I don't know if this is on here at all, or even wanted on here, but I really wanted a topic like this.

I've had quite a few odd occurances in my Oblivion travels. Just a couple minutes ago while I was doing a quest involving releasing a pirate ghost's spirit from a ship, I had two of them. Firstly when I was on the ship, I jumped up while fighting a wraith and landed in a barrel....I became stuck. I was stuck for twenty minutes trying to get out of that damn barrel. I didn't want to reload my last save because it was an hour earlier. I finally got out. The second odd bit came when after I released his spirit and he gave me a treasure map for my services, I was swimming to the chest underwater and as I'm passing under a low bridge I see a troll body floating to the top. "Huh?, I don't remember killing that." I open it to see what it has, and I take a poorly written note, some gold and something else. This is what the note reads. "Mee wurst troll evurr. Nobody pay brigg tole. Me nott sceary enuf. Mee gett drunc an kil sellf. Troll droun." A fucking troll killed itself! I laughed so goddamn hard after I read that. What experiences have you guys been in?

lmao, where did you find the trole? Nothing really worth telling has happened to me, im still early in the game (level 10).

I found it a ways south east of Bravil. When the niben bay turns into a winding river in the south east. Find "the mouth of the panther" and just swim the winding river until maybe you come across it. If you get there in time, please try to stop it from killing itself. Pull a martin riggs from lethal weapon. "Do you wanna jump? Well that's fine with me!"

Whenever you find the Sanguine shrine....don't do it. I was on the run from the guards for a half an hour, and had to lay low until my fence that would lower my bounty would show up. It's funny, but a big hassle. What's really funny is the paper I read the next time I was in Leyawiin. It has to do with what I did for the sanguine quest. Very funny stuff.

I stopped finding quests.


I blame Voiced dialogue.

all the characters sound the same

they have like 6 voice actors, its so lame!!
and the female voices are so bad!

HAHAHAHA i noticed that too. each race has like 4-6 diffrent voices for the male and female. its like they choose a voice to match the age of the character so all 20-30 year old imperial males have the same voice. kinda annoying but doesnt stop me from playing!

says the person who hasn't finished half of the guild quest-lines or the main story yet... you know those guilds do spawn more quests past their own questline.

thats what I was trying to figure out..

so he stopped looking for quests because of the lack of voices and wont approach NPCs anymore?

weak

Do they really spawn more quests after their questline is done? I had no idea about that, I figured once I finished it there would bew no more quests. Thats cool.

Totally weak, really I don't find it that problematic at all. I wouldn't expect them to have unique voices for every NPC anyway. If it bothers you THAT much turn the voice volume all the way down and just read the sub titles... Problem Solved

I was just mimicking the whiners. I love Oblivion, but I must admit it's more of an action game than a broad world (and I'm not talking about size).

Love it, though.


edit: I meant I blame voice dialogue on the short amount of non-guild quests. Morrowind has a myriad of quests everywhere, due to the ease of creating them in the first place.

A few times in the game, while sleeping at inns or guild halls... I'll wake up and there will be a dude next to me in the bed. WTF?!

Which is why it is sooooooo important to buy a house and lock your door.

Who needs ruffies slipped into their mead? Not me, that's for sure!

I went to sleep and woke up, only to have the shit freaked out of me by the dark brotherhood guy

somehow I killed someone, but got no bounty or anything
very wierd

ive also had guards stop me and fine me for no reason at all (it seems) like 5 - 20 gold fines

Saw some lady sleeping on her bed sideways. When she woke up, she appeared to be coming up through the floor back into the room. Its was kinda funny lookin.

somehow while dupping frost arrows i glitched and now it says i have 1k arrows in my inventory but im only at 250ish weight with all of my glass and 4 bows and 3 blades!!! weightless arrow glitch maybe? oh yea and i shot a ton of arrows and the number wasnt going down. kinda odd.

If someone's saying a speech, if you talk to someone else nearby and then exit the conversation window, the speaker's mouth is still moving but you hear nothing. (Arcane university or Dagon shrine)

i was asked by a girl what the fine was for necrophelia, i aked her if it was a first offense and she says "Let's assume.... no."

Yeah that's in skingrad. I was hoping there was quest with that chick...

