[Funny Oblivion Incidents]

...the guard is jsut sitting there watching them walk by... so i attack one and of all the things that could of happened.. .

Lazy bum of a guard. Reminds me of the time I was in Anvil and had to stop a robbery in the general store. Rather than slay the thieves inside the place and leave their corpses decorating the shop floor, I lured them out into the dockside before attacking them. This way I can get a little help from the guard standing watch by the gate.

 

Danged fool of a guard simply stood there and watched me take on two bandits at the same time. Anvil's finest, hard at work. :dry:

 

When I walked up and talked to the guard, the first thing he said was, "Is there a problem?"

 

I looked over at the two dead thieves. "Not anymore, you skooma-addled mouthbreather!"

An Oblivion Gate popped out near the Gold Road, just south of the Brina Cross Inn. When conducting the Anvil Mages' Guild recommendation quest, I noticed an Imperial Legion soldier in a bit of a bind. Clannfear from that gate had killed his horse, and after I finished up with my own business at hand, I waded in and destroyed that gate.

 

Continuing on with the game from that point, every time I travel the Gold Road to Anvil I pass by this unchanging sight: a dead Legion horse laying in the middle of the road, and an Imperial soldier simply standing watch over it. With his mount dead, this guy had nothing better to do than stand around and mourn the critter. Every time I pass by, he says either "Do you think we stand a chance?" or "Let's get the bastards!". Clearly he's miffed about the matter of daedra.

 

 

Then again, these Legion guys can be real jerks. There I was, walking through the streets of Skingrad (doing the 'Ulterior Motives' quest) when I come across something you don't see every day: an Imperial Legion soldier walking through the streets of the city itself. Eager to find out all that I could about this curious sight, I walked over and tried to start a conversation with him...

 

"It's all over! Nobody breaks the law on my watch!"

 

I muttered to myself, "You don't know how right you are, you addled lackwit." I didn't do anything! Yet he hauled me in for a 1 gold fine. Honestly, if my character wasn't such a Boy Scout, that Legion soldier would have been a smouldering corpse right now— bounty be damned.

 

Never found out what triggered it, much less why a Legion soldier tracked me down instead of a Skingrad town guard.

 

So, as a word of advice: if you see a Legion soldier walking down a town street, either dodge him or destroy him— he's after you!
