The Making of Oblivion Part 1 of 4

[manujaci]

Todd Howard is my idol ever and forever!!!!!

[AWonderingWarrior]

@BadNinjasCom

Thank you for uploading this video. Are these 4 videos the entire making of? I was expecting more from a game that has been in development for 4-5 years. I'm curious as to where you got this footage from though. Was it the 5th year anniversary edition?

[N30NGamingVideos]

Todd Howard is great.

[deepoceanfan]

Anyone want a graphical overhaul for oblivion so we can play it like its new again but still with the oblivion vibe?

[comicguy00]

hipster dungeon

[kkae99]

thumbs up if you got skyrim but never played the ones before it.

[GordonFreemanMedia]

@kkae99 Your probably the only one.

[alstorp100]

@kkae99 no, thats just you

[SkeletalMunch]

They thought the dog scene was THAT funny? Uh...

[MkeyzITA]

@SkeletalMunch -Non-humorisms increased to 21-

[jaybates89]

It takes 50 people about four years to do a game? Just employ and extra 100 people and bring out two games every four years. Okay, I just want more Bethesda games.

[WhiteSlift]

@jaybates89 Actually, 268 people worked on Oblivion.

[halo6534]

@WhiteSlift No it was 65 people who worked on it, and 130 worked on skyrim. Most developers don't have a very big team. Valves entire companey is a mere 250 people working on multiple projects. Biggest development team is rockstar north which is over 1000 people who worked on GTA IV.

[WhiteSlift]

@halo6534 My claim of 268 working on Oblivion is backed by Wikipedia, and Skyrim development began years after Oblivion was released.

[halo6534]

@WhiteSlift Hahaha! Backed by wikipedia.....are you fucking kidding me....no offence but only fucking idiots would go to wikipedia for valid info. You do realize that wikipedia is written and edited by internet users right? Just a little word of advice the next time you use wikipedia as a trusted source of info. Which its never accurate cause most people on there just guess. And ya no shit work started years after oblivion. I can't tell if your a troll or just a  fucking moron.

[WhiteSlift]

@halo6534 Wow look, another of those "Wikipedia is full of lies" idiots, I've seen plenty of you. Go ahead big man, where'd you get your ridiculous "65 people" source from then, huh?

[halo6534]

@WhiteSlift hahaha wow ill go with the your just a fucking idiot. (Sigh) Watch the video more closely, at 1:05 listen to what he says..... you need to stay in school longer.

[WhiteSlift]

@halo6534 Don't try to reach me you filthy little coward, you can't stand up to my greatness and perfection. All I see is nonsensical, pathetic scribble from a scared little man who got beaten and battered by god's son. Now do not dare to try to waste one more second of my precious time with your ridiculous nonsense or you're gonna hurt yourself.

[JaredGivens1]

oblivion was one of the best games ever, it showed that peope can do a lot more with games and cods then they thought, thiswas one of the first games to include, forests, every part of te game was particularly mapped out, and there are almost no back drops, every thing is real basically.

[s0nic777]

@JaredGivens1

First game to include forests?

What!?

I'm pretty sure I can run around in San Andreas in a forest.

Or in Morrowind.

[JaredGivens1]

@s0nic777 i said one of the first, with the graphics it looks.

[stuviman]

did he just say the NPCs in oblivion are really intelligent?

[HunterDelirious]

@stuviman for that time period it was made in 2005

[RMJ1984]

CHESS CLUB!!! :D epic.

[fishcomputer33]

dungeon guy is insaneeeee O-o

[TheRoyalRedguard]

1 day 7 hours and 20 minutes

[ARavingLooony]

bethesda and bioware are the kings of making great games

[JunkHornet]

@ARavingLooony Bioware still would be if they hadn't made the ill informed decision of releasing DA 2, and casualizing the shit out of ME 3.

[Jabikz]

You nostalgia you lose.

[LAtrailers]

Great video... Oblivion and Fallout 3, two amazing games. :D

[codered1473]

God, the dungeon creators sound so unintelligent I feel like i could do a better job than them. But Y'know what do I know?

[Jackles2012]

@codered1473 I really don't. I don't know you, nor do I know if you could really do a better job than them.

[codered1473]

@Jackles2012 I dont know, I am just kind of frustrated by how basic they made everything seem.

[Jackles2012]

@codered1473 This whole video seemed pretty rushed and not very fancy, so I'm sure they were not prepared to go in depth on their job. I personally have done map creation in Source SDK, and although it is not the SDK they use, I can personally say it is not an easy task.

