    I still remember my first playthrough. Low level character. I save scummed until I could sneak into the tower in the heart of the Imperial City. In the council chamber was a mage with an incredibly powerful staff. I pickpocketed it off of him, again using save scumming. I then traveled to Bravil and entered the castle there. As the Count of Bravil was giving a speech, I pulled out the staff and zapped him dead on his throne, right in front the of the whole court. I then got away from the assassination through the brilliant escape plan of running out the front door, murder weapon still in hand.

    Damn I loved Oblivion.

    Muuuuurrddeeerrr!!!

      I’ve been save scumming my way through the fighters guild quests for literally 10+ years.

      I’m like 1 achievement away from 100%… but holy shit, those trolls are relentless. They take like 40 hits to kill but only need 1-2 to kill you.

      My favorite story was actually from my buddy’s playthrough. He duped the poison apple from the assassin’s guild quest using the arrow glitch. He then duped it 50 more times and put-pocketed one into everyone’s pockets in a specific town. When they all went to lunch they ate them and died. An entire town of dead people. It was hilarious.

        I see you also follow the life philosophy of, “if you’re not on at least one watch list, are you even really living?” :D

      I beat the entire thieves guild quest line starting at basically level 1 by using the strategy of “run fast”. There were some major flaws that kept me from loving that game properly, so I’m hoping it’s more user friendly with the remake. But I could definitely see a lot of charm in it.

      If it isn’t one of the ugliest games I’ve ever played though. Why is every character a shiny, pudgy, orange?

        Yup. I’m pretty sour on Bethesda RPGs after getting burned hard by Starfield. But I have a hard time imagining even they could fuck up a simple remastering of a game I already loved in the past.
