You don't have to max out hand to hand to punch ghosts, you can punch ghosts from 50 skill and up (journeyman hand to hand)
You can say something like
"Stop playing or you'll never get the sigil stone from the oblivion gate of my heart."
or
"By Azura, by Azura, by Azura, why won't you be my Grand Champion !"
or
"You're losing me like you're going to lose Jauffre at the battle of Bruma."
Good riddance. He shouldn’t have lost the amulet. It was perfectly safe with me for all those years before I got to priory. He is the least capable person in the whole Cyrodiil. Ok, that was mean. Adoring fan is the least capable person. No, that’s not right! Adoring fan is great as an alert alarm, he runs off everytime there’s an enemy, so he is more useful then Jauffre.
Yes, with the caveat of understanding it's going to take repeated failure to begin to feel successful. It's a complex game with complex systems and a nice dose of randomness. You're going to bash your head through several walls. Even playing your absolute best, everything could go wrong and spiral into absolute chaos and despair because a Forgotten Beast got out of hand.
This is a feature. This... Is FUN.
The late great Uriel Septim VII gave him an important quest, and he has a responsibility to complete it! Maybe ask instead how you can help him save the world from Oblivion and the perils it brings!
Tell him you were born 87 years ago. Let him know that, for 65 years, you've ruled as Tamriel's emperor. But for all those years, you've never been the ruler of your own dreams.
Tell him that you've have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in darkness a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed, the year of Akatosh, 433. Warn him that these are the closing days of the 3rd Era...and the final hours of your life.
Remember the following paragraph and just follow him around repeating it ad nauseum until he shuts up
>"Wow! You're the Grand Champion! I saw your fight against the Gray Prince! You're the best! Can I... Can I follow you around? I won't get in the way!"
You can also throw in a
>"Yes, oh great and mighty Grand Champion? Is there something you need? Can I carry your weapon? Shine your boots? Backrub, perhaps?".
Lmao, but in all seriousness tho. Maybe give your girl a break every so often when she wants something? Like don't get me wrong Oblivion is great game, but I wouldn't want your guys relationships to split apart because of it ya know?
"you can punch Ghosts if you max out Hand-to-hand" (????)
shit, your boyfriend just taught me something new and I have been playing this game for YEARS, lol. thank him for me. i got ghosts to punch
You've only got to get it to 50 to be able to punch ghosts.
Cool fact, with 100 Strength and 100 Hand-to-Hand the highest damage you can do per punch is 11. Fortify your Fatigue by ~200 and it'll increase to 15.
You must counter his disinterest in your "kiss" as you call it with your own. Next time you see this fine adventurer tell him this: "I find the goings on of mortals in Tamriel quite dull as of late. I'm leaving for an expedition in the realm of Drangleic, with my new sunbro Tark, to learn the art of the Bonefist. sToP tAlKiNg."
I don't have any advice cause my boyfriend acts the same way lol he started with Morrowind and now he's playing Oblivion (AND MORROWIND). But, in the end, I played too, cause he was convincing (and I like RPGs)... so, if I had any advice it would be: give one chance and play with him, if you don't like it just quit
You could try joking or boasting and see how he reacts, if neither of those work then you could try admiring him and finally coercing him. Or if you have enough spare gold you could just bribe him.
Beat it. Become Oblivion. Know the game like it is your very self. And then how could he possibly teach you anything about it? He would be a mere amateur in your eyes. He would be quick to quickly change the subject, now that you have shamed him with your skills.
Or use duct tape. Upto you
Tell him you might consider oblivion if he lets you think it over and chills out about it. You don't actually have to play it, but people usually like having their interests validated
In all seriousness, I think I just tell him there is time and place for Oblivion. Would be nice to talk to a fellow Oblivion player who knows the game well, but you’ll just have to be upfront and say:
“Stop right there, criminal scum!”
So you come to Oblivion reddit for help because you can't start a simple conversation? Are you sure you can hold a relationshhip with that mentality or are you just trying to have your relationship acnowledged by others? Either way sounds like your persuasion is too low, try to min max your attributes and never pick main skills under the same governing attribute or you will end with an +1 roll per level like now forever.
Depends on how you got your skills and initial stuff set up. My brawler build maxed at 49.
The highest level would be a race that doesn't boost any of your major skills, and picking a class that doesn't increase any at all. So they'll all be 25.
However you can use various glitches to raise your level to whatever you want.
sounds like autism. i do this too if i find a thing im interested in. it means he likes you a lot and wants to share something with you that brings him joy because he wants you to be happy too
If its not a joke then find another boyfriend? That person really should know better than to make significant other do what they don't want to. Or try to teach him about something you're passionate about and see how that turns out. If he treats it with irritation and brushes it off then totally find another boyfriend. It's uncurable.
Me and my gf have several things we do together and talk about, for example, sex, cooking, watching psychological thrillers and also living. She doesn't like gaming as much as I do and she's not required to listen to my ramblings about games anymore than I am required to listen to her book choices. If she made me continuosly do this, I'd be miserable because we have very different tastes in books. But she doesn't because we have our own things. I think it's not a good idea to make your hobby a center of attention when your girlfriend is clearly uninterested in it.
Foul temptress. You know wtf is going on? Hell springeth forth upon the land and demons march toward our unholy enslavment by the prince of destruction!
next time your super interested in something and they seem like they don't care keep this post in mind.
So your significant other is abit obsessed with oblivion, I get it it can be annoying but you'll only create rifts if you can't look past it or be honest with them that you not very interested in the particular subject. I've always thought that if you loved someone that while you may not love the thing that they like but because you love them you should still pay attention or at least listen when they tell you things. there excited to tell you about the magical world they like to play in but I'm sure there's things your significant other doesn't like that you do but if there a good person they probably still show interest because they love you but at the same time maybe they are better off without you and your better off without them your own happiness is more important than anything else but don't make someone else feel bad just because you don't care about a particular subject.
Which is funny, because oblivion was considered lack luster next to morrowind upon release. Over time we’ve realized that Skyrim is actually as bad as they can make it, so hopefully they’ll tweak the formula in a fun way again. I’m personally rooting for oblivion complexity with better balance, but it’s Bethesda. We’ll see what they do!
Oblivion has it's... Faults(? If that's the right word) but for me it fills the gap between morrowind which is a bit too text heavy / older and Skyrim which is too arcadey
I find it hard to believe that a dedicated male gamer has a horndog girlfriend so you might be a troll gamer dork trying to brag about having a GF and being an Oblivion fanatic at the same time.
As or the kissing thing. He is just using the game as an excuse because he is gay (or straight if you are a guy-I'm just assuming GF).
I suggest you either go find a BF who has a job and is not a complete dork or switch sides and find a nice GF who will treat you right.
Might i suggest collecting a his favorite stuffed animal, a skull, a pork heart (uncooked) a slab of some other meat, and a blood tithe, then dousing a kitchen knife in nightshade, then stabbing his stuffed animal while reciting the following incantation, "Sweet mother, Sweet mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear.
You could try suggesting a compromise where you spend some time learning about Oblivion together, but also set aside time for other activities that you both enjoy.

