Stop Right There, Criminal Scum!: An Oblivion Live Blogging

I think it has to do with the Mythic Dawn armor. It's equipped through a spell, I believe, and it's not meant to be unequipped.

And yes it is◊.

@Goggle: OSR Pose mod. It gives you spells to force people into poses, which allows for some hilarious situations because the poses are mainly meant for female characters and the people affected by it can't attack you while they're in the pose, so they just kind of circle around you and shout one-liners if you aggro them.

Um...wow...your character has...a really spooky face ._.

Spooky?◊

-*Shudder* Yeah, seriously spooky! ._.

Is it the eyes? THE EYES OF A KILLER?

Do they SPARKLE?

Only when you toss glitter in them. They also turn red.

Alright, to get this show on the road, I'll plop the remaining suggestions for skills and attributes into the randomized list...Thing.

If any agreement as to the last skill and attribute comes up, I can always change them at the end of the sewers.

-Agility is currently the second attribute now-

-Marksmanship is currently the final skill now-

(I've all the screenshots, so I'll try to have the next part up by tomorrow. Oh, and it turns out I couldn't recruit the assassin. He does follow you, but the "Friends..." option doesn't come up. Plus, you can only do it if he doesn't kill the Emperor.)

“I’m a liveblogger◊,” Chelsea responded.

Baurus stood there for a moment in confusion. “A… Liveblogger?”

“I liveblog things.”

“…I see. Well, that wasn’t too far off from what I was thinking… Anyway, head through that door and you’ll find an entrance to the sewers. I’ll catch up later. Oh, and thanks for bringing back Glenroy’s sword after you got him killed. You bit-”

“…Uhg… What in Mara’s divine twat just happened? And why am I naked?◊”

Baurus turned to the former emperor with his mouth agape, too delighted and confused to check if he had a zombie on his hands. Septim, on the other hand, seemed rather peevish after having been knocked unconscious, stripped naked, and removed of his title.

“Emperor! You’re alive! Ho-“ Baurus shouted with glee, before being interrupted by the irate former emperor.

“The bastard hit me with a knife of blunt trauma! My head will be throbbing for weeks. And you haven’t answered my question. Why. The hell. Am I nude?”

While Septim and his guard were having a reunion, or Khajiit protagonist snuck away before the emperor asked for his amulet. There wasn’t a chance in hell she was giving it, along with his title, back.

And there it was. The manhole cover◊ that would lead her to her destiny. She covered her nose, flicked the cover open, and hopped in. She just had to make it through the IMPERIAL SEWERS and she’d be home free…

-We interrupt this liveblogging to bring you a word from our sponsors-

Come, experience the magic. Experience the culture. Experience… The IMPERIAL SEWERS◊. Smell the putrid air, taste the questionable foods, hear the sounds of latrines being emptied, and most of all, see the exotic wildlife. The majestic sewer rat◊. The fierce and mighty goblins◊. The not-so-fierce and mighty goblins◊. And witness the amazing migration of the Khajiit, basking in human waste and deciding never to tongue-bathe again◊.

Plan your family vacation to the IMPERIAL SEWERS today, and call 1800-IMP-SHIT. That’s 1800-IMP-SHIT.

-And we’re back-

Having enjoyed her stay at the lovely Shithole Hotel, Chelsea packed her bags and got ready to leave. However, her way was blocked, for sanding betwixt her and the gate was the ferocious SEWER RAT OF CAERBANNOG◊! With razor-like claws, and fearsome gnashing teeth, it’s rumored to have taken down many an foolish adventurer! Oh, how will she ever proce-

Oh◊. Never mind.

Apparently, the legends of mighty beast within the sewers weren’t true. Only an idiot would be killed by such a creature. …An idiot like this guy◊.

But wait. What is this? Could it be?◊

“I... I’m free◊… OH GLORIOUS DAYS I’M FREE◊!”

(Our character as of now: [1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊

Her current location is right outside of the Imperial City◊. She has two quests as of now [4]◊.

Alright, from here on out, rather than going by what gets the most votes, I’m going to be going by whoever gives the first suggestion. The suggestions that I’m looking for are also going to be a bit broader. You all tell me where I go, or tell me what quest I should do, but how I accomplish that will be up to me. I’m going to keep in mind her character, which, right now, is a sneaky, greedy, and ill tempered incompetent loony, although that will change depending on what quests she gets shoved into.

I will only be using fast travel for very long distances (for example, going from Anvil to Skingrad), or to quest objectives. For livebloggings in which I do walk from one city to the next, I’ll post an image of all the places of interest that will appear on my map on the way. For quests, I will not, but I will post the updated quest journal. Oh, and if she ever contracts Porphyric Hemophilia, I’ll ask you all I should let her become a vampire.

Now, on to our options.

Here is the map for Cyrodiil.◊

Some points of interest: Each of the cities has a Mages’ Guild and a Fighters’ Guild, with the exception of Kvatch (which is no longer a city) and the Imperial City, which doesn’t have a Fighters’ Guild to my knowledge and who’s Mages’ Guild isn’t of much use yet. The Thieves’ Guild and the Arena are located in the Imperial City. The Dark Brotherhood isn’t open to us yet, and requires that Chelsea kills an innocent. The Knights of the Nine quest can be started in Anvil. The main story arc mission starts right outside of Chorrol, and then leads to Kvatch.

There are various companions that can be recruited all over the place, but of note are two of my characters, who can be found in a tavern in the Imperial City and the Cheydinhal Mages’ Guild. There are also a few monster companions roaming the Imperial City, including a wolf, and imp, and an ogre.

There are also some modded items and homes located all about. A campsite home and an evil lair can be found outside of the Imperial City. A beach home can be found in Anvil. Three other modded homes can be bought in the Imperial City, but we won’t be able to afford them yet (the most expensive being 90K). Some dresses and seriously heavy armor can be found in the Imperial City. Outside of Bravil is a set of scarves and some useful light armor. There’s a set of dresses outside of Anvil Castle, too, one of which is heavy armor.

Oh, and the second most annoying character in the game can be found in Skingrad.)

Join the Thieves' Guild, maybe? I wouldn't take my suggestion right away; wait to see if there's more interesting suggestions first.

I suggest initiating a riot.

Why you would want to, I have no clue. But a riot is always fun, right? :3

It is. Hmm...

Join the Theives' Guild and then start a massive riot it is.

I'm going to avoid getting regular NP Cs involved, though because... Well, that can cause problems later.

Only if you want to do their side-quests. Essential NPC's can't die. If you DO kill someone and end up doing a quest involving someone, you can find out how to resurrect them at http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Oblivion

Become a vampire! Use the magic of.... CONSOLE COMMANDS :D
