I was put in jail for an unknown heinous crime, so i could be teased by a stupid dunmer, then meet the emperor in a cell that is supposed to be off limits, but the imperial watch is too stupid to remember that, and then the emperor remembers me from some random dream, probably about me naked or something... then i escape from my imprisonment through a completely random and bizarrely placed secret tunnel that leads to the sewers... and i go on to save the entire world... even tho i was a criminal who had been given the death sentence only several weeks before... and the guards dont remember me one bit... yep, that sounds about right... am i missing anything else that could never happen in a million years?

(regardless of this post, i still absolutely love the game of Oblivion, by far my favorite game of all time)

Sure you did :), you forgot that the criminal went on to become the master of the fighter's guild, destroyed the blackwood company, defeated mannimarco making him archmage of the mages guild, killed almost everyone in the darkbrotherhood making him/her the listener, stole an elderscrolls from the imperial palace, broke the curse of the gray fox and became the gray fox, not to mention other smaller accomplishments (and that's just in vanilla :dance: )

Some extremely high ranking member of the council became insanely jealous of my amazing accomplishments as the Nerevarine. On my way to Akavir (bit of a coincidence that the Nerevarine goes missing just as you show up in Cyrodill) to put them to the sword I was jumped by some mages who wiped my memory and sold off all of my artifacts of Tamriel the feckless gobsheens.

In Oblivion, my main character (a paladin) was poor before he started adventuring.
One day in the Waterfront I was paying debts on my shack when a leather clad Redguard came by, Armand Christophe I believe was his name,
being chased by Hieronymus Lex. He gave me a few coins before he ran off again, unfortunately I realized they were stolen septims. I was arrested and sent to prison for a week for accepting stolen goods.

hahaha true, oh, and eventually replaced sheogorath as the daedric prince of madness, and gained the favor of all of the daedric gods to obtain all of their relics, and became the holy crusader regardless of the fact that i started out my story as a criminal on death row...

In Morrowind and Oblivion you start in prison (or a prison ship), and I ask how did you end up there?

In Morrowind, my dunmeri knight, Sir Zalphon Broodikus, was framed for a crime he did not commit.

In Oblivion, the same knight was once again framed.


Everyone knows that's what they all say (when you're guilty) =P

My charactor was an evil insane murderess, but a very good actor, who was pretending to be a prosttute to get a target alone when a guard jumped up from behind a barrel and arrested her for soliciting. But the cells they keep the prosttutes in were packed that night so the guard thought he'd just put me in this nice convenient cell no one ever used.

She was quite content to stay the night then go kill her target the next day when some wierd old guy comes in and starts talking about his dreams.. whatever, she's off the become listener of the darkbrotherhood and the madgod.

i got a few for my character in oblivion:

*trying to form an anarchist guild
*promoted worshipping of sheogorath and sanguine and at the same time said the nine divines were "dull, dull, dull"
*tax evasion (he lived in cheydinhal, but there was no room in the prison so he was sent to the imperial city prison instead)

My main character, Salvius, got thrown into the prison (only for a short sentence) for a simple brawl. Before his paladin days, he was just your average joe- not a saint but not a demon, either. So one day he's having a drink in a pub when one of the more rowdy citizens of Chorrol decides it'd be fun to push Sal's buttons.

It went on a bit too far, and eventually Salvius got up and took him down a few levels. Needless to say Sal was arrested for assault and put into the jail. Odd how he never met this particular rowdy man again.

In Morrowind, my Imperial, Lulianne Varanus, was arrested for alleged war crimes on the Cyrodiil/Elsweyr border.
She was a former Captain in the Imperial Legion; whether or not the allegations were true varies depending on the person you're asking.
Lulianne did, after all, have something of a reputation for well-intentioned extremism- some people say she cut down innocents in cold blood; others say that these so-called 'innocents' were in fact Skooma traffickers, and she chose to act on her own rather than be bogged down in red tape. Either way, things turned out badly.

