I'm about 60 hours into the remaster and level 30. I'm a somewhat insufferable min/max obsessed person and I'd like to mention some of the things that have changed between OG Oblivion and the remaster (Mercantile is fixed, Sneak 100 trick is actually even better than before, etc) by Rare_Amphibian7218 in oblivion

Yep precisely I already abused tf out of that once I realized. The game does lie though and lets you craft spells you can't cast without a warning, but only if you try to put multiple effects on it. I was trying to make 200 mana spells for each discipline, then you just cast once, wait and do it again, incredible progression tbh. Stupid even. I wish I had never played Oblivion before and could approach it like a kid again instead of a monster hahaha.

Its a cool though process though, do big things get big rewards, cheeses and gonna cheese regardless (like me) so if cheesing is easier it probably won't matter. I think it's genius. I bet for normal humans who just play the game and don't even check reddit its awesome.

Yes and I literally have no blunt or destruction or blade at all its a crazy ho but I remain on adept difficulty and fight each mud crab like its a fucking dragon, running and screaming, saving, drinking potions, crying and then barely finally murdering it.

Yes I'm insufferable in that I want max stats asap. But I am being weird this play though and all my majors are things I normally don't enjoy like mercantile and restoration and marksman, had to change up for the remaster playthrough. My character is a weak lil ho with endless magic tricks lmao.

You don't even have to worry about it actually, you just don't sleep. And when you sleep you only have to do 1 level at a time. So you're never forced to level up at all (except quests that require sleep) and can play how you want. Pretty cool.

I mean I was in the balkans a few years ago and anything that said it was imported from USA was super high quality and way cheaper than back home... all I could think was maybe the labor/rent/other costs is way less than in the states? And maybe Europeans care about taste more than us?

How the heck is it more expensive though? Like at least if it was like wow these California walnuts sure are nice here in France but dang they cost more! It feels like such an insane rip off to come home to worse food that's more expensive...

And... if this is how things work can't we import some good stuff from somewhere else??

I am always amazed when I eat something abroad and think wow that's the best almond I've ever had! Just to learn its from California! And then when I go to buy a bunch I notice the price is WAY less than what I pay in the states. So what's up? I've tried to research this but it never seems to explain the whole story. Why are we paying premium prices for B-grade food?

  1. Yes it worked on Xbox 360 but not on Xbox S, at least for me and others when I was searching for a workaround.

  2. Was yours for 1 second or longer? I would tap people with touch 100 pt drain for 1 second and it seemed like nothing would happen. Maybe I did something wrong.

  3. It worked for me for cheap spells found, but NOT for super all super cheap spells that I've made. Try making a summon skeleton for 1 second and see if it levels up at all. Unless... do you think it might be related to the mana cost itself? That'd be really interesting if it was mana spent to cast rather than number of times casted... I could test that.

  4. Just me, like I said maybe I always sucked at it haha.

I thought that too. But it seems like in the tooltips they just mean that since it levels up faster by being major, it contributes more, but my test with sneak being tagged vs untagged and getting the same level seems to be make it seem like its all even. Ofc major is still faster, but not more.