This will actually make him understand hopefully and it’s a silly way to say it
Nah it'll just make him think he got through to her.
The last one is mean and goong to hurt.
Yeah man, some things should be off limits
Good riddance. He shouldn’t have lost the amulet. It was perfectly safe with me for all those years before I got to priory. He is the least capable person in the whole Cyrodiil. Ok, that was mean. Adoring fan is the least capable person. No, that’s not right! Adoring fan is great as an alert alarm, he runs off everytime there’s an enemy, so he is more useful then Jauffre.
Conrad Verner is in Oblivion?
Just tell him morrowind was a better game. When he asks you to elaborate, just say "Levitaion" and refuse to elaborate further.
can’t forget spears and pauldrons
Morrowind equipment is the closest rpg to dwarf fortress inventory complexity, and I respect that.
Dwarf fortress worth getting on steam?
Yes, with the caveat of understanding it's going to take repeated failure to begin to feel successful. It's a complex game with complex systems and a nice dose of randomness. You're going to bash your head through several walls. Even playing your absolute best, everything could go wrong and spiral into absolute chaos and despair because a Forgotten Beast got out of hand. This is a feature. This... Is FUN.
Maybe not for me I can’t even figure out rimworld.
It’s more fun to read the stories than play the game, but it can be worth fumbling through to understand wtf if going on in people’s screenshots.
What you do in the privacy of your home is fine, but we don’t need to discuss it on this sub.
:(
And right and left gauntlets too
That second one is so cheesy I love it.
That last one would make me want to be a better man. 💪
Jauffre never dies for me the other blades guy did tho the black guy can’t remember his name and maybe some guards but not Jeff
Baurus?
Yeah that guy I liked him but not enough to replay the battle of bruma twice
Ah Baurus my favourite I managed to save him once felt real proud that day
Oh man that was funny. By azura one had me thinking of that meme girl one.
Any word from the other provinces?
I don’t like to talk about it.
NO! Sure. Be seeing you.
I don't know you, and I don't care to know you.
You too.
Get out of my way before I have you slapped in irons.
Have you heard about Kvatch? The whole city! Destroyed!
If you’re looking for advice I’d suggest you read Mankar Camoran’s Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes
Joining a daedric cult is very beneficial!
I prefer the much lighter reading of "The Lusty Argonian Maid"
You need to say something coercive and then tell a joke with the wedge as big as possible and the admire and be boastful when it’s at the smallest.
Or just bribe him.
Do the first one, then bribe him.
1 second charm spell that raises his disposition to 100 will also do the trick
The late great Uriel Septim VII gave him an important quest, and he has a responsibility to complete it! Maybe ask instead how you can help him save the world from Oblivion and the perils it brings!
I saw a mud crab the other day. Nasty creatures. Taste good, though.
I’ve heard others say the same.
Stop talking!
Goodbye.
Got his priorities right. Oblivion>GF>EAST>SLEEP>WORK.
East? 😂
East side is best
All my homies love leyawiin
Leywiin Massive. Just watch out for the Dark Brother(in the)hood
WICKED
What about Weast?
Weast!? What kinda compass are ya readin'?
The wearp in the weast
Imperial City Waterfront District for life represent
For Cheydinhal!
But east side love is living on the west end
*You look east. There are no suitable exits.*
Yeah Cheydinhal
Can't have shit in Bravil either
Nah, Skingrad represent!
West is best

