What was your favourite quest in Oblivion?

Post » Fri Jul 29, 2011 6:49 pm

My favourite quest, well, I'm not even sure if it is a real quest since it never showed up in my journal.

I was traveling across Cyrodill just for fun, out exploring. I saw a massive mountain, and decided to climb it. I was overly joyed when I reached the top (it took me about half an hour real time of tapping jump and running forwards, cause it was a sheer drop.), partially because I didn't hit an invisible wall at the top (I run into them all the time, it drives me crazy). Anyways, I was heading back down a different way (I was actually looking for the steepest way down and jumping to see if I could kill myself from a fall). I didn't die, but my health was very low after the first jump. Then, suddenly, battle music started playing. I got up on a rock, and looked around for a while. Nothing. I climbed down, sword drawn, then out of nowhere I was hit! I spin around, I see nothing, then I'm hit again, from right in front of me! I start slashing madly I hit something. It's invisible. I hit it over and over, and finally kill it, near death myself. I look around for a moment to find its invisible body. It is titled "Uderfrykte Matron". Quite an imposing name. I find a full set of fur armour, a unique bow, and a full set of Svenja's bones. I am very puzzled right now, but then I see something out of the corner of my eye, over a small ridge. I go to it, and I see another body. The body of "Agnar the Unwavering". He has nothing of interest on him. I eventually give up on trying to figure this odd occurrence out, and move on. However just as I round the next bend, I see a camp. I rush to it, and there is an incredible lookout, and the location is marked as dive rock. Oddly enough though, there are two bedrolls in the tent. I look around for a moment, then see a journal. I pick it up, and read it, and I learn of the story of Agnar and Svenja.

It was an awesome encounter/quest, probably my favourite. Does anybody know if this is an actual quest?

Sancre Tor - actually a challenge, and was a diversion from the MQ.

Ultimate Heist - long, difficult avoiding all the enemies and I liked the ending (was a surprise first time round)

Umbacano's Quests - I liked the Ayleid ruins in the game more than any other dungeon so it was fun exploring them for statues, the last fight was tricky and required clever tactics for my prefered character types to survive.

Not really a quest but after reading Agnar's journal it's a sweet feeling to avenge both of them by killing the Matron. Dead, she looked like a Troll. I took the remains of Svenja and put them near Agnar's body. I kneeled to pray and deposit a lighted torch..... RIP
