1:34: It shouldn't be a problem, the hand indicator isn't red. (2:08: LOL.) 4:28: LMAO. 7:37: It's a shame that specialized use cases like you've described don't tend to come up that often. That's actually a criticism I have for combat in all of the Elder Scrolls games, and I think it stems in part from the lack of many unique, enemy-specific abilities. You can add those, but a problem I see from doing so is that you'd most likely have to make the effects relatively proprietary and hard for devs and modders to manipulate, in addition to likely keeping them locked away from players. 9:51: Do it! 12:50: He's trying his best, okay! /s 14:55: He also has an actual weapon. 15:32: Due to the mechanics of the game, poisons are applied to the *bow* , rather than to the arrow. It makes little sense, but it's probably the easiest way they could make it work. 22:20: I have to say, I really like how you're working on some long-neglected skills. It's a far cry from when you said there's no chance of that earlier in the series. 28:41: I wonder how the "death" of Daedric plants works, given the absence/different nature of such a process for Daedric animals. It's actually a very interesting question. 29:32: I still think you should do them, though. 30:59: You have the Summon Ancestral Guardian Racial Power, but as that can only be cast once per day it's anything but reliable. 31:09: That begs the question, are you summoning the same Daedra or are you getting a different one every time? I would assume the latter for most summons, but the implications for the former are interesting. On the one hand, it's nice to think you can buddy up and develop a bond with the same entity over time after repeated adventures together. That said, it must *suck* to be a Scamp and have a brief reprieve from combat only to be immediately teleported back and made to fight a Daedric Death Overlord Titan Supreme! 31:45: Eww, I'm just imagining hanging on to the thing... 32:03: Given how Daedric entities work, it is totally possible that that lever has its own Vestige, and is thus in itself technically alive. 32:52: You'll get to see a lot more about how the group treats "its own" later. 34:38: Question: Is your Difficulty still set at the middle? I just want to make sure it hasn't been accidentally bumped. 38:16: England is canon in the Elder Scrolls universe?!?!?! /s 39:59: That's not really the same as "real difficulty", as all it does is increase the damage of enemies and decrease it for the player. It can still make the experience more enjoyable, though. 41:51: You want to play the game in as neutral and untouched a state as possible so you can fairly evaluate it. Makes total sense. 44:56: I believe you can add a third ingredient to get Damage Magicka as well. 45:16: You're Canadian, it's a genetic thing. /s 45:50: Fantastic segway!
3:50: I'll let you figure that out as you go on. 7:23: I will remain silent on that as well. ;) 12:35: "Dispel Negative Effect" might be a much better Spell Effect to have in the game, but it would probably be considered too overpowered. 14:22: Doesn't it just feel fantastic when you get a strategy down for dealing with an enemy? 19:25: That's not how it works, unfortunately. :P 22:56: I'm pretty sure the Shrine to Malacath has bedrolls. 32:43: Translation: "I killed these people just because I wanted to walk a shorter distance to a bed." 34:16: I'd get some Repair Hammers if I were you, but sure. 37:11: I think that you're perfectly allowed to take the Alchemy Apparatuses at at least some Mages Guild locations provided you're a member. 42:36: I'd actually like to check if that's true.
I was getting some deja vu listening to that script... Apparently, it can be found as a regular book outside this quest in Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. That explains it. I must have read it in one of the other games. I'm impressed you managed to remember all the lines. I wonder what would happen if you got them wrong? :P
4:00: The fact that arrows in Oblivion act somewhat more like bottle rockets or oversized NERF darts than actual arrows is still amusing, albeit a bit immersion breaking. 4:53: "Damage spongy" may be a more general alternative. 5:35: 👍 8:25: Speciesism. Dogs are "companion animals" while rats generally aren't, despite their comparable cognitive abilities. 10:45: Orbital rockets, perhaps? What do you think about the feasibility of the UR-700 design vis-a-vis the Soviet crewed lunar efforts? Do you think that either the Ariane 6 or the Vulcan have a chance to compete in the launch market with the Falcon 9 FT? /s 12:00: This dungeon actually links to a quest you can pick up at the Arena, and they give a relatively decent reason why you have to have a key to access that area. Whether or not you do the quest is your call, as it is one of the few quests in the game which cannot be completed after a given point. I won't say much about it, other than that (in my personal experience) while it allows you to 100% the game, it sometimes leaves you wishing you hadn't. D; 19:34: I know it's a result of both technical limitations and deliberate design decisions, but it's always strange to me when I hear people in games who are moments away from death act like they're just fine. 23:20: It could be that she's using Detect Life spells, which would be amazing if true, but I somewhat doubt the AI is that capable. 26:31: WHOOOO!!! 32:15: That was the most exhilarating fight I've seen in a long time! BTW, I absolutely love seeing you all pumped up like this! 34:23: I would've repaired your bows before attempting to get some extra juice out of that other cuirass. 35:57: There was also that final area at the end of Bloodmoon's Main Questline that was really intense. I don't know which was recorded first. 37:52: Given that they were vampires, they may not have had conventional sleeping arrangements. 42:38: For that question, I'd recommend you talk to the Prophet in Anvil. ;) I have to say, this was fantastic episode!