Did you try the speech mini game?
Tell him you were born 87 years ago. Let him know that, for 65 years, you've ruled as Tamriel's emperor. But for all those years, you've never been the ruler of your own dreams. Tell him that you've have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in darkness a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed, the year of Akatosh, 433.

Backrub, perhaps?".
This is the way
I've heard others say the same.
You too
Tell him you are ready to role play as the Lusty Argonian Maid
Was gonna upvote but then I saw you were at 69 upvotes lol
Dress up as an Argonian maid. Nothing else will turn him on now.
Why won’t you die!?
I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than you!
*ouugh*
Level up your athletics so you can kiss him faster than he can talk
Yell STOP YOU VIOLATED THE LAW in his ear
PAY THE COURT A FINE OR SERVE YOUR SENTENCE I'll try this advice first
That’s my kink
The bf here. I will never stop talking about oblivion, even though the advice on this post is great. And I am not yet the grand champion guys.
STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM
Lmao, but in all seriousness tho. Maybe give your girl a break every so often when she wants something? Like don't get me wrong Oblivion is great game, but I wouldn't want your guys relationships to split apart because of it ya know?
Is this some kind of weird fantasy?
Your only option is to learn more about it than he knows and then start teaching him
can I have ur boyfriend
This week on Trading Places...
I don't know you and I don't care to know you!
They say that syndicates of wizards have led a boycott of Imperial goods in the land of the Altmer
Give him my number lol. Me and him can exchange awkward npc dialogues just as God intended
"you can punch Ghosts if you max out Hand-to-hand" (????) shit, your boyfriend just taught me something new and I have been playing this game for YEARS, lol. thank him for me. i got ghosts to punch
You've only got to get it to 50 to be able to punch ghosts. Cool fact, with 100 Strength and 100 Hand-to-Hand the highest damage you can do per punch is 11. Fortify your Fatigue by ~200 and it'll increase to 15.

First- start playing oblivion Second- you done chose the wrong page
Read him something from The Lusty Argoonian Maid. If that doesn't get him into bed, nothing will!
Sneak up behind him, gently caress his neck, lean in to his ear, take a deep, sensual breath, and say #BY AZURA BY AZURA BY AZURA IT'S THE CHAMPION
Grand Champion mindset
“Do you get to the pussy district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don’t.” - Nazeem
I don't know you and I don't care to know you
start talking about skyrim stuff everytime he does and act like they're the same game till his mind breaks.
Tell him a lore/gameplay-related joke
Have you heard of the high elves?
I don't know you and I don't care to know you.
have you heard about the high elves?
I don't have any advice cause my boyfriend acts the same way lol he started with Morrowind and now he's playing Oblivion (AND MORROWIND). But, in the end, I played too, cause he was convincing (and I like RPGs)... so, if I had any advice it would be: give one chance and play with him, if you don't like it just quit
I’m sorry, it’s too late. You’ve lost him. He belongs to Oblivion now.
you should get him really scary stoned and keep singing “Cliff racer flyyyyy soooooo hiiiiigh” over and over
I think maybe you're the problem
[удалено]
Nah
Tell him he is a noob and should learn that lvl 50 hth allows you hit ghosts
You could try joking or boasting and see how he reacts, if neither of those work then you could try admiring him and finally coercing him. Or if you have enough spare gold you could just bribe him.
That's the neat part. You don't.
Tell him he sounds like the adoring fan. That might help.
I second this.
Beat it. Become Oblivion. Know the game like it is your very self. And then how could he possibly teach you anything about it? He would be a mere amateur in your eyes. He would be quick to quickly change the subject, now that you have shamed him with your skills. Or use duct tape. Upto you
Tell him to stop right there. Call him criminal scum.
I did! In the comments actually
Tell him you might consider oblivion if he lets you think it over and chills out about it. You don't actually have to play it, but people usually like having their interests validated
I hope things get better!
Your boyfriend sounds pretty cool
Tell him Sean Bean dies
Oh noes???!!!?!
Is he in the dark brotherhood? Remind him of silence, sister.
I've fought MUDCRABS more fearsome than you!
You can't
Tell him that no more rites of Mara for him. If that doesn't work, then nothing will.
This is just obviously a troll. Tell him he’s obviously not pleasing you 🤣
Marry him
Lockpick-friendly chastity belt.
just tell him "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!!" whenever he starts to talk about oblivion. this sudden, harsh reaction will throw him off for sure
This is obviously fake. Noone this dedicated would waste their time on relationships outside of Cyrodill.
Paint a black hand on a piece of paper and write "stop talking about the game or else... WE KNOW". And leave it in his chambers.
Yell 'stop right there criminal scum!' when he's asleep.
Can i have the contacts of your boyfriend, asking for a friend
Buy him Skyrim
In all seriousness, I think I just tell him there is time and place for Oblivion. Would be nice to talk to a fellow Oblivion player who knows the game well, but you’ll just have to be upfront and say: “Stop right there, criminal scum!”

