Elder Scrolls Oblivion Let Me Try That Again

• An infamous line in the game didn't edit out a bad accept properly, leading to you hearing the voice actor say "Wait, lemme try that over again" and then repeat the line. Aye, really.
  • And even funnier, this mistake was fabricated past the Master Trainer for Speechcraft!
• Sheogorath's quest where flaming dogs fall from the sky.
  • Information technology's fifty-fifty funnier if you do information technology during the later half of the Shivering Isles story; Sheogorath or Haskill volition lampshade how you're screwing around similar this when Jyygalag and his ground forces are on your doorstep in the Isles.
  • On the other hand if you do it after the Shivering Isles story, Haskill will make weary comments near how you lot're basically merely worshiping yourself similar a jackass.
• During the Thieves' Guild quest "Misdirection", all the guards will run around the Waterfront, asking about the Gray Trick. Sometimes they'll even interrogate each other... and if you lot're standing nearby, they will await at you and simultaneously enquire you the same question. Even meliorate when they accept the aforementioned vocalisation.
• In Leyawiin, the Argonian hunter Weebam-Na is obsessed with the town's rampant rat problem which originated from a failed eating house serving all sorts of rat dishes. 1 of said dishes was the delectable "Rat Ragu [sic] with Powdered Deer Penis!"
  • Yous just know someone wanted to run wild with that "penis" line...
• In Sanguine'southward shrine quest, he tells you to cast a spell called "Stark Reality" on the Countess of Leyawiin and her company at her dinner party. The spell strips anyone in its range of all of their equipment, but he neglects to mention that the spell also affects the pulley (yous are completely stripped of all your items when you lot utilise information technology). Using it is as well considered attack because it has a "Drain Health 1" event, and then the guards will immediately endeavor to abort you. So if yous don't want to go to prison, (since the spell likewise removes all your gold so you tin't pay the fine,) you're forced to run out of the urban center butt naked with a agglomeration of angry guards chasing after you.
• The random conversation system in Oblivion can outcome in a lot of hilarity when certain lines are combined.

  Denizen ane: "Practice you remember what happened to Kvatch would happen here?"
  Denizen ii: "Without a question." ^annotation For those who don't know, Kvatch was overrun by Daedra that spawned from sudden Oblivion hell gates, and then burned and destroyed.

  • Or:

    Mage: "Noble scholar, may I accept a moment of your fourth dimension? It's rather urgent."
    Scholar: "Good 24-hour interval."

  • Here's a particularly entertaining conversation.
  • Something which must exist experienced is when two characters say the verbal same affair, at the verbal same time, in two unlike voices.
  • Characters forgetting their own name/rank:
• Sheogorath, at 1 betoken during the Shivering Isles expansion, says, "I'm so happy I could just tear out your intestines and strangle you lot with them!"
  • And later - "Then out come the intestines. And I skip rope with them!"
• Sheogorath's response if you choose to replace Syl:

  Sheogorath: A dangerous choice. I like it!

• "You have pleased the Mad God! I, for one, would nevertheless like to eat your optics!"
  • Let'due south not beat around the bush here, Sheogorath averages a vivid and commonly hilarious line every two minutes or and then. At least until his terminal conversation...
• During a sure Mages' Guild quest (Liberation or Apprehension), you run into a Woods Elf named Fithragaer inside an Ayleid ruin (Nenyond Twyll). After a trivial conversation, he eagerly runs deeper into the ruins to vanquish up some necromancers... and gets caught in a ceiling spike trap.
  • To top that, at that place's a glitch that'll cause the spike trap to keep activating every bit long as Fithragaer'southward corpse is on information technology, significant that the trap will continuously pummel him into the ceiling!
• In Skingrad, inquire Falanu Hlaalu about the city. She'll ask you if you know what the fine for necrophilia is, and she'll exist very happy if you give her the answer.

  Champion: Is it the first offense?
  Falanu: Let'south assume... no.
  Champion: Then it'due south at least 500 golden.
  Falanu: That's nothing compared to Morrowind, thanks!

