Hey so I did do a bit of a goof here, the Ayleid Crown of Lindai and hence Umbacano/Claude are both unrelated to Knights of the Nine. I'll be honest despite how cool their lore is Oblivion just ran with it's copy and pasted Ayleid Ruins so I must have crossed a wire there that wasn't right. When you find dozens of them on the open world and they're filled with bandit camps, random generic enemies, and sometimes necromancers/vampires, I almost can't blame myself for making that mistake. Spoilers below but: Basically, I could have gotten the Crown and gotten really close to my intended invincibility goal near the end, and I could've easily gotten 2 more followers. And since those two followers were incorrectly lumped in with Knights of the Nine, you can raise the possible follower cap with a Knights of the Nine follower. There's also a minor goof near the same time where I thought I could make a reflect damage piece after obtaining the spell effect, but that's also incorrect. These are not dire enough mistakes to edit it out or remake the video or anything like that, but it's one that was noteworthy enough I felt like officially recognizing it would probably be a good thing.

The game telling you "You have too many followers" isn't the game trying to give you an error message. It's the game trying to confront you with your obvious problem.

“Im level 255 with the stats of a level 1, so I became a warlord” is my favorite anime.

The entire company yelling over each other and scolding you for stealing followed by "hail!" was a top tier Oblivion moment

The best part of Bethesda and Obsidian games is that after finishing it thrice I still get surprised by quests I have not encountered in previous runs.

This one playthrough has convinced me of one thing, Oblivion is seriously the strangest game ever made, the fact its so bipolar to a comical extent makes you wonder if it was on purpose, or if the game is sentient enough to act out this strangely.

255 actually makes sense as a max level assuming they used a data type of uint8 to code it. That gives 8 bits which assuming unsigned gives a max binary value of 255

These “broken” games are great because you can always replay them in silly ways like this.

I gotta say, the end of this sounds like we've ALL been doing Bethesda games wrong. By rushing the main quest, then finishing up the side quests with the people you've been journeying with, it wraps things up SO nicely by giving everyone their own little endings. Perhaps the whole time we were supposed to be getting these quests, then rushing the main, then doing all the sidequests after the fact.

100% Chameleon is my favourite Oblivion cheese, probably because I discovered it on my own and had a lot of fun with it as a teen. Invisibility that is not dispelled on actions and allows you to sneak attack on every crouched attack? Yes, please!

I remember the first time I played oblivion, there was a texture glitch where every town was just glithed pink. Pretty much set the tone for the entire game

I noticed two errors that don't really matter too much but I'm the living personification of the nerd emoji so I have to point them out: 1. Getting Reflect Damage as a spell effect doesn't mean you can enchant items with it. There are some items pre-enchanted with it, but you can't use them in custom enchantments, and that is pretty much the extent of Bethesda trying to "balance" this game. So it's rather fortunate you didn't do Shivering Isles because you would have wasted a bunch of time. 2. The Ayleid Crown of Lindai has nothing to do with the Knights of the Nine questline. I think you might have just mixed them up in your head because they both involve Ayleids. Other than that, great video, Oblivion is truly one of the games of all time.

Breton + Mundane ring -> 100% magic resist Amulet + ring + Chorol shield -> 100% reflect damages. However, bows bypass reflect damage, so you can never truly be immortal like in Morrowind.

Could all the reverse pickpocketing bound items onto your followers be why you got banned from the guilds for "stealing"?

The king returns with another one. Oblivion is one of those games where you can break it in so many fun ways, it is never the same twice. Even if you don't break it, it just gets wild every time.

"This isn't too great from a homeowner's perspective, and if we want to be evil it's also awful from a landlord's perspective" Holy W

Love the fact you essentially did a true-ish end game for oblivion.

Oblivion's levelling makes me shit my pants in rage, I'm surprised that my current level 27 character isn't getting mollywhopped every six seconds.

OH boy! Another Gunface video to gawn on for the next hour! Keep up the good work.

It is possible to multiply physical damage by exploiting the physical damage formula. The damage is affected by the fatigue, the max and the current values. If we assume that all attributes are 100, then getting willpower to -299 will get the max fatigue to 1. Now, enchanting gear with fortify fatigue effect or just casting fortify fatigue on self will multiply physical damage to ridiculous numbers, and the result damage can be further multiplied by sneak attacks :)

Of course the too many followers prompt doesn’t do anything. When my aunt tells me I live in a shithole, have a stupid wife and a deadend job, she doesn’t abandon the loading cell, remove my follower, and have me shunned from my faction.

until about 19 minutes in, I was confused as to why this challenge was hard. Turns out I misread the title as "255 stats at level 1"

I'm still trying to finish you Nucelar Trhnoe video and you already dropped another masterpiece

Going strong king, keep up the goated vids. Also I think you dropped this 👑

1:08:02 "Thanks so muck for getting us here safely!" yeah, I dunno about that one, Chief

Hello mr.gunface, how is your day going?

