I suppose the one thing that annoys me most in this game (and TES 3) is that having gotten to that stage where I don't think I'm in a good punch-up unless I have at least 3 Minator Lords at my throat I still continue to get attacked by Rats, mudcrabs and the like. Not being able to drop quest items even after completing the quest is just stupid (forcing me to use a mod). The Merchant system in this game is just plain silly... at least in TES it was possible, with a bit of jiggery pokery to sell your items for a fair price.. but in Oblivion what is the point of obtaining a weapon worth 20,000 if the maximum you can ever expect to get for it from a merchant is under 2,500. I wish I could also ditch quests from my 'list of quests to finish' Having gained Umbra I have no intention of giving it up so would like to be able to mark the quest as 'abandoned' and have it re-allocated to the finished quests list.... Emerging from a dungeon and then having to spend the next 10 minutes looking for my horse that has wandered off is a real pain in the neck.... As an aside, I think many of you seem to be missing the point regarding the beggars and their voice changes.... the gravelly voice is the one they use to beg for cash... for some of them however this is just an act they use to gain pity.. If they have a good disposition towards you and are answering a question they will often revert to using their proper voices out of respect before dropping back into their begging voice once again at the end of the conversation.
