Ahhh, Oblivion, the game that heard it could be anything it wanted to be, so decided to be a potato. But of course, the real question as always is: can you beat Oblivion with poison only?
(yes of course, this is just for entertainment purposes)

  • "I am using mods to fix bugs but nothing that alters the core gameplay." I dunno bugs seem pretty core to bethesda games..
  • @TheBacklogs
    Oh, dang, I love Two Worlds! Nice choice! (nicely done, loved the Baron's Castle rendition of the main theme 👌)
  • @zacclark5945
    When I was a kid, I would refer to the poisons in this game as "Orc Potions" as hitting an enemy with one turns them green. We would always joke about turning all of Cyrodiil into Orcs. This video brought back good memories. Thank you!
  • Isnt it weird that with fixing faces mod, Baurus and Jauffre dont look "normal" to me anymore? I got used to potato faces!
  • @DoomWolfOfficial
    Every time I see an Oblivion video I always want to load it up and remember the good ol days, but every time I do, I just listen to the banger main theme, make a character, leave tutorial jail, and shut it off. great video! :)
  • @teldarin7557
    Man, to this day, the track you used for the transitions gives me chills down my spine. Such a creepy theme. I remember how much I suffered in every dungeon this was in, back when I was a lot younger and was first playing the game.

    This is why we press the silly bell icon

    NotAPoisoner rocking up to the alchemists like DO YOU DO POISON

    Technically by using yourself as a lure to lead the bandits to an ambush by the guards, you are risking your own life to help them get rid of bandits that would normally be a relatively dangerous force.
  • 1:39 "I would need more poisons and potions to achieve the same result on higher difficulty" You actually wouldn't! The way difficulty works in Oblivion is to apply a percentage modifier to the amount of damage you deal to enemies and enemies deal to you, and because of the way poisons are coded to apply their effects, the difficulty modifier isn't applied to them. This makes poisons one of the VERY few options to deal decent amounts of damage on max difficulty settings.

    "Wow, you guys really love Dagon, huh?" I don't blame them, Dagon is a pretty good story. Lovecraft had some talent.
  • @girafarig7859
    That acapella oblivion theme went harder than necessary
  • I always love the music you do for the parts, it was fantastic in the skyrim poison one and again is wonderful here! never stop doing that, it's such a unique charm

    11:11 The Gothic soundtrack hit me like a truck. Safe to say I wasn't ready to go on a nostalgia trip but here we are.
  • @supercellodude
    Poison only in Morrowind would effectively be magic only since I don't think there is zero physical damage melee or ranged ammo. Also, both Daedra and Sixth House member can sport some reflect magic innately even if you weaken their resistance to poison damage. You'll probably want to take a character with poison resistance (Argonian or Redguard iirc) along with Alchemy as a major skill to make restore magicka potions.
  • @eltylerderden388
    I can't help but think the better npc faces look uncanny I always expect the original potato texture