The leveling system for Elder Scrolls always had potential, but was implemented bad. The irony is all the tools are there to make it work (via a mod for example) Personally I think enemies should have set ranges from levels, Bandits for example are always out pillaging, raiding and looting, but lack proper gear and discipline, so it stands to reason they range between level 10 and 45. Meaning if you start out at level 1, they will still be way to strong for you, even at level 10, but once you get past level 50 yourself, bandits will instead become a minor nuisance, with the exception of bandit bosses/leaders who will be able to go all the way to level 60 max. Humanoids will get the most varying range of level. Animals get overall high levels depending on their size and real life counterpart's strength. Monsters will get about 10+ on animals, being that they mostly are build for combat. and Daedra will remain uncapped, so they can keep up with the player (but spawn level will range between a minimal of level 60 to infinity, meaning you could either face an experienced daedra you can easily vanquish, or one on the same level as yourself, providing a true life or death situation) That going in combination where many of the stats will also be made more realistic (no damage sponges) to provide a real challenge rather then a very long drawn out slug-fest.

Tbh I wish I had oblivion on PC to do this for myself. Let's see how this goes! Also are the dlcs in this video?

the max levelcap of 255 is based on the way information is stored. specifically bethesda set aside one byte to store the level in. one byte equals 8 bit. 1 bit gives the number interval [0, 1] 2 bit gives [0, 3] 3 bit is [0, 7] 4 bit is [0, 15] 5 bit = [0, 31] 6 bit = [0, 63] 7 bit = [0, 127] and finally, 8 bit = [0, 255] for those that are confuesd and think one bit equals 2 numbers and it doubles with each additional bit, yes, that is true, but 0 is also a number which you have to be able to represent, so its 255 instead of 256 as max level cap.

I remember suggesting this very idea on several of my fav channels just a few days ago. Thank you for doing it.

having enemies with 3000 health actually sounds FUN in a game like Morrowind, where you actually can use the entirety of the game's mechanics to take them on. stacking alchemy and all that

The entire bit from 17:58 to 19:13 was fucking priceless. Just found your content and I love it. Keep doing you man! Thats a sub from me 💜🤙🏻

That Volanero trick was nuts! I didn't know you could do that. Good job Todd

Fantastic. 10/10 response video to the Lvl 1 critique. Best video yet

Man your channel is pure gold, I love it ! Good work

Arguably best and coolest looking monsters and you only get to see them individually 10% of the game, instead of them being natural spread about the game 😭

YOUVE STOLEN FROM THE FIGHTERS GUILD

You sound kind of like the Orc voice actor if he wasn't doing ''the voice''. Great content dude.

Your videos are gold keep it up and you'll rack up a ton of newcomers

i *think* the guilds may have cast you out because to reverse pickpocketing *might* counting as stealing

Great video! Also your voice sounds like EpicNate doing a Paul from MittenSquad impression.

I love how you gave everyone their ending. They all went on this crazy journey with you.. some died after others live on. Their stories will be remembered

Man, this game is really good in a lot of ways, but it’s basically held together with Scotch tape, a staple, and some gum.

the funny man returns, what funny shall he deliver today? beautiful thumbnail btw

The king uploads, everyone stop doing what you're doing

41:20 this and from a minute on got a good chuckle out of me, back to back kneeslappers

Oh hey, I needed another Mitten Squad in my life. Seriously, thought you were the same guy for a minute.

i just want to put this out there too. you could've made burden spells to make the enemies your fighting abit easier for the squad to take down.... the one thing that doesn't change with their level increase is their stamina regen.

I feel like you could've made your lockpicking adventure a little less clumsy by cooking up a spell to Fortify Security by ~45 points for ten seconds or whatever.

King Davy has blessed us with some content praise the gods!

You're a mad man for being level 255 big respect

16:49 "I don't even know what the fuck they don't have" Damage reflection. Clanfears have it but Xivilai don't.

Yo 100% love the video jokes and all comedy was on the spot solely wished for an epilepsy warning that lock-picking section was incredibly intense had to solely listen at one point overall fantastic video five stars bro you deserve a high five

Highest level I ever got to was around 300, I only ever tried doing it once because I did it on a game console the hard way by exploiting a few bugs. I was unaware at the time that once all the attributes of your character hit 100, you are no longer able to level up. So I was actually supposed to plan out my levels so I would only advance 1 attribute point on each selected attribute per level. The interesting thing about skills is that despite only being able to level a skill to 100, their level limit is actually 255 and even more interesting is what happens when you overflow that integer. You can use a skill drain spell to drain your skill level to 0 which allows you to train at a master despite your true skill level being 100. This trick allows your skill to go above the usual level 100 cap. You keep doing this until the skill reaches level 255, you do it one more which resets the skill to level negative 255. At this point you train the skill normally all way back to positive level 100 and then repeat the process. I must have been really bored to actually go through all that tedium.

