Oblivion's Horror Mod! (Gates to Aesgaard) 

Guys, the agoraphobia thing is a joke. I thought I made that pretty obvious but

Yup, no shame in decreasing the difficulty, it's oblivion after all

Agoraphobia warning for spiders, they will drag you out of your house and force you to socialize

I was actually really scared playing Oblivion as a kid. I remember crawling through some ruins and seeing headless bodies just standing there, in the fog. And every time the eerie ambient switched to combat music i would frantically look around, wondering what noticed me. Difficulty scaling didn't help either, since all of the enemies were really strong.

Oblivion sound effects are somehow super satisfying to me

2:17 "He just coughed in my face" 2:18 *leaves immediately* What a mood lol

Oblivion faces are all the horror I need

So THIS is what actually happened at the chapel at Anvil

How do you make Oblivion scary? Dude...The Glarthir questline turns it into a survival horror game. Not to mention Hackdirt

Man the mod community just doesn't let this game die

A big problem with horror mods in general is that the game engine already feels really familiar and you more or less know the possibilities, the option of quick saves is a big comfort also, even if you don't use it

Take a shot every time he pronounces arachnophobia as agoraphobia

The oblivion conversation zoom + mannimarcos face is horror enough for me

"I can hear screams of agony. We must be in Dublin"

I remember an old horror mod for oblivion called "The Dungeons of Ivellon" made around 2007 or so.

You really should try out The Dungeons Of Ivellon mod for Oblivion, if you haven't already. Even after all this years this shit still comes out as breathtakingly interesting and not a bit less spooky.

Don't feel bad about lowering difficulty. When you are an adult with limited time for leisure, sometimes you just want to experience a game without spending 30 minutes on a single spongy enemy. I hate it when the difficulty setting in games is "let's waste your time by increasing enemy health" rather than actually making the AI craftier and more fun to play against.

This mods sequel is way bigger in scope, I never got around to finishing it because my Oblivion setup at the time was less stable than a three legged horse with parkinsons but from what I remember it's worth checking out.

This mod is like one of those feverdreams you get while you’re a Vampire lmao

"Silent Holes" is the silent hill themed soft core porn we never knew we wanted

Oblivion mods just have a certain charm about them that cannot be replicated

”I can hear screams of agony. We must be in Dublin.” 🤣👍

respect for actually showing the easy mode toggle; whilst everybody else would have just cut to the villian falling

Morrowind's horror mod: Cliff racers have infinite aggro range and have 10x increased spawnrate.

''Two battletoads'' is one underated reference if I've ever seen one

Still think the Quest in Oblivion that scared me most when I first played was when you are sucked into the painting and have to fight paint trolls, seeing the muddled paint world around you without any knowledge what a paint troll looks like, it was creepy when they suddenly appear. This looks like a pretty good mod though :) I had fun watching.

Oblivion used to scare the hell out of me as a kid. It's so dark, it's easy to get jumpscared.

"I cant imagine oblivion being scary". * flashbacks to Shadows over Hackdirt quest* ...yeah me neither...

To be fair the first horror experience I got in this game was seeing the khajiit face for the first time and trying to play with the sliders to make it look better

Thanks to the Russian gaming magazines for putting it on their DVDs at the time (and I think even translated it).That's how many of us got acquainted with this mod! (Спасибо русским игровым журналам за то,что выкладывали его на своих DVD в своё время(и помоему,даже переводили его).Так у нас многие и познакомились с этим модом!)

For Halloween/Horror mods for oblivion I would recommend "The Oubliette" which is available over at TES Alliance or "The Darkness of Castle Hei Li" over at the Oblvion Nexusmods.

19:35 the horror mod was, like: "Welcome to Australia bro"

Level scaling and having to fuck with the difficulty slider is one of the things that makes me reluctant to replay Oblivion.

If the level scaling in Oblivion bothers you then try one of the overhaul mods. Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul is generally te more popular one and highly recommended, it really does make the game pretty great. I prefer it to Skyrim.

I love these videos so much, the combo of your commentary and these janky mods makes me so happy.

Can't wait for him to descend into madness just like in the Morrowind horror mod

Kudos for covering this, it's my all time favorite Oblivion mod. It's so fucking good and really blew my mind when I first gave it a spin all those years ago. To me, this is the Vigilant of Oblivion.

Micky D, if you want Oblivion Horror Mods you can´t skip "Dungeons of ivellon". It´s legitimately well made, both from a horror and a gameplay perspective. Absolutely try it. IIRC ressources are scarce, rewards are meaningful, the level and enemy design is great and the atmosphere and the horror quite spooky at times. I don´t want to bash any modders work, but quality wise it´s on another level, compared to this mod, for example.

There is actually a mod that fixes the level scaling in oblivion for the record

I listen to this video when I was in the shower, 10/10 best shower video channel

I love this mod! It's one of the best quality crafted mods I used to play back in the day. Used to spook the ever living crap out of me, which is something to be said since there's a lot of spooky stuff already in Oblivion. If you like Oblivion, play this mod but make sure you're prepared!

Oblivion is like an Anime interpretation of a horror movie

Nah you're right about Frostcrag Spire, it feels like one of those tasteless over-the-top mod homes.

