Your favourite Oblivion moments

[MARS]

Stepping out of the sewer and gazing upon Vilverin. The first inn I slept at. The first quest I finished. Discovering Ancotar's "lab" without encountering Ancotar. Lucien Lachance visiting for the first time and many many more. Post your most memorable Oblivion moments and relive them here

[Argonanza]

Finding out about the Gray Prince's dad. You're exploring a dungeon, minding your own business and from out of nowhere, a half naked man comes right at you! Nightmare material.

[DeathByScribb]

These threads never get old, always good to relive the first time

Yeah stepping out and viewing the landscape in all it's granduer.

Using telekinesis for the first time to get a Varla Stone I couldn't reach.

The first vampire fort I raided.

Talking to the worshippers at Sheogorath's statue.

... and so many more.

Hmm... the first time I saw Viciente, also my first time seeing a vampire.

Also the first, FIRST time I ever played, I ran straight to Kvatch, not knowing of fast travel (With me getting distracted all the time it took me an hour), then getting killed by a Stunted Scamp.

Oh, and the first time I learned there was a Guard system in Oblivion. I pickpocketed someone in the streets then ran, and a guard found me hiding in someone's house, trying to pick a lock. They scared me.

My Favorite Oblivion Moment is by far, by far:

The very very very first time i exited the sewers. No video game has ever had me so excited

[TheHatOnTheCat]

one of mine was when you kill Valen Dreth in the the dark brotherhood quest

it feels like your getting back at him for saying all those mean things about you

[Spiney]

A lot may disagree with me, but seeing the great gate open is always cool.

[zzfallens]

The first time you step into Shivering isles (the butterfly room)

Exiting the sewers

Buying my bravil house and fully furnishing it (a long time ago...)

[Vendetta]

That moment I stabbed rufio.... I.... it was just beautiful :')


(on a serious note)

The final quests in the thieves guild where very fun and exciting

i agree it was pretty awesome

It seemed amazing the first time I saw it, but after watching it a few times I think they could of worked on the textures a bit more

Texture packs my dear.

Now that I think of it, I never saw it with QTP.... *heads off to do MQ again*

[Chaos the N'wah]

Any part of SI

Whodunit?

The Purification quest, no quest had ever made me not want to do it and not because of frustration

Vaermina's shrine quest

Gathering before Garlas Malatar

[Valus]

Oh, and the first time I learned there was a Guard system in Oblivion. I pickpocketed someone in the streets then ran, and a guard found me hiding in someone's house, trying to pick a lock. They scared me.

That happened to me, too. I think I stole an apple from a crate in an Imperial City watch tower and I hear, "DROP IT, sticky-palmed little worm!"

Getting A 100K bounty by murdering every NPC I could find.

[Dark Spark]

"Caught in the Hunt" within Fort Grief. Aleron Loche has just told me the despair of our situation: we're trapped on the island forever unless I find some way to kill the three hunters of the cold, dark dungeon therein.

I walked up to the top terrace level, pulled some bottles of Shadowbanish Wine out a wooden chest, then changed into my Dark Brotherhood's Shrouded Armor.

Time to play...

[Zenchii]

the 1st time I hit 100 on conjuration. I was absolutely giddy. I went and bought every summon creature spell I could find and made creatures duke it out with each other that way. It was like playing Pokemon.

"a wild Spriggan has appeared!"

"you choose Spider-daedra"

Still doesn't get old.

Also, the 1st time I made a vampire character. Made him a high elf Mage/knight hybrid and decided that the second I left the sewers I was off to the shivering isles, never to leave until I was high level. He went in a level 1, came out a level 38. Whooped the ever-loving Stendarr out of any vanilla creature that dared look at me funny.

Good times.

Meeting the Gatekeeper.
Plotting to kill the Gatekeeper.

And pelting people with arrows.

Joining the Dark Brotherhood for the first time was awesome. The first time I went to the Imperial City. The first time I saw the Imperial City from afar. Joining the Arcane University, completing my first quest (the vampire one in Bruma).

I also didn't know about fast travel when I went to Kvatch. I was really scared, travelling through the forest (I didn't follow the roads... I got quite lost) with wolves snapping at my heels every two minutes. It was raining too, and the music was creepy.

Killing my first undead was epic. I was so relieved until I went furthur in and there were like three in the same room.

Once I was in someone's house at night, sneaking around and just looking for anything valuble. I turn around and there's a woman at the door, who started shouting at me. I crapped my pants and ran the hell out of there.

But I always laugh when I remember that one time I was playing a thief bosmer, and I didn't have much health. Trolls proved to be very, very dangerous. I found one in the forest and ran my ass off to the nearest town (I think it was Chorral) where the guards took care of it.

Oh (I keep remembering as I go along haha), I remember all the guards in the Imperial City chasing after me, shooting arrows and stuff. They couldn't catch me though I'm TOO DAMN FAST

[MoonRose]

Fighting along side Porkchop for the first time I like to believe he was sent off to a happy farm some where afterward, and he is currently frolicking through the flax flowers, flirting with all the female boars, and annihilating any arrogant nord women he might meet along the way

[shadow_of_sithis]

killing the adoring fan in dive rock.

least favourite oblivion moment:

Him coming back

[mulder]

The whole Shivering Isles are amazing. I enjoyed Oblivion the most when I explored that mad land!

Getting A 100K bounty by murdering every NPC I could find.

I hope you saved before that happened.

The Purification quest, no quest had ever made me not want to do it and not because of frustration

God, is there a more heart-wrenching quest?
