No, you're reading it correctly, I used that line - from the game - as a reference since I didn't want to post any spoilers.

SPOILER - Do not read if you haven't done the Fighter's Guild Quests.



I've only done the Fighter's Guild a couple of times and I plan to do it again this summer, along with Knights of the Nine (never done) and the Shivering Isle expansion. I also plan to do The Ayleid Steps and about 8 other mods.

The reason I don't do the Fighters Guild is because, with FCOM added, that weapon drop quest becomes annoying hard. It adds a large number - once it was well over a dozen - goblins to the outside of the cave. Egghh. Now I wait until I can kill them all easily ...

Sorry for the double post:

Just a note that I added an alternative to the poll for those who do not find any quests boring or repetitive.

Yay! Thanks Dani! I just voted picking that one.

The gates got kind of old for me pretty fast but everything else im fine with

I especially hate number 3, but what is number 1 all about?

I hated killing the Rumare slaughterfish.

For one, they were way too tough for a fish and you had to kill 12 of them...twelve! They also were too hard to find. It took me the course of 5 days game time to find 12 of them and I leveled up my athletics skill 8 times trying to find them.

I'll never do it again.

Actually that's one of the easiest quests in the game if you know the trick. I guess I shouldn't post on this board though. But there is a way to do that quest without danger of being hurt.

Seriously? At level 1 and without cheating (e.g. opening the console and killing any enemies)? Or being an Argonian?

I agree it's a spoiler and shouldn't be posted here in this thread, but maybe you could put an answer in the spoilers thread or even just pm me? I've avoided the quest because the first time I died several times and the second time, wow, I ran into this huge freakin' slaughterfish - I am not making this up. It was whale huge. I don't know if it was added by OOO or MMM or maybe it's in the original game, but it was the largest animal I've very seen in Oblivion. Gargantuam slaughterfish, maybe?

@ Warren: Number 1 references the Tutorial Dungeon. Many people do a saved game at the end and use it for a new start.

The MG recommendations are getting pretty tiresome by now. The introduction dungeon is no problem, I have a mod which teleports you outside the sewers and lets you choose race, class etc. there.

And the "go fish" quest really sux.

I just sent you a PM with Savlian's kill the slaughterfish trick. Yes, there IS a giant slaughterfish hidden within the bowels of vanilla Oblivion!

Found it, saw it, killed it, got the trophy. :trophy:

THIS.

You should be able to abandon quests, destroy quest items, start the main quest whenever you want, and have an avatar as kool as mine.

I actually love the tutorial dungeon and I always play through it with every new character. As Pseron Wyrd said, I find it relaxing.

The ones I can't stand are the shopkeepers quest and the closing of Oblivion gates. Most of my characters end up going to the Imperial City at the beginning of the game and I always pick that quest there and I feel obligated to finish it. Even when I deliberately avoid it by not talking to any of the quest-givers, it is still annoying because the mere fact I'm avoiding it means that I'm still thinking about it! :banghead:

And I hate the Oblivion gates - and when I'm doing the MQ I just can't ignore them and I have to close them, which makes me hate them even more. Worse yet, once I tried to cheat my way through one of them and I felt so guilty that I feel I have to close them how they're supposed to be closed - so I hate them even more!!!! :swear:

Seriously? :bowdown: Well done. The moment I saw it, I got hell out of there ...



In the past, I've always used the quest marker to guide me to the fish. Now that I've disabled the quest marker, finding the fish will be a bit harder ....



Thanks and much appreciated.



I know its all I'm dreaming of ....

Oblivion gates. I just don't like them at all. They were neat the first time, but now there almost painful.

I think I might be able to pull most of that off, but getting an avatar as cool as yours? You have set the bar way too high!

Not so much 'crawling through the CharGen dungeoun' as 'it seemed like a good idea at the time!'

I decided I was going to sneak into a corner before approaching Dreth and setting off the Blades to come, and man did that take forever. Being the dummy that I am, I decided to go straight to 100 before doing anything. Twice. How long did it take? A long time. Hours, actually. Makes for a great time to read a book or browse a forum though. Only have to look back and check on it to make sure your button / anolog is still propped and that you aren't stuck on a "You've gained a perk!" screen.

Learned my lesson after the second, made a save right infront of the gate. Good times, goooood times.

Once I turned the difficulty way down and I started a battle with the emperor and we fought for a good 3 hours before I gave up.

Hehe. It wasn't that hard. Only problem was air and that frickin' fish is damned fast for its size and the "battleground" in is three dimensions.

I can no longer stand oblivion gates (think god the main quest is done) 29 gates closed on my character...except for 4 gates i kept having to do the same thing over and over again

The IC Merchant quest, still Debaser is too good to pass up. And Galrthir, sure that quest doesn't require you to do anything but report to him, but stil... stay away from me!

Me too. Doing the tutorial helps me shape my characters. What will they pick up? What will they not pick up? How will they behave around the top royal presence? It's different every time. My newest character (dark elf country witch) practically LIVED in the tutorial dungeons for 3 days (game days) before finally making it to where the Emperor was!

As far as this thread...I voted the slaughter fish one. Pesky beasts...that quest (the one the guy in Weye gives us) lasted way too long. Voted for the rats one, too. I also voted for the Oblivion gates one because that was my first reaction..."geez, I gotta close ANOTHER gate?" But after closing the 3rd one, it became somewhat addictive!

But I'd do them all over. Well, not the slaughterfish one.

Sewer with Baurus. God I dread it

"STICK TOGETHER!"

Yeah, you showed that mud crab...

I have to say the rumare slaughter fish, from the very first game they savaged me, but I'm a glutton for punishment.
Although this time I have yet to do it, so maybe I have broken my repetitive impluses.
