Oblivion Wait a Minute Let Me Do That One Again

• An infamous line in the game didn't edit out a bad take properly, leading to you hearing the vocalisation actor say "Wait, lemme try that over again" and and so repeat the line. Yes, really.
  • And even funnier, this mistake was fabricated by the Chief Trainer for Speechcraft!
• Sheogorath's quest where flaming dogs autumn from the sky.
  • It's even funnier if you do information technology during the later half of the Shivering Isles story; Sheogorath or Haskill will lampshade how you're screwing around like this when Jyygalag and his regular army are on your doorstep in the Isles.
  • On the other paw if you exercise it later on the Shivering Isles story, Haskill volition make weary comments almost how you're basically just worshiping yourself like a jackass.
• During the Thieves' Guild quest "Misdirection", all the guards will run around the Waterfront, asking almost the Gray Fox. Sometimes they'll even interrogate each other... and if you're standing nearby, they will look at yous and simultaneously ask y'all the same question. Even better when they have the same voice.
• In Leyawiin, the Argonian hunter Weebam-Na is obsessed with the town's rampant rat trouble which originated from a failed restaurant serving all sorts of rat dishes. 1 of said dishes was the delectable "Rat Ragu [sic] with Powdered Deer Penis!"
  • You just know someone wanted to run wild with that "penis" line...
• In Sanguine's shrine quest, he tells yous to bandage 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 caster (you are completely stripped of all your items when y'all use it). Using it is as well considered assault considering it has a "Bleed Wellness 1" outcome, so the guards will immediately endeavor to abort you. So if you don't want to go to prison, (since the spell too removes all your gold and so you can't pay the fine,) you're forced to run out of the city butt naked with a bunch of aroused guards chasing after y'all.
• The random chat system in Oblivion can upshot in a lot of hilarity when certain lines are combined.

  Citizen ane: "Exercise you lot think what happened to Kvatch would happen here?"
  Citizen two: "Without a question." ^note 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 have a moment of your time? It's rather urgent."
    Scholar: "Good day."

  • Hither's a peculiarly entertaining conversation.
  • Something which must be experienced is when ii characters say the exact same thing, at the exact same time, in two different voices.
  • Characters forgetting their own proper name/rank:
• Sheogorath, at one betoken during the Shivering Isles expansion, says, "I'm and 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 supervene upon Syl:

  Sheogorath: A dangerous choice. I like it!

• "You lot accept pleased the Mad God! I, for one, would however like to swallow your eyes!"
  • Permit'southward non beat effectually the bush here, Sheogorath averages a bright and usually hilarious line every two minutes or so. At least until his final chat...
• During a sure Mages' Guild quest (Liberation or Apprehension), you meet a Wood Elf named Fithragaer within an Ayleid ruin (Nenyond Twyll). After a fiddling chat, he eagerly runs deeper into the ruins to beat up some necromancers... and gets caught in a ceiling fasten trap.
  • To top that, there's a glitch that'll cause the spike trap to keep activating as long as Fithragaer'south corpse is on it, meaning that the trap volition continuously pummel him into the ceiling!
• In Skingrad, inquire Falanu Hlaalu virtually the city. She'll ask you lot if you lot know what the fine for necrophilia is, and she'll be very happy if you give her the reply.

  Champion: Is it the first criminal offense?
  Falanu: Let'south assume... no.
  Champion: And then information technology's 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 as to why he/she was in jail in the start place...
• Ask Owyn nearly rumors. "I heard a rumor that you're an idiot. There whatever truth to that?"
• Aldos Othran'due south Cliff Racer song.
• The Doting Fan. Dive Rock. That is all.
  1. The simple method
  2. Pull a fast one on him into walking over it
• If Game Mods count, there'southward ane modern that overhauls the manner beggars work (so they can pickpocket you if yous stand up to close to them, you can contract diseases from them, et cetera) in improver to adding several new ones effectually the game. One of them, in Skingrad, is a skooma addict and has his ain lines. The only thing he'll ever say, no matter what you lot ask him, is "SKOOMA!". One of your dialogue options? "Aagh, get away from me, you freak!". To which he replies "SKOOMA!"
  • There'southward a woman in the Shivering Isles who'southward addicted to skooma, which she asks you for every time you lot talk to her. If you give her some, she shouts "Skooma! SKOOMA!"
    • However, if you lot don't requite her whatever, she'll exist greatly upset and tell y'all she "hopes you trip and fall on a sword!" ...And then give the player a casual "farewell."
• In the Shivering Isles expansion, y'all tin can see Hirrus Clutumnus, who tells you that he wants to stop his life. However, he tin't actually kill himself, otherwise his spirit volition terminate up trapped on the Hill of Suicides, so naturally he asks yous to do it. Fortunately, he happens to visit a balcony without railings, and you take the dialogue choice of pushing him off. The best part is the full not-reaction of the Nighttime Seducer who sees the whole matter happen. Patently, this sort of thing happens all the fourth dimension...
• 1 cave unrelated to any quests features a dead goblin and a large beer keg. The goblin is lying on its dorsum with its confront nether the spigot.
• One quest is given to y'all by a drunk who believes that there'southward someone in Cheydinhal that looks like him. He tells you, dead serious:

