Forgive me if I post this in the wrong place this is only my second time on the forum. But I have a couple Oblivion questions.
1. On Oblivion for the PC how do you take screen shots?
2. While I was playing Oblivion on my 360 I had almost finished everything in the game when heading to Laywiin (spelling?) I found a Countess dead on the road! WTF??? Also in Chorrol the dogs that follow that one lady around were killed...and I didn't do it!!
The countess is no longer marked essential after a certain stage in the thieves guild. She also take trips, I think maybe once a month, outside of the City. On these trips she can be attacked, and if you are past that point in the thieves guild, she can be killed. As for the dogs, I don't know if that lady ever leaves Chorrol, but if she does its likely that she took her dogs and they were killed. It is possible that while you were in Chorrol you brought an enemy that was stalking you with you, and eventually the enemy encountered her and her dogs and they fought (this could be a stretch).
Main quest semi-spoiler
Spoiler If there are any mythic dawn sleeper agents in Chorrol then they could have activated while you were there and been attacked by her and her dogs. The sleeper agent would most likely win that battle
Her http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Rena_Bruiant on the uesp says that occasionally she is attacked by her husband, which could have caused the death of the dogs.
