play and I got into it later myself when I got older. It's easily one of my favorite rpgs ever. I'm more of a Fallout player, but still always come back to this game every once in a while.
my favorite type of matty videos 🙏🏽
The music of this game has been living rent free in my head for years now.
when i was younger i was looking for a game at gamestop for my new xbox 360 and some older dude was like u should get oblivion its 100% worth and till this very day its one of my favorite rpgs of all time
Excellent vid, thank you for the time and effort you clearly put into it. (Australia)
Another great one. I played a lot of Oblivion, and I really, really enjoyed it. It's the game that got me excited about the "new Fallout developer" LoL I was so scared they were "making it an FPS" but also excited about the possibilities. Those were wild and transformative times in the industry. Thanks.
I love hearing Matty gush about his favorite older RPGs! It's nice to hear positivity in the gaming community, but also it's just very fun to hear people talk about their passions.
Yo I just want to say that your videos are great. Love the consistency and passion towards BGS.
Matty, your editor has the easiest job. Because you are so good at just talking, keeping a thought rolling. Most people say a sentence or two and there's a cut and edit. You are one of the few who can just basically free style and without a ton of edits. Something that's underppreciated.
Currently playing through this game again right now actually and it is more fun now then it was all those years ago!
Always enjoy your content brother!
I've never played Oblivion! My start in the franchise was Skyrim and I am just waiting for ES6. But I've heard Oblivion went more in depth in decision making that Skyrim did but I worry that gameplay is a bit outdated now. So, not sure if it will keep my attention for long. Regardless, excellent video!
It definitely will keep your attention. One of my favorite things is that being a guild master actually has perks.
Play itttttttt
@@tokenoftimetokenoftime8154 persuasion for me to play it in the process hahaha!
@@sirbradfordofhousejones should IIIIIIIII?
Still holds up well. I will say Morrowind does not though, imo.
this game was one of the greatest ever! Still go back and play it again every year or two! first ever western RPG I ever played and still my favorite franchise to this day!
They really should port oblivion to the switch. I would buy it in a heartbeat
It baffles the mind that Bethesda hasn’t ported most of their RPG library to the switch. I would literally lose hours to Fallout 3 and Oblivion on Switch.
@@juanescobarrojas8330 vats would translate so easily to potable too.
Great review man!
I have started today. Incredible what mods have achieved in the couple of years I haven't played Oblivion. Wonderful.
Got this in 9th grade. Most nostalgic game for me. It blew my mind. Still does, it's so fun to play 👍
I miss making my own magic in Skyrim:( I also liked how you carried your own ability to make potions in Oblivion...
I still remember stepping out of the dungeon, and seeing that big, beautiful, open world, chugging along on my PC at 15 fps...and I loved it.
That music brings back SO MANY MEMORIES!
Oblivion was my first Elder Scrolls title, and first Bethesda title as well. I bought a xbox 360 just for this game. It was the right choice and i hold it dear to my heart. Will probably always be my favorite elder scrolls title and i still play it from time to time.
Thanks for the recommendation Matty. Downloaded it on Gamepass and just started playing. I loved Skyrim but never played Morrowind or Oblivion. Really enjoying it so far.
I wish I could play this game again.
I have great memories of this game back when I was in highschool.
Can’t wait to see your video on Morrowind, been really loving getting into it lately. Such an amazing game
Yeah I've recently gotten into it and it really has it's own little charm to it. I hope they take some mechanics from morrowind and add them to tes6. I will play daggerfall or oblivion next. Probably oblivion.
I get lost so much in that game lol, but it is a great game that you can appreciate.
@@theepicraccoon4589 It's got such a unique feel to it, the art design is next level too. I'd love to see Levitate come back if they could manage balancing it.
@@WhiteInk47 I like morrowinds character design better than oblivion for sure. I can't stand the oblivion faces.
Awesome breakdown Matty
This was the first proper rpg I played and was the first game I got with my og 360.. absolutely loved it and so did a few of my mates.. I remember bringing my 360 to a few different mates houses just for them to play it and experience.. playing till 2-3 in the morning as a young teenager.. those the best
Ahh oblivion. My first experience with oblivion was over ambitious. In like 2005ish my mom got a halfway decent pc from some guy she worked with for a gift for me. A friend of mine recommended morrowind which I absolutely loved and never played anything like it before. Then I heard about oblivion and had to have it. I picked up a physical pc version that was limited edition and… my computer could not run it. But I was too young to understand that I thought the game was broken. I still have that copy of oblivion. But later on I would play it like 100 times on the 360 and ps3. Oblivion was Bethesda at its peak. Skyrim is objectively better, but it didn’t wow me the same way oblivion did.
I had the same problem but amazingly someone made a mod/patch called Oldblivion if I remember correctly. It made the game look truly awful but I could actually play it.
