Good man. A friend and I both keep a permasave file at the beginning of that quest so we can just go back and play it again whenever we want.

It's a great example of how Oblivion is the best game ever that one quest as so many possibilities.

Yep! This is my favorite quest as well. I also have a permanent save on this quest. "Are you ready to mingle with the doomed house guests?" Mohahaha!

Whodunit or Canvas the Castle.

Both were fun and required a bit of thinking. :)

EDIT:

Oh. Single. *Cough* I'd say Canvas, then, because while Whodunit is really fun, Canvas gave me a sense of realism in the game, and I thought that one was really fun, too. :)

My absolute single favorite quest....

That would be Unearthing Mehrunes Razor. It's a very long quest with a good storyline, lots of enemies and a great reward. This is paradise for assassin characters. I always try to kill everyone unnoticed which is challenging and fun. Especially when you're level 20+ and got a decent Acrobatics skill :D.

I much prefer Shivering Isles to the vanilla, so my choice would have to be Baiting The Trap.

A Better Mousetrap is my favorite and then Whodunit because that has great gameplay and is based off of Agatha Christie. Maybe I'm sadistic or something? Those quests are pretty brutal. :Twisted Evil:

Caught in the Hunt and Shadow Over Hackdirt also get honorable mentions for being allusions to an awesome stories.

The Mankar Cameron's Paradise one. I just really liked some of the scenery in it. Yet I do love killing everyone I see in it too, because they're immortal. So why not if they're just gonna come back.

Am I the only one who likes The Defense of Bruma?
It's fun to kill the stuff yourself, sure, but I find it ten times more exciting to watch all the soldiers, Baurus, Jauffre and Martin fighting infinite Daedroth, Xivilai and Daedra Spiders.
And failing. :lol:

Always liked The Collector and it's followups aswell, because it tends to last a while searching for all 10 ruins.

That was too annoying for me, because Martin kept dying under high difficulty and I was loath to turn it down. In fact, I didn't like much of the main quest. The missions seemed to be excuses to show you about the different areas and combat skills of Oblivion - Towns, Ayleid ruins, caves, forts, as well as lots of fighting and some magic. It was like they were just showing you what you could do if you decided to play on after the end of the storyline.

That's my favourite quest too. I love all the new items.
My second favourite quest was Paradise. I liked all the Ayleid style buildings, and having a conversation with a dremora for more than 3 seconds was cool.

Mine would have to be that one quest where you go into the party and kill every stealthy.
If somethign doesn't look right look at it again.

But if you do that you waste more of you life.