Lol, once again, TES being TES ruined Azura's poignant speech at the end. "He shed his mortality long a-" "iT's A sCrIbBy TrIcK, aLl RiGht!" 😂 So, Helseth wasn't the villain after all... or was he?
Oh, Sotha Sil's Clockwork City! I had heard a lot about it, so it's nice to finally see what it looks like. OK, apparently it's sorta like a typical dungeon. :P Still, pretty cool to see.
19:18 I think that's because when you're new to the game, why wouldn't you want to be a jack of all trades? Why restrict yourself? When you're trying things out, it's much more fun to play a versatile character. But if you want to roleplay or re-experience the games from a different perspective, then trying a different playstyle can be a good way to keep things fresh.
Just got this game from steam m y problem so far is I can't swing my sword.I've tried just holding rmb,nothing clicking furiously same thing,I even remapped to lmb, nothing happens.Please help.TY
5:53: That's one of the little quality of life things that could really be improved with just a little more code. Also, I've seen a campaign of Skyrim where the player imposed the restrictions of no physical weapons and no directly offensive spells, but not something like what you're proposing. 8:20: Yes, unfortunately. Though @Giggleomaniac noted that Allies for Bruma is optional (and it is), I'd still strongly advise completing it, as several notable characters have their Essential status revoked right before the upcoming Battle for Bruma and filling the battlefield with stronger disposable meat shields at least marginally increases their odds of survival. 10:45: It's kinda strange that there's a Bound Bow, but no "Bound Quiver" to pair it with. It was only implemented with a Creation Club Creation in 2017 for Skyrim. 14:04: I'm surprised as well. You have Sneak at 100, but I recall you having trouble even with that and this Chameleon spell when you were infiltrating the Mythic Dawn. 17:06: Well, I'm greatly enjoying your experience with it thus far! 21:23: That reversal of feelings is precious! 24:07: I'd honestly love that! 27:50: I think the trap was bugged and played the sound and effects of its' firing without it actually firing. 28:47: Fashion Time with Alexis! 29:55: That's because you left the Skeleton Key at home. 33:09: I believe the reason why the cave is abandoned is because it is linked to a future quest. 33:37: I'm pretty sure you can in Daggerfall. 34:52: In my opinion, it really does. :/ 36:34: LOL. 40:03: I'm really glad that you're rediscovering all that! Hope that continues!
1:32 Not that I was expecting it, but it's a little disappointing that you can't actually, y'know, play the game... But I guess this ain't The Witcher or Kingdom Come: Deliverance, unfortunately... Oh well, I can still use my imagination. :P
Do everything without any gear? lol Yes, I was contemplating that on my playthroughs of Oblivion and Skyrim as well, but I never tried it. For every quest and every dungeon just use what you find on the way. That sounds like a fantastic challange.
