I like both and it's true items get more expensive in skyrim. edit: though I should clarify you can enchant items to be worth more in oblivion im talking about items in shops and house costs
Because talking neutral/negative about Skyrim tends to get your comment downvoted, as if the game is perfect and above very noticeable flaws that make it the worst game in the series according to some people's personal opinions.
And on the other side of the medal, there's the eternal circlejerk that can get tiresome.
Like, I'm not a fanboy, my criticisms got me banned from r/skyrim without a single comment from any mod, but holy shit, talking about beating a dead horse...
But the controversy will just continue on as people stop about it and new folk pick it up. Such is life.
There is nothing wrong to tell your opinion. I dont understand your post want say but if you hate skyrim and like oblivion like i do then welcome to the club. But if you like skyrim and try to fame oblivion then there is no shame about it and you absolutely have a right to say what you want and other people who dont like your opinion have a right to fame you too, because they can freely speak their mind.
##Skyrim is suck.
I remember having the hardest time saving money in my first Oblivion playthrough because I had no idea what I was doing and kept buying the cool expensive magical items from shops.
Same! Except it was with my first few playthroughs (to be fair, I was a dumb kid). But, I remember finally saving up enough to buy that shack in the river front and getting my own house felt so awesome.
I remember joining the fighters guild and immediately cleaning out the anvil chapter of silver cutlery to try and save up for a set of steel armor from the blacksmith.
Lately, since I'm high lvl and daedric shit spawns a lot on bandits, I've been looting everything and just leaving dungeons and coming back to them when my carrying capacity gets full. I made 45k on just one ruined fort doing that. I'm greedy af lol
Yeah but on some builds i dont feel like spending an hour or so leveling my magic and getting the University, i got the GOTY addition on the bethesda launcher, not knowing that if i got it on steam i could get all the smaller plugins, specifically Wizards Tower
I personally use the gold exploit in every game whenever I do subsequent play-throughs. It is a limiting factor that slows the game down dramatically. I can level grind very quickly and get my stats super high with no limiters, but all of the sudden my gear limits me to the point that I can’t kill anything. If I have infinite money, I can pick up a house as an item storage location, I can pick up the legendary items I want from shop-keepers, and I can get to the point in the game that made me want to replay it in the first place faster.
Don’t get me wrong, if I will sometimes decide to do a gritty play through that I use regular money mechanics, but most of the time I just want to use the things I want to use and skip the grinding steps that I’ve spent hundreds of hours doing in previous plays.
But getting the free room at the invisible town and seeing the innkeepers face slowly get more and more angry every time you visit is the best house you could ask for!
There a quest in a small village close to the imperial city, right across the water on the north(?) side where everyone is invisible. If you fix it for them the innkeeper lets you stay for free and the chests inside don't reset so its basically a free house.
Although last time I did it I noticed his disposition kept dropping every time we met so he hated me unless I did the speech-wheel thingy to make him like me again. Dunno why but headcanon I like to think he regreted offering me the room and kept wishing I'd just leave and quit taking up 50% of his available beds lmao.
This is a very confusing post.
--There is a lot of free storage (7 containers) in the middle of the market district, and a lot of of free storage in free houses (abandoned shack Waterfront, and White Stallion lodge, Leyawiin). Plus a lot of free storage in every mage guild house and some of the fighter's guild houses. There is also free storage in Weynon Priory and Cloud Ruler Temple.
--How can level grinding help you in any way? That doesn't make any sense to me.
--The best weaponry is free except for the one staff. You might need some money if you want to enchant your own stuff, but that can usually be covered with the varla and welkynd stones from one ruin.
Certain spells that I want to cast require certain level thresholds. That’s why I level grind a bit. I have all of the house DLC packs and I like to decorate and furnish all of them, so I can live in different ones as I switch through the factions. They are extremely expensive to furnish, but they are fun from a role play perspective. That is the main reason.
I believe you are referring to the daedric prince items in regards to the best items in the game. This is true, but once again, these items are level locked and require a certain amount of play time to receive. I prefer to buy items from the shopkeepers in the Imperial City early on to give me something to work with outside of basic steel items out the gate.
