As a skooma addict of all 3 games and disciple of Caius Cosades in all things related to skooma and skooma accessories I can confirm this is accurate. Morrowind Skooma is the best skooma you going to find outside of Elsweyr, Cyrodiil not quite as strong but good. Skyrim skooma is just khajiit piss that is sold as skooma. Not even worth the effort of smoking it.
@@Grimmssleepytales Still weaker than Morrowind skooma or Oblivion skooma. Just face it. For all their talk Nords just can't handle their drugs like the Dunmer or Imperials can and the Khajiit and Argonians put them all to shame.
No joke, I didn't know the devs went the extra mile in Morrowind by having the storekeepers to actually refuse to do business with you if you have even a single bottle of Skooma. It's just odd that they won't mind if you have a Skooma pipe, though. Edit: I don't know where it started, but now the comments are filled with discussions of weed and water pipes now
Oblivion handled Skooma the most realistically. Yes everyone will sale it, doesn’t matter what you look like, you got cash any self respecting human who don’t do the junk isn’t gonna sale it for good money. Unless they dumb and an insult to humanity.
That is skyrim skooma the nords can't handle the real stuff so the kajite use their body as a filter for it then water it down before selling what comes out.
Well... can't keep the product moving if your clients can't afford it... can you =/? though my theory is that Skyrim Skooma is either made by non-experienced chemists that don't know what they doing, or is watered down in order to save on production costs (while still being additictive to keep people coming back)... or maybe the supply line is not as good and skooma labs are using cheaper knock-offs... or maybe they ARE using the same/right ingredients... but there's something on the enviroment that is dampening the quality =/
I remember mass duplicating skooma in oblivion and chugging hundreds with the mod that removes stack limits. I ran so fast the graphics blurred and my game crashed.
@@RandyOrlok I really wish I would have had a screen capture card at the time, because my friend Robert and I laughed for about 20 minutes after the game crashed, it was so silly looking.
I remember being a kid playing Oblivion one time in 2005 dupe glitching skooma and using the paint brush glitch to climb on top of buildings drink dozens of bottles of skooma and proceed to jump 15 feet in the air building to building in Bruma wearing nothing but the gray fox cowl laughing my ass off watching everyone chase me. Oblivion skooma was the shit.
Morrowind: Skooma is expensive and it's pros are compensated by cons, it's overall annoyance to carry one in inventory. Oblivion: Skooma is strong boost which causes (semi) permanent brain damage with every sip, quests get you through a lot of people's stories revolving around skooma, most of them are shady or tragic. Skyrim: To prevent people from using skooma, we turned it into harmless energy drink. Now you can't even believe that stuff is dangerous unless you've come loaded with lore and stories from previous games. Also try our Skooma vanilla, skooma feihoa and skooma mango!
@@seronymus Then buy a mango, give it a mash, thin it a bit with apple or orange juice, then add it in your skooma. Keep going until you are satisfied with result. Seriously, people, you'd do anything to taste mango without eating the damn mango.
I can’t explain how disappointed I was to take Skyrim Skooma and…nothing happened. No buffs, no debuffs, not even a fun hallucinations or anything. It’s just a stamina potion. And not even a strong one. Todd Harrow, you spineless hack. LET US BECOME DRUG ADDICTS, DAMMIT, YOU WERE FINE WITH IT IN FALLOUT
Skooma in Oblivion was the exactly medieval/magician version of Psycho from Fallout for meele builds. With one sip you feel like you could enter in Shivering Isles and break the Gatekeeper in two, with your bare hands
redwater den, you're thinking of. home to two different quests, one from the base game and one from the expansion. i won't spoil anything if you haven't played that far or dlc but it's basically a den of skooma addicts with a direct character reference to the beginning of the game. it has so much lore for such a basic, out of the way place that practically everyone encounters on their playlist. the neutral/friendly bandits that were uniquely named alerted me first playthrough that something was off - then, the mystery was on.
@@LK-em1bv i remember the skooma den in i think leyawiin it was, whatever swamp city, that had two characters bugged to it that had the script role to enter but not the key (or vice versa i don't remember) so they, skooma addicts with the unique skooma animation (it plays during dialogue, only animation to, outside of console commands) stay locked outside the den, endlessly trying to enter while gulping down skooma. what a way to live.
If you find red coolaid with ribcages floating in it in the Redwater Skooma Den’s basement, make sure to drink it. There is no quicker way to Lord Peryite and Molag Bal’s hearts.
