Punch a guard in the face. To prison you will go!

We are talking about the beginning of oblivion. Remember, You're not supposed to be there

Plus, how does anyone get into the Imperial Prison? I could have put myself there in search of solitude (not the city in Skyrim, of course) :lol:

Azura didn't like the fact that he was sneaking off from his duties, and got him involved in the Oblivion Crisis as payback.

Don't worry about it. I have to edit the spelling in practically every post I write. I will probably find something I need to edit in this post seconds after I hit the "Post" button.

I think sometimes it's too easy to get overly wrapped in lore to the point where it can begin to choke the fun out of things. I have a friend with a beautiful Khajiit. One day a few months ago, she simply walked across the Skyrim border and is now happily questing up there as the Dragonborne. Time is relative and who is to say what is possible when magic and gods are involved?

Talk to Falanu Hlaalu the alchemist in Skingrad, one of my character who started from Skyrim (It's complicated, he had 2 Skyrim live, 1 Morrowind and 1 Oblivion) get his backstory from her.

Spoiler

If you asked her about Skingrad, she will ask how much is it the fine for Necrophilia in Cyrodiil. If you choose the last option, your character would "somehow" know how much the fine is. :whistling:

I understand What You're saying, but lore is my favorite part of this series and I want to stay as true to it as possible. The lore details this game apart from all the other games

Too bad, there is no dialogue option 'You shouldn't worry about that since you burned down all the evidence

' (I assume, the burned down 'All Things Alchemical v 1.0' house near Roxey Inn is hers?')

Spoiler

But there's still some locked barrel in 2nd floor of All Things Alchemical. And my character definitely wouldn't want the key (well, not anymore).

Spoiler

He was sent to Imperial Prison for Necrophilia, Being Neverarine and all, Morrowind doesn't punish him severely but send him back to the Empire which also explains why he got placed in a special cell.

I despise Necrophilia

I despise Necrophilia

Yeah, it would take a certain sort of character to play that story, and I only play characters that I like.

You are only not supposed to be in that cell. That does not mean you are not supposed to be in prison. You could be in prison itself for any number of reasons. Be it a political prisoner who spoke out against the Empire, an innocent bystander who got accidentally arrested in a melee, someone framed by a political rival, or of course an honest to goodness criminal who got caught red-handed. You might even be the janitor, and accidentally locked yourself in the cell by accident when you were mopping the floor.

I never thought of that. Thanks for the insight.

I know what you mean, I am the same way. I have trouble playing characters I do not like. That is why I generally play 'good' people. But remember your assassin character. You do not always have to like who the character is to begin with to have an exceptionally good experience playing them.

And just listen to http://youtu.be/aowSGxim_O8 while you play to help yourself keep in the mood.

Actually, I liked Etta a lot. I didn't like what she was doing, but I understood why. She was very damaged by having been raised in a situation of constant abuse and despair, and she grew over time.

I despise Necrophilia

So do I, but this is the one character which has the most plot twist in his life, so Fanolu's story seems like the best candidate. On my good character I always roleplay as an adventurer or a merchant that is framed by a corrupt guard. He paid the fine but the guard still want to sent him to jail. So the guard just toss him to that special cell because if he tossed me in any other cell he could get himself in trouble.

Dear Mr OP, this is a fantastic idea! You should keep character updates somewhere, this sounds pretty interesting.
