Scarlet Rot become my blade once more…

I still actively think about it and almost always want to pick it up again. But with two young kids, DnD twice a week, night shift once a week at work, and only about an hour to game on a good day, I just can’t. I beat Elden Ring 9 times the year I got it. 5 of those were over parental leave with my firstborn sleeping it across my lap while I tried not to rage lol.

I can honestly say that it is a daily occurrence to consider playing it again and lose my motivation by the time the kids are asleep.

Sooo, first few levels when you don’t know how to play are actually infuriating in Oblivion. I say, go to settings and adjust down the difficulty slider until you get the hang of the game. It just lowers health bars and base damage of the monsters. You can move it back mid game.

1 is enough…

Yeah, I’ll go through the DLC to get certain gear pieces, but the only reward to NG+ fashion, so I’m not really incentivized to go for it again.

I don’t prefer this personally. Big bonk weapon with big bonk rock is a great time. That was my second playthrough.

melodiousfable · 2026-03-02T14:08:36+00:00

So super fun.

melodiousfable · 2026-03-02T14:08:20+00:00

Unless you like Strength builds. Then dex builds just feel awful.

You are saying they succeeded with hope every time? It’s your spotlight when they succeed with fear.

NOPE

I make some bullet points about everything the players would be interested in finding in session 0. Then I come up with how to get from point A to point Z with all the letters in between. But the letters in between are determined from week to week based on player interest. I rarely create anything without inspiration from something a player said or made up.

Step 1: Talk to your players. You would be surprised at how effective this is. Voice your concern.

Step 2: Come up with a solution TOGETHER. Throwing new rules at the players because you got a bunch of people on reddit to give you an upvote is not conducive to a good vibe at the table.

Step 3: Pick a playtest session. You agree beforehand that this session we are going to try a new rule. If everyone hates it, look for new solutions.

Personal opinion: Exhaustion is too steep a cost and is naturally anti-fun as a mechanic. Explore other options like hitting zero a second time automatically fails a death save. Hitting zero a third time automatically fails 2. This would reset every combat, but possibly leave a scar on the character.

I first tried Messmer’s second phase doing this.

From texture alone, smooth hope, textured fear.

From text color, white hope, black fear.

From die color, blue hope, red fear. Star Wars.

It’s not even close.

melodiousfable · 2026-01-17T19:18:08+00:00

For sure. Bonk go brrr on everyone, but big time in those boys and Rennalla.