In Oblivion, my Dunmer, Sovari Milo, was in Cyrodiil for diplomatic reasons; she's a retainer of House Hlaalu and had arrived, ostensibly, to cement a trade agreement with a powerful merchant family.
In fact, she was actually there in order to touch base with an undercover Morag Tong cell. They had been unresponsive for far too long; as it turned out, all ten of them had been dead for some time and the entire affair had been a trap (though who orchestrated it and why is still unknown to her).
She wound up being framed for mass murder; how very ironic.

Morrowind: 1) Elyssa Halaya, Dunmer female. Raised somewhere on the Skyrim/Cyrodiil border, ran off to the Imperial City at a young age. Fell in with a gang of self-proclaimed witch hunters who were actually a band of thugs. Elyssa took it all very seriously. She got into alchemy and was very proud of her healing potions. Unfortunately, she wasn't as good at alchemy as she thought, and poisoned a client. While it was technically manslaughter rather than murder, the authorities didn't care and let her rot in jail until the order to send her to Morrowind. Elyssa was delighted, as she'd always wanted to see her "ancestral homeland", and promptly did her best to become more Dunmer than the Dunmer.

2) Melario Indarys, Dunmer male. Raised in the Imperial City and thought of himself as a citizen of the Empire first, Dark Elf a distant second. Very sweet-natured and easy-going, but easily manipulated. Fell in with a bad crowd, did a little hell raising. Did a LOT of hell raising. Got caught in a brawl. Witnesses swore up and down that Melario struck the first blow, and he was (as usual) out of cash. Into jail he went until the orders. Melario had never given Morrowind a moment's thought before, but exile is better than prison, right? Drifted a bit until he decided impulsively to join House Redoran, whereupon he embraced his Blades cover as Perfect Redoran--something that would have startled those who knew him at a younger age.

Oblivion: 1) Sella, Dunmer female. Such a goody-goody that I have no idea how she ended up in prison. Probably threw a fireball at the wrong time and figured it was all part of the Nine's divine plan.

2) Gilvas Andrano, Dunmer male. Extremely bitter and burned out former Ordinator. Did NOT take kindly to being called "ashpit" by a bunch of outland scum. 'Nuff said.

In Oblivion, I spent ages saving up money to buy the big house in Skingrad and all the furniture. I was arrested for kidnapping a small Nord and making him my House cleaner. Something about Nord rights...

I
am Sinduron.
Some of you may know me, others may not. For those who do not know me, I am a ranger. Once many era's ago the rangers were well known defenders of nature. They were men and mer who lived together with her, respecting her. we never killed a natural animal and they never attacked us. We were also hunters. Hunters of monsters. The rangers disappeared, perished in battle, killed by time. Now we are with few, but we still protect nature and live alongside it. Well I am a ranger and I don't like it when animals get killed. It was last seed 19, 3E433 and I saw a group of legion foresters hunting down a group of deers. They were with five armed with bows. They killed all the deers and took them. I was outrageous. I took my sword, because I lost all of my arrows in a battle with some goblins, and started attacking them. I killed one of them before they saw me. They weren't strong enough for me in my rage and they knew it, so they ran away like cowards. I ran after them. I was faster. Every time I ran past one, I turned 'round and sliced his throat. I reached the last one on the road. He was tired from the long run and was begging me to keep him alive. I chopped his head of with one swing of my blade. I looked around and saw a company of imperial soldiers. They saw me committing the murder. One already let his string go and an arrow penetrated my leg. Soon two more followed, both in my chest. I lost consciousness an fell down on the ground. The world became black. When I woke up I saw I was chained and sitting on a horse. they gave me food and a bedroll to sleep but nothing more. When we reached the imperial city, they handed me over to the city guard. They threw me in jail to rot.


thats his story.
BTW: i'm new here, think it's my first post :-p nice to meet y'all
