Reaching the end of the world in Oblivion

Previous thread:
tl;dr I'm trying to reach the end of Oblivion's physical space by sheer speed. I've long since passed the edges of the playable area, and while I did find some actual terrain suspiciously far from where anyone could possibly see it, I'm now completely in the void.

Call me crazy, but I've been running towards the end of the world for days now. My character's shaking in 1st-person is becoming spastically violent, but I think I'm almost at the end.

Does anyone here know what'll happen? I've must've run over hundreds of thousands of miles in-game by now.

fuck off retard

Wow! That reminds me of something something that happened on my main Oblivion (Elder Scrolls IV) save once. It's a long read but I think it's worth it.

So in Oblivion there's an item called the Skull of Corruption, which you can use to clone NPCs. Using a glitch, you can use it to permanently clone yourself.

When I discovered this glitch online, I had already played Oblivion to exhaustion. My character, Nickies, a Breton battlemage, was nigh-invulnerable, and had spells that could one hit Minotaurs. It was pretty crazy, but it got boring fast. I decided the only challenge left was to fight a version of myself, a permanent clone, a "Nickies Black," if you will.

So I did the glitch, purposefully not wearing my best gear as to make sure I can still win, but couldn't immediately kill the clone because his (my) healing spells were too potent. So, I left and returned, to see what would happen to him.

He had changed his equipment loadout to that of my own, real character's, including all my OP shit. Now I actually couldn't kill him...

Not only that, but he started upchucking a creepy mix of faction dialogue I haven't heard before, like "I'm sworn to die, are you?" and "The training of thousands has passed through me!"

Sometimes he would use my invisibility spells and flee, and I'd have to find him again. One time I found an entire town murdered, with him nearby. I even got bounties when I swore I didn't commit any crimes. Once I led him over a bayou to an underwater DLC home I had, and he equipped my waterwalking boots to easily keep pace - then, when I fled underwater, he swam under with me despite wearing said boots!

Other oddities include his Luck seemingly being higher for everything he did compared to my own, and being able to summon two things at once (which was actually IMPOSSIBLE in Oblivion).

Eventually our endless fight led into the Imperial City, the capital. (Continued in comment)

keep going you might achieve CHIM

or maybe go enough QPU's to land in a different cyrodil.

(Continuation here)

With the entire fucking garrison of the Imperial City, I managed to kill the bastard. I moved him onto the table in the center of the Capital Building for all to see. Half the city was murdered as a side effect, but hey, it worked. (Previous Pic Related)

Just a week ago, I tried to glitch again. When I almost killed the clone on my first try this time, he shouted "Why Brother, why?" - I hesitated to finish him, but he then cloaked and ran off somewhere. When I found him he was in my best shit again.

The bastard is able to trick me, and he can switch gear whenever he seems to feel like it. For example, in Oblivion NPCs always wear the first thing in their inventory - in my and the clone's case, this is a cursed hood I named AAAAA specifically to kill NPCs with (by planting it in their inventory). However, the clone refuses to put it on, instead somehow specifically choosing either my best headwear or whatever matches the set he's wearing at that time.

It just ... boggles my mind.

cool story bro

Someone said that I may actually end up on the other side of the game map like I would in real life with our spherical Earth. Is there any merit to that?

Oh wow somehow that story seems really familiar

>Someone said that I may actually end up on the other side of the game map like I would in real life with our spherical Earth. Is there any merit to that?
probably not since game worlds are usually heightmapped flat planar objects, but you might overflow your player position to make it effectively loop back around anyway. so, maybe.

all depends on the engine, which I think we all know is buggy as hell.

You would eventually overflow one of your coordinates and it would reset to the lowest possible value so I guess you would loop around. It might crash the game if that happens.

Is there any way to see your coordinates?
How do you know you are still moving?

What about this terrain that was randomly in the middle of nowhere? Testing shit?

aren't you basically just running into an invisible wall?

STOP.
IF YOU KEEP GOING YOU'LL ZERO SUM.

How can you tell that you're still moving forward if you're in the void?

I imagine he either drops an item or summons a dremora

This, I summon things to make sure I'm still moving.

Yea that's probably the strangest part.

For example, I found a small mountain range without collision about 2 map areas away from the playable area.

pic related is a weird square of water I saw after I must've ran dozens of map areas away from the edge of the playable map.