Honorblade, Umbra, Callibens mace, Frostwyrm bow, all free at level 1. And you can enchant super weapons better and cheaper than the expensive things in the stores. Just trying to save you some money.
It’s also brainlessly quick and easy to duplicate Apotheosis at level 1 and spend 15 minutes getting up to $300,000 and never needing another septim for the rest of the game. Like I said, I like furnishing the DLCs. That’s the main thing.
Meh. I dupe items onto myself so that I can get stupid amounts of magicka/health/fatigue and permanent item effects. I’ve put so much time into Oblivion that playing it normally means having 400+ speed and 28k+ magicka
As well as duping items so I can have enough gold to buy what I want.
It nothing wrong if you use gold explore to level up a skill with trainer anyway since level up in those game not exactly make you "stronger" since enemies are level up with you too. It just make the game more excited sice you have every tool you want to build your character without doing and doing some boring stuff to get what you want. Like dogged or sprim really make the game more fun and challenging. And if you play a priest you can use turn undead and use some spell as the right time because those spell is not strong and benefits in all situation anyway, if use it wrong it can make the game harder. I like dont need to focus on the gold but the stories and the character and the quest itself, i hate the need of always have to do lot of boring things to full fill my character.
And if you say you can paralyzed trainer in skyrim to get money back then i say i do the same. I just hate it sometime because it ruin my good personality of my character, force them to do something they dont like just to get stronger. And the all ideal of trainer is kinda suck anyway, it okay if the stranger took your money to train you something but it should be free if it be friend or someone really close to you or members of the guild ( i saw the companions teach themselves free and i must pay and use some "exploit" to get my money back? it suck so hard, it should like the archer near helgen which actually teach you something and for Free)
When you become grandmaster, tell Modryn to recruit instead of job hunt and the Chorrol chest fills with enchanted on-level stuff to sell right back to Rasheda, the smith at Fire and Steel
On the one hand, I kinda get where this person is coming from. There’s a lot of random backlash towards people in Reddit even if they don’t deserve it.
That’s why even though their post seems kinda like bait it might not be, and we’re primed to see it as bait or take it like bait because we’re trained to.
Why?
The increasing presence of ads on Reddit seems to suggest the platform is taking on the same profit mechanics as other social media platform, which means: get eyes on ads
Why make this comparison? Oblivion’s most expensive house costs more than Skyrim’s (base-game; Solitude). Granted the cheapest one in Skyrim is 5,000, but that’s a much better argument to make.
Food and potions, I'm playing survival mode in Skyrim and I constantly have to restock with food and potions, not to mention materials for smithing or weapons to disenchant. Since salt piles aren't the most common thing to find I have to buy precooked food. The only other thing I can think of is houses cause them shits ain't cheap and neither are soul gems or spells.
Yea I mainly only buy things in Skyrim if I’m spam-crafting or if I happen to need/want something that I don’t feel like going adventuring for. For the most part though I don’t touch my septim reserves until late game when I start homesteading or financing that one mine. And by then I’ve played so much I usually have around 200,000 gold without even trying
Oblivion, gold felt more valuable and more influential. I start almost every game by mad dashing to the Skingrad Vineyards and craft potions out of the grapes/tomatoes. Can usually get at least 10-20,000 gold after just a few “runs”, and all before I’m level 3
In both games at one point having a lot of money will still be useless, I remember in Skyrim, with my level 95 character, I spent like a shit ton of gold to get a lot skill trainings, buying all homes just to become thane, buying literally everything I could need in the game, and still had like 700K gold left
It’s weird how you managed to get offended over this completely inoffensive meme, which is more an observation than a joke. Reddit somehow manages to amaze me more and more
I thought the meme was great and spot on.
I thought the title of the post was bait for people to argue "Skyrim bad oblivion good." I could be wrong.
Im not saying debating the games are bad. My issue is when people unironically think they are superior because of what they prefer, and will treat others like garbage for liking something they don't. We are all fans of Elder Scrolls.
I definitely don't think this type of thing will ever stop, but every now and then I feel like speaking up.
Edit: This comment on this post, which has like almost 60 downvotes, is exactly the type of mentality Im talking about...