"Level 255 Oblivion with Level 1 stats is awful, so I became a warlord" sounds like a light novel title lol

He may have stopped his starcraft videos but the spirit of RTS still lives on, Amen.

This man made a 'small lone of a million dollars' reference in 2022.

Still not hard enough. Now beat the game with this setup again, but this time with Shadow Davey.

The title sounds like an actual light novel title that could actually exist.

I did not expect an inting sion joke here of all places

Bound armor actually all has the same armor rating as Daedric armor, so the Bound Helmet is actually doing a lot for Martin. The exception is the Bound Shield, which has very slightly less armor rating, but who cares.

I can't think of anything funny because I'm not funny but this needs a boost in the algorithm because this is great.

The Emperor saw this little muffaletter comin'.

i like how a decent amount of the challenge here is dealing with your followers

Cyrodiil was wild back then! Deadra, bandits, crazy elves and humans and a warlord with level 255 who had level 1 stats.

I enjoýed Oblivion warlord video Why: because i did How: i used my eyes to see and ears to hear Who: me What: max difficulty oblivion Oblivious jaws shut indeed , sean bean dragonman beat up moon runes daygone Anyways nice video, hope to see more!

The Gigachad Turbo Goblins terrify me

57:18 god dam, that hurt my eyes. i feel like i've been staring at the sun.

40 minutes in and you suddenly hit me with part 6 Jotaro.

Yeah Bethesda really makes the most compelling comedy games ever created.

Never heard of you but good video so I subscribed and will check out what other content you make. Good shit

i hate level based scaling on enemies, elder scroll games all have this system and i just dont feel like a powerful warrior, spells initially fun to use just do no damage late game, enemy just keep getting stronger and you sometime need ot break the game with bugs to get better equipment than the cap. What elder scrolls game need are dangerous enemy that have unique move set, like the souls game, so even the beginning enemy are dangerous if you let them hit you many time, and it also feel a lot more rewarding killing them

Awesome video Mr. Gunface loved the part of you aknowledging that Xfinity/Comcast Wifi fucking blows lmao

Yoooo I remember those rugs! Would play with hotwheels on them etc. Fantastic video, love your humour!

That rug just unlocked so many childhood memories

Im a year late but i really want to make this joke: “mortal, what brings you to my domain?” “I was on my way to the basement” “You ended up in a plane of oblivion *on your way to your basement*??” “Several planes so far, but yeah… im not a smart man”

You talking about the cute helmet reminds me of how my dad has kept every card i have made him in his nightstand.

this is one of the highest effort oblivion videos ever

50:35 Aren't you supposed to get your gear back at Sanguine's shrine?

I saw that fallout video you posted a minute ago, YOU CAN'T FOOL ME GUNFACE

The stolen from the fighters guild quest is so annoying, it just keeps happening and is impossible to fix at least for me, luckily It happened when I was on the last 2 quests and only activated when I entered a branch of the fighters guild so I could do the quests before I got permanently kicked out

I distinctly remember THAT rug from my childhood. I think we played on it in kindergarten.

Ah yes, now I can play M&B inside Oblivion. Perfect!😂

I am enamored with this video. I have watched countless times.

I feel I missed something, but why did Davey recruit the jerk guard? Non-essential, messes up the bear quest, causes a bunch of resets due to dying, seems like only downsides

Gloom wraiths drop grand soul gems. As there is a summon gloom wraith spell, there is an infinite supply of grand soul gems, even at level 1.

This is funniest video I've watched in so long 10/10

Had that rug as a kid, loved it

This is my favorite video of yours

Talking about using bugs, then going to Frostcrag? Not making yourself into an invincible killing machine? "Oh, he's not gonna do the mace of doom then." All the Oblivion content I've been watching, and nobody even brings it up. I used the sigil stone generator there to make gear that had over 100% chameleon. That was fun.

the name is very webcomic like hahaha i absolutly love itm great video

+1 Subscriber. Severely underrated channel.

I do wonder if the elys uncapper plugin would break the enemy scaling even further, but I think I have a mod installed somewhere that keeps it in check. I am currently in the 30s regarding level and I am doing fine. Goblins are still a challenge, but that is expected.

you just turned oblivion into dungeon seige 1

Bethesda makes the best shitty games always so much content you can play the game 10+ years and still find new quest or game mechanics

Murkinteal is my favorite skill in Oblivion!

I barely leveled up in my first playthroughs of oblivion. I didn't even know daedroth existed until several years after playing the game

I haven't seen that rug in years. I remember it being in my elementary school and a hospital I went to when I was younger.

i misread this was 1 minute... gonna stick this ride through love your oblivion videos

Also, quite interestingly, if you steal from Erthor in the cave, you have another quest unlocked as a punishment from the guild. So even if you return to tne guild with Erthor, you will find that he forcefully wont leave your party 👀
