Wow... How the hell do people figure this stuff out? It took me like 80 hours to beat the game (Including all of the guilds)

I peed.

Theres a vid on youtube of a guy who got a paint brush, used the ol' duplicate glitch and made a stairway of paintbrushes to the top of the imperial tower, which initiated the end battle of the game. Obviously not 11 minutes, but impressive nonetheless. also DONKEYCocks

GROSS!!!!!




French...

Pretty sure there was a TES III Speedrun very similar to this. I love it!

@Volomon - If it was Jim I wouldn't be surprised but hey, we can hope... we can but hope... :)

Damn. Now I want to see a speedrun without using glitches/cheats.

I played this game for over 250 hours (vanilla, no mods, official or otherwise) and still didn't finish it. I tried it again later from the beginning with KotN + Shivering Isles + a crap-ton of user mods + a new graphics card, and got about 2 hours in before a soul-crushing sense of being utterly overwhelmed settled in on me and I stopped playing. I almost fear this game as much as I fear MMOs, which is a shame because it's otherwise awesome. I fully intend to go back one of these days and actually beat the damn thing, once enough time has passed (and I can find a spare six months or so when I don't have a billion other newer games waiting for me to play them).

I have no comment on the speedrun. Whether it's from using cheat codes or using glitches, if it's not a legit run I don't care.

This is kind of stupid really. All he did was one simple little thing of falling through a building to activate the end-game trigger prematurely.

Want to see a really fucking impressive speed run? Half-Life 1 in 30 minutes.

And, it has sound:

@Grim

Grim, I want to buy your wheel

I love speedruns.
But not Oblivion.

@KorJax: you people do as he says and watch that half life run.

Not a speed run if you cheat. But thats an interesting glitch.

At first I also was overwhelmed by Oblivion. Many friends who've tried the game have stopped playing it because they felt "too free". But when I finally picked a character I liked and started doing the main quests I got completely hooked... I spent a whole summer playing it!

Damn you Destructoid, now I want to play it again!

I love Oblivion. Love it. I don't know if I'll ever be fully "done" with the game. I have put almost 200 hours in, and have done most of the sidequests, including some of the guilds, but not all. I finally had to just beat the main quest to see how it all turns out. I still have to check out Shivering Isles and KOTN!

I get overwhelmed by Oblivion very easily if I don't dedicate myself to a specific task or chain of quests. I devoted about a week to the Dark Brotherhood quests, and I went from there to the main quest. I'm pretty far into it, but I've been derailed in an effort to explore the Shivering Isle. The broad array of mods I'm using has made the game quite interesting; though every mob in the game is much tougher than in vanilla, I've got new tools at my disposal to make up the difference.

wish i woulda known that

Dude, who is that chick??
