    That one time Bethesda wrote an interesting quest. (I’m sorry, Starfield has taken a toll on my mental wellbeing)

        Yes. I, for one, need to validate my hatered for a dev/publisher by not just claiming that a recent game was bad but by also posthumously digging up their entire catalogue and calling it trash as well.

      It’s funny cause for how well remembered this quest is, it’s one of the most bugged & easily broken quests in Oblivion. I recently played through and found that for some reason you can just straight up kill guests in front of the others and they react the same as if you were sneaking around

        It turns out Bethesda’s quest for making the least buggy game had nothing to do with making an interesting game. People are fine with dealing with bugs if you make something worth playing.

          Yeah I definitely agree, one of the more interesting things about Oblivion to me is that different writers wrote all of the different guilds. The dark brotherhood is basically the only quest line in the game that gives you different choices of dialogue. Every other quest in the game has only one response, which looking back is pretty laughable as an RPG.

          (Oblivion is one of my favorite nostalgia games and I listen to the soundtrack almost every day, it’s just fun to point out interesting things in it)

    Is that the quest, where a Deadric Prince gives you a spell without telling you what it does?

        Ah ok. Because of the dress rules in the title, I thought it was about that one countess’s party you have to crash.

          Hey, why not use the Stark Reality spell on the party goers from this quest, too? It is a fun spell, after all.

            I was thinking of the Daedric quest for Sanguine which has nothing to do with the Brotherhood. Sanguine sends you to a party and wants you to use a spell without telling you what to do.

            Tap for spoiler

            The spell removes the clothes of everyone in the room including you and you have to flee the place naked to get your gear back.
