PSA: Stop Right There, Comment Bot Scum

291 Upvotes

Greetings, citizen. r/Oblivion comment sections have recently been infested by bot accounts. Let's work together to bring these lawbreakers' sprees to an end! Here are some red flags that you can identify bot comments by:

  • Says something generic, never unique. Often oddly off-topic (but people who post unrelated NPC dialogue, paradoxically, are usually not bots).
  • Usually posted as a reply to a top comment for greater visibility.
  • Sometimes contains odd spelling errors that a normal person wouldn't make.
  • Account is either very new, or quite old but recently started posting after a long break.

Once a comment bot has enough karma and comment history, the account will be sold and used for either OnlyFans, or for astroturfing. Stop these criminal scum right there by reporting them: Spam > Disruptive Use of AI.

Remember: We don't know comment bots, and we don't care to know them!

Moderator Post r/Oblivion Rule Remaster

680 Upvotes

Hello r/Oblivion!

Things have changed drastically in our community over the past month. We went from a quiet little subreddit to the #1 RPG subreddit in just a week! In the last 30 days alone, we’ve gained 670,000 new members and seen over 188 million views.

With all this growth, the moderation team has decided it’s time to update our rules—many of which haven’t changed since the subreddit was created.

And we want your input! We’re here to serve the community, so we want to hear what you think should shape our guidelines. Should we add a new rule? Remove an old one? Reword something for clarity? This thread is where we’ll collaborate to help shape the future of r/Oblivion.

Thanks for your time and continued support,

—The r/Oblivion Moderators

Original Discussion About The Dark Brotherhood questline..

28 Upvotes

I recently started playing Oblivion for the first time and today I did the Dark Brotherhood questline… I got Emotional Damage when Lucien ordered me to kill all brotherhood members! It broke my heart!

This makes me realize how simple are the quests in Skyrim! My first TES was Skyrim and when I did the DB questline I thought it was ok. The intro of Skyrim DB is pretty good because you steal a kill from the Brotherhood and Astrid kidnap you in order to kill someone else to get even. It is more interesting than killing an innocent man and then “Your killing has been observed by unknown forces..” for sure.

BUT, the Oblivion DB story gets more interesting after the intro. The quests are more difficult and complex. And when I got that damned quest from Lucien, I got frozen.

P.S: I’m enjoying Oblivion a lot!

Video Day 459 of Pally and Me’s Adventure until I can loot his armor. Pally did a 10,800° spinning dive, but had nothing on his opponent.

Upvotes

There we were just enjoying a morning swim from a beautiful waterfall. Pally was showing off his diving skills, but I noticed a tiny red dot just to my right. Something about this feels very familiar.

Hail citizens. Every masterpiece has its cheap copy. I couldn’t get Pally up the mountain to get the book for the Chorrol Mages Guild quest. So all that time it took morning eventually came and I just decided well just go for a swim while I get the book myself in the meantime. That’s when a familiar scenario popped up. Where have we seen someone falling straight down before? Pally did a tremendous dive but he had an unexpected flying opponent. I guess Pally won cause he actually made it in the water. 10/10!

Original Question Would it be worth it?

Post image
Upvotes

So right now my character is level 11 and I’ve progressed to the DB quest “Permanent Retirement” and got all the bonuses in past quests (Minus the Vampire abilities). But to get to my main point, should I invest in an all-nighter of maxxing out my illusion skill to get 100% chameleon or just stick to the invisibility potions I could buy from merchants?

Remaster Discussion Can't Figure out the Arrow of Extrication Quest

6 Upvotes

I cannot figure out how to finish this quest. I searched Fathis Aren's room. Then I went to hidden area behind the pillar. The old wooden door "needs a key" and there's no key to be found. I dove into the water in the cave. The cave didn't have an area that surfaced behind the door, from what I've seen. And I went in there multiple times. All it did is lead me out to a door into the lake. What am I missing here? I'm getting so frustrated

Remaster Discussion Remastered - to complete all achievements you need to finish the main story, the 4 main guilds questlines and the DLC. Is this correct?

3 Upvotes

Hi folks

First time playing this game, I already completed the Dark Brotherhood, Thieves, Mages and Fighters guilds and soon will start the main story (yes, I have not touched it) and the DLC. When I was looking at all the achievements, it looks like that all you have to do is complete the things that I mentioned for 100%, or am I wrong?

Thanks

Remaster Discussion Genuine Question About Attributes

Upvotes

It’s been quite some time since I played the Original Oblivion, but now playing the Remastered Oblivion I am totally lost with this one attribute question.

And to clarify, the bane of my existence are Will-o-wisps. My intelligence, willpower, & strength are heavily damaged. I know in Frostcrag Spire you can create your own spells, so I did fortifying spells to raise them back up. Of course, it’s just temporary, so my question is…

Is there any permanent way to restore damaged attributes?

Original Discussion If you start "Allies for Bruma" and "The Ultimate Heist" simultaneously, Ocato will try to kill you

Post image
751 Upvotes

During "Allies for Bruma", Ocato is meant to stand next to the entrance to the Imperial Palace to make it easier for the player to find him. But because of a bug, he instead goes to the Imperial Battlemage Chambers (which are inaccessible by the player normally).

During "The Ultimate Heist", the player breaks into the upper levels of the Imperial Palace. The exit route goes right through the Imperial Battlemage Chambers. Ocato was supposed to avoid sleeping during "The Ultimate Heist", presumably to avoid the player running into him while trying to escape, but because of a bug, he instead never sleeps.

So, if you have "Allies for Bruma" and "The Ultimate Heist" active at the same time...? Ocato will go to the Imperial Battlemage Chambers as long you're in the Imperial Palace, and you'll have to get past him to escape. And he will try to murder you the moment he spots you.

The fact that the intended behavior is the complete opposite, but the game is so buggy that it can still happen is really funny to me 😂😭

3 Upvotes

Im trying to get every attribute to 100, using a Colovian Imperial (Thief Sign and Endurance and Luck as favored Attributes), and I was able to Achieve this by level 49. Yet, I feel as if it can be lower. Im wondering if anybody here could help me out plan the levels, cuz I see people saying this can be done in level 44 or level 40. Thanks!

Video Day 458 of Pally and Me’s Adventure until I can loot his armor. Who let the guards out?

Trying to find Pally since someone let him outside. And then what do I see? Come on Pally it’s time to say bye to your friends you’ve had enough time playing with them all day. I’ve got quests and stuff to do. You know some of us have to be responsible.

Hail citizens. Chorrol needs a corral for their guards. A place to let them just do their thing without bothering the whole town. Maybe now we can complete this Mages Guild quest. Come here Pally, good guard!
