Author Topic: What Did Your Oblivion Character Do to Land Himself in Prison? (Read 2631 times)

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion starts your chraracter in a prison.
You're not told why you're here, and the only word the Emporer gives is the quite cryptic message "Perhaps the Gods have placed you here so that we may meet. As for what you have done, it does not matter; that is not what you will be remembered for."

So... What did your character do?

It makes perfect sense that my character was caught having an affair with the daughter of one of the Nine Divines in the Countess of Leyawiin's private quarters.

Take the bust that is part of the thieves guild quest line.

My first character, the record I had? It made sense to me he was tossed in for murder, murder, arson, vandalism, murder, theft, murder... And trespassing.

~~In that order?~~
Oh, I get it now.

24 counts of "self defense" arson, theft, and assault.

Jaywalking. I got off lightly, though. Last time someone jaywalked, a guard ran him through.

Man 2 · September 13, 2011, 10:13:05 PM

But wait, how does one jaywalk where cars are absent?

Wynd_Fox · September 13, 2011, 10:14:13 PM

Hm... I dunno, I guess the guard just likes arresting people.

I also possessed many counts of "self defense with a dangerous, city-killing spell"

Every guard worth his silver arrows tells the civilians about the statistics. People get hit by horse-drawn wagons more often than one would think, mainly due to jaywalking on the cobblestone streets.

But there are no horse-drawn wagons.
There are horses, but no sentient creature would plow through a person it can see as though it's not even there.

What if all the horses are secretly half-handicapped?
