I decided to finish the main quest with Telanis earlier. Anyway, I was going through Paradise like normal. Nothing was odd. Mankar was being as annoying as ever. I fought that Dremora and equipped the Bands of the Chosen... Only to realize that my armor (Triss Armor, ported from Skyrim) used all the body slots. Including the Gauntlets. That meant that, when I equipped the Bands... The armor was unequipped.

I wound up going through the Grotto naked, except for my cloak.
Telanis was not amused.

On my first file ever Arvena Thelas locked me in her house. I went in there to poke around and by the time I wanted to leave, the door was locked. I was (and still am) awful at lockpicking in this game, so I tried to pickpocket her key and she called the guards who were very upset that I stole something from her but apparently not concerned at all that this crazy woman locked me in her house. I shudder to think of what she was planning to do to me, especially given all the rats in her basement...

This just happened while doing the Battle For Castle Kvatch quest with a new character the other night.
Spoiler:
It was towards the tail end of the battle in the courtyard just before entering the castle. One of the last clannfear was getting introduced to my battleaxe up close and personal when I heard someone shout "MURDER!" I simply figured that in my frenzy of baddie dismemberment I didn't notice a watchman or Legionaire come up to join in the fun. After finishing off the critter I quickly checked my journal. Hmm.. no murders to my credit. Oh well then; continue on as they say. I looked around, and to my amazement saw Martin and a watchman going at it. The watchman took off running with Martin in hot pursuit. Meanwhile, a Legion Archer was using Martin for target practice. I had saved just before entering the courtyard so I figured I'd let it play out for my amusement. After Martin had killed the watchman and the archer he walked up to me as if nothing had happened. I counted about a dozen arrows sticking out of him. He looked like a human pin cushion. Martin the murderer. Who would've thought it. I wondered if he could join the Dark Brotherhood. I thought about not reloading just to see how people would react to Martin with a murder bounty on his head.

Just came back from selling a bunch potions to Sinderion. When I went back upstairs, Alval Uvani and Graklak gro-Buglump started fighting...again. Seriously this is like the 4th time this has happened. I have to use the Console to basically give them both lobotomies to get them to knock it off.

...Ok I see. UESP's article on Buglump says that due to his low responsibility (it's a whopping 5!), he has a habit of picking the pockets of other patrons causing him to get into fights.

I found this tear in the ground (left of my character's head) on the outskirts of Hackdirt. Considering the people of Hackdirt worship a Lovecraftian Horror called The Deep Ones, having a tear in the fabric of reality nearby is strangely fitting.

Haven't taken a screenshot in a million years but I did while playing a bit of Oblivion today. The reason I took it was because it's so frequently foggy in the Gold Coast, it's nice to have the rare occurrence where you can actually see five feet in front of your face.

I was just hanging around Chorrol when I saw Honditar and Lum gro-Baroth both using the same hay bale for target practice.

When one of them would move to retrieve their arrows, they would get shot by the other.

I stood by for awhile to see if a fight would break out, but Honditar eventually left without incident.

But before I left I took this picture.

Sounds like they could use a lesson in range etiquette.

I think speaking to the Leyawin book seller is the most hilarious dialogue I've ever had (I laughed harder than when speaking to people in Shivering Isles)

Yeah he's a good surprise. There's a character in skyrim that is like the Leyawiin book seller. :)

Here's a funny thing I noticed; Seems like Viranus Donton could be homosexual. In his diary he wrote many nice things about his best friend, but on one page he describes him as beautiful.
(before someone makes accusations - I'm not homophobic)

edit: Maybe that's why he likes to remove his cuirass. on our mission! :D

another edit: a dead dremora guy got mashed by a corpse masher elevator thing when I used it to get to the upper level. He got stuck on the edge of it and squished against the floor up there.. His corpse "danced" like crazy, hahaha

I was running around in the great forest and a wolf appeared. It was at a higher elevation than my character and it jumped down to try to attack me. A well-timed Shock on touch spell launched it several feet into the air, before crashing down dead. It was hilarious. :mrgreen:

I was doing the thieves guild quest of getting a countess-es ring, and then the ultimate betrayal between 2 NPCs happened.
Spoiler:
1. "STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!!"
2. Resist arrest
3. The count, the countess, and a servant start to attack me.
4. I avoid a servant's attack, and the countess and servant start to attack each other.
5. The countess went Unconscious.
6. Soon, the same thing happened with the count.
7. Countess got up and started to kill the servant.
8. Servant dead, back to me.
9. Soon, I see that the count and countess were too busy trying to kill each other to get me.
I would eventually haste to a guard and pay my fine.

I saw a wolf sit down and howl in the middle of a fight at Fort Nikel. It was a weak howl, but it was a howl animation. For years I have been critical of the game for having barking wolves. Real wolves do bark, but it is about as rare as seeing a wolf in Oblivion howling.
