In today's video, we discuss the quest titled, Corruption and Conscience in the game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. 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.

@SqualidsargeStudios 5 месяцев назад

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

@DancingCrickets04 5 месяцев назад

@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.

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...

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. 😅
