30th set of 30 minute speedpaintings for my Let's Paint: Oblivion series. These were all painted live on stream! I'm thinking of splitting these posts into the individual paintings so I can includes timelapses, since tumblr doesn't allow you to post more than one video per post. Thoughts? Anyway, this was an especially chill stream, everything I ended up painting was quite mundane for once - no dead bodies or magic nonsense, just hanging out in and around Chorrol. The first painting is, confusingly, not a pie - I don't know why the sweetcake model in game looks exactly like a pie, maybe I'm missing some key piece of lore.

'My sister has always been the most pious of us, more so than even our father. If it appealed to her, I would not doubt Idrissa's ability to stand tall before the congregation and speak of Stendarr's benevolence and justice.'

-- Samson Valga, commenting on his sister's inclination towards Stendarran piety.

Okay, so the other day I complained about Oblivion's main quest storytelling being less immersive. But so far my favorite moment of Oblivion, first time playing and on about 2/3 full difficulty at first after finishing Morrowind - which has enemies that can't use doors vs. Oblivion enemies who usually don't use doors - has been when I entered a random cave, looked to my right, saw a troll fist about to punch my face (!), tried to defend, realized there's two of them (!!), ran out, realized they were following me (?!?), leapt on my horse, realized they kept up with the horse cause I could hear them right behind me (!!!), galloped all the way back to Chorrol, leapt into the gates, realized I didn't fully know the horse gameplay mechanics and wondered if Prior Maborel's trusty Painted Horse was going to be troll chow (?!?!), waited an hour in town to heal my wounds, peeked out the gate, and the horse is gone but the trolls are still there (!!!!!)

Horsie is thankfully okay, but after playing a bit more the trolls might just be, um, blocking the north way out of Chorrol. For the rest of the game. rip everyone who needed to use that gate
