A Bard's Ballad

Ай бұрын

In today's video, we're going to begin and discuss the quest line and story tied to the thieves build in the elder scrolls 4 oblivion. We begin by being notified about their secret meetings at the garden of Dareloth in the imperial city waterfront. From here, we embark on a race to see who can steal Amantius Allectus' Dairy from his home. Should we succeed, we're invited to join the faction. From here, we must do some independent thievery and fence off stolen goods to Ongar in Bruma. Once we've sold enough items, we're given the task of retrieving taxes and documents from the imperial city watch and Heironymus Lex. After this, we're tasked with stealing the bust of the late countess of Cheydinhal, Llathasa Indarys. Returning with it, we learn that Arman Christophe has been set up and that Myvryna Arano is an informant. We frame her and get promoted from within the guild. Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe!

​@@jacksmythe2187The early Thieves guild in Skyrim can be absolutely hilarious if you keep failing yet for some reason still get more and more increasingly taxing quests. In Morrowind that wouldn't fly with them. It's a massive downside of having factions follow a linear path for a meager story. Something Morrowind didn't.

Since we’re on the topic of thievery, a great video to do would be on the pirate-related quests and features in Oblivion. There’s a surprising amount of them, like An Unexpected Voyage, the Forlorn Watchman and Dunbarrow Cove. They’re brief but have some very fun stories

Man, the Thieves' Guild is probably my favorite questline in Oblivion (closely followed by the Dark Brotherhood, the Shivering Isles, and the Mages' Guild, in that order). Stealthy, thief-type characters are my favorite playstyle in Elder Scrolls games, so naturally it's a perfect fit. I especially like the how they have Robin Hood vibes in Oblivion, the whole "stealing from the rich and giving to the poor" angle. And their "no killing" rule makes them even more likeable, IMO. Really excited for this series :D

I never really liked that getting arrested is what gets you noticed by the guild. Even it was for murder. Something they frown upon. It really should be from well you know stealing successfully. It would make far more sense proving your skills to get noticed than for failure. Honestly I don't care for the Robin Hood approach of the guild either. Think about it we spend far more time helping the poor than actual theft. Also bring told to find the garden of zaloeth or whatever makes no sense. It doesn't exist until the end of the questline. So way to give that one away. I do like having to seek out the guild and having to complete a ludicrously easy test.

@@ABardsBallad In Skyrim you just walk by and you somehow impressed the guy. Even if you fail he still recruits you. Hell you can keep failing yet for whatever reason you keep getting recommended for more taxing jobs. Then the story forgets you're a theif and of course has an action climax because why have different factions do anything different from one another?

Thief: This may be a bit too noble for a theif, but I wish to steal the taxes the poorest citezenry paid; that I may return it to them. I'm sorry Hillod empty-handed that the guards beat you for the 'crime' of being broke. The Aedra: You are no longer worthy in our eyes. We only require a noble hero. Me: ok????
