I recall that attacking a horse in Oblivion was mistakenly coded as "stealing," rather than its' own thing, so if you were caught attacking your own horse, it was counted as a crime against yourself and you would be kicked out of all your guilds for "stealing" from a fellow guild member.
I'll always remember this quest for one of the vocal bloopers from one of the female NPC voice actors in the unpatched game. Where there was a line left in where they comment about how different places were hit at the same night, but then mutters "oh wait, let me do that one again" then repeats the line.
Yeah I remember that too, I also remember there being a blooper voice line from one of the female NPC’s in the tiber septim hotel. She is like “wait let me do that one again” lmfao
I heard that thieves broke into the arcane universty, the imperial legion compound and the temple all on the same night. wait a minute, let me do that one again
This quest also presents a good opportunity to begin the Dark Brotherhood questline and assassinate the pirate captain in the Waterfront. When you enter the ship and kill the captain, the hostile pirates will be cut down by all of the guards around when you leave.
I remember that i once started the Mages Guild questline a bit late on my first time playing Oblivion (I had maxed out Armorer thanks to me grinding armor skills on the goblin caves) and when i got to that quest i had the bright idea to over-repair that staff and the game won't let me return it and my last savefile was like 1 hour before i started the quest. Good times.
Yeah it would've been so helpful if oblvion had it so that it saved everytime you entered, many times I would forget and either get killed by a stupid clannfear or remember to save while fighting

In a world where the emperor was slain by a group of devil worshippers, the barrier between the overworld and hell is paper thin and portals randomly open to spew out Dremora hell spawns, suddenly, in the dead of night, a random Daedra approaches a guard captain from behind and says: "Begone... mortal..."

As soon as this video started I thought: "is there some kind of bug that lets you pickpocket yourself?" But after I've heard *spoiler* guild and *spoiler* stuff it all clicked. I remember staring on Methredhel and saying "are you serious?.."
Hero of Kvatch: You do know im THE Arch mage. You want me to mess up my room? Methredhel: just steal a staff.....it be funny, heads will rolls!!!!! Hero: ...... who is watching me?
Love your dives like this, dude. A Thieves Guild or Mages guild marathon like you did with the Dark Brotherood (MASTERFUL, by the way!) And, curiosity: Have you ever considered doing something like this for the Skyrim questlines?
So the obvious reason the guild wants to nick all the stuff is to pressure the rich and the mages in the quarter to put pressure on the watch. From a pure common sense perspective, if the arch mage would join the guild, or more likely, someone attuned to magic joins and along the way happens to become the arch mage, the entire theft becomes unnecessary. Instead of "steal form the arch mage and leave this letter that puts the fault on the guard so that they do something about that" it would be "hey, you've recently became arch mage, right? Use that position to tell the guards they need to watch elsewhere, since your staff was stolen" followed by a wink.
I wish there was an option to tell the Gray Fox that we're the arch mage, the break in won't be necessary, we can just tell people it happened. That saves time and we continue on with the other parts of the heist.
It is much easier to steal the ice staff as the arch mage than before completing the questline. But I am sure it would be changed in the remaster/remake.
I love the videos that you made. I found you with the Dark Brotherhood video that you did. The quality of your work is outstanding, I love watching them. I have not played Oblivion for a bit, but thanks to your videos, I will have to get back to it and I am even more excited for Skyblivion.
Hey Dash, I have a request. Can you please do an Oblivion video about the side quest "Where spirits have lease"? I'd love to see a video covering it in your style. Thanks.
As an aside, arch, in this instance, is arc or ark - not like church or chicken. Its etymology is Greek in origin “from Latinized form of Greek arkh-, arkhi- "first, chief, primeval," combining form of arkhos "a chief, leader, commander,".
I absolutely adore these narrative Oblivion videos. Love the way you interpret the one-word dialogue options, you have a keen ability to make potato people seem realistic.
Ive done this quest both being in the mages guild and not being in it, I don't remember the patch though lol anyway love watching your Oblivion videos Dark Lore Dash even though I've done these quests a bunch of times lol would you be interested in doing a video on The Order Of Virtuous Blood? I adore that nice little quaint questline it was one of my first Oblivion quests I played as a kid it brings me joy like a vampire sucking sweet nectar from its victims neck! xD
The mages pretending nothing happened goes in two fold. It makes the mages guild look impervious, but at the same time, it also could be sending the message to the thieves guild directly. A sort of recognition of respect and boundary. Something of great value was stolen until what the thieves guild wanted was returned to normalcy. Then that something of great value was returned. Its hard to not acknowledge such an act, at least from the powers that pull the strings. Business is business, and the mages guild knows they werent the real target. Just the needed messenger for someone that both guilds hate.
The quest is to steal from the arch mage at the university. If you’ve already completed the mage’s guild quest line, you become the arch mage. So if you get this quest after doing that whole quest line, you are told to steal your own stuff.
I didn’t like the magic system on oblivion that much spells and spell creation were cool, but we only had limited Magica. They only went up to 200 and just a base character of a race is have a bonus but not anything that would make a big difference that’s why a lot of people resort to glitches, including myself.
You had to think outside the box making spells and include things like fortify Magicka and fortify intelligence, which could even be combined with attack spell effects to have an infinite castable spell as it just renews and insta recharges your magic infinitely. You needed to think of more than just fireball, to be a good mage. If you did to could make Dr. Manhattan
Yeah, I use that didn’t like the magic system to begin with. It’s too weak people should get more than just 200 points of magic. There are a lot of spills on that game that can’t be casted because of that take, for instance, the fingers of the mountain that spell cost like 700 Magica and even if your destruction is 100 that’s pretty much would it cost it’s crazy they probably expected you to wear full Magica gear but I’ve notice there’s a lot of bugs and glitches that didn’t get fixed that been on the game for years. I think Bethesda leaves those there deliberately and honestly I kind a like that because they’re not trying to dictate how people play games my opinion the only glitches that should be fixed are the ones that prevent progression into the game like quest bugs, or not being able to get a certain item

The funny thing is, this bug would only be uncovered by power gamers. If you tried a more immersive experience, you would likely only join one guild, progress slowly while you go through the main quest, then not join another guild. Bethesda games reward roleplaying with fewer glitches and bugs.
I don't care. stop playing Oblivion. get a new game. closing oblivion gates is boring. game is pure boring. Stop modding Oblivion into a slightly better version of Oblivion; there are ENTIRE better GAMES out there if you would just stop playing Oblivion. I don't know you and I don't care to know you
I never had the white adornment clad Mage ever attack me even in my beginning years of playing oblivion when I became the leader of every single guild. Maybe a high personality keeps this from happening?
