What the hell are you doing to yourself? Oblivion can be ran on a potato.

Running these games on console has it's charm to it, I regularly replay Fallout 3 and New Vegas on my 360. From what I know, PS3 copies of Bethesda titles are far from optimal, but it wasn't an issue until New Vegas and Skyrim, at which point they are straight up unplayable due to the low amount of memory PS3 has. I don't know about Oblivion, likely it isn't an issue until you put a ridiculous amount of hours into it, much like with Fallout 3. And let's face it. Oblivion was made for console players first and foremost, so it makes sense one would fire it up on their old clunker like it's 2006, little bit less nostalgic with something like Fallout 4 or Starfield when these games are so shit they're borderline unplayable without dozens of mods. Oblivion doesn't have that issue, it's more or less playable out of the box, especially with the recent remaster.
 
Speaking of manchild writers I was watching a video by a lore youtuber I like recently and found out ESO writers are injecting blatant capeshit into the lore.

The Scarlet Judge was a vigilante hero active on the island of Vvardenfell in the Second Era who had the heavy burden of upholding justice no matter the cost, with the figure being active for generations while cloaked in mystery and intrigue. In actuality, the person that the people of Vvardenfell saw as an immortal guardian who could appear in many places was just a mantle that was passed down, with many warriors playing the role before passing the cowl to the next, becoming just one of a long chain of vigilantes.

I would bet my fucking urethra that anyone reading this thread could write better fantasy concepts when we were thirteen.

>missing the easiest opportunity in the world to have something loosely connected to pre-existing lore through Jyggalag ("Order" perceived as "Justice", "lawful evil/good" vs "chaotic evil/good" to represent the contrast between Sheogorath and Jyggalag)]
>potential capeshit references are still possible (Jyggalag and Sheogorath / Secuna and Blood moon -> Schizo Moon Knight shit -> Jyggalag-alignment gives easy justification to just make proxy-Batman, focused on order and detail (detective shit))
>Hircine/Azura allusions without direct connections are also possible. Vvardenfell in Morrowind -> Morrowind venerates Azura -> Azura's represented by a crescent moon (player could be the "star" to capeshit-reference's "moon")/Jyggalag <-> Sheogorath contrast could be argued to be Secuna <-> Blood moon contrast instead and possible Hircine connection gives a "truth behind the myth" reveal as criminals become mere prey to be hunted down.
Though before I thought on any of that shit I would've just not injected blatant capeshit and risk exposing my autism in trying to justify why having it is fine.

That's nust the Grey Fox's backstory, except without the magic amnesia.

This isn't a criticism of Camelworks specifically, but loretubers in general - there's way too much ass-pulling. Sure, go ahead and make a treatise on King Edward, but that altogether has the word count of an actual book. But making a three hour video about somebody that barely called a character, no.

From what i remember, the problem with this guy is he's basically the elder scrolls version of those channels that throw around baseless fan theories about FNAF or under tale. He will really reach to force connections that don't exist.
 
Unknown G is a massive faggot too, though.

For a guy that autistically goes into cut content/background content, he seems to have no fucking idea what environmental storytelling is.

Not to mention he's had shades of allinall where he'll talk about how much he hates Bethesda when all his "best" content is devoted to them.
 
My predictions for TES6

- Race Bonuses are decoupled from the race selection so you can be an Imperial with the Argonian bonuses because race bad
- Block, Two and One handed are folded into a single melee skill
- Archery is folded into sneak because le stealth archery meme, Pickpocket and Lockpick too
- Illusion gets folded into Alteration
- Your MC gets some special snowflake power like the dragonshouts
- Gloves/guantlets are removed, armor is just Helmet, Chest and Boots
- not using shields makes you use the janky fallout 4 block
- dungeons are randomized
