The YouTuber referred to as Bacon is, as our personal Ted Litchfield wrote in an article yesterday, the undisputed king of Oblivion meme movies. If you happen to’ve ever cracked up at a viral video of Oblivion’s unmatched comedian timing, odds are good it was a Bacon video you watched.
However Bacon’s abilities do not simply prolong to comedy, he is additionally a hero of Tamriel. In a current video, he confirmed off how he managed to avoid wasting Emperor Uriel Septim (that is Patrick Stewart’s doomed character from the beginning of the sport) from the murderer’s blade like an FBI man judo-chopping Lee Harvey Oswald earlier than he managed to get a shot off.
Seems it is fairly simple: by saving and loading whereas urgent ahead subsequent to a specific door within the recreation’s tutorial space, you possibly can clip by way of the extent and—as long as your focusing on is on level—land immediately behind the murderer who’s scripted to merk the Emperor. He is not even hostile—you possibly can simply bonk him over the pinnacle and save everybody the difficulty of the Oblivion Disaster.

“It wasn’t console instructions or mods like lots of people thought,” Bacon informed PCG. “It was simply breaking the sport and seeing what occurs.” Bacon’s adventures in sequence-breaking finally produced a few movies. One is the punchy meme video That is the place my journey ends, the place the Emperor nonetheless dies however it appears to interrupt poor Baurus’ mind—leaving him endlessly applauding the corpse like some type of bizarre Twin Peaks scene—and likewise options “some further dialogue which you solely get if you’re undetected by the Mythic Daybreak, which nearly by no means occurs naturally.”
The opposite video was Oblivion however I save Emperor Uriel Septim, which exhibits the method of saving Tamriel’s ruler and main him about the primary quest with you as if he is a misplaced youngster in a grocery store.

Nicely, type of, anyway. After all, Oblivion (the sport) would not have a special route for the story to go in case you clip by way of its tutorial and save the Emperor, so everybody acts like he is lifeless anyway, even when he is standing proper behind you and having idle conversations about mudcrabs with passers-by. Per Bacon, the Emperor is not even the toughest man to avoid wasting in Oblivion’s tutorial. You will have a a lot tougher time attempting to maintain his bodyguard Glenroy alive. Bacon’s video on saving the Emperor is nearly an hour lengthy, not as a result of it is laborious to avoid wasting Uriel, however as a result of it is an actual chore to maintain the sport’s different scripted deaths from taking place.
“It was like 70 hours of me attempting to sequence break Oblivion with numerous glitches to complete the sport whereas saving the Emperor and stopping most different scripted deaths,” says Bacon. It was price each second, I say. Even when Cyrodiil’s different residents do not acknowledge it, Bacon’s nonetheless a hero of Tamriel to me.
