Holy crap.

I'm curious, a long time ago in the LP you received that DLC note thing telling you of the Mehrunes Razor quest. Are you gonna do that at some point?

I can't imagine why anyone would want to, but I do wonder if they added any unique dialogue for that. According to the UESP, nope. I can't imagine they would have wanted to pay the money for just one more line anyway.

I won't spoil it, but you guys dumping on the arena have neglected to mention the absolute best reward for becoming Grand Champion, which I hope makes an appearance next update  The Agronak fight is interesting, though. Bethesda has this tendency to make every one of their 100+ quests and errands play by normal RPG rules, then they'll throw the one curveball. Oh, you just mindlessly did this chump's quest like every other quest? Haha, now you get to beat him to death while he begs for oblivion in front of a crowd of roaring fans! It was the same with Tenpenny Tower in Fallout 3, or (to a lesser extent) siding with the Stormcloaks at the beginning of Skyrim. I've never not done it, though. Seriously, who can pass up free skill training?

I don't really care for it myself. I only broke the game inadvertently, if at all. The boring leveling system and the boring dungeon design got me to the point where I just wanted to rush through as quickly as possible. Morrowind was much better if only because it was far more freeform, and didn't take the idea of using vertical space as a restriction in the same way oblivion and skyrim did. I made boots of (some huge number) acrobatics because it was fun as heck to just bound everywhere, not to "break" the game.

I've never been really one to break these sorts of games either - at best its when some mod to touch up graphics or rescale the leveling a bit has actually broken the game. I suppose part of it is me not wanting to really spend my game experience formulating on how to beat it beyond 'will this feature be really useful? Yes, so lets aim for it', so I never really try to.

Did you ever show Porkchop off where he hangs about in the Arena lobby? First time I did this whole quest I was pretty excited that the piggy I saw wasn't just background detail.  Had to make sure he survived of course. Even though he disappears afterwards anyway.

Sneaky Fast posted:I'm I the only one that didn't break this game in half? It never occurred to me at first. I played it largely as straight as LizWiz is the first time; exploiting a couple of things I saw and recognized as useful, but nothing else, really. But then, one of the first LPs I ever saw happened. Maxwell Adams' Oblivion LP opened my eyes to how completely loving insane the game could get if you let it, and after that it was like a whole new game.

I didn't, mostly because I didn't know about it when I played the first time and then I just didn't feel like putting in the effort subsequent times. I'm not a big fan of doing that anyway unless I'm really having a lot of trouble playing it straight.

I didn't, at least not in the way people talk about breaking Morrowind with 5000% regeneration for seven actual years and all that. I tried 100% chameleon once, but it was only funny beating Imperial guards to death for about fifteen minutes; god-mode just doesn't appeal to me that much. I did inadvertently get my sneak so high (115 or so) that I could backstab most enemies without them finding me, but that at least required a little skill, in that I had to jump away to avoid detection.

You know, Morrowind is one of my favorite TES games. Setting be damned, with a good 300-400k gold, which is about a dozen Ordinators or so, I think, you could get a constant effect enchantment set of Jump 24 or so. Combine that with 1 point of slowfall so you didn't kill yourself, and suddenly you've got Super Jump. Jumping from one side of Balmora to the other across the river, and navigating Vivec was never as much fun as that. As for Oblivion chat, for all of it's flaws, Oblivion was fun. I had fun with it, therefore, I'mma call it a good game. In fact, back a few years ago I actually made a couple of mods for it that are probably still floating around on the Nexus. Not just any mods, but one of those super ambitious mods that turned out only half finished because the modder got burnt out making the thing. Good times.

Best fun I've had with Oblivion physics was killing a mountain bear with a fireball at the top of a somewhat steep hillside somewhere near Burma. It flew through the air and started tumbling slowly done the slope. I proceeded to begin an epic trek across the landscape tossing the dead bear around the terrain with additional explosion effects. Good times were had.

Good times were had. You can do this in Skyrim too with dragon skeletons and a reanimation spell of some sort. Those things just absolutely go flying across the landscape. And if there are townspeople gathered around gawking at the skeleton, they'll chase it.

