Poll: The Elder Scrolls Oblivion

[Chicago Ted]

Who else had a character that was Champion of Cyrodiil, Gray Fox, Fighters Guild Master, Archmage, and Listener?

I did. Maybe not the top ranks, but high up in each, and I have to say, it kinda broke the game for me. It was weird knowing that my guy was head of each one. I'd have rather they amplified the bonus's of each one, then had you choose between them.

Nothing was "broken" in terms of gameplay, but I see your point. In retrospect, it does seem odd when the respected Archmage breaks into your house at night to steal your vegetables and to sell your silverware to a Nord insomniac in a pub.

Or have him go around and murder people in his spare time and worship demonic beings. I can never have a single character anymore. I generally restrict certain ones to certain Guilds so I can keep the atmosphere and immersion a bit better.

I saw this thread and thought to myself... WOW, what a scarily normal thread.

Lol, can't say I have seen a lot of these lately.

Regardless...Fighter's guild. I didn't find the dark brotherhood until later. Although it's better to be a higher level when you join them anyway.

 

[Pegghead]

I was a human type bloke, at the time I figured a good character build would involve dumping all my points into ridiculous things like agility and luck.

As such I had a very bad experience with the game and now that I've grown more familiar with rpgs I've considered replaying it. I enjoyed it despite my idiotic character but I think people have gone a bit too gaga over the game.

I was an Argonian (I always am) I want straight across the river and mowed down some Bandits and FUCKING MUD CRABS was having fun, then I want to Kavatch, bad idea. It was not until later that my cousin told me NOT to do the main story line straight away so I restarted and joined the Fighters Guild.

I'm almost done that, I just need to do the last Thieves Guild Mission.

What was the first thing you did in Oblivion 4 when you first exited the sewer? what did you do to make the game interesting and what was your first guild?. What Race were you?

I was a Redguard [Male] who joined the Brotherhood and Killed everything that moved and i dabbled in Mods and stuff

The first thing I did was look for an immersive original first person role playing game experience. 120 hours in... I still didn't find it.
I joined every possible guild and still.. no such luck. Shan't be playing it again.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

I was a male redguard and the first thing I did was kill an imperial guard because I didn't know any better. It was one of the few times in any game where I stood there and felt utterly lost, and the damn fine/punishment I suffered for my crime of passion didn't help.

Being jaded with organized society, I joined the Dark Brotherhood and slaughtered my way to the top. Ah, memories.

I did too and I felt it was pretty damn strange as well. I originally thought I'd have to choose carefully, but nope, I just ended up as the most famous/powerful/important non-king in the history of Cyrodil.

I joined all of them, with the same character, at the same time, it was oddly satisfying. But I will shout this from the Rooftops, Dark Brotherhood has hands down the best plot line in the entire game. I actually teared up a bit when I had to carry out "The Cleansing" mission, I just wanted to shout, "No Lucian, fuck you I'm not doing that and I don't care if you send Sithis himself after me for it."

Wood elf thieves guild the last quest "the big heist" Is my favourite quest ever.

The Dark Brotherhood questline was the only part of the game that I wasn't completely infuriated by. Oh, and the thieves guild questline was alright.

Mainly because the wasn't much combat. Bethesda, stop trying to put combat in, you suck at it. At least in Morrowind it had the decency to stay in a corner most of the time and keep to itself.

 

[Ham Blitz]

The first thing I did was go to Juaffre (Not sure if that was spelled right), then I accendentally stole a horse not knowing I was, got arrested, then joined the thieves guild.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

My first was the Brotherhood.

My destiny was The Mage's Guild!

Your destiny was life-altering addiction

 

[icyneesan]

I played it like GTA, I went around killing everyone

 

[loooooowwww]

it took me 5 hours to get out of the sewers then another 5 in the aelied ruins accross from the sewers (first thing i saw so i went towards them) after that i stumbled accross the arena but eventually after about 15 hours of gameplay i started to be approached by the thieves guild and dark brotherhood and only then did i begin to understand how the game worked lol best game ever!

 

[Shemming]

I try complete the Brotherhood quest lines, after at least getting inot the arcane univesity because

MAKING SPELLS FTW!

 

[Russian_Assassin]

First thing I did was ignore the main quest completely and run around and exploring everything. I couldn't get enough of this game! Then I discovered modding

 

[ArchAngelKira]

When I first played oblivion I kept stealing thing so I joined the theives guild for my addiction to be progress in the game

 

[r3dc0br4]

Argonian male, joined all of the guilds, got a bunch of mods, and went on a psycho rampage across cyrodil