@@death_witch Morrowind guards finding buck naked dead body with 26 stab wounds from daedric wakizashi (not present) and stack of moon sugar: "Well look at that, another crazy crackhead suicide, this stuff ruins people's lives." Also, i haven't searched/played any TES game in a while, just downloaded Oblivion on Steam and this video suddenly pops in my recomendations usually filled almost exclusively with movie reviews, cooking tutorials, firearms, naval warfare and Sonic the Hedgehog? Talk about spying, RU-vid...
The Dunmer of the Gray Quarter: You call that Skooma? PFWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAA... haa... Oh, you're serious? Man we really ought to get you a boat to Morrowind, that spiked water isn't gonna do it.
Honestly they coulda hand waved it by like; Nord: "What do you have there? Skooma? Let me take a swig eh. . . . tastes like horse piss, here a real drink, dragon blood wine mixed with death root! Just like ma use to make."
Nothing like waking up and walking around the beautiful marshes, chugging 56 bottles of skooma and taking one step and accidentally running so fast you hit a wall at 300 miles per second and dying instantly
You ever gone to Sadrith Mora's Imperial Chapel, bought an infinite supply of Ash Yams + Netch Leather to abuse the Fortify Intelligence feedback loop.... gone up to around 10,000,000 Intelligence... then eaten... 1 Moon Sugar. Basically you attain Omnipresence. You move so fast you glitch out of the entire game world by several orders of magnitude and the game crashes.

I remember that time I went to do drugs in Skyrim and ended up a prisoner in an underground vampire skooma cartel and only escaped after contracting every disease known to man from a spring of blood I accidentally drank from. Not even once kids.
Still remember the first time I found some skoomas in skyrim. "Holy shit, i wonder if it has any cool buff / debuff. Wait, this shit only restore 25 stamina ?" Lmao even a random stamina potion I made while grinding for alchemy has x3 more effect than that. If you're so lazy atleast copy paste the sleeping tree-sap and put the word skooma on it ffs.
Oblivion skooma: Meth cut with crack Skyrim skooma: weak stamina potion Oblivion & Skyrim drinks: even worse stamina potions Morrowind skooma: DMT cut with raw CHIM and strong gasoline. Who cares about brain damage when you can break from the planet’s orbit in a single jump? Morrowind Sujamma: PCP cut with growth hormones so powerful that you charge silt striders for rides on YOUR back! I love me some skooma, but Sujamma brewers don’t get enough credit for that constant supply of OOMPH!🙏
skooma in oblivion was DEFINITELY dupe-worthy. remember, get two of the same scroll, double click a on it, then go drop the skooma. if not on xbox, double click whatever button you use to pick stuff up off the ground. x on playstation, etc.
I remember there was a different glitch bro duplicate items using arrows and it would spawn as many of that item as you had that arrow equipped. I don't remember for sure if this was the exact process, but I think it went something like notching an arrow so that you'll fire it when you release the button, bring up your inventory and then letting go of the button keeping your arrow drawn, drop the item you want more of, and when you close your inventory the arrow will fire and should hit the dropped item and spawn as many of that item as you have arrows equipped. You gotta be careful not to do too many though, because this could crash the game. Then again, I might be completely misremembering it. It's been over a decade since I've played it.
Some people say vroom vroom when they want to get moving. My character says skoom skoom. Now I ma imagining a high elf screaming skoom like and engine revving as he runs across cyrodiil at mach 5.
@@bazookallamaproductions5280 i keep 250 flax seeds and whatever healing lightweight alchemy ingredient I have on hand in case I need a truly ridiculous amount of magic and healing. Or when I feel like taking a victory lap swim in oblivion.
I'll never understand why they did that in Skyrim. The devs were like "Hey kids, who will play this game regardless of the rating and we know that, this is an extremely addictive and life altering substance similar to crack in real life. Go ahead and chug as many as you want, there are no repercussions!"
Yo.. That was mint.. That oblivion pop up at the end was hilarious so much I can't explain without using words that would make youtub delete my comment😂
Pretty sure some of the stuff that you can buy at every alchemist shop counts as that. Stamina potions? Mana potions? Stat boosting potions? Or just get the ingredients, brew some yourself, all perfectly legal and (presumably) taxed.
Thanks y’all but I mean non addictive drugs. Moon sugar is super addictive and the potions and ingredients don’t seem to get people high in lore I’ll keep reading though I’m sure we’ll find something
I don't know if id call Salvia easy going, maybe at low doses but whats the point when it lasts like 5min? last time I had Salvia it gave me a DMT like out of body experience to the point I forgot I was even a human. Same with mushrooms that stuff at a higher dose will put anyone on their ass.