3:35: "We wanted to give our NPCs realistic schedules so they reflect real people." The schedules in question: ^ 5:26: There are weather stations relatively close to where my parents live, but that doesn't stop me from operating my own personal weather station there. You can even discover some new things that way, especially with regards to the relationship between data and personal experience. 5:57: You say, as Alexis is clearly humping the table. XD 9:47: I'm not sure your Athletics skill increases when you're completely stopped by a wall. There has to be something finicky that allows you to move a bit AFAIK. 15:41: After a certain point in the Main Questline, all Mythic Dawn agents in the cities will attack you on sight. 17:06: Your Security actually *isn't* maxed. It only appears as such because you have the Skeleton Key, and can in fact continue to increase. 21:14: I'd also like to know how they did that in real life. 22:13: _There_ you go! 24:05: Makes total sense. 24:33: IDK, maybe the painting got caught on something? 24:51: It's true that the game doesn't give iron-clad evidence of guilt in this quest. While a bit questionable, I actually think this is a good approach (given the Quest Marker-based approach Bethesda used in this game) to prevent the quest from becoming too formulaic and allow players to craft their own narratives of what happened. Additionally, in real criminal cases often not all of the evidence needed can be found on the scene due to intentional disposal by the perpetrator, the ablative effects of the environment, etc. 26:45: It is kind of a strange motive. It's not uncommon for artists to develop distain for those who obsess over one of their works to the exclusion of their other and more current talents%, but this isn't that. It's as if someone in 1964 became jealous of Joe DiMaggio for giving attention to a portrait of Marilyn Monroe they painted for him and stealing it back instead of just painting another one. It can be inferred that Chanel was probably not in the most rational mental state at the time, but I still think the quest would have been better written if they used something like the former motive I brought up as the explanation, and that better evidence was chosen by the devs. 31:29: It's a shame there isn't a Blind effect in this game. 31:57: Neither. It showed up at some point before in the Main Questine. 33:08: You could try using the Boots of Springheel Jak... 37:10: Aundae is one of the Vampire Clans in Morrowind. I believe it is also the one you joined. 38:35: You can open the cage with the other switch on that level. 39:13: Not even all of the Deadlands are. There are parts of it which are (as indicated in the names) swamped by cataclysmic tsunamis, or experience other types of rapidly shifting violent phenomena on the daily. ESO takes some more care to represent this in its Deadlands Zone, but its interpretation IMO is still lackluster. 40:27: "Wastes of Oblivion" is just the general term for the exterior cell of each Deadlands world in-game. It doesn't mean they go to the exact same spot. 50:31: There is an official Skyrim VR, but not anything official for Oblivion, unfortunately. %: To give a few examples, Pyotr Tchaikovsky became seriously depressed in his later years in part as he resented his association with the 1812 Overture, which he considered crude and lowest-common-denominator, while Gustav Holst openly refused to compose a new section of his Planets suite when Pluto was discovered as he felt that the work took away attention from his other compositions.
You know, when meeting such an important character like Barenziah, I was really hoping you'd grill her, exhaust all conversation options... But I guess that gives me more reasons to go and play it myself. :P
Well it's pretty easy to thing it is food and drink spills instead of paint, it even kind of matches with the apples and pumpkin. Also, you can in fact jump past gates in Oblivion with high athletics.
That dog actually have a name - it's Dogmeat. He joins you because you were wearing Leather Jacket, so you reminded him his previous owner. You can get info about his owner if you talk with Phil before dog joined. But if you still wearing that Leather Jacket from Vault 15, dog joins automatically and all that story is lost. And yah, it's very tricky to keep him alive in end-game.
0:36: BASED! 2:41: Seriously, who looks at that name and pronounces it "Channel"? 3:59: Canonical name. 5:13: With that mouth he looks sort of like a whitened racist caricature of a Black person. 6:19: This was a different story to what she told you. That probably counts towards evidence. 6:39: AFAIK, no. (8:50: Apparently, I'm at least partially incorrect.) 7:49: Oooh, timestamps! My favorite! 8:23: Side note, the history and development of fingerprinting techniques is quite interesting. ... It also (at least in the US) was and still is in many jurisdictions based on foundationally non-scientific principles. 8:35: I doubt it is technology so much as lack of need. There are probably magical techniques that do better there, or at least were identified first. 10:18: OMG, IS THAT A KSP REFERENCE!?!?! /s 16:02: It could be the Guards that are doing that too. 16:38: Nice inference work! 17:54: All that drinking hasn't done favors to either his brain or eyes, it seems. 26:25: LOL. 28:45: Hmmm... 🤔 29:37: Easier said than done, given Oblivion's physics.
Ha! Gwen's opening sing-a-long reminds me of the first few times I heard a Morrowind NPC saying, "Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, DIRT! Everywhere dirt!" and thinking at first she was doing a Beavis & Butt-Head-like guitar riff.