That's strange. Shit like this fascinates me but is eerie at the same time. It kind of scares me

Wait, you're playing on Xbox360?
How did you get into the void?

The combat looks better than I remember, using any mods?

you didn't even change your name you fucking faggot, jesus christ

It's Xbox One. I used stacking speed spells to break out of the world.

>or maybe go enough QPU's to land in a different cyrodil.

That appears to be exactly what just happened: xboxclips.com/The JinjaBaker/4c342449-40f6-487a-9ded-47fc143608b1

But something seems ... off about this version of Cyrodiil. The shaking has not ended and something is weird with the NPCs.

For starters, they're using the wrong voice actors. All the Imperials sound like Redguards and the Redguards sound like Elves.

Another thing is that their dynamic conversations are always in a bad mood, no matter who talks to whom. Everyone seems to hate each other.

Finally, when I walk near them they don't greet me. They stop and turn to face me like normal, but no voice lines play. Even if I walk away they follow me for about five minutes before resuming their usual schedules. They'll even follow through doors so it's not uncommon to have a throng of stalkers surrounding me as I walk through a city.

I also noticed that NPCs I KNOW should be dead in this save are alive and well in this version Cyrodiil. City-Swimmer was killed by the guards pretty early on for attempting to steal bread from another NPC. Yet here she's going about her business and never even seems to sneak around or steal. She talks with an Orc's voice despite being an Argonian.

The one thing that did seem to carry over is my faction memberships. I guess because that's a property of my character rather than a property of the factions themselves.

Trees seem to have no collision whatsoever and some seemingly random empty areas of the wilderness DO have collision, as if there's an invisible structure blocking my path.

I'm going to keep exploring to figure out if there's any patterns to these changes. Did my save data get corrupted? Is this an alternate Cyrodiil way out there or did I loop back around into the original?

ignore this guy op
fuck on, you genius

from how many buffs OP described i'd guess they are going so fast they just phased past the 'you cannot go this way' wall.

props either way though, making custom spells on console is tedious at the best of times.

This sounds like creepypasta.

and then adoring fan walked in made funny scream

Fuck off /x/ roleplayer
Go jerk it to succubi on your flat earth faggot

Xbox One? I wasn't aware the game was out on the current gen consoles, I'm going to pick it up when I get home, it's been awhile. The PC port is just too bad and no amount of modding seems to be able to fix it.

sounds like you made it to parallel cyrodil, if I had to guess, all the npcs settings, and some collision, got bitshifted since the game now technically has no idea where you actually are in relation to the normal map.

>did save corrupt?
probably yes, make a backup

Once you go out far enough, the ground is no longer solid, and you fall until you hit a deathplane.
How'd you manage to find your way around that? Are you flying?

jesus christ for real for how long have you been running ?

Can you livestream ?

It's backwards compatible.

This isn't me (OP) but he's almost right, I used Speed and Acrobatics stacking spells to hop out of a walled-in "exterior" cell in the Imperial City. pic related is what was around before I reached the void.

At first there were weird facade versions of Tamriel but eventually I just hit an empty void. There was nothing in it.

How did you manage to stick the landing? What level are you? I mean, I guess it doesn't matter because of how crazy powerful you can make yourself with potions and spells.

>This isn't me (OP)
stop posting any time

sage for shiut

I also like to masturbate to little girls and have dozens of mods for this.

Good trips bro

Haven't played oblivion for a while, but is there a featherfall spell, or is it just enough to have infinite acrobatics ?

this
op is most likely "moving forward" with zero velocity, aka standing in place while doing run animation
that's how you reach the border in most games, including some gta

English, please. Imposters have been a thing since the Nickies Black thread.

thanks man, try this 7 though

I plucked the hair from the head of a dying baby

Let me give it to you

Ah, my mistake. I thought you were one of those disreputable "reddit" gentlemen but you seem to be on the level.
Us fellow 4channer perverts must stick together. It is our mutual love of lolita that will ward off all the normalfags yes?

Yeah, I had that in Skyrim when I got over the wall in White Run.

In base game, you need 25,000 acrobatics to be immune to fall damage.
If you mod it with the unofficial patch you only need 250.
I'm not sure if falling damage is based on distance or speed, but I know you can get hit for 2000 falling off a mountain, and you can get hit for well over 30,000 by dropping from the sky.