I made the mistake of making Acrobatics one of my major skills and can jump out of towns without loading. It is strange the world is not all textured and the gates to get into the town is not there at all, just a brick wall. I have managed to do this in Anvil and Bruma.

Something pretty funny happened to me during my first few days playing. I was doing the mages guild quest in Bruma I think it was. The one where Mannimarco attacks the guild hall. I go in and get the skellies chasing me and run out so the gaurds would help me. I drug them through town and half of the town's guards on the skellies just beating the hell out of em.

They must have hit eachother a few times because once the skellies were dead, they kept fighting eachother then the civilians got hit with arrows and a few of them started attacking the guards. Eventually they stopped but later when I went back, a lot of the towns population had arrows sticking out of their faces and their necks from the fight. I just couldnt stop laughing because they were walking around with these arrows stuck all over their bodies.

Oh yeah, this is very funny, I actually lawled... hard.

Some of them are just flat out ridiculous.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Trentdadi....I don't know which to laugh at more: what happened to you in the game, or the pic you chose for your avatar.

The sheograth quest was fairly odd. I did the spell and everybody stripped down to their skivvies except the guards. The guards went straight for me, and I resisted arrest and bolted for the door to exit. I was on the run for a half an hour trying to get the guy in leyawiin to lower my bounty, but the sonofabitch kept running away because the guards were on me. Of course I had a moment of stupidity and I didn't realize that he was only my fence and couldn't lower my bounty. I then went to the only one at the time who could, and low and behold I have to wait a few in game hours tell she unlocks her damn door because if you lockpick it she gets pissed at you and won't talk. By the time I got my bounty down, I went in and looked at my character. I had about 20-30 arrows sticking out of me. Five were straight through my groin. That is so far the weirdest and funniest quest I've had to do. Almost as funny as what happened to me in GTA: San Andreas in the mission where you jump out of the airplane. Long story short on that one....I got caught in a fucking windraft I guess and couldn't descend properly so I let the chute go and I landed in the goddamn govt. base. I ran for my fucking life or what was left of it, and I made it to safety with (I'm guessing here) about 1/18 of health left.

oh man, i cant click straight, im laughing so hard

The Alchemist shop chick in Skingrad. I talked to her the other day and she said "*her first name*. House Hlaalu. As if that matters around here". When she said it it very clearly sounds like she says "... I'll swallow. As if that matters...".

I love it when you have guards chasing you and you get your bounty taken off, then when the guards finally get there, they run up and say something like "Good day, citizen" instead of the usual option to go to jail, resist, etc. then they calmly walk away. This has happened to me countless times.

your gonna be banned for profanity!
this is my fav:

(a monkey)

The PC version is sweet being able to create mods yourself I even found a modding pack.

I found the troll from the first post, he was below the only bridge in the SW corner. The message is prety funny, he also has a bottle of wine on him . Ans the monkey, in one of the above posts, has boobs .

I got busted last night by a "plain clothes guard". He looked like some bum walking around and when I talked to him he was a guard and busted me.

Under cover cops!

You werent a Redguard or something were you? lol

no, they don't like the orcs. Damm smelly orcs, i hate them

I was doing the quest for Sheogorath, u know, plague the innocent town of border watch and watch them all run around in terror. I don't think I will ever see something more enjoyable than fiery dogs falling from the sky, but after they all stopped falling, one got up! This dog, on fire, fell from the sky! The impact alone should have killed him but he just hopped up and to this day ambles along the streets of Border Watch. I wish I could bring him to my house . . .

Whenever I was in the Imperial City, a certain individual attacked me (won't go into details, so as to not spoil anything). A bunch of guards decided to help, but I guess one guard hit another guard. That started a huge brawl with about 8 guards. One of these guards was named, and of some importance later in the game, so he couldn't be killed...just knocked unconscious. He ended up beating down about 7 other guards, and then walked away like nothing happened. Seeing as though this all happened right in front of The Best Defense, I decided to take the opportunity to make some cash. My +85 Mercantile and 80pt. charm spells helped me get a really good deal, and I sold every piece of armor/weapon off of the fallen guards. I felt so dirty...and by dirty, I mean filthy rich.

Has anyone else ended up falling from very high (and dying) after closing an Oblivion gate? Nice views for a seconds.