  • The fact that your PC even knows what the fine is raises questions every bit to why he/she was in jail in the first identify...
• Enquire Owyn about rumors. "I heard a rumor that you're an idiot. There any truth to that?"
• Aldos Othran'south Cliff Racer song.
• The Adoring Fan. Swoop Rock. That is all.
  1. The elementary method
  2. Play tricks him into walking over it
• If Game Mods count, there's one modernistic that overhauls the mode beggars piece of work (and then they can pickpocket you if you lot stand to close to them, you can contract diseases from them, et cetera) in addition to adding several new ones around the game. One of them, in Skingrad, is a skooma addict and has his own lines. The but matter he'll ever say, no matter what you inquire him, is "SKOOMA!". One of your dialogue options? "Aagh, become away from me, you freak!". To which he replies "SKOOMA!"
  • There's a woman in the Shivering Isles who's fond to skooma, which she asks you for every time you talk to her. If you give her some, she shouts "Skooma! SKOOMA!"
    • However, if y'all don't give her whatsoever, she'll be greatly upset and tell you she "hopes you trip and fall on a sword!" ...And then requite the histrion a coincidental "farewell."
• In the Shivering Isles expansion, you can encounter Hirrus Clutumnus, who tells you that he wants to end his life. Notwithstanding, he can't actually kill himself, otherwise his spirit will end upwards trapped on the Hill of Suicides, so naturally he asks yous to practise it. Fortunately, he happens to visit a balcony without railings, and you have the dialogue choice of pushing him off. The best function is the full non-reaction of the Nighttime Seducer who sees the whole thing happen. Apparently, this sort of thing happens all the time...
• Ane cavern unrelated to any quests features a dead goblin and a large beer keg. The goblin is lying on its back with its confront under the spigot.
• One quest is given to y'all by a drunk who believes that in that location's someone in Cheydinhal that looks similar him. He tells you, dead serious:

  Reynald Jemane: Yous're going to travel to Cheydinhal, and find out what sort of imposter is trying to asperse my good name. And yous're going to tell him... *hic*... Yous're going to tell him I am quite capable of besmirching my good name on my own. He should cease and desist immediately.

• Guards manifestly have the memory span of a goldfish.
  • The height comments read: "He didn't forget, information technology's just a very poor cover-up!" "The video is a metaphor for government."
• The Summon Haskill power from Shivering Isles. Haskill is Sheogorath's chamberlain and literally the Merely Sane Human being in the unabridged realm. If you lot haven't played the game, imagine you have the power to summon a stereotypical dry-witted British butler at volition to give yous helpful but snarky advice on your quests.
• There's a dungeon in the Shivering Isles specifically designed to lure in adventurers and screw with them. The one that takes the block is an illusion that makes an orc see his corpse laying on the flooring and come across himself equally a ghost. He has a debate with himself about how he can't peradventure be expressionless because he wasn't in a fight yet there's his torso and its then unfair.
• Imperial Legion Foresters are programmed to chase deer. Deer are programmed to be friendly to foresters, and then if the forester sees anyone else assault a deer, they'll showtime fighting the person. Sometimes, the foresters' patrol areas overlap, and you may come upon a scene like this...
  • Even better, if you lot're playing as a lawful graphic symbol, when the forester manages to kill the other forester, he tin plough to you and say "It's nice to run across a friendly face in these dark times."
• Yous finally get the hazard to make the arrogant Yellow Team Champion in the Loonshit eat her words belatedly in the questline. Even so, it'southward a three-confronting-i match. The Arena Blademaster decides to even the odds a little in your favor, though, by sending a boar named Porkchop upward to have your back!
  • It'south fifty-fifty more hilarious if the Yellow Team Champion dies because the pig kills her.
• During one quest for the Fighter's Society, yous meet Lord Rugdumph gro-Shurgak, an Orsimer nobleman whose girl has been kidnapped past ogres. Rugdumph tries to audio educated using big, complex words. He needs some do (or a dictionary).

  I am Lord Rugdumph gro-Shurgak. How may I persist you?

  Horrible creatures! Replete with horror and evil. They roam freely eastward of the manor. I look frontwards to you exterminizing them.

