Fucking Mannimarco was SO disappointing. You're chasing down this rouge faction of necromancers, corpses nailed to the walls, spooky as shit, rumors of The King of Worms fly, you finnally make it to him, and he's an Altmer in a cave in a brown robe all ''I'm an immortal who used to be in the Psyjic Order, was there when magic was first passed from Mer to Men, I single handedly invented enchanting, soul binding, and raising the dead, You have to fucking PRAY to me to make black soul gems!''
And you lob an arrow at him from across the room and he says the same things ever Altmer in the game does and falls over dead. Like... really? I was expecting ANYTHING to happen in the fight at all.
They could have just made him a litch with some thralls and a health pool and damage output high enough to make it seem like a boss fight. I've had more trouble assassinatiing pirates.
The build up is ridiculous! Traven kills himself to give you that soul gem.
Mannimarco is supposed to be a god! How is he just a high elf in a shitty reskinned robe that needs a staff to reanimate a single corpse? Mannimarco in lore would use Mannimarco in game as fodder for experiments - getting merked by someone who might not even know how to cast a fireball. (Getting rid of faction requirements also annoys me, but if you’re so opposed to making people replay your game for all content and think it’s immersive that you can be the Grey Fox, Arch Mage, Listener, etc…, then at least acknowledge it somehow. Like, if you become Arch Mage before you do Thieves Guild, at one point you steal from yourself. I guess you also do become Sheogorath, maybe that insanity is why.)
They could have at least made a unique character mesh for him based on his Daggerfall design.
Despite all these shortcomings Oblivion is still my favorite TES game. The only thing that stops me from replaying it is the god-awful leveling system that requires loads of planning and min-maxing to make a character I am satisfied with. It's just so gosh darned beautiful and relaxing...as long as one completely ignores Kvatch.
Try Oscuro’s Overhaul (FCOM was also a lot of fun back in the day, but less lore friendly and more wild and wacky). I’ve also had good times with Oblivion XP’s leveling system.
It’s funny how it’s easier to beat the game as a level one dork that doesn’t use any of their major skills than to play the game normally. (Morrowind’s difficulty curve is a log function, Oblivion’s is an exponential).
The most fun way to play vanilla is on max difficulty with a conjurer character that cheeses permanent quest companions and hides behind summons.
