Can you beat max difficulty Oblivion at level 1?

Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion - Todd Howards Revengeance is a perfect showcase of refining RPG difficulty in a video game. Who cares about A.I., who cares about enemy tactics or equipment, who cares about all of this stupid "fair difficulty" when we can just increase the enemy health by like a quadrillion. Go get 'em champ!
Also I gotta talk about how cool my naming scheme was as a kid. SupperMan, Dark Wizard, TheGuyFromKMart, my first online alias of "Davidstever" was made because I was convinced that if I put my real name on World of Warcraft I would get killed by predators because my dad introduced me to the internet when I was like, 2. And who woulda guessed, internet safety classes had a big no-no on using your real name so I went "Fack you predators, you will never find me now!" and changed one letter of my middle name. I then got a spam message telling me that my account would be deleted if I didn't visit a totally authentic link and I cried for 10 minutes.

I thought I left this pin already, but in case you missed it (or are just new here), I decided to revisit this run with level one stats while setting my level to a very casual 255. Goblins had tens of thousands of HP while my highest damaging weapon did about four points of damage, so I did what anyone would naturally do in this scenario; I formed a legion of mercenaries, misfits and goons to destroy everyone in my warpath. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nK-Voqyju9zTc30.htmlsi=WXqiRLUtJu1bITz2

Short answer before even watching the video: Yes. You can level up your skills without levelling up your character, and the enemies only scale with your level, not with your skills. And so, not only is it possible to beat Oblivion at max difficulty at level 1, it's actually easier than beating it normally on max difficulty because you can raise all your skills to 100 and have the power of a max level character while the enemies are all only intended to be beaten by a level 1 character. Now try this on Morrowind. I guarantee you will have a much harder time. Sure, you can also level up your skills without levelling up your character, but that doesn't actually make the game easier in Morrowind because there is no level scaling in Morrowind. Therefore, all you accomplish by remaining level 1 is that you've kneecapped your stats.

Commenting before I watch. Oblivion is notorious for its level scaling, including with equipment, so I expect being Level 1 will make things ease up a bit. Plus, most Elder Scrolls stuff is based in combat, a lot of which can be cheesed to the point that many difficult battles become matters of patience where the foe's stats hardly matter.

Sure you can’t get your hands on high level loot such as the mundane ring which would have been great and made a Breton the best class but the more you increase skills, the easier it is to play. You start out and it’s insanely difficult but it soon becomes a cakewalk.

I was always wondering about this, since I first started this game in 2006. At no point during that time, having the game on the 360, did I ever feel like max difficulty was "possible". Even through normal leveling. The tutorial dungeon was functionally impossible, any dungeon at any level felt impossible, you just died. Lately I started a playthrough where i console'd myself to level 30 at the beginning, so leveled stuff would be maxxed. Along with a mod to let me equip any number of non-duplicate vanilla-generated rings. I think I should restart that but with max difficulty. It'll make those dungeons really tricky, but REALLY worth it.

Before watching the video: if you never mention that poison damage ignores difficulty modifiers and is thus extremely broken for high difficulty, I will be sorely disappointed. Okay, you say that you aren't going to be using alchemy. I am waiting to be disappointed.

you can fill more grand soul gems by soul trapping and killing your own summons hard, on the hardest difficulty, but not impossible

Also on Clannfear vs Frost Atronach vs Daedroth. Clannfear is the most powerful out of a bunch, but the most fragile, though. If ge can approach the target, he can kill anyone but Storm Atronach, tho. Frosty is middle of a road. Not good at anything, but not bsd either. And Daedroth has fairly meh damage, but it's tanky and bulky.

Crazy not choosing The Lord as your birthsign. That healing spell can make you basically invincible for the whole game (at level 1) and the fire weakness would be balanced by the dark elf resistance

I enjoy these type of "Can you beat oblivion X" type videos but i see a lot of people saying its actually easier at level 1, which is true, but if you want a real challenge at level one, there are a few static leveled enemies, umbra of course but also the lich of lost boy cavern, id say give him a shot

FWIW, in Skyrim the High Elf woman who stops you entering the guild calls it "Atro-knock". So..... eh.

No no, you were right with the gay sub thing. I mean, in this case the sub is a bear and the dom is a twink so the sizes are reversed, but you're right.

My favorite thing to do was fill the basement of my house with every bone, mort flesh and other body part I could find. Eventually got to the point where my PS3 would crash if I went into that room.