[MrNommas]

"Yes I was in the chess club" That made me lol, Todd is awesome :D

[Balthty]

I'm just going to assume that at some point someone is going to put the videos online. If youtube, I will watch.

[JustD3fy]

thumbs up if you didn't already thumbs this up

[lilwyvern4]

Thumbs down all the "thumbs up if" comments if you're fucking sick of them!

[PepsiDude999]

THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF THUMBS UP IF

[blehssed]

thumbs up because I want to be a thumbs up whore who wants to play SKYRIM REAL BAD

[laflugantabastardo]

Thumbs up if you have enough for people going "THUMBS UP IF...".

[tomroxelf]

Oblivion was a big let down for me, but Skyrim looks to be back on track.

Cannot wait.

[PistonHonda319]

1 guy made every fucking dungeon in Oblivion on that monitor?

[laflugantabastardo]

@PistonHonda319

Pretty much. That's why most dungeons were the same.

[makkasjakkas45]

@PistonHonda319 like a boss *turns from monitor and gives crossed eyed thumbs up*

[SpitFire8212]

@PistonHonda319 Maybe thats the reason why they all look the same^^

[TheCortexTube]

Hipster TES Dev

[ppldance]

THIS IS HER PUPPY NAMED DOG

[Achmeron]

Another one "Kill creatures, take their stuff and buy bigger weapons and kill bigger creatures..." cool

[Dovakhan]

@Achmeron I think Skyrim will be more like "If you have balls to kick some big creature' ass with your pathetic actual weapon, you'll get a nice big weapon in return, to kick both big and small creatures alike"...or at least I hope it is :)

[Achmeron]

"You dork. Go back to the Chess Club!" "Who's laughing now?" Well said... he's the master!

[OLDsnake519]

@6darkness6eternal6 i just built a chair that hooks to the pipeline for the toilet and has a hole in the seat, then i have a microwave to my right and a fridge to my left. there's a little table that extends from the chair that i can pull towards me when hungry. anyone saying goodbye to their social lives?

[ReaverGX]

@6darkness6eternal6 *sigh* yeah, skyrim can't stay off my mind.

[7ZaaaaaM]

@6darkness6eternal6 People can't thumbs it up before it was posted so... Completely useless.

[6darkness6eternal6]

@7ZaaaaaM dude i think the date on your pc is fucked up i posted that comment 5 days before skyrim

[dizzythegreat]

That guy with the white beard looks exactly like the census office worker from the beginning of Morrowind.

[Australian123Gamer]

Its still beautiful......

[pie189]

wow it looks like the budget of oblivion to skyrim has gone up by ALOT

[Dovakhan]

@pie189 ...and it has gone up from 1 dungeon designer to 8...and according to Todd, now each dungeon has a different touch/story/secret/etc (thank the Gods...Oblivion sucked at dungeon variation...).

[quazaque]

00:51 this is default Imperial character i played in Oblivion

[spartanses]

this looks so shit compared to skyrim now that we've seen skyrim

[TheStealthyCheese]

@spartanses No, Oblivion is still beautiful. But yeh, skyrim is better :/

[MagicLover3336]

no offence but the ai in oblivion is really bad xD they run randomly everywhere.

[Keadin84]

Anything that features Patrick Stewart is automatically awesome.

[bogmire777]

I love this game so much....

[lolippi]

Fucking great

[lolsroflomgbla]

IM ONE OF THE DAMN HEADS OF THE CHESS CLUB :D

[FictionPC]

[dashe95]

@FictionPC GOTC (Game of the Century) well at least until the next one comes out :)

[TheHamishbatten1995]

[SHEAFFEY95]

Thumbs up if they should already hurry up and make a Skyrim Dev Diary :D

[9HereticPrincess9]

Oh my god, they actually had a real person sneak through bushes and used mocap?! Awesome!

[9HereticPrincess9]

Kudos to rivve_ on Gamefaqs for pointing me here :D

[TheCnJStudios]

i am going to be a video game designer. todd, you inspire me.

[azjeff1971]

This is still my MOST PLAYED computer game in history. With mods, you can play FOREVER.

[MagicLover3336]

I was in chess club too. Planning to be in it this year as well :D!

[Kurruptification]

the elder scrolls is the best and bethesda is GOD

[poopzorpee]

@Kurruptification No

[Kurruptification]

@poopzorpee

what do you mean

[bodo635]

Video games are not toys, but ART.

[ErwinMaster]

@bodo635 Interactive art, unlike paintings or TV, thus better.