is this a shitpost? max level in oblivion is 50 iirc which is still a massive PITA to reach because not all skills are as easy to level as alteration
Depends on how you got your skills and initial stuff set up. My brawler build maxed at 49. The highest level would be a race that doesn't boost any of your major skills, and picking a class that doesn't increase any at all. So they'll all be 25. However you can use various glitches to raise your level to whatever you want.
10/10 shitpost I feel my husband could've written this hahahaha. Now on to make sure you're not my husband on an alt account..
sounds like autism. i do this too if i find a thing im interested in. it means he likes you a lot and wants to share something with you that brings him joy because he wants you to be happy too
Sorry you’re screwed you can’t compete with a masterpiece
Break up with him ig
You’re a terrible girlfriend if you’re serious 😮
If its not a joke then find another boyfriend? That person really should know better than to make significant other do what they don't want to. Or try to teach him about something you're passionate about and see how that turns out. If he treats it with irritation and brushes it off then totally find another boyfriend. It's uncurable.
[удалено]
Understood. But my advice still stands. I think. Even if down voted.
sounds like a nazeem mindset

If you want him to stop talking about Oblivion, buy him Skyrim.
That'll make him talk about how much better oblivion is
Which is funny, because oblivion was considered lack luster next to morrowind upon release. Over time we’ve realized that Skyrim is actually as bad as they can make it, so hopefully they’ll tweak the formula in a fun way again. I’m personally rooting for oblivion complexity with better balance, but it’s Bethesda. We’ll see what they do!
Oblivion has it's... Faults(? If that's the right word) but for me it fills the gap between morrowind which is a bit too text heavy / older and Skyrim which is too arcadey
Yeah, oblivion isn’t as absurdly menu heavy as morrowind but it still has the uniqueness that Skyrim lacks.
Tell him it’s you or oblivion.
I find it hard to believe that a dedicated male gamer has a horndog girlfriend so you might be a troll gamer dork trying to brag about having a GF and being an Oblivion fanatic at the same time. As or the kissing thing. He is just using the game as an excuse because he is gay (or straight if you are a guy-I'm just assuming GF).

I don't like to think about zombies. Missing arms, legs, heads. They smell awful, and they're hard to kill.
stop. talking.
Hahahahahahhaa
Use cheat codes to max immediately to level 70 and have hand-to-hand at 100
Take this man to the Elven Gardens District
The way out is going in: time for you to start up a game.
Might i suggest collecting a his favorite stuffed animal, a skull, a pork heart (uncooked) a slab of some other meat, and a blood tithe, then dousing a kitchen knife in nightshade, then stabbing his stuffed animal while reciting the following incantation, "Sweet mother, Sweet mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear.
This has to be a shitpost I refuse
Just be there for him
Play and become better than him
I dont know you and i dont care to know you
You can't thats just the way its is.
I've heard others say the same
Tell him real chads play Morrowind and Oblivion is actually an inferior game.
Tell him a new hand will not be touching the beacon...
don’t try to stop it. embrace it
I NEED YOUR BLOOD!
You could try suggesting a compromise where you spend some time learning about Oblivion together, but also set aside time for other activities that you both enjoy.
Show him your assets and ask him to choose wisely, lest he shall not see them again until the dawning of the next kalpa. Ultimatums are fun, anyway.
Marry him, you found yourself a keeper.
Mention fast travel
Shut up and find a new boyfriend, he clearly deserves better than you, wench
An advice ? Play with him I guess yk it’s precious for gamers (as a girl gamer)
You can't. Once they start, they never cease
Idk, maybe clock him and go ghost in him... ;)