No Gates, No Glory  Yes, I...I suppose it does.There's a bit of backpatting here, and we get our Raiment of Valor, which immediately gets thrown on the floor for being heavy and mediocre. Let's just fast forward to the good stuff.    I've had some people out collecting your new combatants. The wilderness is full of 'em! Let me know when- YESSSSS    Hahaha! Yes!We can do these monster fights once a week, and we have a choice in how difficult it is. It's either one level-appropriate monster, two of that level-appropriate monster, or two of that level-appropriate monster with another level-appropriate monster. In this case we picked the middle option, being two Ogres.   Oh, and armor isn't restricted, which is nice.  THANKYOUGOODBYE.   There. Now that I'm Grand Champion, I can surely take on whatever Mehrunes Dagon has in store for me.  ...who is this?  Hmm...why not? Follow your esteemed Grand Champion. Golly, you're the best! I'm going to follow you and watch you and worship the ground you walk on! Let's go!  So, what's first on the agenda? Carbo-loading? Bench presses? Actually, we're going on a little trip. Your esteemed Grand Champion has been tasked with saving Cyrodiil.   First, though, we're going to need supplies. Like these hammers, for instance. I tend to go through four or five a day. Golly. Speaking of which, would you like to carry my supply of hammers? Gods no. I could never hold as many hammers as you, Butcher! Not in my wildest dreams!    While we're here, I get some training so I can give Armorer a nice kick in the pants and ensure a full Endurance bonus for our next level. It costs about 3000 gold, but the only other thing I'm spending money on is, what, more repair hammers?  I also try to find Chancellor Ocato so I can ask for his support in defending Bruma, but the operative word here is "try". Apparently he's a dick and won't offer any troops, though, so no loss.  We're as prepared as we're going to be. Let us be going.  First, we head to Cheydinhal. I've got an errand to run, and I need to check in with Ocheeva. Golly, who's that? ...er. Say, how fast can you run? Gosh, Mr. Butcher, no better than any ordinary fellow. Why do you ask? BYE This could be bad. I can't have him knowing my secrets.  ...but it shouldn't be too hard to keep my distance.  Now, off to Cheydinhal!  Goodness. He is a persistent one. But as long as I don't tarry, I should be-  ...fine.      Eep.  Er...just keep following! Come on.  No more distractions.  Just keep the pace and get to Cheydinhofcoursethere'sanObliviongateontheway.  Better clear out these Daedra first. And hey, we can level up now, but gently caress it, Oblivion gate!  Hmm...looks like I wasn't the first one here.  ...AH!   I...how did he...?   Dammit. I guess I shouldn't just let him get killed.  Have at you!       I'll just have to keep en eye out. One eye and no more.  I wonder where he got to.  Eh. No matter. The Adoring Fan's pathing got a little weird here, apparently. About thirty seconds before this screenshot I turned around and he was right there. Now he isn't. Maybe the AI's just stuck in flee mode due to the lack of spaces without monsters nearby? Idunno, man.  But hey, Oblivion gate. The Adoring Fan didn't follow me into the tower, so maybe I'm right about his pathing being out of whack.  Oh, and we got Frost Atronachs now. Like the Daedroth, they do a whopping 40 POINTS OF MELEE DAMAGE, and of course have some ice spells to hurt you with.  Not much good loot in the ol' meatbags, unfortunately.   The Sigil Stone turned out pretty great though!  There. Another gate broken and done with.

Did the Adoring Fan have any purpose? Like, I dunno, giving you money from time to time, since he adores you so much? Has he fighting potential, like a, while weak, also cheap companion? I just can't believe that the game has something like this, that follows you into ANOTHER DIMENSION, without actually being good for anything.

Largely no. The best things he can do are give you torchlight without you having to use one on your own, as well as maybe being a distraction for enemies in cases where you're really dying. That torch is going to be completely extraneous if you're a thief and your first priority is hiding, though. He also carries a really low amount of gold, so if you want to be a heartless monster and murder the poor boy you could get an extra 3G. So, yup, your reward for becoming the best fighter in the arena is mid-level armor, and a goofy non-combat follower!

Now that you have the Adoring Fan, you should bring him into the Shivering Isles. He won't follow you through the portal, but he'll respawn there if you kill him before going in.
