WTF Moments in Oblivion

Post » Thu Aug 26, 2010 1:59 am

Just curious what weird things people have seen happened.

So I'm chilling in Cheydinhal looking for the Acrobatics Trainer and I see Farwil and the other dude chilling outside a locked Riverview so like a gentlemen I open the door for them using Alteration. I decide to follow them in and then instantly cast an invisibility spell so I don't get caught. Right as I'm casting one of the inhabitants goes all Mythic Dawn loco and promptly kills a Bosmer and an Altmer in front of Farwil's eyes. And he does nothing....

Tsavi in Leyawiin thanked me for closing an Oblivion Gate saying that she is grateful even though Count Terentius(from Bravil) wont acknowledge it.... then she complains about the Countess of Leyawiin being a racist.....

Aside from the usual "Oh my god, they killed City-Swimmer for stealing a loaf of bread!" moment that I bet just about everyone here has experienced, the weirdest thing I've seen was Rimalus Bruiant murdering his own dogs, with his bare hands, in the privacy of his living room. One of my characters decided to pay a late night visit to the Bruiants of Chorrol, and that was what she found. Blew my mind. :ooo:

One time I did go "WTF" was when I killed the Adoring Fan and then he appeared right back where he found me outside of the Arena. I made it my personal vendetta to kill him every time I saw him. Then I just had to keep killing guards..meh. Was a messy ordeal.

I don't think I ever said anything in my post about me not liking Oblivion. I thought Oblivion was great, for what it was. But it certainly wasn't as good as Morrowind. Personal opinion, however, take that however you will.
And apparently you took it negatively. So that's not my problem. :goodjob:

Although, one time I did go "WTF" was when I killed the Adoring Fan and then he appeared right back where he found me outside of the Arena. I made it my personal vendetta to kill him every time I saw him. Then I just had to keep killing guards..meh. Was a messy ordeal.


Ya I'm sorry I misinterpreted it wrong that's all, my bad. Haha ya. It was also kinda weird to go everywhere the the Adoring Fan and then when I first went into the Dark Brotherhood he never came in, then I go back out for my first quest and he's dead.

Some posts have gone away. I really hope I don't have to hand out warns to people for attempting to turn a topic into Yet Another MW vs OB thread, but I will if I have to. ;)

Ya that's why I was kinda snappy right away, I don't want this to become a thread like that. Anyways I digress.
I heard about the Countess of Leyawiin being racist but I was amazed at what I found when exploring the castle.....
How could two honorable and seemingly righteous people in her mother and her husband allow Alessia Caro to do what she does....

Some random Imperial Watchmen decides to call me a murdering bastard and tell me I've got blood on my hands, how rude. I mean I have murdered but there have never been any witnesses.....

My best WTF moment was right when I started the game out of the sewers. I was all "oooh, look at that pretty ruin over there." So I swam over. "Oh, look! Some people to talk to!" One hammer blow to the head by a redguard bandit lady and I was dead. :rofl:

My WTF moment was when I loaded up the game with an overhaul mod (Francesco's) and promptly got my behind spanked in the very first quest I tried to do out of the sewers "The Gravefinder's Repose." I mean when I did that quest before it was pretty easy. But this time around there were a couple of powerful Necromancers there along with Raelynn the Gravefinder, and their spells pretty much two shotted my summons (I play a mage). They also like summoning zombies, which are hard to kill for a lvl 1 mage, while being pelted by powerful lighting spells from well armored (!!!) Necromancers who can heal themselves......

Entering Rockmilk cave and hearing a weird rattling noise. I headed towards it and found a massive spiky thing on a chain spasming and whirling around the room for a few seconds, swatting bandits, marauders and even Mazoga before reattaching itself to the ceiling :shrug: WTF was my only response to it.

Wow. That's actually kinda spooky.

I'm sure everyone has seen the Imperial Guard (or Black HOrse Courier) that somehow gets stuck in one position, floating above the ground as if the horse jumped over something and got stuck... :wacko:

Outside of the Imperial City I had a glitch where I couldn't get back above water and didn't have water breathing so I drowned not fun.
Finding out that you couldn't join up with the Sirens gang as a female character.

Whenever I pass by the guard for Umbacano named Draconis he always burps really loud or something, I can't really tell what sound he's making.

I chuckled at this, please don't hate me. :D

It was! I mean, Chorrol is the quaintest little city in Cyrodiil, designed with tourist postcards in mind- it's not supposed to have a psychotic underbelly. I've since read that it's a known bug/glitch/feature that is likely to occur when you break in to their house, but I prefer to think that the Bruiants are just nuts. :nod:

So creepy, and I once did see a chain of three Imperial Horseman bobbing along like that, almost as if on an invisible conveyor belt. Their horses were all abandoned on the side of the road. *shivers*

Chorrol was the first town I saw a dead body in. I mean, I'd seen plenty of them out in dungeons and stuff, but I never expected to see one in a town. But I"ll never forget the first time I simply saw an NPC, dead, right in the middle of town near the Great Oak. I was stunned because there had been no fight. I just walked outside, and there he was, DEAD! :ooo: And what got me is there was this one other NPC (CAsta Scribona, or somebody upper-class) just standing there looking at him.

I thought This NPC might do something appropriate (cry? say a prayer?) because I was new to the game and didn't know what to expect. But she merely turned away towards another NPC who showed up, and started a conversation about how she saw a couple of "mudcrabs by the water recently". LIke nothing had happened and there wasn't a dead body right there. :eek:

Yea. Doesn't stuff like this freek you out? :cold: It gives me shivers too. Then I usually laugh

Just saw an Imperial Legion Soldier pick his nose while standing guard in front of the main entrance to the Imperial City.

Oh and for some reason I got Porphyric Hemophilia even though I am wearing the Ring of Vitality and should be immune to diseases.

I was once crossing the bridge over the Niben at Fort Alessia when I saw something down in the lake below. I jumped in to take a closer look, and http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion460.jpg is what I found. Is that the battleship Talos? you ask. No, it just a Legion rider and horse swimming across the lake. He even stopped to dispatch a few http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion461.jpg along the way.

Then not long after this I found http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion464.jpg Imperial Forester apparently arresting the hillside.

Ya I just looked that up. Its fine though just found it funny. Haha nice SubRosa. Also weird for me seeing horses chilling in front of city gates for no apparent reason or encountering dead horses on roads or Imperial Legion Horses alive with no rider next to an Imperial Legion Horse with a rider.

I'll never forget how a group of Imperial Foresters, bandits, hedge wizards AND goblins allied together against a single Frost Giant.

FCOM is pure WTFness.

Well...it's not exactly a mod. It can be described like this:

1) Take a giant Oblivion overhaul (new creatures, weapons, armor, items, clothing, ingredients...) of about 400 mb of size.

2) Take another one.

3) Take yet ANOTHER.

4) Include various misc weapon/armor/clothing/ingredients/etc, etc mods that together they size another 400mb/0,5 gbs.

5) Mix them ALL together perfectly.

That's FCOM.