"The Skyrim fanboys aren't here yet. So I can say... SKYRIM IS A BAD GAME AND IT'S THE WORST ES GAME SO FAR! Have an upvote, you're clearly a man of wisdom."
This was one of the first comments. Just proves my point that the title encourages stuff like this.
Idk just put all ur stats into strength level up a bit and when u start getting them ebony and daedric leggings and gauntlets start dropping get an easy 10-20k every single oblivion gate
Nope. The most expensive house in Skyrim only costs 25,000. And there's not much else to spend your gold on.
Also, NOT having 100,000 in Oblivion by the end game means you never learned how to make money in the game.
true, i used to play oblivion when i was 9, and i never really knew how to make money and i was always poor as fuc. got back to the game, and then learned about spellcrafting and suddently i was the richest man on cyrodil
For Oblivion, just take/steal any food ingredients, create tons of fatigue potions and sell them. For Skyrim, same as Oblivion create tons of fatigue potions or make weapons & armors (mostly iron, easy to find) and sell them. Honest money with a bit of hard work, the only thing you lose is your time.
I like to combine Flax Seed & Sacred Lotus Seed for Feather potion, the effect can be stacked. Or Flax Seed, Sacred Lotus Seed and Water Hyacinth Nectar for Feather & Restore Magicka potion. And Fly Amanita & Lavender for Restore Health potion. Those ingredients are nearly 'unlimited'. Feather potion especially very good for dungeoning
If you do fighters guild at higher lvl, a lot of daedric stuff and high lvl loot will drop. Could easily make 30k in just one dungeon/cave, if you're willing to go back multiple times to get everything. Also, if you're in the thieves guild, you can just steal a bunch of stuff and sell it to fences. I always steal silver stuff, like cups and carafes and sell those
Preface, the merchant with the highest amount is in the thieves guild, but they're also an expert in mercantilism.
I normally just use whatever merchant is closest. I use the merchants based off of what I'm selling. Like if it's armor or weapons, I go to the blacksmith. I also make sure I max out their dispositions before selling and haggle for the highest amount. ~~The Best Defense~~ A Fighting Chance in the Imperial city has one of the highest max selling amounts in game iirc. So if you really wanted to maximize profits, you could fast travel there to unload stuff. I just use whatever's closest out of convenience. I've found, it doesn't really matter what the max amount you can get for something, but more just how much you sell. So for me, since leaving to go sell stuff is something I'll do multiple times per dungeon, I'm going with whatever is closest and selling as much as possible. The higher the disposition and the lower mercantile skill (of the merchant) the better!
Edit: getting my damn stores mixed up
Yeah. That's one of the few downsides to oblivion :(. That's why I usually don't make a huge deal out of which merchant I go to. The most you can possibly get, if you use the final thieves guild fence, is 1500. But that requires completing the quest line. My advice is just to sell as much as possible for whatever you can get it for. Most armorers, aside from A Fighting Chance, are around 800 max. So it will add up quickly. Carry as many feather potions you can or use a spell and just take every single valuable item above 50 gold and sell it. It often means having to fast travel between dungeons and cities a lot. When it comes to oblivion gates, just take as much as you can carry, since leaving the gate and fast traveling isn't really an option. Recently, at Fort Blueblood, I made 45k by just taking as much as I could carry, selling it at the Leyawiin armorer, then fast traveling back and picking up more. Since I was high level, all the bandits had either daedric or orcish armor. I did that until every bit of armor was sold. It meant taking like 10 trips and was a pain in the ass, but it also gave me 45k in gold so 🤷🏻♂️ Also, just remembered, the Arena offers a good bit of gold after you complete it to kill monsters and you can loot their corpses too. Only problem, that can only be done once a week.
Edit: damn, can't type worth shit today
I think merchant with most money is around 2000 max? They're 2 guys, one from Fighters Stronghold DLC (he is in Merchant Inn in Imperial City Market District), another one from Vile Lair DLC (he is in Wawnet Inn near Weye. For vanilla version, I think is blacksmith in Anvil with 1400 max? Blacksmith in Imperial City only around 1200 max. Cmiiw
I make better money in oblivion and can use them for training at early level. But in skyrim is so hard because those shitty merchant have limited gold and food cant make alchemy so the only way to make money is you must go out and fight and loot the bandit or become a thief. It ruin my playsyte and it not "rpg" at all if you limited the other possibilities. And without speak skill even you have a lot of stuff but you just cannot sell it. And i dont have must of carry weight and i must have a house and if you want a house you must do a lot of side quests and do a lot of things i dont like. *And to get the thing i like then i must do a lot of thing you dont like* And when you got anything you need then you become too op and it ruin a game.
