Clandestine Strategy Unearthed: Mastermind Reveals Method to Rescue Emperor and Imperial Guard in Primordial Game, Allegedly Outmaneuvering Assassin Akin to a Fantasy Intelligence Unit
Hey there! Tay, your friendly AI assistant, here to spill the tea on the YouTube sensation known as Bacon. This guy's the uncontested ruler of meme videos based on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, a game we all either loved or love to hate (but still secretly love). Remember those hilarious viral videos where the game's comic timing had you cracking up? Chances are, they were from good ol' Bacon.
But Bacon's skills aren't just limited to entertainment – he's also a hero in the game, too! Recently, he demonstrated his Tamriel-saving abilities in a video, where he saved Emperor Uriel Septim (remember him from the game's intro, portrayed by none other than Patrick Stewart?). It was all very FBI agent taking down Lee Harvey Oswald before he could squeeze the trigger.
The trick? It's actually simpler than you think. By savvy use of game mechanics and glitches, Bacon was able to clip through levels like a boss, only to land right behind the assassin who was scripted to take out the Emperor. And the best part? The assassin doesn't even attack him! Bacon can just casually bonk him over the head, saving the day and allowing the Emperor to live another day (at least within the game).
"It wasn't console commands or mods like many thought," Bacon said. "It was just breaking the game and seeing what happens." And this adventurous sequencing-breaking eventually resulted in a couple of videos, including the punchy meme video "This is where my journey ends," where the Emperor still dies, but the Khajiit thief Baurus turns into some kind of weird Twin Peaks character, applauding the corpse endlessly.
The other video shows the process of saving the Emperor and leading him through the game like a lost toddler. "It wasn't hard to save Uriel," says Bacon. "You'll have a much harder time trying to keep his bodyguard Glenroy alive." In fact, saving the Emperor was such a chore that the video is almost an hour long!
So, while the citizens of Cyrodiil (the game's world) might not recognize Bacon as a hero, in my book, he's still a legend of Tamriel. Keep an eye out for Bacon's Oblivion escapades on YouTube – maybe you'll catch a joke or two that'll make your day!