Maybe 66,000 health (i.e. more than 65536) would be enough to guarantee immortality but I am not sure.

This thread is kinda interdasting

Wow, sure is a slow start to the JVK sequel.

some of the above is why tripcodes are a thing OP...

do you have shivering isles? you should try it there too, better skybox for one.

>Oblivion on Xbox

jesus christ how horrifying

There's no featherfall spell like in Morrowind, but acrobatics can help a lot with fall damage, the only way I think he could have landed that is with a fuck ton of buffs.

It's probably the best way to play it.

I'll try and link some relevant clips for context.

This is basically my situation right now. No music, no sound effects except for the wind:

And here's an earlier clip proving I'm still moving as well as giving some frame of reference for how fast I'm moving:

xboxclips.com/The JinjaBaker/a1bd4093-3c7e-4270-b705-b2067d893dd4

You exceed your grasp, Nickies

>that music
OP pls you're making me want to play it again, I don't have an xbox so I'll be stuck playing it on PC or PS3. Don't do this to me.

Oh shit

Post proof. I don't believe you.

>those spell names
kek

OP is currently being mantled in this thread

You've got a real bounce to your step. I bet you're quite the acrobat.

You should, it's a great game. If you get it on Pc get some Face mods and you're good to go.

Fuck, didn't I throw you into a bottomless abyss or something?

Just when I was thinking of resurrecting Nickies Black in-game, too.

...

I love cock

what the fuck happened here?

Ice cream?

...

...

Years of playing a battlemage does tend to clutter up the spellbook...

Walk like Nickies until Nickies walks like you

I'm Neutral

kek, Nickies didn't deserve this.

No joke though this is exactly what's happened to like half my stories about stuff that's happened in my Oblivion save.

Is Mantling real? Was Kirkbride on to something?

>(Continued in comment)
Oh yes. This is most certainly original work, and not at all copy-pasted from somewhere else.

Most likely, it was terrain they were working on but didn't get into the game itself. The developers/playtesters would find it easier to simply set it's X,Y coordinates well outside the bounds of player interaction, where nobody would find it, rather than attempting to remove the files and recode the game, possibly introducing bugs.

you the same guy from r/oblivion?

That might be the best explanation I've heard, although as far as I knew a lot of the terrain in Oblivion was randomly generated.

Pic related is a small landmass about 2 and a half maps away from the playable area, one of the last things I found (not counting the weird water square a ridiculous distance away).

Shaking is caused by floating point precision reaching it's limit

The reason the entire world is in detail outside of cities is because beth has a Lod copy of the map they paste around you when in a city
They don't bother trimming the parts you can't see because it doesn't make a difference performance wise

The extra shit outside the boundaries are probably old areas they pasted there for testing inside the game engine

If you travel far enough into the void you'll either floating point overflow and loop to the other side of the world or crash, but that could take weeks


Nothing out of the ordinary or interesting here, just basic computer stuff. Next thread please.

Real Nickies is that you?

CUM DUDE
DUDE CUM

>real nickies is a ledditor
>evil nickies is a Sup Forumstard
like pottery

Is this a pasta too now

I was born in that "shithole" and you are being very rude to it. It's the only place to reliably discuss Oblivion outside of here.

They told me to post my story here and I did and you faggots have done nothing but meme me to hell and back.

Give me a fucking break.

Is Skyrim better than Oblivion for lewdmodding yet?

This thread is full of niggers

Who is this cummie cutie?

HOL UP

Didn't the original OP Nickies say he beat Nickies Black by dropping him into the void?

This thread is about "Nickies" exploring a void.

WAKE UP PEOPLE

You're only memeing yourself.
After all, we are you.

OP is QPU aligned.

What do you mean? We're all Nickies here.

Sometimes I wonder if these posts are actually clones of me posting with the belief that they're the real OP

I have an illogical hate towards reddit, probably because I'm the only one of my friends who comes here instead. I won't apologize though Nickies, because you're nothing but a clone.

It is, but probably lacks lewd quest mods.

God I hate this gay larp shit

>not creating a new spell with a timestamp as the name and something about Sup Forums
I guess you're too busy exploring the void.