[iDraw3G]

@bodo635 no it isn't

[RavenFreitas]

@iDraw3G toys for those who play it, art for those who create them.

[mitomen2000]

Chess Club LOL :D

[analinvandrer]

Cannot wait for skyrim.

[112048112048]

3:16 in the background: "Skyrim's perfect"

[BKInbound]

@112048112048 actually she said "she gyrates perfect" but close enough

[Metal4Life007]

Haha. Todd is a cool guy.

[Sporevideomaker]

I lol'd when hes like

"Who's laughing now!"

...

"Yes, I was in the chess club...."

[GorillasRbeast]

@Sporevideomaker haha he's hilarious

[iKhicken]

Todd Howard and his obsession with flora :p

[InjexDnB]

Seems fitting that the AI part is only like 30 seconds long.

[lenowin]

Funny how the whole "Radiant AI" was nothing more than a scam to sell the game, thus all that dynamic relationship stuff never even happened, and it was all scripted. I love bethesda regardless, and hope they don't do this shit again with Skyrim.

[LordSeferoth]

@lenowin

You are a fine example how ignorant people can be. Oblivion have NPC who Eat,Sleep and Work. Radiant AI was flawed yes,but its still an amazing achievement from Bethesda to be able to create it back then. No other game had ever done anything like that before. Oblivion still has one of the most advanced AI's in the history of gaming.

[MrPoeta101]

1:21 is it me or does todd sounds like marty from back to the future a lil bit lol

[KILLERREZ666]

You guys know that lady who frys her dog? Yeah if you go to her house in her room is a dog fur carpet! LOL!

[livingxxgod]

@njorify Is that right? If I recall correctly, my Forza Motorsports 3 had a mandatory install. There was 3 disks and at least one of them was a pure install disk. You only use one disk to play.

[1D4VE]

@njorify I know he's not going anywhere. I've seen Beth's E3 booth pics and he's in those. I'm hoping he's changed his mind about the amount of unique art the artists can put in the game. I have a strong feeling that the 360's media size played a big roll in the recycling of assets ( such as models) in Oblivion. I'm hopeful there may be a mandatory install on the 360 so they can fit more unique items and art into Skyrim

[alliwantiscake543]

Emperor Todd Howard of the video games

ALL HAIL TODD HOWARD

ALL HAIL TODD HOWARD

[GabSoh1]

@JJBerthume

I came here after I heard about Oblivion 5th anniversary.

[Dennis123yeh]

Ha Tod "Yes i was in the Chess club" :L

[tnviroid]

Yes i was in the chess club

[Xblvestic]

Look at 5:26 there is a little girl in the background watching. ROFL.

[Dietpill]

Can't wait to see the making of Skyrim special.

[EndureFocusEngageDie]

The music so often makes the game, and in oblivion it's no exception..

[iaodfsh]

Hope the horses animation gets better in Skyrim. More like mount and blade.

[Kindbud321]

I hope every single character in the new Oblivion has a different voice. Every gaurd is different, every npc. The new one regaurdless will be bitchin'!

[DesertFoxCXVII]

@Kindbud321 are you stupid? do you realize how many fucking voice actors that would be? a

[Sunno94]

@Kindbud321 "the new oblivion"? you mean the new elder scrolls lol

[OneRealOG]

@Sunno94 lol i know, people are just use to calling it that, they even called it that on xplay at E3 lol

[1D4VE]

9:01 I don't like that guy. I hope he is not in the position to make decisions like this for Skyrim.

[halo6534]

@1D4VE ya i hope not either hes one of those people that wants everything down right here and right now and game design is art rome wasn't built in a day and neither was any video game ever released

[uSkyrim]

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Check out my channel, btw. Just made it. Lol. Not to brag or anything... IT'S AWESOME!

[ServerMaster42]

I wonder who does the voice for the guards....I would give him an award...

[TheWixbit]

hope they dont repeat their mistakes in skyrim!

[bud389]

@TheWixbit What the fuck are you talking about? What mistakes? The only mistake i could possibly think of is the levelling of the monsters/equipment, but even that helped to keep a nice consistent flow of new content being streamlined into the game as you advance.

[Seriath1]

one of the greatest rpgs ever created!

[XxDahamonnahxX]

2 people were quarterbacks for the cowboys

[H1sMaj3sty]

You dork, go back to the chess club?

Don't worry, Mr. Howard, to me, you will practically have rock star status.

[cuagmirag]

i guess you wont need a state of the art computer to play skyrim with decent graphics since it will be also on consoles. that unless you would want the game maxed out

[alexandra23drew]

OHHH YEAH!!!