Oh man, I remember playing this mod back in the day! I loved this one so much, and the second chapter was very good as well! The same mod author also released a playable resource called The Lost Province of Zedar which was designed to fit into the lore of the Gates to Aesgaard mods. It's not complete (to my recollection) but might be fun to explore for a video since there's plenty of locations, NPCs, and enemies. If you're looking for a couple of other horror mods, I highly recommend The Dungeons of Ivellon, The Oubliette, tdas Pyramid Head Mod and WilliamSea's Haunted House. There was also a massive german gameplay overhaul by Eddy Kaschinski called Oblivion War Cry - New Dimension (english translation is hard to come by nowadays since Phinix deleted their mods from the Nexus but I've still got the EV) which had slasher movie bosses you could fight like Leatherface and Jason Voorhees. I remember the Freddy Kruger one in the Wawnet Inn being pretty fun. It adds a LOT to the game though (takes an unleveled approach to level-scaling for instance which can be pretty fun and unpredictable). The installation process is a little complicated since some of the Menus are in German and you have to remove them manually for them to appear in English (I started to translate those myself but I haven't finished it yet). Excellent if you bare through it though!

The Lucien Lachance puns with the hanging corpses 😂

This is the content we need, always makes my day! 🙂

I’m so excited you brought me to my safe place… oblivion lov you vids to

I asked for Oblivion Horror, you promised it, and you delivered. Great video. I can’t wait for more and Skyrim horror too. You got yourself a sub

Micky on that grind

Lol the commentary in this is just priceless! This is the second time watching this video because the commentary makes me legit laugh out loud

I'm not usually one for commentary during a playthrough but you're a rare exception. Also, I love that you're featuring stuff from TES IV: Oblivion too. Silly as it is, while Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game, I recently got into Oblivion and I'm loving it.

12:55 That was a tutorial chest. You could tell by the contents. And also the dialog popping up. lol

Thank you algorithm, this is what I needed today

Always enjoy your videos, dude! Thanks for making me laugh along. :)

Loved this mod. This was one of the first quest mods Id ever played. I'd really love to see him try *The Lost Spires.* That one blew me away back then.

iirc there's a mod for Skyrim that turns the game into Medievil from the PS1, might be a fun one to try?

Love your content hilarious keep it up

I think you would enjoy the Vigilant mod for skyrim. It is a horror mod but becomes dark souls partway through.

2:16 *you have contracted covid*

The Fog=Silent Hill thing is basically an unwritten law now, and it saddens me that there is a portion of the population that will think of the films or post-SH4 games instead of SH1-4.

you're literally my favourite youtuber

Wow a lot of work went into this mod. Nicely done

ooo that AVGN reference at 25.18 -- love it

12:09 notice how all of the stairs have a landing at the end. This goes to show these monsters have respect for safety standards!

Oh hell yeah can't wait to watch this in my basement when I get off from work!!!!

Holy shit I subbed at like 5k and you’re already nearly at 110k??? Bloody hell good job

cannot believe you scared me with ray william johnsons face

Mike, you and your channel have made my life a lot better recently. It may sound silly but I dunno where I'd be without you, my friend. Keep being you.. and I truly believe you are one of the best RU-vidrs out there.

Very cool Video, i really like your Oblivion content keep it up

There is a house mod for Skyrim called Clockwork, I know I know just hear me out... the beginning is pretty dang spooky.

16:06 "No! I spilled the ink. There's not much more in the well, and I have more to tell you. I have to warn you.... Too bad I just wasted a bunch of ink telling you about how I spilled the ink and there's not much left! Oh, there I go again!"

"I like argonians they're cool" *subscribes*

Mr D has uploaded time to sell the kids

2:16 that's the scariest part. Getting the rona.

you should play clockwork for skyrim if you havent already its pretty good

Damn Lucien Lachance stalking photobombombing every scene.

I have agoraphobia, but that means anxiety and panic attacks when i feel overwhelmed by a place or crowd surrounding me. Usually in specific places for me, like stores, malls, things like that. Arachnophobia is the word you were thinkin of, a fear of spiders. Thats something i dont have, but my gf totally does lol ^^

Liked for the simple phrase "people like you if you have a high personality -'people like you if you're not a prick'" 🤣

i'd be extremely honored to have a micky D seal of approval on my game

2:30 An EXCELLENT letter - Chef Excellence

“‘Silent Holes,’ the ultimate adult crossover of Silent Hill and Dark Souls!”

O man I have to reinstall Oblivion and mod the sh** out of it. For me this game is the perfect hybrid between morrowind and skyrim. It also has the most beautiful landscape of all elder srolls.

WOW I played this wayyyy back in the day circa 2008ish. Great quest.

Ghoulettes is now an official word in my books!

I want to scream for icecream too, nice vid

Horror is hard in oblivion because the game is so cheery. Though there is some "horror" in the game, mainly the aelid ruins since you change from this bright colored overworld to those grayish ruins only lit with eerie blue lights.

There's an Oblivion horror mod on ModDB that's called The Haunted House

An ad for Cookie Run came on during the first cut scene. It was terrifying. I'm spooked. 💀

You should do Chapter 2. I liked watching you go through this and it was pretty cool to see what they came up with. :)

Yeah I hate how spongy enemies become in oblivion. I do still like its combat the best out of all the "3D" elder scrolls games; it's very "snappy." Skyrim is clumsy and slow, Morrowind is...Morrowind, but Oblivion feels pretty quick and crisp, especially blocking. Gets even better with some proper rebalance mods.

Game of my youth glad too see it going strong 😄

" I hope there are no spongy enemies here." I've played this mod and... LOOOLLL.

"Do you have Battle Toads?" This guy memes.

Me trying to read the letter:🤓 Mick being to cool for school: Fuck reading 😎😎 Me: 🤡🤡

Luv your videos!

The Gilded Giraffe is my favorite shop

I love how almost every video, no matter the elder scrolls game, mod or whatever usually starts with: "Oh well, better get some potions"

Dude I remember this mod! It was so great.

Oh yeah, I always have an amulet with light or nighteye on it in Oblivion. Takes all the trouble out of Oblivion’s dark rooms.

12:23 ah yes an avid jamiroquai enjoyer I see.