@@andash123 that’s awesome. Ironically I had a similar experience with Skyrim. I had already played Skyrim on ps3 but wanted to play it on my trash laptop for college. I downloaded a similar mod that pushed the graphics way below their minimum specs. But I was able to play Skyrim so I didn’t care. Now I have a beast pc but I guess that’s beside the point. I distinctly remember in Skyrim anytime I was near a fire that the smoke coming from it were these giant ugly gray squares lol. So realistic.
I absolutely loved this game back then and I still do. I just started another character last week. It's the first game I spent over 300hours in.
Was my first BGS game. Beat it 6 times so far play it every 2-3 years. 1400+ hours easy, it is my favorite elder scrolls as morrowind was a bit before my time being into rpgs.
Yea oblivion was my first and I ended up trying morrowind because I was tired of morrowind fan boys saying you aren't a real es fan if you haven't played morrowind, so I gave it a shot and it was fucking brutal... and not in a good way, I managed to get through it though, and it had a good story, but damn, I prefer the atmosphere and gameplay of oblivion and skyrim over morrowind any day
I’ve been playing it for a bit now , finishing shivering isles up , definitely worth the playthrough
Oblivion is one of my favorite games of all time and probably my favorite BGS game... but I really do love skyrim too so it's a hard pick lol.. thanks for the content bro
Oblivion is so special. I can’t actually describe it but everything about oblivion takes me somewhere else. The music, the adventure, the geography, the main story, the side stories. This game just hits me perfectly like Skyrim never has. The 4k and 60fps upgrades on Xbox are dreams come true. This isn’t my favorite game but it is probably the game that I truly get lost in more than any other game ever.
I played this game so much back in the day, and I remember jumping from this one to Fallout NV and feeling it was like a sequel in another universe jaja.
I agree, in that Oblivion is the Golden Standard for what many Elder Scrolls game should aim to be. They made some brave decisions that paid off in the end. Like for instance, the horse armor! Who knows what will be in TeS6? Armor for cows? Joking aside, I look fondly back at the time I first played Oblivion. I stood in a childlike wonder of the possibilities of it's open world. It felt so lived in and elaborate. Really looking forward to their next release.
It was 2007 when I first existed the sewers, to look out over the lake to see a ruin. Then the music hit.
I had never seen, heard or FELT anything like it!
It was the first time I’ve ever cried in a video game.
Oh to go back with things where simpler! The memories flood back to me instantly of the hours I played this game!
Great video, I remember going to the video game store spending an hour carefully sifting through each title that looked great. Finally to find Oblivion and decide to spend the money on this masterpiece. Gaming has never been that good, I’m my opinion. Now days you just go online and digitally download everything, that’s already been reviewed a hundred times I miss the mystery of just going out on a limb for a great game.
I remember my friend in middle school telling me about Skyrim coming out, so I went to gamestop that following day and bought oblivion for my 360. At that point I feel in love with the elder scrolls
Playing oblivion nowadays hits different, the nostalgia goes crazy
Make sure that you not only buy the Game of the year edition if you have a PC, buy the game of the year ultimate edition. Then you will get three extra player homes: a castle, a tower and a cave.
This game came out when I was 11 years old. It was the first time I’ve ever played an open world rpg and my mind was blown. I absolutely fell in love with TES, Cyrodiil, and Bethesda. I put in so many hours, that it was almost like a second life. I knew every corner of that map. I’d give anything to experience that childhood wonder again.
For those on Steam Deck, you might want to look at installing the NorthernUI mod. It incorporates _native_ controller support into Oblivion.
You'll need (x)OBSE, but I'm pretty sure OBSE runs perfectly fine on all Linux distros.
Salutations Mr Matty!! 🙌
Oblivion was groundbreaking when it came out. The open world, sound track etc.... It was a special game. I think Skyrim was the perfect follow up & better game but Oblivion will always have a place in my heart.
Omg playing it now this week. It's a glorious game even the Go Fish quest feels revolutionary for that time
What a coincidence, I've BEEN playing Oblivion in 2022! Rolled a potion-fiend of a Redguard named Lew Alchemistor. Everyone and their fathers say he's lazy and doesn't hustle but he knows he's been busting ass since he was still in Hammerfell.
I've been playing this game for at least an hour a week since it released easily my all time favorite game
Modded it last year so I could play Morroblivion
Tough times for news. :D
Oblivion was my first bgs game. It blew my mind back when I was in college. It still holds up pretty well IMO. You just have to be able to cut it some soak because of how old it is.
I remember making this spell with heavy de-buffs and a small damage spell that was magnified a ton.
I completed it recently on my Series X. It's practically a remaster since it runs at 4K 60 FPS with improved loading times!
It’s always a slow season when Matty is making these kinds videos lol
Lately I keep thinking about playing Oblivion again, I can't remember much about the main story, but have fond memories of the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild missions
I love the voices in oblivion…they may have been limited, but the were great!
This was my first introduction to the Elder Scrolls series, and I absolutely loved it, even with all its flaws.
