This quest sees the player overhearing from citizens around the city of Cheydinhal that the new captain of the city guard has been imposing unfair fines on them. This has even caused some of them to lose their houses due to not being able to pay the fines. The player then steps in to help the concerned citizens take care of Ulrich Leland. After events go sour, the player is left with a choice in which determines their characters morality within the lands of Cyrodiil. Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe!

The quests in Oblivion kinda feel like an episode of a tv show.
Doesn’t surprise me, since the incompetent lead “writer” has no imagination and probably committed plagiarism. And took too much from tv shows doing minor edits to fit the setting.
@@SqualidsargeStudios Emil wasn't the lead writer on oblivion.
The funny thing is that I would watch that. They made Fallout a show, and that worked out well enough, despite some lore-breaking implications.
Aldos Othran's death is what made the quest impactful when I first did it.
Fun fact: Other members of the Othran appear in the games, mostly as enemies. For Morrowind: One carries a key that can free slaves and two are Cammona Tong (hyper-xenophobic Dunmer group) members. In Oblivion, one is a necromancer serving the Worm Cult.
In ESO, they mostly lived as civilians in the town of Selfora in Deshaan.
That’s really cool actually, I didn’t know that!
The one honest member of a family and he gets put down by corrupt law enforcement... How sadly ironic.
Assult: 40 gold fine
Threatening a city guard: 50 gold fine
Aldos Othran murder: priceless
"Unnecessary bloodshed" 😂
😂 yeah the law is kind of weird in Cyrodiil
I mean that might not be that different from real life tbf. lol
Cheydenhal is one of my favorite cities in Oblivion. I love the architecture, and it's just so beautiful. Honestly, I think it, and Chorrol, are my favorite cities, with Anvil hitting my top three as well
I’d agree with you! I like cheydinhal, Chorrol, anvil and I really like Skingrad!
Honestly, all the cities are gorgeous, Oblivion is a truly stunning game
It is also my favourite. It's just so picturesque ❤

It's a blessing every time i see you in my timeline, both you and Dark LORE Dash are my „discovery“ for 2023 - never stop :)
this would have been such a good quest for the dark brotherhood i'd gladly send him to sithis myself
Garrus proves to be deserving of the position of captain. Even in clear view of the corruption he doesn't lose sight of the law and tries to find a way that is done proper.
Just what I needed to end my evening
I really appreciate the continued support! :) keep up your great content on your too! I don’t always comment on other videos but just know I’m watching them! :)
I was mad when he killed Aldos. His singing was spectacular!
One video ends and the countdown begins as I await the next one... super high quality content man, keep up the great work 🫡
Actually Allies for Bruma while he may be sent to aid the defense when the battle starts and the guards head out he will actually walk casually and return to his home city if he's still the Captain. I know this because I did the defense while not doing his related quest. When it started he walked from the main gate and casually walked away from the battle all the way back home. I'm guessing it's a scripting bug.
Or the man doesn't like to fight for others
Keep up the videos on oblivion I’m loving it bro great work mate 👍🏻
I forgot all about this quest. Nice video today.
Cheydinhal is my favourite city,think its cos also has a river going through it and theres more NPCs than say Skingrad in it, do though HATE how the guard standing outside Aldos's is still classed as essential even after the quest, great video to start the evening and relax
I love this video series, you give such an unique view into TES 4, I haven't seen in a long while. I'll be binging the rest of them today haha, I've seen a few already 🔥
I remember this quest. Was thinking that this might be another report, look for evidence, and done mission. Didn't expect the guy to die. I remember him as someone who sang cliff racer song beautifully
What surprises me about this side quest is that it takes place in same city that the Dark Brotherhood is headquartered! No one put out a contract on his head?
You think Ulric would have if he wasn't putting all that money towards his family.
@@MoonspiritX Ulrich sending the dark brotherhood after himself doesnt make any sense lol
@@MysteriousStoner Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant Ulrich putting a contract out on Aldos Othran.
@@MoonspiritXoh gotchu lol
@MoonspiritX Why would Ulrich do that? Aldos wasn't a threat to him. I get that he could've been a witness, but he was constantly drunk and it could've been argued that he was unreliable. Why go through the trouble of digging up a body, finding the other ingredients, performing the Black Sacrement, and then paying to kill Aldos when Ulrich could easily throw him in jail for free.
Also, I'm pretty sure the only person who knows that the Dark Brotherhood have a sanctuary in Cheydinnhal is the Count, though I guess the captain of the guard knowing isn't implausible.
I actually forgot there were choices. Oblivion you gem ❤
Nice call back to your ranking video. Certainly changes my opinion, with the suspicion of his wife's death.
Playlist might be a good idea
No disrespect to Skyrim because I feel it’s a better game in some aspects, but oblivion is by far my favorite in the series.
Agreed. There are some mechanics in Skyrim that Oblivion need, but overall Skyrim is okay at best, while Oblivion is ❤
@@burge117 to us. Be well.
What is the unique music in this video?
Personally, I like the eaten by rats option.
I just started playing Oblivion yet again the other week, on the ol' Steam Deck, and this quest just makes me go 'Heh, England' lol
There was a Dragon Break in this video...
Is it possible to steal the note before Aldos get's killed?
Don't think so, iirc the note only spawns once the other guard tells you to search Ulrich's room.
I found the first lady hilarious 😆 what I'm the oblivion lmao
now I am the first one
Cheers!
@@ABardsBallad Enjoy your videos man, am always glad to see you upload ❤️
"ill show you how us othrans do things" just walks up talks shit and gets one shot
You missed mentioning how when Ulrich is jailed, he will escape and enact revenge. i thought that would be brought up but nope.
He does? I don't remember that, but then, been a long time since i have done the quest.
Isn't that Audens Avidius thing? Ulrich doesn't do that.
@@multigamer856 i might be misremembering
I just want to mention Ulrich’s underling may follow the law but doesn’t care about its miscarriage. He’s aware that Othran was was charged exorbitant fines but instead of helping him, disparages him and only sends someone to him to get him to become a witness. Its a common theme in Oblivion guards though. 😅
Trying to take care of or help his family.. justified? I would've felt sorry for him if he weren't such a jerk and caused Aldos murder.
He definitely took it too far!
He wanted to build them a summer house, not make sure they were being fed and clothed. He could have easily supported them via his normal job, but he got greedy and wanted more. Also, sharing a summer home with your cousins, and the way he says "my love to both of you" reeks of something sinister...
@@IndyMiraaga hardly sinister. Relationships between cousins would be fairly regular for the times
@@toxicity791 Because they didn't know why their kids kept being born with genetic deformities... doesn't make it morally right with the context we have as players.
@@IndyMiraaga and therein is your mistake - you’re judging characters in a story from a different period by modern sentiments.
sounds to me those drunk and disorderly fines were well deserved.
Bad mobile title
