That would be Whodunit.

I'm not certain on my absolute favorite, but the quest related to Sheogorath's shrine is definitely on of my favorites.

I liked the one where you go into the painting and kill the trolls.
Because it was the first quest I did in my first run through that was different to the rest of the game.

I really liked The Forlorn Watchman. Seemed a bit like a return to Morrowind.
Though, the first time I played it, was 6:00 in the morning, with no sleep. Up all night playin' Oblivion ^^;;
It's been good travelling with you, Warden. Don't get lost in the shuffle now.

I liked the ultimate heist also, though it did get tedious towards the end. I feel the quests needed fleshing out slightly, with more options *god, I sound like I'm trying to create fable 3.*, In some cases, linearity can be boring (on the contrary, I feel some quests needed linearity to make sense)

Another one of my favorites might have to be the end of the Mage's Guild quest.

Defense of Bruma was fun. I can't stand quests that are too short or ask you to do simple things. I think many of the Shivering Isles quests were superior in that regard. Many of the fighter's guild quests ask you to find somebody in a dungeon you knew was already dead. Boring.

Fighters Guild was Tedious, and was the most boring quest line I've ever encountered, but one of the last parts when you were able to torture that Argonian, now that was fun... but not my favorite.

My favorite would have to be WHODUNIT?.. its just one of the best quests to play, and marks my reign of vengeance on those goody-goodies as an assassin. :)

Mine would have to be the final mission in the Knights of the Nine where you invade the Aylied ruin, fight Umaril in body, and then battle him in spirit above the Imperial City! And it's EXTREMLY fun when you're high level

My all time favourite is definitely Whodunnit? It is great fun and I can't help but laugh when it's you and the last person and they still don't think it's you.

That's Whodunnit!? Which seems to be a fan favorite. I liked 'Next of Kin' better personally. Kind of fun to go to different locations and try to kill someone unseen. Though I have to admit a couple times I used my 100% chameleon suit to get the job done.

The Hunters Game (AKA: Caught in the Hunt), Whodunit?, The Arrow of Extrication, Ultimate Heist, Silence the Siren, Origin of The Grey Prince. I also like the first FG mission where you "get rid" of the rat problem. Also when you go into the painting, that was extremely creative, I loved it. And although, I'm not a huge fan of SI, the quest where you kill the oppsites of the people is rather fun.

Escape from Prison was surprisingly fun and is my favourite. Next of Kin was cool as well.

So, I was gonna comment that this thread was totally outdated and necro-posting was abound... But I don't know the rules when 3 people already respond to the thread :|

Whatev. No mods seem to care, lets bring it on back to life lol.

My favorite quest: Defense of Bruma. Watching the city fill up with soldiers, marching out of the city's gates, listening to the Bad-ass speech, fighting the forces of evil, etc. etc. Great quest, epic battle.

It's not necroposting. This thread was only 2,5 months old ;). So you guys can continue to post your favorite quest :D.

My favorite quest has to be Paranoia.

To freshen up ye old Oblivion veterans, its the one where the most peculiar Bosmer, Glarthir, approaches you and proceeds to tell you to convene with him at the time of high moon behind an eerie cathedral, whom then unveils to you his (possibly Skooma induced) fantastical imagining of three certain citizens of Skingrad which he believes are playing the 'Peeping Tom' on him. He asks you to preform counter-spy operations on all of them to determine their motives. You are given a choice, to either conjure to him that they are in fact watching him in most secrecy, or you can simply and truthfully tell him the truth, that he's a crazy fool. Thus dependent on your choice, hilarity insues almost instantly, but before the quest is over, someones' blood will sadly (but possibly humorously)be spilled.

I like this quest mainly because of it's main catalyst, Glarthir. He is Wood Elf in appearance, but with the attitude of a skaven. To anyone who is familiar with the Warhammer universe, or has read the Gotrek & Felix series, will understand fully of what I mean. :lol:

Just did that quest again. Man Glarthir is psycho. It made me laugh.

I like the quest Corruption and Conscience, because of the branching possibilities, and i love how Llevana paralyzes Ulrich and sends her rats on him :Twisted Evil:
