You can side with the Mythic Dawn, but it will permanently halt progress in the storyline. Just go through with the ritual and don't try to stop Mankar Camoran.
>Side with Mythic Dawn>Kill MartinWhat would you do next apart from fight off every blade and soldier in the game?
I should also mention that there is a PC mod called "Servant of the Dawn" where you can side with the Mythic dawn and in the end become emperor.
yeahI always wanted to try that out but never did.
skill still helped you in oblivion..i think
no i didn't....oh wait
Oblivion's lockpicking system pissed me off. It's nice to know that you can pick any difficulty lock without "HURR DURR THIS LOCK IS SOMEHOW TO ADVANCED FOR YOU AND YOU CAN'T EVEN GIVE IT A SHOT DESPITE IT BEING THE SAME AS ALL THE OTHERS DURR HURR"
You mean Morrowind?
