Oblivion story

[Sniper82]

I have a saved game thats early in the game. I haven't played in a long while and sorta forgot what happened at the beginning of the game. Could someone give me a quick rundown on the story up to the part where you go outside? I know it only takes around a hour to do the part to get there but I don't want to start from the beginning. Thx

You are a prisoner. No one knows how you got down there.

And uhh...Uriel Septim dies.

You are trapped in a tutorial level, and the only way out is to learn the user interface.

And uhh...Uriel Septim dies.

You were in jail for stealing someone's pig out in Anvil.

Little did you know that for all of those years, you could have escaped by pressing a protruding stone in the wall and activating the emperor's super secret escape tunnel route (constructed by the prisoner from Top Secret when the Nazi's held him in the Imperial City Prison during WW2). You finally come to realize that some dumbass guard had placed you in that particular cell with the tunnel entrance when the emperor has to make use of this tunnel to escape from his wife who discovered that he had been cheating on her with one of the court's bards.

Rather than killing you, the emperor's party makes their escape through your cell's tunnel and into the sewers below the city.

There, they are attacked by cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers disguised as cult members in red suits.

The emperor is slain, but the emperor's dying wish was that you take his pimp cup to his old homie who runs a monastery that is a front for an illegal gambling and prostitution operation.

The emperor's homie then tells you of a child that the milk maid had years ago that could be the next in line for being emperor. From there you rush to find him to give him the good news (and a pardon if he becomes king, stealing a pig is a nasty crime in this game) when you discover that a D&D player has opened a portal to hell in his hometown by mistake.

After closing the portal to hell, you bring the illegitimate child back to the emperor's homie only to find that Tony Soprano has burned down his monastery because the emperor was no longer around to shield him and he refused to pay Tony protection money. Tony takes the pimp cup as payment back to Satriale's new mountain franchise.

That is the summary of the beginning of the game, at this point you have to go into the mountains to find the new franchise of Satriale's Pork Store and recover the pimp cup if the illegitimate child has any hope of winning the hearts of the people (and thus granting your pardon for stealing the pig).

I will not give you any more spoilers.

Ok so Uriel Septim dies. What is going on exactly and what am I suppose to be doing? Did he have a heart attack? It's been several months since I last played and I have a poor memory. Been waiting on a system upgrade.

The only part I did remember was him dieing.

Uriel Septim died when he tripped and fell down the dungeon. The voice acting of Patrick Stewart as he fell was nothing short of award worthy. It went something like this,"Oh look a banana peel... whoops... help... ouch...ouch...ouch...ouch...ouch...ouch...ouch.... aaaaaaaaaahhhhh hisssssssssssssssssssssss aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hisssssssssssssssssssssssssss aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hissssssssssssssssssssssss ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hissssssssssssss...BLEH"

I sent it via PM so as to not spoil anything important for those of us who may not have actually played Oblivion yet. I'm sure there's a couple people.

GTA meets Oblivion ... with guns and cars ... and magic, of course

i kinda like it ... let's write the story details and make an expansion ...
... or did they already do this?


if you want to read the "setting" for Oblivion ... the "story of 'You', the Hero of Cyrodiil", make sure you read the 200-page 5 volume in-game novel, the Real Berezeniah
--pretty good fantasy fiction writing
