>murder the last guy and his his brother
>get my reward from this guy
>go to the main guard
>can't talk about the crazy guy anymore with him
>not telling the Suriles so they'll go wail on Glarthir only for you to step in and stab the shit out of them
Y-y-y-y-you came. You're sure you werent followed?
There are fags that STILL, and I mean STILL, say Oblivion doesn't have the better quests.
Coincidence? I think not!
Ask any skyrim-fag to name one quest more unique or memorable than Glarthir's and they'll always come up short
I've identified him as one of my keeeey suspeeeeects
Anyone else try avoiding glarthir for as long as possible?
I don't know you, and I don't care to know you.
Oblivion does have good quests. It's true.
Morrowind is still best TES though.
BY THE GODS, THERE'S A PSYCHOPATH ON THE LOOSE!
Stop talking.
>That feel when the Dark Brotherhood questline
>The Purification
Spill some blood for me dear brother
Yeah man! I fucking loved those characters. That quest truly made me sad.
Get out of my way before i have you slapped in irons
You're gonna handcuff me then slap me?
>that feel when had to have put at least 500 hours into Oblivion on the 360
I wish there were a way to see just how much time I put into it back then
I love Oblivion so much.
I really liked Skyrim (big es fanboy) but it didn't have the same memorable quests and characters Oblivion did.
Buzz buzz little fly
I can't remember, was it Lucien Lachance that made you cleanse the Cheydinhal sanctuary or the traitor guy who swapped the dead drops?
Why was everyone in Cheydinhall such an asshole?
Oblivion was traditional high fantasy turned up to 11
That god-tier Jeremy Soule OST only made it that much better to just explore. No Fast Travel runs are the best kind of experience.
>Asshole to you the entire time since you joined
>Wants to get off on a new foot when this quest begins
What did he know Sup Forums?
>Oblivion
>Memorable characters
Lucien ordered the Purification but didn't realize they were deceived until afterward.
no
Why does everyone on the anvil docks have the same VA
I seriously don't get it either. A lot of people actually say that Morrowind has better quests, despite the fact that 95% of the quests in Morrowind are boring and unmemorable as hell. Going through the guilds in Morrowind fucking sucks because all the quests are so uninteresting,
No. The traitor ordered the purge. Lucien had no reason to
Exactly. Was a memorable scene, wasn't it?
I never liked how this was done. It was lame that he changed his tune toward you during the quest. If I made it, I would have done it that for a few quests prior he would gradually be warming up to you.
because they are all skooma addicts
seriously. the orc family that lives there operates a skooma smuggling ring and are partners with the camonna tong. they do the transfer a few miles outside of town every week then bring the skooma back to the city. then every week, i forgot which day, all the important people meet up for a giant house party, including the orc skooma king pin. there's skooma littered all throughout the house so you can assume that's what they are doing
what's interesting to note is that none of this relates to any quests. it's just shit going on in the world of oblivion that many people don't notice. it's these little things that made me get over my hate for the game and really fall in love. that and around 30 essential mods
Potion seller I am Going into battle
Aside from him calling him redguard/breton, that conversation was totally fine
I take that back. Lucien was the one to order it.
Is there a better guild quest line than Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion? Or even a better quest line in general? DB in Skyrim was lame as fuck.
I like how in Chorrol, one of the NPC's houses has a basement with skulls and weird shit in it. I don't think it related to any quest, it would just some detail how he was a fucked up person
Holy shit I never knew, also what mods do you recommend? I just run a tweaked enb, unofficial patch, character overhaul to fix the faces and a faster arrows mod
didn't the music change in his basement too?
I personally think Skyrim's was better. Having to kill the Emperor was a really cool goal that made me really excited to see the quest line to its completion. Plus, that mission where you have to confront Cicero was very tense and well done, one of the best quests in the series in my opinion.
When I first learned that I was to kill the Emperor it made me extremely excited. I actually thought the story would kind of flame out and end before it, and I was pleasantly surprised you actually did it in the end.
None better but the Thieves Guild questline gets close
>mfw your final mission is a heist to steal a motherfucking Elder Scroll right inside the Imperial Palace
i haven't played oblivion in almost nearly 8 years, man. i don't remember all the mods i used. definitely get one that removes level scaling and gets rid of every bandit wearing full daedric armor. there's also a sneak mod that you should probably get. i'm sure /esg/ has a list, just don't read below the op
This was my favorite too. Hands down.
Was it the big manor like house? I think many npcs keep going there. Never noticed the skooma though.
The good quests in Morrowind are the ones where you go into some really deep, old ruin or shrine and have to collect a powerful artifact. The enjoyment from them came from the really significant feeling of the place you were in, the epic monsters and sense of history. But as "stories" the quests were utterly dreadful, all the NPCs had no real personality at all, no real emotional motivations, it was all just "do this, go there, get this". The game is freakishly impersonal. I never felt like I was doing anything important and I never had a reason to care about any of the characters. People shit on Oblivion for having less depth but at least the characters have more life and I felt like my actions actually impacted them
You should have PAID THE FINE
YOU N'WAH
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE HIGH ELVES?
Killing the Emperor was fucking dog shite.
>Jump onto boat
>Stab bunch of guards
>Stab emperor
>Jump off boat
>Fast travel to sanctuary
>quest over
Legit had no tension. Compare it to having to steal the fucking elder scroll, sneaking past mother fucking blind moth priests where it doesn't matter if you're in the shadows because they're fucking blind and will hear you anyway, plus all those items you collected previously just to use them all in the great escape once you got the scroll. It felt like an Ocean's Eleven heist and it was fucking great.
Why'd the vampire always look like he was trying not to laugh at you?
...
No, it is generally agreed it is the best.