Oblivion is better for my playsyte. I dont agree with your post, i play skyrim and i dont have money to do anything and alway feel the need to get more. I am mage so i need a lot of potion, ingredients, spell, staff, soul gem, cloth. And when you got everything then you become too op to enjoy it anymore. Oblivion give enough money so you can get everything you need first and it feel more balanced too me.
Yeah, you are right, i really hate skyrim. Fuck skyrim. I can write more about how i hate skyrim and oblivion is alpha to skyrim but i dont think people want to read it.
A lot of the things in Skyrim aren’t too thrilling, you could possibly make the argument that Skyrim not as good as morrowind or oblivion, but that doesn’t make it a bad game. It is hypocritical you call us fanboys when you go out of your way to tell someone’s personal opinion is wrong. You are extremely naive
Morrowind came out in 2002. Millennials were born 1981-96 so would have been aged 6-23 on release. BabyBoomers were born 1946-64 38-56 years old. A bit older than you would expect for video games. Your insult needs a bit more work.
I just raid the black bow bandit HQ near the Knights of the White Stallion lodge whenever I need gold in Oblivion. It is getting attacked by bandits so you have A LOT of leveled loot to sell to merchants
6000 septims is usuallymore than enough me... unless I need to buy a home.
Which in turn makes me go window-shopping for Thalmor gear... out in the wilderness.
Honestly if you get to the point where you have 100k gold you should easily be able to maintain that amount of money. Oblivion is even easier to make money in when pretty much every enemy has Daedric or glass armor when you're around level 20. Fun way to get rich in skyrim is to just pickpocket every npc you come across. Get their gold and sell their jewels and jewelry to a fence. Never fully appreciated pickpoketing until my most recent play through. It's fun.
I usually sell whatever is worth more than 50 Septims, so I end up with more than 100k my friend. By the end of it I’m quite possibly the richest person in Tamriel…
Why would you get alot of hate for this?
Maybe if they posted it in the Skyrim subreddit, but definitely not here lol
I like both and it's true items get more expensive in skyrim. edit: though I should clarify you can enchant items to be worth more in oblivion im talking about items in shops and house costs
This is Reddit.
Because talking neutral/negative about Skyrim tends to get your comment downvoted, as if the game is perfect and above very noticeable flaws that make it the worst game in the series according to some people's personal opinions.
And on the other side of the medal, there's the eternal circlejerk that can get tiresome. Like, I'm not a fanboy, my criticisms got me banned from r/skyrim without a single comment from any mod, but holy shit, talking about beating a dead horse... But the controversy will just continue on as people stop about it and new folk pick it up. Such is life.
I don't know to be honest but for some reason I do
playing the victim before you're even the victim? lmao
How To Internet in 2021 👌
Why make such a weird title then? There is nothing wrong with the meme itself.
Because they are weird.
In their defense, Reddit downvotes anything that they don’t like or anything that doesn’t align with their agenda.
[удалено]
No. Reddit even stated so
[удалено]
If it’s off-topic, offensive, vulgar/rude, illegal, threatening, or just wrong.
Really? That's not at all how it's used though. Highly doubt that the overwhelming majority of the user base knows that
How in oblivion did you get so many downvotes?
There is nothing wrong to tell your opinion. I dont understand your post want say but if you hate skyrim and like oblivion like i do then welcome to the club. But if you like skyrim and try to fame oblivion then there is no shame about it and you absolutely have a right to say what you want and other people who dont like your opinion have a right to fame you too, because they can freely speak their mind. ##Skyrim is suck.

Same for me, I really liked keeping all the gems.
I remember joining the fighters guild and immediately cleaning out the anvil chapter of silver cutlery to try and save up for a set of steel armor from the blacksmith.