@@chza1181 I have a mental health problem that makes me very paranoid while tripping so I can’t do stuff that lasts long like shrooms etc So I don’t trip very often at all, but when I do I only do low extract salvia I’ve never had a bad experience with it thankfully but I do know that it’s pretty notorious to a lot of people. We’ve all seen the videos am I right? I forget that sometimes and kind of talk about salvia like it’s only low grade I guess because I’m so used to my own choices I need to catch myself next time because you’re right that’s not a very accurate description of salvia The other hallucinogens I’ve tried are shrooms and angel trumpets. Every time I trip on something long term it starts out good, and then I start getting depressed and panicked. Mostly about time, but I never say to anyone, or know for myself why. Doctors have told me it’s just my mental health problems that make tripping for a long time a stressful thing instead of fun It’s kinda a bummer tbh because I wish I could try acid and all the fun stuff, but imma just be a huge buzzkill and be sad or paranoid and not shut up
Drinking about 50 bottles of skooma in oblivion turns you into a dragon ball z character with super jumps. Pretty sure I jumped from cloud ruler to bruma with the feather spell whilst under the influence of a lethal dosage of skooma. Literal crackhead energy
Skooma in Skyrim is supposed to be like opium. Go to Redwater Den and look at the setup. It's literally an opium den, with people nodding off in every booth. Why they made it restore stamina is beyond me.
The only reason that I can think off why skooma has no effect on you in skyrim is because of your dragon blood or something. In the other games you were basically a normal mortal, so skooma acts like it would in any normal being, but in skyrim you're a dragon in the body of a mortal, so it acts like it would in a dragon. That explains it in-game, irl the devs were probably lazy and didn't want you to fly around everywhere.
The khajiit were trying to go clean but knew that the nords would only want to buy skooma from them so they just marked various potions and stews as skooma and sold it
In Skyrim Requiem you can look sternly at a mudcrab, see your grimace reflection in the crab’s shell and die. It makes for really fun permanent death runs. Especially that room in Fellglow Keep with like 12 Slighted. Or the Slighted in the College of Winterhold Midden. Me: Repeatedly casting stoneflesh Slighted: Out of nowhere: “YOU MEET YOUR END, MORTAL” Me: Die from invisible sword blow by invisible demon
Oblivion : You can't drink more than 3 buff potions at a time Morrowind: buy out the entire stock of a bar. Drink it all at once and chase it with some skooma. Exit bar and 1 shot and ordinator's shield with an iron dagger.
The saddest part of this is the resale value, I played oblivion first and there skooma is pretty darn expensive compared to other potions. In Skyrim I found the guy selling skooma pretty early on and was like "oh boy, Gimme that or die!" I saw the resale value and cried for 20 minutes.
Merchant: I'm not going to buy that skooma from you. Get rid of it and we can do business. Me: How do you know, can you smell it on me? Merchant: *looks stern* Me: Ok fine *down's all the skooma* Lets do business
Skyrim NPCs who are addicted to Skooma are like people in real life who are like "OMG, I'm addicted to Diet Coke!" No bitch, you're addicted to attention, and I'm not an enabler.
I remember playing oblivion on my PS3 and there was duplication glitch if you had two of the same spell scrolls you could duplicate things and I duplicate loads of bottles of Skooma and drink 30 my character would become the flash and run allover the map at super speed
I dunno I wanted to make a mod where you start as a skooma adict and you have to do stuff to get you fix I.e work or kill the dealer. Imagine if Bethesda let you have the freedom to become a skooma addict that would be amazing
I wish skooma had effects like fallout 4 drugs like jet and the like, id wanna see skooma give you a mad high and buffs for a minute or 5 but THEN you get hit by the hangover/withdrawal major debuffs
I thought this would be dumb, but NOPE. so damn true. Skooma in Oblivion vs Skyrim is SO jarring. I still remember the dark brotherhood quest to kill the skooma addicted elf in the Imperial City, and holy shit that dude was just straight up a crack addict 😂
When you're over encumbered as a thief in Oblivion but you got 3 hits of skooma in your pocket so not only can you make it out of there but you can also make it out of there with twice your carry weight worth of extra stuff The mad dash you make out of the front door to the nearest fence before the stuff wears off screaming "THIS SHIT AIN'T NOTHING TO ME! I AM A DEMOOOOOOON!"
I remember my dissapointment when i first played Skyrim. Killed a bandit and found some skooma on him,"holy shit this is gonna be fun"... It's a stamina potion...The shit that gave your character permanent brain damage in Oblivion has been turned into a fucking stamina potion with no negative effects...What the hell?????
