After 2 years of playing Oblivion, I finally managed to complete every single quest available in the game.

I feel a bit empty, to be frank. Now I don't have anything to do. Role-playing is not really me. Sure, i can role-play up to one and a half minute, but then I need a goal to reach.

The last quest was to gather some useless scraps for a crazy guy. Before that to become a holy knight, and even before that I've became a mad daedra lord, killing a daedra lord before becoming it.

Yes, even the Split problem I finished.

Within this gamespan my character has become:
1) A Holy Priestess (this one is role-play role)
2) A Holy Knight
3) An Assassin
4) A Wizard
5) A Fightmaster
6) A Thief
7) A Madgod
8) A General Troublemaker
9) A General Lifesaver / Problemsolver
10) A Master of All Trades, Jack of None
11) A Secret Agent
12) A National Champion (or, maybe Provincial Champion?)
13) A Real Estate Owner
14) A Vampire
15) A Vampireslayer
16) A Very Popular Person Even Remote Villages Know Me

It's a literal representation of "been there, done that" :/

So, it's pretty much over. I think I'll start again fresh, with only a select appearance mods (I have too many equipments I don't even know how should I use 80% of them) and with a narrower goal (maybe this time I'll simply become a daedra lord and not a holy knight at the same time).

Cool! Are we talking 100% Completion here?? :drool:

Well it seems to me that Oblivion is really a role playing game.

So if role-playing is not for you, then I guess you just got a pitiful, measly, 2 years of gameplay and need to move on. For roleplayers 2 years might be considered just getting started.

Good luck on your next game. Maybe you'll be back someday!

So true :tongue:

And I've played since the day of release, and I've still not tried everything... I lost the race.

Anyway, congratz on 100% completion! You should bask in your triumph instead of contemplating sad things like having nothing new left. And you can always go back and do the same quests again. Go back and revisit the ones you did ages ago and don't remember that well.

And to think there's still so many quests I haven't done once in all my times playing the game...

Congratulations on completing all quests in the game, though, and while you might be thinking that there's nothing left to do in the game now, you could also consider that few other games outside of the Elder Scrolls could take so long to finish all the content they offer, and if you're thinking of starting a new character in Oblivion, that's probably a good sign, in a lot of games for me, it's just finish the game once, and then I don't want to play it again, but the Elder Scrolls has proven to be the sort of game I can keep coming back to, and enjoy each time I start anew.

I've put hundreds of hours in this game, and still haven't done every quest in the game. And the current character I'm on can't - as I slayed Lucien Lachance at the beginning.
If you struggle with roleplaying, but you want to play the game again, may I suggest roleplaying the SI Main Quest or the Vanilla Main Quest. Make challenges for your character to overcome - and don't rush through it, I don't think a real person would do that.

Pretty much, although I have to admit I didn't really enjoy all of them (Nirnroots. They're a pain in the bottom to find. And calipers...)


Ahahaha, so true. I'm not really into role-playing. I messed up the concept of role-playing once I see a quest notice.Can't resist to reach an announced goal

But rest assured I'll be back. Maybe someday, maybe sometime, but I will. This character's face is far too good-looking to throw away I'll be using her again, now ever since the beginning!

That is, once I'm back I've got a plethora of games to play. PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, not to mention Diablo II and Recettar...

Next time, I'll say goodbye to looking for Nirnroots or Oblivion gates or calipers. Once is more than enough to find those :/

Ya know, you could always go and download some mods ^^ Thousands upon Thousands of great mods out there, including some absolutely monstrous sized ones that by themselves could add 40+ hours of gameplay in.

Only thing you havent done is wipe out all life in Cyrodil. I'd suggest you do that before quitting Obv. Leave the heart of the empire a barren wasteland, inhabited only by highway men and minotaurs.


And in a few short months you can erase all sentient beings in Skyrim. Yay!!

Raestloz, I'm not sure whether congratulations or condolences are in order. I certainly hope you and Haruka will reload and do it again, perhaps skipping the parts you found less fun. :foodndrink:

I've been playing for a little over two years and still have plenty I haven't done. I'm too busy recreating paladin characters and being content with just exploring.

What did you do, just run around like a Marine on a mission?