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

• Guards apparently accept the retention span of a goldfish.
  • The top comments read: "He didn't forget, information technology'due south only a very poor embrace-upwardly!" "The video is a metaphor for government."
• The Summon Haskill power from Shivering Isles. Haskill is Sheogorath'due south chamberlain and literally the Just Sane Man in the entire realm. If you haven't played the game, imagine yous have the ability to summon a stereotypical dry-witted British butler at volition to give y'all helpful but snarky advice on your quests.
• There'southward a dungeon in the Shivering Isles specifically designed to lure in adventurers and screw with them. The one that takes the cake is an illusion that makes an orc see his corpse laying on the floor and run across himself as a ghost. He has a debate with himself near how he tin't possibly be dead because he wasn't in a fight still there's his body and its so unfair.
• Imperial Legion Foresters are programmed to hunt deer. Deer are programmed to be friendly to foresters, then if the forester sees anyone else attack a deer, they'll offset fighting the person. Sometimes, the foresters' patrol areas overlap, and you may come upon a scene like this...
  • Even better, if you're playing every bit a lawful graphic symbol, when the forester manages to impale the other forester, he can turn to you lot and say "It's squeamish to see a friendly face up in these dark times."
• You finally get the chance to make the arrogant Yellow Team Champion in the Arena eat her words late in the questline. However, it'south a three-against-one match. The Loonshit Blademaster decides to fifty-fifty the odds a little in your favor, though, by sending a boar named Porkchop upwardly to have your dorsum!
  • It's even more than hilarious if the Yellowish Squad Champion dies because the squealer kills her.
• During 1 quest for the Fighter'due south Guild, y'all meet Lord Rugdumph gro-Shurgak, an Orsimer nobleman whose daughter has been kidnapped by ogres. Rugdumph tries to sound educated using big, complex words. He needs some practice (or a dictionary).

  I am Lord Rugdumph gro-Shurgak. How may I persist y'all?

  Horrible creatures! Replete with horror and evil. They roam freely due east of the estate. I look forward to y'all exterminizing them.

• When you ask Modryn to be second-in-command, he says "I was just getting used to existence retired. You tin can run into how good my painting is getting." In the back of his house you can see an example of one of his paintings ◊.
• In the Shivering Isles, if you kill people in the main metropolis, 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 have jumped the shark.
• To boot off the Knights of the 9 questline after finding the Anvil Chapel massacred, you lot take to get assist from the Mad Prophet outside to figure out where the get-go piece of the Crusader Armor is. However, the conversation forces you lot to invoke Apprehensive Hero. Responding to his question of if you are a worthy knight with "Yeah, I am a worthy knight/Fighters Guildmaster/Archmage/Hero of Kvatch/etc." causes him to remark that y'all must not demand his help then, you take to tell him that yous have no merits to fame. Or you tin can tell him that you're the Gray Play a joke on or the Listener of the Night Alliance, to which he will respond with bemusement, and then help you anyway.
• Guard programming allows them to pursue you through multiple areas if they catch you committing a crime, but like a real one would. That'due south all well and practiced, but due to the fashion it'due south implemented, you can sometimes end up existence pursued relentlessly by a hyper-determined guard, who will literally follow you across the unabridged game map in a desperate chase to bring y'all to justice, no matter how small your crime is. Further, this can lead to them finally catching upwardly to yous at the worst/all-time times imaginable; Merhunes Dagon may exist demolishing the capital city, but the guard is going to take that flower stealing motherfucker downwards!
  • Besides, recollect how most guards seem to exist pissing themselves in fear whenever they talk about those dreaded Oblivion Gates ? Which can be seen as the reason why nobody else in Cyrodiil tin can be bothered to help you close them ? Well, looks like stealing an apple tree is all information technology takes for those aforementioned guards to find the motivation to hunt you through 1 of said Gates. Now that'south dedication !
• The suicidal troll Easter Egg, in a Black Comedy way. Basically a troll gets suicidal because how bad he is at making people pay a toll to cross the bridge he lives nether, so he, in his own words, "become drunkard and impale self". Even more than darkly hilarious, judging by the state of his body when you observe him, he apparently somehow killed himself by jumping off a bridge that'south barely two or iii feet above the h2o.
• A quest in the Shivering Isles involves an orc who'due south afraid of cats and is tormented past how some creepy Khajit is following him around despite the dogs he got to scare the guy off. He asks you to go rid of him and when face the Khajit y'all learn he's following the orc because he likes dogs and wants to pet the orc's puppies.
  • And than subsequently the orc rewards you by giving y'all one of his dogs. Specifically, his dead one, revived as a skinless Animal Abomination through necromancy.
  • And if you're a Khajiit yourself, you can't even do the quest, because the orc volition just send his dogs later you the moment you lot try speaking to him.
• One sneaky leveling trick is to find the Shrine of Peryite but not do his quest. When yous find it, his followers are all standing around frozen in place, their souls having been trapped in Oblivion. Still, they are however counted as active NPCs, merely don't take wellness harm. This makes them perfect preparation dummies that you can shoot full of arrows, gear 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 apparently given a 90-folio document virtually the backstory of his character, and so he'd be prepared to phonation 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 "Majestic Abuse" sidequest, you lot must inquire baby-sit helm Itius Hayn to investigate corruption accusations confronting beau baby-sit helm Audens Avidius. Itius but accepts if the player raises his disposition to seventy which, at low Speechcraft level, is impossible when but performing the speechcraft minigame. ^note this quest is available right at the start of the game, unless your class has Speechcraft amongst its favored skills, y'all're unlikely to have a high enough Speechcraft level To reach a disposition of 70, you have to give bribes to Itius. In other words: you can (or must, depending when you attempt to do the quest and your stats at the time) ransom a guard captain to convince him to investigate corruption accusations confronting a colleague!
• Equally we see in this game, sometimes the AI get a scrap bugged and they start to fight each other. Not fifty-fifty the couples are safe of this.