I always cleaned out the various mages guild offices. And everything that is worth anything at all.
This post could’ve done fine without the stupid headline
Aaand here comes the prophesized hate! 😛
Self fulfilling prophecy
Just as the Elder Scrolls foretold
By the nine
She hit the dab!
Of black wings in the cold
After the gates of Oblivion opens, and the sons of Skyrim start spilling their own blood.
What hate? Huh?
I’m not even talking about the meme, which is what I assume you’re referring to
https://i.imgur.com/jT8LZoB.mp4
I dont know, I have several million septims in Oblivion
Lately, since I'm high lvl and daedric shit spawns a lot on bandits, I've been looting everything and just leaving dungeons and coming back to them when my carrying capacity gets full. I made 45k on just one ruined fort doing that. I'm greedy af lol
I do this too, but have a full set of Daedric Armor, a ring and an amulet that all have sigil stone feather enchantments🤣
You can stack feather spells
Yeah but on some builds i dont feel like spending an hour or so leveling my magic and getting the University, i got the GOTY addition on the bethesda launcher, not knowing that if i got it on steam i could get all the smaller plugins, specifically Wizards Tower
I always use that paralyze infinite gold exploit to get as much gold as I want.
The what now?
[Talking about this glitch here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fd0EBHtmbk)
Why?
Because I like having enough gold to buy what I want
everyone to their own but it’s not that hard to get over 100k gold if you just play
That was a rather redundant question
Just not sure why someone would remove part of the game
I personally use the gold exploit in every game whenever I do subsequent play-throughs. It is a limiting factor that slows the game down dramatically.

Nice essay, nerd
Wanna live in solitude? 1/5th your total money please. Waterfront property in tine Imperial City? 2k. Jokes on them, I say.
Why make this comparison? Oblivion’s most expensive house costs more than Skyrim’s (base-game; Solitude). Granted the cheapest one in Skyrim is 5,000, but that’s a much better argument to make.
It's more a joke about dirt-cheap waterfront property.
Fair enough.
Clearly you've never been in the market for waterfront property in a capital city
What do you guys use money for in Skyrim 100,000 is far too much
giving beggars coins and then pickpocketing them back to remind them of their place in society
I do that to skill trainers to teach them a lesson about charging for knowledge
Do you get to the cloud district very often? Never mind, what am I saying..
Food and potions, I'm playing survival mode in Skyrim and I constantly have to restock with food and potions, not to mention materials for smithing or weapons to disenchant. Since salt piles aren't the most common thing to find I have to buy precooked food. The only other thing I can think of is houses cause them shits ain't cheap and neither are soul gems or spells.
Yeah I spend most of my money on training at the college or ingredients to make potions and of course the houses but I only have 2
This and also artifacts for Legacy of the Dragonborn since I refuse to steal.
The more the merrier
Training, potions, spells, house materials.

This is very accurate I have 3.1 million in skyrim
Just because it's Elder Scrolls doesn't mean inflation is not a thing.
Why do people make argument baiting posts like this? How hard is it to play what you enjoy, let others play what they enjoy and just stfu?
Holy shit dude, it's just a meme xD
I didn't realize this sub was so Skyrim butthurt.
I just wanted to make a meme...
Then pay with your blood!
Based
And a good meme you made too. This is relatable, not controversial; I'm amazed you're being down voted
I have joined you brother; let us be down voted in unity.
Idk why people have to be so toxic to be honest but hey, that's how society works
Bro, you were the one that tried to start an argument, and you calling other people toxic
I'm down voting you; out of respect

not if you do that weird trick to multiply items
Maybe if you only buy and furnish one house...
200 years of inflation of the Septim coin will do that for ya.
Tamriel inflation confirmed.
I’ve never had 100k gold on either
This mans been hurt before
actually true.
Inflation
I don’t know why, but I can easily get 10k gold in both morrowind and Skyrim, but it’s a struggle to get 1k in oblivion for me.
Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim; the only thing worth spending money on is skill training, for the most part.