I'm afraid I can't do that :blush: It's not that I can't use them per se, it's just that I'm afraid they might require a bit of processing power, much of which has been taken dearly by Oblivion AI. I can't even use Unique Landscape without some tradeoff, and here I thought all graphics-related stuff is supposed to be handled by my GeForce 9800GT


My last status is a Holy Knight for The Nine. I can't possibly running amok killing everyone with that armor on, can I? :angel:



I hope so too :foodndrink: next time I'll try to up the role-play bar a notch. And maybe next time I'll use that alchemy :sadvaultboy: although it's my Major, I never used it, only train from someone else for it. Ironic, no? :disguise:


Yes, for the most part. Although I do try to enjoy the missions a bit and talk with everyone before making things go haywire

100% completion also includes closing every single Oblivion gate and investing and every single store - did you do that? I never have, that's for sure! I did play over 800 hrs on one game a long time ago. I didn't intend to join the Dark Brotherhood, but was looking for stuff to do, so I did. I had already become the divine crusader by that point, so I donned the Cowl of Nocturnal before every murder and before reporting in afterwards! Man, that was a pain!!

Go exploring!

Dear Mara! You just reminded me of something! I changed the cowl's appearance because it's ugly. Now it's a simple ninja mask occupying tail slot. I wonder if I can see the guy's face if I replay?

And The Helm of Crusader is now a Circlet of Crusader occupying tail slot :/ I wonder how it would look at the shrine?

Hey OP.... have you done the ingredient collecting quest in shivering isles?

That? Yeah, I have. I don't really want to do it again though, finding and gathering those ingredients are really tedious

Oblivion never ends as you can keep raiding dungeons and try to get every single item in the game.

I'm sorry to hear this. This way of playing a roleplaying game is alien to me but I guess a lot of folks do it this way.

When thinking about this issue I tend to divide gamers into two categories: those who like to be told a story and those who like to make up their own stories. I'm one of the latter. I like to make up my own stories. Oblivion is a kind of canvas upon which I paint my own pictures. I have very little interest in Bethesda's quests. I haven't finished a single quest line in the game (except for the main quest, once) and haven't even set foot in Shivering Isles. My characters and I like to explore, follow our noses, get into our own trouble. We don't need no stinkin' NPC telling us what to do.

My belief is that roleplaying is in the imagination, not in the game. As long as the player has imagination left there is still something to do in an Elder Scrolls game.

However, I wouldn't want everybody to play the way I play anymore than I would want everybody to think the way I think. It's a testament to the Elder Scrolls series that players are able to take such different approaches to play these games and yet still enjoy themselves for hundreds of hours.

On another note, I'm surprised to hear you say you don't know much about mods. Your 'Auto Reset Emotion' mod is a essential, must-have mod in every one of my mod lists. But anyway, don't use the Unique Landscape mods as a gauge when deciding whether your computer can handle mods. In my experience the UL mods can be fairly demanding. There are hundreds of interesting mods out there that you might like even more than the UL series that are very easy on a computer.

My playstyle has become ever so much more like Pseron Wyrd's over the last couple years.

My character has just gained some assistance for the besieged city of Kvatch from, of all places, Leyawiin. She is now working her way (with a few detours it seems) to the Arcane University to plead her case to the Council of Mages for more help. I fully expect them to ask her to complete several tasks no one ever heard of. I fear she will then be told to wait a couple weeks until the next Council meeting. Before she heads home to wait, I just know she's going to try her best to get Agronak gro-Malog to leave the Arena and go to Leyawiin to meet Buffy's beautiful fellow knight of the White Stallion. Then I bet she really will head home to Bravil to wait word from the Council of Mages. The annual archery tournament will be held there this year and promises to pull her into a lengthy web of intrigue and complex subplots. At least all that is my best guess based on traveling with her for a very long time. I never really know what she'll do in advance though. And if I ask her, she doesn't know either. For all I know, she may drag us to Anvil to see a sunset and share apple berry juice with Angel.

No quest mods, just imagination.

Wow thats a big accomplishment for 2 years. I can't play the same character for that long, I've probably done everything here also just not on the same char. Anyway did you also complete all the unmarked quests?

Yes, I'm one of the first. I can make up a story, but I always feel that they're missing something. My imagination is wild, but it's all for my own and soon they lose all the "interesting" bit. I'm good at copying, but not at creating. Something I DO have to admit.




Thank you, I didn't think someone would regard it so highly :wub:



Hmm... I might try that Frostcrag Reborn mod. I heard it contains quite a quest


Always an interesting story from you and Buffy, Acadian ^_^ I envy you. I can make up a story but can't go on to the details, only the big picture (as in, someone should go here and here, and do this, but not the details of the place nor the activity)


It's mostly because of Haruka. I like her a lot: seeing her face never bores me and sometimes even would occupy my minute or two every so often, just seeing her with free cam.

.................................. wait....

Reading that statement again, I feel like pervert :confused: but that's how it is, so yeah...

With mods, I would suggest servant of the dawn and malevolent. Both are really fun, and malevolent has a very interesting storyline(at least it did before I ended up doing a game-breaking glitch )
