Your favourite Oblivion moments

[Grasshopper]

Walking into the Lighthouse Cellar, flies are buzzing, theres dead animals and people on the ground, all half decayed...

Then you look up and see a head sitting on a tray in between some candles, although horrible it was extremely memorable,

Also reading the traitors diary, the killhim page... truly epic

[Giordano]

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

Oh definitely. The moment I made the connection "dark elf + Imperial prison" I went there as fast as I could.

"To do so is to evoke the wrath of Sithus." Me and a friend have a long running gag on that.

[AKB]

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?

It is poetic in a way, you are chosen to kill your comrades as you can not be the traitor, and yet you become a tool of the traitor. The only disapointing thing about the whole Dark Brotherhood quest line is that you couldn't stop it half way through by piercing through the clues to discover you have been tricked.

My favorite moment? First time I saved Kvatch. I fought through Oblivion, destroyed the anchor, fought a losing battle for the town only to prevail with nearly all of my allies dieing. It was good knowing I was the hero even though I saved no one I fought hard and won the day. I still wish that the rebuilt Kvatch though...

Favorite moment? Killing one of the Spies in the Spies of Bruma quest. Went from Cloud Ruler Temple to the nearest bend in the path that faced the Heaven/Rune Stone. Pulled my bow out, zoomed in. The guy was just barely visible. He walked away, and I shot. Went to go check, and he was dead. Best. Day. Ever. It would have been more impressive if I hadn't been able to see him, but still. Best. Day. Ever. That, and Mankar Camoran's paradise. That place was cool.

Reminds me of my finest kill— I dropped a Speaker of the Black Hand with a single poisoned arrow, wholly undetected in broad daylight: I planted myself in the middle of the lane, held fast to the zoom, and waited until he came walking around a bend into the center of that road. At impact the victim drew his dagger, took two running steps, then collapsed backwards onto the cobblestones.

Beautiful. That's why my favorite weapon is the bow.

[Vermundr]

Probably cliché but when I first got out of the sewers.
The mountains in the distance and the forests. Magical times.

[Lindai]

Entering above the Imperial Palace via The Old Way. Nothing more satsifying than entering an area that is usually completely off limits.

[MARS]

Bying my first house. It was the one in Leyawiin. I felt very accomplished when I managed to amass the funds to buy the house and upgrades. It really felt like home. Even when I'd bought Rosethorn Hall I still prefered the Leyawiin house.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Oh wait now, how did I forget? When I first met the Adoring Fan, of course.

[Shadow]

The time when I discovered I could lower the difficulty and kill guards with a minimum of 3 power attacks with my Daedric Longsword.

[Argonanza]

Meeting Owyn.

Note of Exception.

Giant Mudcrab.

[merodoc]

one of the finest for me is when i was new and decided to play an agent before a scamp beat me up.
and then theres the time i was trying to steal from the basement of a store as a guard just walks in and arrests me
and last but not least KILLING VALEN DRETH that dude was going to bang my wife

[Argonanza]

Meeting Schemer. Best rat in any game ever.

[GenghisPF]

I liked the last quest for the fighters guild, killing all of the members of the Blackwood company and then killing that dumb little worm, Maglar (spelling?) He was just a whinny little son of a....

Finishing the Dark Brotherhood quests were also fun. Actually being able to run around and kill people in public and guards not doing anything (for some quests) was a cool surprise. Also when you finish it and every so often you'll see more people in the Cheydinhal Sanctuary.
Typing this out makes me want to play again XD

It's the fifth Oblivion aniversary Take all your favourite moments and post them:Here

[KneelBeforeZod]

My Dunmer vampire Battlemage, named 'Thanatos'(I didn't know about ES names, so, it is what it is, eh?).

I didn't know about specializing in specific armors, so as a result, on accident, I became, like, I think Masters with both light AND heavy armor, it was awesome. I maxed out a bunch of stuff.

Then I became a gladiator...and, man, I used 3 vital things:

1) Finger of the Mountain

2) Telekinesis

3) My ungodly agility.

I would wait until night-time, because the Arena is awesome in that they don't care what stage of vampire you are, so you can just sleep there, and they're cool with you. Also, I would hype myself up, so bad. When I first entered the gate, I wouldn't immediately go up to where the announcer would talk...first, I would shoot the lightning out, as there were these two points, the upper corners of the gate, where the lightning would just streak out forever, instead of getting caught on the gate. So I'd create my own pyros for a bit, until finally coming up to the gate, and starting the fight. As soon as it began? Hopped up on the thing where they can't touch me, and just keep summoning monsters and using bows and ranged spells until they die. And then? That's when I have fun.

I hop back down, and first, I equip telekinesis, pick up their weapon, and FLING it into the sky, letting it fall into the audience, same with their shield. Fans love souvenirs. Even if I don't spell that word properly. Then, I equip Finger of the Mountain agan, and blast their body for a bit, letting the fans cheer and cheer(they really do, btw.) as I let the dead corpse smack against pillars, and I try to see if I can land them in one of the torches. Then, I go, heal up, earn my winnings, and sleep another day.

That sounds..........completely and totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seconded

I wanna make another vamp character now...

[KneelBeforeZod]

And of course, I became the Gray Prince's buddy at some point, and before fighting him, I of course, being a good friend, decided to help him find his heritage. I was genuinely happy to have been of service, having a vampire-fight with his father, cleaning out that place, and of course getting annoyed that my own bretheren were so hostile toward me. But, no matter.

Then I gave him the book, and him...SEEING my face, and knowing what I was, declared his father a monster! Hello, right over here? Pff.

So, I went out, fed on a bum and a few mage's guild members until daybreak, equipped my Deceiver's Finery, went out there on a bright sunny day, and jabbed Mr. Too Good To Be A Vampire in the face, until he finally died a bit later, showing him just WHY I was called the Angel of Death. Stripped him naked, shocked him with spells until he was face down, then grabbed his foot and manually dragged his corpse, face-down, around the arena for a bit. Then shocked him some more, until he landed in a big torch.

I certainly hope he learned his lesson.

I can't believe no one posted this. The Introduction, the very first time, with Patrick Steward's Monologue, adn then the circly-view of White-Gold Tower with the trumpets and whatnot in the background. First time I saw that, I nearly died of joy.
And to think I only played Oblivion because pc Fable was incompatible with w7. YAY! ES forever!

Hmmm...that first cutscene wasn't so great IMO.

[NordFtw]

Killing Mankor Cameron. As a high level Nord Tank, dressed entirely in Steel Armour (Why? Becaus eI wanted my Bruma Statue to look cool, thats why) and weilding Volendrung, I smashed him to a pulp before he got a chance to finish his little speech or summon his little minions.
In. Smash. Out. Best way to do it.
