PC users, I implore you. I have heard half a story in the Skingrad Mage's Guild so many times.... and never have heard the end of the story. And was wondering if you could "see" into the game to see what the ending of the story is.

When hanging out at the Mages Guild in Skingrad, and just listening to the conversations, Adrienne tells a story, where she had just bought a sweetroll, then was accosted by three bandits. She says, "So I took the sweetroll and I...." and then Vigge starts interrupting (and I want to backhand him for it) and that's it. Never to hear the end of this damn story....

Anyone?
Or should I just make up my own ending?

My ending would be. "...I threw the sweetroll on the ground and watched them fight over it, and then I fired off my custom Enemies Explode Spell and walked away.... with my sweetroll intact."

What's your ending?

It's part of the character creation from past TES, and popped up again in FO3 (at your 10th BDay party, see above). There are a number of ways you can answer, from wimping out to diplomacy to confrontation.

Unfortunately there is no end.
Its just "I'll buy sweetrolls from Salmo the Baker any day. Once, I was carrying a sweetroll when three thugs attacked me. So, I took the sweetroll...." and thats it .
So you have to make it up on your own.

I'm talking about Oblivion..... and an overheard conversation, not one where I can participate....

No ending? Damn, all this time, I've been returning (when my business takes me to Skingrad) to try to hear the end of that story. So I will go with my Enemies Explode ending, or even better, when she threw the sweetroll on the ground, it also attracted a mud crab, and the crab killed the bandits. Thanks for checking in about it.

Yeah I got that. The conversation you are talking about is a nod to the past games.

So I Took The Sweetroll, And Burned The Whole City To The Ground!

Also note that this is from the test you can take in Arena, Daggerfall and I think Morrowind(Correct Me If I'm Wrong) to determine your class.

That is an inside joke. In the character creation part of Morrowind you are asked that the question of what would you do if some bullies took your sweetrooll. It's one of several questions meant to help recommend a class for you. The class recommendation depends on your characters answer. That's why they end that without saying what happened, since that depends on you. I've heard that from Guards in Skingrad too.

EDIT: I found the Morrowind question and possible answers on the wiki:

The Skingrad rumor is an inside joke about that.

Cool, Savlian. In FO3, I usually spit on the sweet roll.

Buffy lives in Cyrodiil and I asked her to tell me the story. She finished it like this:

". . . so I took the sweetroll and stuffed down the front of my blouse (hey, I'm a wood elf; there's plenty of room in there). Then I ran." :bolt:

I believe the game is scripted for Adrienne to get interrupted by Vigge. I also checked in the construction set and I couldn't find anything more on that conversation topic/ line.
"I'll buy sweetrolls from Salmo the Baker any day. Once, I was carrying a sweetroll when three thugs attacked me. So, I took the sweetroll...." That's all there is to that one. So you can probably stick to whatever ending you want to give it.

It's not just Adrienne. I also over heard it from a guard in Skingard. It ends the same way. You never hear the end in that case either, because that's the choice your character needs to make in Morrowind.

EDIT: I'm guessing there will be more sweetroll references in Skyrim.

Good point. I guess I overlooked the fact that conversation topic is labeled "INFOGENERAL" in the CS.
