nosisab Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sadly the better quests I did that gave me a good feeling I couldn't save the involved. Two were the Vampire hunter at Bruma and that infamous Orc and his hunting games in Bravil. Another intriguing quest where you need decide the fate of the culprit is the one given by Narina Valga, countess Chorrol. Indeed the best ones aren't the main ones in this game.

nachtefuchs Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 It'd have to be the final mission of the Fighter's Guild questline. You get THE MOST satisfying feeling ending the Blackwood Company, especially burning the Hist Tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macmert Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Well I rather enjoyed completing the whole DB questline (Since I am an assassin :D) especially the quest that was in a manor where you murder each of the guests while they were searchin the house for treasure, it was fun making them fight eachother and clean up the mess, it was quite well since I didnt really need to resort to violence too much... And I was really sad when I became the Arena Champion and beat The Gray Prince... He didnt even raise his sword... He just stood there and said "Kill me, end my suffering..." and I had no other choice but beat him down, I didnt have a chance if he would ever raise his sword since I was no fighter but I got him down anyway... It was sad really...Yes, that was better than having to do evil. Then you must be skipping all of the good quests if you are truly role-playing an assassin. The Grey Prince was sad. The devs accomplished their task for that quest, then. They wanted the player to experience that feeling. However, I've played it both ways, and the orc fights ok if you don't activate his side-quest. What about your previous games? Have you ever run a good character and recall a good quest you enjoyed? Heh... This is my first character and I didnt finish SI or KOTN yet so I didnt start with another character yet... The thing is I am a stealth freak and I love playing an assassin, I love to play as a hired blade, no questions asked only get paid to get the job done :D so I dont really choose a good or a bad quest, for example I helped those poor villagers that got the invisibility curse (I hope I didnt slip out any spoilers :D) and two sons who tried to defend their farms against the goblins...The goblin quest was rather enjoying cause I hate to see some lowly creatures stalk the land and harm the weak... And I am also the knight errand for the... What was it? You know against the Black arrow? I guess I am not pure evil or good, just trying to get paid and survive... Like Conan :D except he is a blood thirsty barbarian and I am the shadow stalker :D But I have to say I really enjoy being a hired killer, I love to see them fall before me and get paid for their corpses :D I also help all the beggars on the streets, I give them gold every time I see them, since they are in need of the gold and they are my ears and eyes :D since I am Gray Fox I need them... Lol I love this game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bothered me too that your character cannot move to stop that orc from killing that poor guy at Fort Irony. I think I would have tried to do a sword move that would end up gutting that orc before he could kill an innocent guy who only owed a gambling debt. I would have liked to have had a chance on the vampire hunter to talk to the husband first, determine he wasn't a vampire, and protect him from the hunter.

Lol I love this game... ;D So do I. Best open-ended RPG ever. What really makes Oblivion shine (imho) has got to be mods. Mods have made my game burst open at the seams. Running a good character with 186 for Fame is rewarding for me. I can't wait for further updates to one of the mods I have so I can work toward becoming Emperor of Tamriel. Not far from it, my toon's a Duke as well as an Imperial Legion Captain (with that sweet armor too) :P I'm happy to hear that your assassin is more or less a neutral toon. Glad you saw your way clear to doing some of the good quests. Who knows? You might decide in mid-game to make him a hero to the country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmert Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 hehe that is the tricky part, I have a high fame, along with high infamy, one guard passes by and thanks me for saving their province, the one next to me calls me a scumbag and beat it biggrin.gif I stole more than 1000 items in the game and I pick pocketed around 100 people biggrin.gif But I am a Blade sworn to protect the king (Which we miserably failed since he is a 100 foot statue now lol) a knight errand and bla bla bla goodie guy biggrin.gif kinda ironic you know, I am a vampire slayer guild member, but I work with vampire lords (The one in...Bruma??? Cant remember him now...) I earn knighthood, but I kill people for money and for fun, DB also urges you, forces you to like your killing, just calling for your sadistic side, In one of the drop orders, you need to kill a family, the grandma or mother thinks you are an errand boy for shopping and gives you a shopping list so you can deliver some gifts to them or something... I remember killing her in her sleep, lying there helpless, I mean killing for money is one thing but killing and taking pleasure from it... That is sick biggrin.gif So that is why I try to help people too... Kinda listen to my conscience... I guess there should be an option to quests that you reject the money paid you know being the charity guy, I try to pay to people to pay their debt and stuff... Maybe I should quit being an assassin and open up a shop or something biggrin.gif you know retire my bow and arrow lol... I am too merciful sometimes and sometimes too cruel...

Barfman46 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 The character I am playing now is the first good character I've played and he is a Paladin (custom class like crusader) and I had lots of fun doing the KoTN quests because they fit him really well getting holy relics and such.

Are they big on magic like a Battlemage? Since your Paladin has such a strong reputation, are you going to skip the quests that are Infamy-related?

Since your Paladin has such a strong reputation, are you going to skip the quests that are Infamy-related? The one I made is basicly a Knight with restoration magic. I also lost the blunt skill because I prefer blades. If you wanted you could give him destruction magic if you wanted (If you play WoW retribuation talents). Some of the holy spells from Midas's Might and Magic would probably be ideal. And yes I skip all infamy related quests due to the fact I am a KoTN so I don't want the infamy. I admit to using the console to get rid of some infamy if I get some from a quest that I can roleplay a reason for doing. The quest for Mehrune's Razor is good example as my view on it was that I was a Paladin seeking to find and destroy the dagger by giving it to Martin (I have a mod so you can). Though I never give myself fame for things like that due to the fact I did eat a heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
