WHY IS THERE MORE!?

 

[Envelope]

I has gotten pretty impressive. Maybe it should have been only this more exciting half.

i think the overall reaction would have been much more positive

 

[phantomspiker]

They hit time why is it still going

The donation incentive was met.

They hit time why is it still going

it's almost like they should have skipped all the cutscenes during the run, to speed it up or something.

like a speedrun.

 

[Malmorian]

Please, let it end.

A speed... run? I don't know what that is, but it sounds exciting!

 

[dmr87]

Finally.

Back to games.

 

[MaximumSpider]

At last.

 

[Brashnir]

oh, just in time for Bethesda. Guess I'll catch up on some runs I missed.

 

[SargerusBR]

Any reason why they skipped Oblivion?

[Inumbris]

Alright here we go. Can't wait to see those Gamebryo/Creation games get absolutely destroyed.

 

[Luigi87]

I just laughed so hard at that.

 

[Dr. Benton Quest]

Any reason why they skipped Oblivion?

Pretty sure they did it last year. Not that that's a real issue. They probably wanted to get Fallout 4 in. Or maybe they couldn't get an Oblivion runner to come out.

 

[Mechanized]

Wouldn't be elder scrolls without punching rats.

 

[Mechanized]

That level up fanfare is ridic lmao

 

[Envelope]

i'm sure this was super technically advanced for it's time, so much so that it's almost looped back around to being impressive again

 

[painey]

lots of people online are mad at the trials run, suspecting it was sponsored and not disclosed.

 

[TheStig88]

I love every sound this game makes, especially the level up sound. EQ hype haha.

 

[Envelope]

lol these dungeons

 

[SargerusBR]

I'm getting Deja Vu here.

 

[Gurrry]

this little horn sound that plays in this elder scrolls arena game sounds exactly like the horn that plays in that old nickelodean show Figure it Out. the little chime would play when one of them would get a right answer on billy the answer head.

Elder Scrolls uses a lot of stock audio assets from commercially available sound banks. The door opening sound is seen in many other places.

 

[Luigi87]

As someone who didn't even know what TES Arena was, I feel tricked, lol
This is a good run.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Hahahaha, wow, people really believe that? Trials has been played before at GDQ events and it was fun to watch. It was just a shitty time-slot combined with a poor choice to play custom maps. Suggesting a game from 2014 that the runners play all the time is sponsored is ridiculous.

 

[SargerusBR]

lmao 50k for Oblivion run

 

[Gurrry]

that makes sense, i imagine nickelodean did the same back in the day

i know they also use that annoying ass nuclear alarm sound that is on every iphone now a days..

it used to be my alarm sound, now every time i hear it, i feel like im late for work or something lol

 

[ScribbleD]

lmao 50k for Oblivion run

15k.

 

[SargerusBR]

15k.

now that's more doable.

It isn't even the newest Trials game. It would be so weird for Ubi to push that XD

For those worried about spoilers in the Fallout 4 run - Bloodthunder posted this on reddit.

"You don't really need to skip fo4 because of spoilers. Besides the places you go, nothing really gets spoiled. We skip essentially all dialogue and you won't even be able to tell what is happening in the last 5-10 minutes anyways "

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

literally 'the elder scrolls'. All 17 of them.

 

[Lulubop]

MAH BOI

 

[Gurrry]

witness in like 2 hours?

edit: nvm. looks like 5-6 hours from now. fuck.

 

[mrplaid]

Can someone explain what's happening in the Elder Scrolls: Arena run? He picks up the piece of paper 17 times from the same dungeon and he beats the game? Whaaaaaat?

 

[TronLight]

Dude this Bethesda block. I missed Arena sadly, and it's 3 AM here :\

 

[Alrus]

Trying to make Oblivion happen like Doom yesterday, doesn't seem to be working

He explained it earlier, it's a glitch where every time you pick that item the next step in the main quest is considered done or something like that

The latest patch of the game makes picking up the item complete your current quest IIRC.

daggerfall is such a cool game

I don't see it on the schedule. Was it a donation incentive?

 

[Sixfortyfive]

I don't know either and what is way more surprising is when you learn there's someone better when you just though that you just saw the best o.o

I was like "it can't be no way!"

Check out the TGM runs from last year's AGDQ and SGDQ. They had some Japanese players present for SGDQ 2015. Kan in particular was a beast.

 

[shockdude]

Watching the TGM exhibition now since I missed it earlier.
I'm so glad that Twitch saves the chat with their stream recordings these days, it's hilarious and it makes the experience so much better.

 

[Gurrry]

yeah i think its going to be after the crypt of the necrodancer

 

[Luigi87]

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall

You see those dots? You can go there.

 

[Accoun]

The mightiest boot on this side of Duke Nukem.

Standard Bethesda fare.

A glitch in the latest patch of that game that made a quest object respawn. However picking it up multiple times continues to advance the number position of the story key item, as opposed to resetting it, so he just exploits picking up that first easy item 17 times to make the game think he's completed all story objectives.