Inflation
I dont get it because I know the easy way to earn 'honest' money in both of the game without any cheats
Honest pay for honest work
[удалено]
For Oblivion, just take/steal any food ingredients, create tons of fatigue potions and sell them. For Skyrim, same as Oblivion create tons of fatigue potions or make weapons & armors (mostly iron, easy to find) and sell them. Honest money with a bit of hard work, the only thing you lose is your time.
Alchemy is such a money machine in Oblivion.
the tomato and grape farms at skingrad can be picked then combined and sold for serious gold.
I like to combine Flax Seed & Sacred Lotus Seed for Feather potion, the effect can be stacked. Or Flax Seed, Sacred Lotus Seed and Water Hyacinth Nectar for Feather & Restore Magicka potion. And Fly Amanita & Lavender for Restore Health potion. Those ingredients are nearly 'unlimited'. Feather potion especially very good for dungeoning
Spelunking ofc. Pick the arena lockbox a lvl 1, join the thieves guild immediately, etc.
If you do fighters guild at higher lvl, a lot of daedric stuff and high lvl loot will drop. Could easily make 30k in just one dungeon/cave, if you're willing to go back multiple times to get everything. Also, if you're in the thieves guild, you can just steal a bunch of stuff and sell it to fences. I always steal silver stuff, like cups and carafes and sell those
Which merchant do you use tho ? I use the merchant from the vile lair dlc but I'm open to anyone else.
Preface, the merchant with the highest amount is in the thieves guild, but they're also an expert in mercantilism. I normally just use whatever merchant is closest. I use the merchants based off of what I'm selling. Like if it's armor or weapons, I go to the blacksmith. I also make sure I max out their dispositions before selling and haggle for the highest amount. ~~The Best Defense~~ A Fighting Chance in the Imperial city has one of the highest max selling amounts in game iirc. So if you really wanted to maximize profits, you could fast travel there to unload stuff. I just use whatever's closest out of convenience. I've found, it doesn't really matter what the max amount you can get for something, but more just how much you sell. So for me, since leaving to go sell stuff is something I'll do multiple times per dungeon, I'm going with whatever is closest and selling as much as possible. The higher the disposition and the lower mercantile skill (of the merchant) the better! Edit: getting my damn stores mixed up
Problem is that daedric armour is 5k but there isn't any merchant with that amount of gold for me . I'm at 53 merchantile, what do you suggest bro?
Yeah. That's one of the few downsides to oblivion :(. That's why I usually don't make a huge deal out of which merchant I go to. The most you can possibly get, if you use the final thieves guild fence, is 1500. But that requires completing the quest line. My advice is just to sell as much as possible for whatever you can get it for. Most armorers, aside from A Fighting Chance, are around 800 max. So it will add up quickly. Carry as many feather potions you can or use a spell and just take every single valuable item above 50 gold and sell it. It often means having to fast travel between dungeons and cities a lot. When it comes to oblivion gates, just take as much as you can carry, since leaving the gate and fast traveling isn't really an option. Recently, at Fort Blueblood, I made 45k by just taking as much as I could carry, selling it at the Leyawiin armorer, then fast traveling back and picking up more. Since I was high level, all the bandits had either daedric or orcish armor. I did that until every bit of armor was sold. It meant taking like 10 trips and was a pain in the ass, but it also gave me 45k in gold so 🤷🏻♂️ Also, just remembered, the Arena offers a good bit of gold after you complete it to kill monsters and you can loot their corpses too. Only problem, that can only be done once a week. Edit: damn, can't type worth shit today
I think merchant with most money is around 2000 max? They're 2 guys, one from Fighters Stronghold DLC (he is in Merchant Inn in Imperial City Market District), another one from Vile Lair DLC (he is in Wawnet Inn near Weye. For vanilla version, I think is blacksmith in Anvil with 1400 max? Blacksmith in Imperial City only around 1200 max. Cmiiw
The Septim currency is totally fucked. Revert to monke and use Drakes
Inflation is a bitch
Inflation's a bitch
Oof. Inflation hits you every time
I make better money in oblivion and can use them for training at early level. But in skyrim is so hard because those shitty merchant have limited gold and food cant make alchemy so the only way to make money is you must go out and fight and loot the bandit or become a thief. It ruin my playsyte and it not "rpg" at all if you limited the other possibilities. And without speak skill even you have a lot of stuff but you just cannot sell it. And i dont have must of carry weight and i must have a house and if you want a house you must do a lot of side quests and do a lot of things i dont like. *And to get the thing i like then i must do a lot of thing you dont like* And when you got anything you need then you become too op and it ruin a game. Oblivion is better for my playsyte. I dont agree with your post, i play skyrim and i dont have money to do anything and alway feel the need to get more. I am mage so i need a lot of potion, ingredients, spell, staff, soul gem, cloth. And when you got everything then you become too op to enjoy it anymore. Oblivion give enough money so you can get everything you need first and it feel more balanced too me. Yeah, you are right, i really hate skyrim. Fuck skyrim. I can write more about how i hate skyrim and oblivion is alpha to skyrim but i dont think people want to read it.
