Introduction
-----------------
I wrote this guide to inform people who have no idea that Oblivion Mobile is a completely different game than Oblivion. One day I was looking through games to buy on my cell phone (just about any cell phone that can buy new games, can buy Oblivion Mobile, it's $7.99 for unlimited use) and I remembered that there was an Oblivion game on cell phones. So really hyped up for Oblivion on the go I bought it, and tried it out... I was extremely disappointed. It's only a 1 - 3 1/2 hour game depending on how you play. But the more and more I tried it out the more and more I realized that it is no where near close to Oblivion, it mixes so many different game mechanics together that it is really its own game. Just with an Oblivion theme. And that is precisely what it is, if you want an Elder Scrolls themed game on your cell phone buy Oblivion Mobile, if you want Oblivion, get it for the PC or a console. But not for a cell phone.
Game Mechanics
------------------------
System: *There is no longer any skill based leveling, Oblivion Mobile has reverted back to classical Experience Points with pre-determined levels. Examples of this system are Dragon Warrior, Pokemon, the old school Final Fantasy's. Any game where you just do stuff and you level up without picking anything. Statistics are improved by a few points every level. *Death has no consequence what so ever in this game, you are reverted to the beginning of your current area, and all enemies you hurt before death stay at that heath you left them. *Your health and magicka both regenerate relatively fast, after a battle you can just wait a little bit instead of have to use a potion.*You are not able to hurt Citizens, Guards, or main quest line people. *The only way to buy or sell is to complete a mission and be sent to the "save and shopping menu". *The game auto saves every time you enter a new area, but you can only manually save at the end of a mission. There is one auto save slot and two manual save slots.
Sound: There is little sound in this game, Oblivion theme music at the beginning and end of the game, music for your deaths, and a short grunt noise after you kill one of your enemies.

Jauffre leaves and you are suddenly in Kvatch, you continue by walking by gaurds in battle with Daedra, you ask two other gaurds what is going on and where is Martin.

You pop down to the second floor, and explore that one until you find the trapdoor to the Troll King's Den.

May the Sun guide you... and the moon follow thereafter...". What you have to do here is find the Sun Totem towards the left of the map, you take it then place it in the marble pedestal with two hollow spaces in it.

Known Bugs
-----------------
*The environment is semi-random, so everything is in the same places, but they mix up how the land looks, every time they apply this feature some of the ground does not texture well with each other. Over-lapping itself. Not a very noticeable problem.
*Enemies don't have any boundaries unlike the player, they can walk through walls, on water, and float over gaps. Killing them in this state makes their dropped treasure unreachable.
*Equipment will randomly disappear, weapons, armor, but not items. In your status it will show you still have the attack and defense rating from the equipment but it will not be in your inventory.
*The weapons class availabilities were labeled wrong so Monks cannot use Axes, and Knights and Barbarians are able to use Axes. Monks can use Long Blades.
*During leveling up you never see Personality improve but eventually it will be higher than any other attribute.
