well for me when i did the DB quests i didnt have a problem with the Purification, though it did svck to kill Ocheeva....but at the end of the DB quests when L.L. died kind of got to me because i was just starting to like the guy

There are have a few situations that have affected me pretty deeply, to the extent that I kind of dread doing them again in the game.

-Molag Bal's quest. Being evil? That's bad. Conning some innocent into doing evil? That's just messed up. Kicking a man while he's down? Also messed up. And I felt like a tool.

-That one Fighter's Guild quest, with the trolls. Reading Viranus' journal was like half tear-jerker, half nightmare fuel.

-The Purification. I think what makes it even worse is replaying it, and Ocheeva tells me that Lucien wants speak to me personally, and I'm like nuuuu don't make me go to him, it will only lead to bad things for you. Even if they are cold-blooded murderers, it's one of the friendliest guilds in the game. Except M'Raaj-dar. I have no qualms offing that punk. He wouldn't have been so annoying if he had just committed to being a jerk. But then he tries getting all buddy-buddy with me when he sees that I'm a threat. Too little, too late, dude.

-Recently, I replayed Shivering Isles, and was touched by the part where Sheogorath is talking about how his plan has failed, and he just sounds so depressed. It kind of put things in a different perspective. If I feel like crap when I kill my comrades in the DB, how must it feel to have to (transform into another entity and) destroy your entire realm? Over and over? I kind of wanted to hug him. Instead I hid behind Haskill.

I didn't take it personally And i completely understand what you're saying. From an objective point of view you do the world a favor by killing repeated murderes, but they were my buddies



That's about how i tought about it too, though only for Ocheeva. the rest i killed without them seeing them coming. Teinaava shouted "Sithis save me!" when he died, little did he know that He (?) is the one who wanted him dead...



Wise choice. After that "I'm so happy i could tear out your intestined and skip rope with them!" line i was always ready to run away screaming when dealing with him :bolt:

just remembered another upsetting the moment while doing the Fighters Guild quests and doing that one mission for the blackwood company...upset me to find out we werent really killing goblins

That one bothers me too. I've only done it once, and don't intend to do it again. At the time, my only consolation was that it was to help stop Dagon's invasion -- the end justified the means, but just barely, and I could only hope it would be enough to put the man's soul to rest.

I've yet to do the DB, and probably never will. Started it once, dropped the mounted deer or whatever it was on the guy's head, but just lost interest in that character and never got back to him.

For the first time, I found myself deeply disturbed by two parts of the game.

The imagery of the dead bodies hanging from the various towers in the different Oblivion Gates disturbed me because they were slightly out of focus and yet in detail enough to be EWWW. And they were generally everywhere in Oblivion no matter which gate you went through. Then there were the various "The Punished" and the little skin pods all over the place that you know, you just know they were something alive before and you just wonder if they still are alive in there.

The other part that disturbed me was the Shivering Isles expansion. I'm including everything from Shivering Isles because each quest builds on the next. When you do that first quest for Sheogorath and have to dispose of the adventurers yourself in order to leave is just disturbing. Do you make them go mad or do you kill them? And your hand is on the button making that decision. Then later for lighting the fire at Cylarne, you have to choose which group will be sacrificed either Golden Saints or Dark Seducers. And it doesn't matter a bit with the actual lighting of the torch, you still have to decide which to lite. Killing the Duke or Duchess is required as well in order to continue later. After I completed it for the first time, I sat back and just stared at the screen.

Don't get me wrong, I believe I enjoy the Shiving Isles as the best part of the entire game, and I'm not sure how disturbed that makes me.

Oo yeah, those creep me out too, especially when I find clothing.

Even worse with the Harvest Containers mod, some of those pods used in outside and in caves open up and reveal a decomposing corpse inside them... :yuck:

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1112537-awww/ are some more "sad panda" moments

I still cry about Lucien sometimes late at night.

http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv43/Acadian6/ScreenShot569.jpg was a sad story.

Whats that a picture of?

Looks like the Uderfrykte Matron thing at Dive Rock.

Yes, thanks for the help, Sajaki. Sorry, Jyggalag, I should have put in some more clarification. Sad story, that.

What bothered me the most was hearing the orc in the dark brotherhood brag and joke about tormenting and murdering a little girl on her birthday. I was NOT expecting that. I didn't do any more quests for the brotherhood after hearing that little gem. In fact I think those two or three lines of dialog are the only reason I won't do the DB.

I'd like to know what all those people in DB party house quest did to the guy who owned the mansion? In a sick way I love toying them to kill each other, specially the dark Elf and the Noble mwahahahaha. Most of them were jerks I bet anyways. Only one I feel sorry about killing is the Nord. Poor bastard, I made sure to kill him quickly while he was drunk.

Dark elf - shes just a....well you know using her looks to get money.
Imperial -well only reason I don't like him is he hates nords. but I feel bad for Nelles because of his daughter. Hes a soldier of course some of his friends are dead.
Breton- annoying and shes old, so no big deal.
Noble- Snob, case closed.

Walking among the corpses at the Battle of Bruma is a distinct moment that I remember vividly. I specifically remember Jauffre's death, he charged a group of Dremora and Flame Atronachs alone, killing most of them but being killed by an atronach's fireball in the end. I immediately charged the atronach in a fit of rage, killing it with a few strikes from my enchanted katana. After this, the Great Gate opened and after I'd removed the Great Sigil Stone, I returned to Tamriel with the corpses of Baurus, Captain Burd, and Viera Lerus strewn across the snow-covered ground. Me, being the heavy role-player that I am, took quite a while to mourn their passing and take an item from each of their corpses, to make sure I always remembered their noble sacrifice. I even used Baurus's Akaviri Katana throughout the rest of the Main Quest. I've only completed the Dark Brotherhood twice but all the quests of that Guild are sad, and killing Perennia Draconis just made me sick. I also had a strange feeling of sadness when Antus died while I was on the Odiil Farm quest. Oh, and some of the Kvatch Soldier's deaths too. There are actually a lot of moments in this game that make me feel some real emotion, and that's one of the reasons why it's such a great game. Long live TES!