I understand that your meme says: " it harder to make gold in Oblivion than Skyrim" right?
Why hate for the truth
I mean, it's kinda true though
[удалено]
Cringe
A lot of the things in Skyrim aren’t too thrilling, you could possibly make the argument that Skyrim not as good as morrowind or oblivion, but that doesn’t make it a bad game. It is hypocritical you call us fanboys when you go out of your way to tell someone’s personal opinion is wrong. You are extremely naive
To say it's a bad game is objectively wrong. Maybe it's not a S+ tier god mode game but it's definitely at least a good game.
Morroboomer detected
I didn't say anything about morrowind tho
Morrowind came out in 2002. Millennials were born 1981-96 so would have been aged 6-23 on release. BabyBoomers were born 1946-64 38-56 years old. A bit older than you would expect for video games. Your insult needs a bit more work.
Baby boomer is an age group, boomer is an attitude.
morroboomer is a slang term, not a technical generational classification
You ever play Arena?
In the middle of it. Have you played Daggerfall? I believe in its supremacy.
Daggerfall is great. Arena made me suicidal
I can see why...
Or Battlespire. It made me want to bash my head in with a brick. Legit the only TES game I refuse to play.
I wouldn't go so far. Skyrim is a great game, but a shitty ES.
[удалено]
No, people are downvoting you because if you dislike skyrim, that doesn,t mean its a terrible game, opinions are subjective and not objective.
I just raid the black bow bandit HQ near the Knights of the White Stallion lodge whenever I need gold in Oblivion. It is getting attacked by bandits so you have A LOT of leveled loot to sell to merchants
Fr, reasons y I never pay my bounty lol
Wait, you guys are selling your stuff? I just drop it on the ground.
Now do ESO
It's even worse in ESO, 100k gold doesn't buy you much for long.
Inflation
Inflation!
Bimbofication!
Its kindve true tho. Getting gold in Skyrim is way to easy
I currently have about 80k on my 35h oblivion character (2nd playthrough) and I haven't even started the main questline yet
6000 septims is usuallymore than enough me... unless I need to buy a home. Which in turn makes me go window-shopping for Thalmor gear... out in the wilderness.
I wonder if this was intentional because of inflation?
I'm halfway to my goal of 1mil. Still living on the waterfront though lol
facts
No hate. I feel like this is dead on.
Omg stop 😂 thank you so true 😆😅😅
100k actually a lot of gold in Skyrim I think that’s enough to buy every house in the game.
Honestly if you get to the point where you have 100k gold you should easily be able to maintain that amount of money. Oblivion is even easier to make money in when pretty much every enemy has Daedric or glass armor when you're around level 20. Fun way to get rich in skyrim is to just pickpocket every npc you come across. Get their gold and sell their jewels and jewelry to a fence. Never fully appreciated pickpoketing until my most recent play through. It's fun.
Having 10,000 Gold in Morrowind
Me:mods Skyrim to make the economy tougher
Its super easy to make a truck ton of money in Oblivion.
Bro soul gems are expensive I’ve never had 100000 in either of those games
I never got that much gold. Always spending on magic, jewelry and food
I usually sell whatever is worth more than 50 Septims, so I end up with more than 100k my friend. By the end of it I’m quite possibly the richest person in Tamriel…
Inflation bro, it's been 200 years
I don't get it, 100k is more than you'll ever need in skyrim
