So ive been spending all day swimming aroun in the bays and running around random caves, just looking for any secrets that noone has discovered, stuff like fin gleam, and i started to wonder....is there anything else...has it all been found? What do yall think?

I fear that most of it has been found.

This. You would be better off, finding things on your first playthrough on your own, rather than us ruining things for you. Start questing, you will be rewarded well.

Yeah thats what i fear too ive played the whole quest line a couple times, now i just run around finding cool places and hope to find cool stuff

Well, why don't you tell us? Of course NONE of us know for sure whether or not all the secrets have been found.
I mean how many of us actaully went, looked through and explored every inch, cave, ocean bottom or house in the game? Right?

Some unique items have no real quests tied to them and are hidden throughout Cyrodiil. I, for one, never noticed Calliben's Grim Retort. And I must have done the Unfriendly Competition Quest 10 times or more...

Also, some Easter Eggs to take notice of.

This is what I'm going to do with ES:V, nothing will ruin my surprise then.

Same here. Reading the UESP before getting the games ruined them for me, both Morrowind and Oblivion. I'll be glad for a blind playthrough, for once.

There's good and bad with reading the UESP and the forums before getting the game.
The bad is you learn just where all the cool stuff is without needing to actually explore the gameworld yourself.
The good, you learn just what is broken where. examples: all the bugs in a Cure For Vampirism, how Frostcrag Spire overwrites a certain test cell, how completing the Unearthing Mehrunes Razor quest breaks all the default Daedric War Axes.

Thats why I would just stick to the 'Glitches' part of the wiki.

Go play Morrowind.

10 years later and i occasionally still find little cool things ive never noticed before.

Oblivion is too cut and paste to have anything original in it after one weeks play. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry, but this area is for people who like Oblivion, are curious about Oblivion, and/or know what they are talking about. Perhaps you should go play Morrowind, if that's all you're interested in, and not start bashing Oblivion when you get bored. The truth is that Morrowind is more copy and paste, believe it or not. Oblivion has more characters with unique dialogue, more dungeon pieces, random loot in containers, and has procedurally-generated terrain while Morrowind has more copy-and-paste dialogue for characters, less dungeon pieces, copy-and-paste, static loot in containers, and copy-and-paste terrain. Technically, Morrowind is more copy-and-paste with the lack of procedural generation tools found in Oblivion to accomplish the same tasks just as well. I play Morrowind and love it, but it has its own place and some of its fans don't need to pick on a certain other game by law, so please leave if there is no personal reason for you to be here other than making false remarks and/or bashing the game. Thank you.

To the question at which this thread is directed, I'm not sure if there are still secrets out there that haven't been discovered by the collective fanbase or not. I doubt it, even with a game this large, since it came out nearly five years ago, but there is still more stuff that I am personally discovering. There was one thing I found the other day that I don't recall being mentioned anywhere on the UESP, though. I found Did anyone else find that? What about

Ha ha. Oh yeah, I remember this room from my first time there. :spotted owl:

Everything has already been found. The construction set has been gone through too many times by modders for something to have gone undiscovered.

Do you remember what the book was called?

After searching through the UESP, I finally found the book. It's http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:The_Posting_of_the_Hunt.

Been to both.
All mappable locations, I make a priority to add to my map after starting a new game, irrespective of how long it takes.
As for the unmappable locations, those are more fun to find and remember just how you came across the location in the first place. It was just such a chance find when I was mapping the shrines, that I chanced upon the location you did. Try as I might, in subsequent games, I've not chanced upon that area again.

Lots of interesting places and things to discover, some not even on the links above.

For example, did you find the location where necromancers are apparently performing some ritual on a Goblin?

Did you find the little Calvicus Vile and Dog statue?

I also like just admiring the diversity of dungeon design.

Amazing how some can apparently think that TES IV is cut and paste. It is anything but cut and paste.

All the dungeons looks the same then you are farming rockmilk cave
Seen some pretty strange things travelling around, I avoid dungeons I have visited before unless I have a good reason.
Strangest was probably a giant cave with a dead forest, no special monsters or loot just a strange place, don't remember where it is and has not found it again.

A few of my favorites (may be mentioned on the UESP or not, but are just my favorites) are:

the necromancer hide-out of Elennglynn, which has one of the neatest trap designs I've ever seen in a dungeon, although the dungeon itself is pretty small

Sideways Cave, enough said

Black Rock Caverns, ditto - enough said

the various goblin tribes

Vilverin - love the background story/stories in there

Fingerbowl cave - ancient, large gravesite?

Shadowbanish wine and, while linking to Vilverin, Ayleid statues

the abandoned, undead-infested house across the street from Rosethorn Hall; I'll never sleep in my Skingrad home, peacefully, again thanks to that

Dive Rock

the suicidal troll

the corpse of the man with a letter to his daughter




There are a lot of major quest-related dungeons/secrets I find quite interesting, as well. Sancre Tor is one of my absolute favorite dungeons of all time, Frostfire Glade is just neat, and, with KotN, I love the puzzle-filled Fort Bulwark.

Right! And how about some shipwrecks. Or an Aylied ruin with a waterfall. Or a cave with a fort in it. Or an underground lake. Or an underground Forrest. Or a few dungeons with push button puzzles. And we're not even mentioning the DLCs or Shivering Isles expansion

Pretty good for a "cut and paste" game I think.

I've never seen those two things you mentioned previously, however, and I want to see them. Where did you find them?

Anyone else read that crumpled up note in the Arena bloodworks connecting Owyn to Branwen? Has anyone else found Cadlew Chapel? The Orc adventurer from Orsinium? All 15 Daedric statues? The various inns and related quests attached to them? The Ayleid researcher in the Ayleid ruin near Bravil? The goblin-marauder war inside a fort I can't remember (think it was Fort Nikel, but not sure)? The mine hidden behind a waterfall and containing a strange, vertical entrance design due to use of a trap door and a uniquely small entrance area with pickaxes in an area suggesting the mine was recently in use (called the Infested Mine)? The Argonian tribe in Veyond Cave? The shrine in Barren Cave? The unique, trap door design of Broken Promises Cave? Smoke Hole Cave? Drunken goblins? The hall of worship in Pothold Caverns? The original "All things Alchemical" shop? The abandoned house in the middle of nowhere?

Who has seen http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Unmarked_Places#Shipwreck?

Finding crystal chests in Shivering Isles can be fun. I've also found some chests in ruins in SI that were way up high and out of reach. Can't remember which ruins they are though, plus they must not've had very memorable treasure either (or at least I can't remember what I found ).

Beside Owyn, In the Imperial Arena, On the floor next to the cupboards containing the Battle Raiments, is a small piece of paper.
Its from Branwen, His daughter, Who is actually outside the arena, training with her Argonian friend.
Neither Owyn or Branwen will talk to you about the subject.
Its suggested that it is a unfinished quest, maybe, maybe not.
Its good to see anyway!