• When yous inquire Modryn to be second-in-command, he says "I was just getting used to being retired. You can see how good my painting is getting." In the dorsum of his house you can see an instance of one of his paintings ◊.
• In the Shivering Isles, if you kill people in the master urban center, they get their own unique grave in the graveyard. Almost all of said graves have hilariously snarky comments.
• The Argonian of Ni!
• Glitches in video games take jumped the shark.
• To kicking off the Knights of the 9 questline after finding the Anvil Chapel massacred, you have to get help from the Mad Prophet outside to figure out where the first piece of the Crusader Armor is. However, the chat forces you to invoke Humble Hero. Responding to his question of if you are a worthy knight with "Yes, I am a worthy knight/Fighters Guildmaster/Archmage/Hero of Kvatch/etc." causes him to remark that you must not demand his help then, you take to tell him that you lot accept no merits to fame. Or y'all can tell him that you're the Gray Flim-flam or the Listener of the Night Brotherhood, to which he will respond with bemusement, and then help you anyhow.
• Guard programming allows them to pursue you through multiple areas if they grab you committing a law-breaking, just similar a existent one would. That's all well and good, only due to the way information technology's implemented, yous can sometimes stop upward existence pursued relentlessly by a hyper-determined guard, who will literally follow you lot across the entire game map in a drastic chase to bring you to justice, no matter how modest your criminal offence is. Further, this can lead to them finally catching upward to you at the worst/best times imaginable; Merhunes Dagon may be demolishing the capital urban center, merely the guard is going to take that flower stealing motherfucker down!
  • Also, think how nearly guards seem to be pissing themselves in fear whenever they talk about those dreaded Oblivion Gates ? Which can be seen as the reason why nobody else in Cyrodiil can be bothered to help you close them ? Well, looks like stealing an apple is all it takes for those aforementioned guards to find the motivation to hunt you through ane of said Gates. Now that'due south dedication !
• The suicidal troll Easter Egg, in a Black One-act way. Basically a troll gets suicidal considering how bad he is at making people pay a toll to cross the bridge he lives nether, and so he, in his ain words, "get drunk and kill self". Even more darkly hilarious, judging by the state of his torso when you find him, he apparently somehow killed himself past jumping off a bridge that'southward barely 2 or 3 anxiety above the water.
• A quest in the Shivering Isles involves an orc who's afraid of cats and is tormented by how some creepy Khajit is following him around despite the dogs he got to scare the guy off. He asks you to get rid of him and when confront the Khajit you acquire he's following the orc because he likes dogs and wants to pet the orc's puppies.
  • And than afterwards the orc rewards you lot by giving you one of his dogs. Specifically, his dead one, revived as a skinless Animal Abomination through necromancy.
  • And if you're a Khajiit yourself, yous can't even practice the quest, because the orc will just send his dogs afterwards yous the moment you try speaking to him.
• One sneaky leveling trick is to find the Shrine of Peryite but non practise his quest. When you find it, his followers are all standing around frozen in place, their souls having been trapped in Oblivion. However, they are even so counted as active NPCs, but don't take health harm. This makes them perfect preparation dummies that you can shoot full of arrows, set up on fire and hack at with a sword all day long until you've maxed out your skills.
• On the meta level, Patrick Stewart was evidently given a xc-page certificate about the backstory of his character, and so he'd be prepared to voice human action them. While Bethesda were worried they'd gone overboard, Stewart was glad to be so prepared for a role. He voices Uriel Septim, who dies in the tutorial.
• In the "Regal Corruption" sidequest, you must inquire guard captain Itius Hayn to investigate corruption accusations against fellow guard captain Audens Avidius. Itius only accepts if the player raises his disposition to 70 which, at depression Speechcraft level, is incommunicable when only performing the speechcraft minigame. ^note this quest is available correct at the start of the game, unless your class has Speechcraft amongst its favored skills, you lot're unlikely to accept a loftier enough Speechcraft level To reach a disposition of lxx, y'all have to give bribes to Itius. In other words: you can (or must, depending when yous attempt to do the quest and your stats at the fourth dimension) bribe a baby-sit captain to convince him to investigate corruption accusations against a colleague!
• As we see in this game, sometimes the AI get a bit bugged and they start to fight each other. Not even the couples are prophylactic of this.