Oblivion is probably the weakest of the current elder scrolls games overall in my opinion, but it did have some good quests. DB and TG mostly. MG and FG were pretty bad.
WHATS GOING ON WITH YOu
WHO GOES THERE
the final mission wasn't that great, but I thought the idea of killing the emperor was a brilliant idea for the questline. In the mission where you first learn of the contract, I was blown away
>mfw I forget to equip the boots of Springheel Jak every fucking time I play this mission.
PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD
why all oblivion charatchers look like fugly pos? even morrowind has better faces
Oblivion's best quests are better but it still has some flaws.
All the Guilds suffer from the same Scaling mindset that everything else does. There are some mods to fix it there too, but I like that in Morrowind you actually needed to have a certain level in relevant skills for advancement in the Factions. Prevents things like in Oblivion and Skyrim where you can not know how to cast spells but still be the leader of the Magic Guild.
HURHGBHGBHBGHBGHBGG
>not unequipping them at the last second so they don't get destroyed and you get to keep them to make the mission easier by 10x
seriously it helps to be able to jump five thousand times higher than i normally would
fuck that last mission with the keyhole though, my 12 year old self loved it
I've heard others say the same.
>Oblivion is probably the weakest of the current elder scrolls games
wrong opinions, maybe you should try going back to neogaf?
skyrim is objectively trash. you can't make a valid argument as to why it's a good game because it's not
a lot of the best quests in the game were just random town quests
>the one where you buy a house and you find out its haunted
>the one where you rent a room on the boat, and when you wake up its out at sea and taken over by pirates
>the one where you go into the painting
>the one where you go into a person's dream
Yeah the guy is a secret Mythic Dawn member. I love the amount of shit you have to discover on your own, like that house you can buy that's fucking haunted but you never know until you actually sleep there once.
No inn keepers that magically know everything that's happening in the province, just you having to go there and explore.
>ywn have a qtp2t dark elf kill you
>ywn have a qtp2t dark elf drain your soul
>ywn have a qtp2t dark elf fuck your rigor mortis'd corpse while you watch from the soul gem literally cucking yourself
>ywn have a qtp2t dark elf enchant your soul into her new daedric dildo
God I can hear it in his voice
Too much chameleon and/or invis pots makes that mission a cakewalk, sadly. Still felt pretty fucking epic pulling it off for the first time.
>>the one where you go into a person's dream
That was a Mage Guild quest wasnt it?
who else replayed the dark brotherhood house party quest 20 times just to hear all the dialogue
I did this to Anoriath the meat seller in Whiterun a few times and had more fun that ever doing the dragon stuff
Is there anything you can do with that information though? It doesn't have to be a quest, but you should at least be able to tell the authorities about it.
honestly Skyrim is a much better game if you ignore the main quest so dragons never show up. I don't know what the fuck they were thinking with the random dragon encounters.
>walking along
>HUH HOOAH HEH
>fuck not this again
>draw it into town so NPCs help me
>after it's dead NPCs go back to talking about menial everyday shit as if they didn't just battle a dragon and it disintegrated
Perhaps you should go back to neogaf yourself you tryhard faggot. Skyrim's better than Oblivion but worse than Morrowind.
I played Oblivion first, it isn't even nostalgia speaking. It's just a deeply, deeply flawed game you piece of shit clown. It needs mods harder than any other game in the series due to how fucking busted it is. There is NEVER ANY reason to explore if you aren't sent somewhere by a quest. There is never any hidden loot or reason to pop into a cave if the game didn't tell you to go there. Skyrim was smart to add a few unique item or Word Walls and the like to give you a reason to actually explore the world. Oblivion's fucking retarded scaling world means you'll always find the same shit just with a different coat of paint.
It was related to the Mage's guild but not from the quest line.
>that murder mystery house
>turn the last two victims on each other
there's nothing you can do with it. however, i installed a skooma dealing mod where i could set up distributors in cities so i role played like there was a drug war and eliminated the orc competition then set up my own distribution network in cheydinhal.
uesp.net
Probably my favorite quest.
>crawling through the sewers
>finally find the entrance to the palace
>it's the fucking imperial guard barracks
It's an all time great elder scrolls quest. Skyrim's was just a run through a generic dwarven ruin
By Azura, by Azura, BY AZURA IT'S THE CHAMPION
i didn't read anything you said. go back to neogaf, KIDDO~
your shit taste and objectively wrong opinions will never be accepted here
I still remember playing the 360 version with a friend, and he'd just gotten Goldbrand and wanted to try it out on someone and ended up getting into a fight with that Cheydinhal Guard that's marked essential until you've done the painting quest, and a power hit sent the guy flying from the steps of that manor all the way into the wall of the house across the street. I don't know why we laughed as hard as we did.
Oh you're a shitposting.
I guess people should just report you for violating global rule 6.
If you do get banned, enjoy your time back at neogaf or reddit or whatever hole you came from. It's obvious from your overcompensation.
didn't read
You like the level scaling in Oblivion?
>there's console playing subhuman retards in this thread RIGHT NOW
The level scaling is the best thing in Oblivion.
youtube.com
Will it come out before TES:VI Electric Boogaloo?
I've never seen someone defend Oblivion's level scaling system before like this.
I suppose neogafaggots like these two really do cling to their consoles.
It's definitely better than the level scaling in TES:O or Skyrim
I do still miss my dwarven halberd...
GO BACK TO LE NEOGAF
Were his eyes purposely designed to be lopsided? You can't do that in the character creator.
>really liked this guy
>hes exploring a dungeon with me
>I run across a trap without realizing it
>he follows and gets shoved by a floor plate into ceiling spikes
I was pretty crushed until a few days later he reincarnated
Why can't we get more fantasy RPGs that are somwhat goofy or cheesy like how Oblivion was?