The first time I did the "Infiltration" FG quest and zapped all those "goblins" and then found out what I had done...felt really sad and almost sick. Poor Biene. In all games after that I just walk back toward town without killing anything until I'm "found." Still feel sad though, but I want to finish the FG stuff.

Viranus' death and his journal entry are so sad too.

I once played Oblivion for 48 hours straight only taking bathroom breaks. I had a mini fridge in my room and also I microwave so I could eat and drink. It was for a bet, my friend was going to pay 100 bucks if I won and if he won I would pay him. Anyone I won the bet, I never slept for 2 days only fueled by energy drinks. I explored the entire map and parts of shivering isles, I also had Oblivion running on my PS3 as well. So after playing Oblivion on two systems for 2 days straight I collected my winnings and went to sleep. Then I woke up in a prison cell, I realized it was the Imperial prison!!! I heard Valen Dreth say I was human garbage, I tried to viciously get out of my cell so I could punch him in the face, thats when the empereor and the blades came. This is where it gets funny. Uriel Septim says your the one from my dreams, I punched him in the face and he was knocked out. The mythic dawn agents came and I blacked out and appeared outside of the imperial sewers. I then explored Cyrodill, it was so cool. It was just like I was actually there. I decided to go to the Imperial city. There I enjoyed the sites, I met Captain Lex. I asked him about the Gray Fox, he the said I was the gray fox and tried to arrest me. I was then saved by the Adoring fan. He summoned Mehrunes Dagon and Lex was squashed. I then pulled a keyboard out of no where and use the console command kill on the fan. Lol, I then attacked every one using the keyboard as a weapon. The keyboard was enchanted and killed in one strike. I then looked at my map which randomly came from nowhere and fast traveled to Kvatch. I appeared there and used kill all console command and ran directly into the oblivion gate where I was greeted by I Rick roll video. I woke up laughing, apparently I laughed so hard I woke up. I looked at the clock, 12 hours past. This was the best dream i've ever had. The Rick roll I am not sure why it was in my dream.

No, not particularly. There have been some odd coincidences though.

My grandfather's Native American name is Grey Fox. No b.s.

I like to meet him so I can say "As I live and breathe! The Gray Fox!"

That is pretty much AWESOME!



WARNING - SPOILERS!!!! [even tho no one else said it, just in case. Don't want to ruin the main quest for anybody.]







I really get into the game, I mean I REALLY do. So when I did the fighters guild quest and killed that town full of people that I thought were goblins and saw that girls dad there mourning over it....my jaw literally dropped and tears swelled up in my eyes. I couldn't believe it.

There were times where I was absolutely scared out of my mind and couldn't even move through my own house cause I was scared a zombie or a goblin would come around the corner and attack me [mind you, I cannot stand the zombies in the game, I refuse to let the touch me so when I'm fighting them I swing and run backwards and swing again, no touchie!!]. SO when I walked into the lighthouse for the DB and saw that head sitting there I jumped about a mile and could not walk any further, I sat there for a good 5 minutes, frozen, feeling queezy and scared [censored]less.

When I was finishing up the Dark Brotherhood quest and I was told to kill all those people at the sanctuary, I actually thought they were the bad people...until it came to the part where I saw Lucien Lachance...I felt sick immediately and of course had tears in my eyes. I was shocked and couldn't believe what I had done. I wanted to slash all of their necks for making me think the wrong thing. I did grow to like him very much!

Now the very first time I played the main quest, I was at the "Great Gate" part of it, and I knew we were doing good, I made sure everyone stayed alive, well after I came back from the Great Gate...I was all happy and smiles and excited then I saw......Jauffre and Baurus on the ground...dead. My smile couldn't of gone away faster, I cried. Just sat there and cried while everyone else cheered. My eyes were burning when I went up to both of them and grab both of their katanas so I could make a "memorial" in my battlehorn castle. I grew very attached to them.

Then it got to the part where I was escorting Martin to the Temple and he said he had a plan..so I'm like ok let's do this! wooo! Then when he tells me goodbye, I started screaming "NO!"...yeah literally. Then I stared open mouthed as he turned into the dragon and killed "HIM" and he froze and then it went into the video...my mouth was still open and tears just started rolling. I was beside myself and was extremely upset. I stopped playing for days, it was hard to handle for me.

Call me crazy but I was REALLY into that game.

There was actually more to that dream but I've long forgotten it, I had it written down somewhere if I find it I will post it. I remember it being a really epic dream though because I was able to control myself in the dream.

Oblivion not so much, well at-least not as much as morrowind. I quite literally wanted to strangle Vivec, rip out his heart and scream "Your false, trecherous god's heart beats no more!!" from the roof tops of Vivec City. As you can imagine, i was very disappointed to read that he reached CHIm in the lore.

#1- I was somewhat sadden by Martin's demise.

#2- In that quest where you kill a "nest of goblins" from a village, I barged into one of the homes and realized why the goblin didn't attack. I just ran away.

#3- When I completed the Mage's Guild quest, I took the Ring of Burden and marched up to the Sigil Stone of the Kvatch gate and closed it, destroying the ring in the process. May it never again harm anyone else.
