The Spookiest Quests In Oblivion 

"Now if you'll excuse me I got things to do." _angrily vibrates inside a table_

When the Adoring fan ran at me In a T pose clipping through the floor I realise that oblivion was purtty spoopy

To me the scariest quest in Oblivion always was Seeking Your Roots. Being forced to wander aimlessly forever in the search of hard to spot, never regrowing plants. The horror! The horror!

When I was first playing this, nothing was scarier than actually going in to Oblivion gates. Bethesda did a good job making the plane of Oblivion feel like a place you want to get out of asap

Hackdirt is the spoopiest to me. In the tunnels, if you go to the deepest parts of the water and listen, you can hear whispers. Perhaps their "gods" are more real than we know... That's Spoop Central right there.

One of the creepiest things to happen to me in Oblivion happened in one of the Oblivion gates. I had been returning to the city with a book for an NPC to complete one of the main questline stories when I noticed a gate and couldn't resist going in to clear it out. About 3/4's of the way through I happened to notice something on the radar map, behind me and back the way I had come. Even more strange, it had a friendly npc indicator and was moving through the hallways heading right toward me. I armored and healed myself and got all my spells ready, not knowing what was about to come through the door. It was the guy who sent me on the quest to get the book. He got tired of waiting for me and went out looking for me, even to the point of following me into an Oblivion portal. He even had the nerve to say to me "You're a difficult man to find!" I was like, "Dude..."

“At least I can sleep soundly now...” * Lucien pops in * *“WHAT THE-“*

the "WHAT THE" when lachance appeared made me laugh so hard

The most terrifying experience I had in an elder scrolls game by accident. I managed to bust into the Lighthouse cellar without any idea of the questline and stumbled into the bloody abattoir. I already seriously creeped out while I was looking around, when suddenly the Lighthouse Keeper appears behind me asking what I'm doing here. I actually screamed out loud, blast him with lightning and ran out as fast as I could.

Interesting thing about the quest in Hackdirt, if you listen carefully you can hear ominous sounds from unknown creatures in the distance, unique only to that dungeon.

Oh my God, I just realized that they gave everyone in Hackdirt the "Innsmouth Look" (rounded face, sloping forehead, bulging eyes, basically as fishlike as a human face can be). That's a fabulous little detail.

Anyone else who felt really sad when Lucien Lachance was killed by mistake because they thought he was the spy? 😞

Ever notice how when you "wake up" from the nightmare quest, your character is still ass naked? ...Even though you definitely got into that bed with clothes on? Might wanna have a few words with that guild leader, there.

I miss the variety of ghosts,wraiths, zombies and Lichs in Oblivion. Skyrim has just draugers and dragon priests but no really scary enemies

I legit cried when they killed Lucien. I got so attached to him, he was like a friend. Poor guy :"(

Another thing that I like about Oblivion than Skyrim is how subtle the quest flow and triggered. Not everything have to be present in front of you on the get go. Feels more natural and immersive that way.

I can't remember what questiline this is from, but I was pretty spooked when you find out that vampires literally live underneath the Arena Bloodworks to feast on the blood of the gladiators that wash their wounds after battle. The best thing about it was how no one ever mentions this to you directly but you just find it along the way, so it's good 'show, don't tell' storytelling.

i think the scariest quest would be the one for the mages guild where you return to the bruma hall and necromancers kill them all and jaskar had to watch in his invisibility spell just seeing his hall and everyone burn... horrific .

You know I really liked this video, however as far as I'm concerned the entirety of Oblivion has this kind of creepy atmosphere. I mean think about it, this is a world filed with monsters, vampires, Daedra and mudcrabs more fearsome than I and yet everyone, everyone is so nonchalant about it. The Emperor is dead, murdered by a Daedric cult, Goblins and Vampires live in the Imperial City sewers, Mages Guild members are summoning Daedra all willy-nilly, all kinds of creatures are roaming the wilds, waters are infested by slaughterfish, The Dark Brotherhood is watching your every move and let's not forget that up until yesterday necromancy was perfectly legal. And yet in spite all of this people of Cyrodiil are all happy go lucky, hustling and bustling in the Imperial City, building settlements in the middle of nowhere and generally not giving a f**k about anything really.

Ayleid ruins have always freaked me out. all of them

Interesting to note (haha, "note") is that the dead drops in the Dark Brotherhood (obvious spoilers incoming) change font once it's no longer Lucian Lachance writing them. I never noticed until subsequent playthroughs. Always thought that was a nice touch. That they bothered having another font for stuff like that.

I played Skyrim before Oblivion. And I did do the Dark brotherhood questline in Skyrim, and it was all good. When I started in Oblivion I loved the idea of the arena, so I became the champion first thing, of course! And I had the Adoring fan following me everywhere, but then it struck me. I remembered Cicero's diary, and I looked at the Adoring fan just smiling at me while I was recalling what it said. Dat was my biggest spook

Well if there was one thing that scared me shitless in this game i would definitely say it were the zombies. The noises they made, their walking animation and their decayed bodies scared the crap out of me when i played oblivion the first time as a 12 year old kid.

I killed everyone in hackdirt on principle

Im proud that even though oblivion was released like 12 years ago there still players thay makes the game still alive...im so proud right now

Never noticed Oblivion's Argonians were apparently voiced by Patty & Selma.

The scariest thing for me was that i once had a playthrough of oblivion without bugs or glitches. But maybe the absence of bugs was just a bug.

the quest where you get a crystal ball for a lady from a haunted ship is really scary in my opinion, the same with the one where you have to go to the wrecked ship and free a ghost from a skeleton in handcuffs (or something like that) and the wraiths that attack you then are really creepy

I think it was the Sancre Tor ruins that creeped me out the most.

The character creatin was pretty spooky for me.

I remember when I first bought the Manor in Anvil I legitimately believed I'd gotten a great deal and was excited to fix the place up with furniture like you can do with the other houses in the game. I went to sleep in that house and when the ghosts showed up I completely shit myself, I paused the game and had to psych myself up in order to finish the quest. I was 11 at the time, and Oblivion's ghosts were so scary to me. Another scary one is the ghost ship in Anvil, because again, I thought ghosts/wraiths were so scary.

You forgot the mission in the imperial city where you join to a group who fight against vampires just to find out at the end that the leader was a vampire the whole time... That one was creepy for me

When Lucian wakes you up. I didnt know DB even existed and I didnt even know what triggered the questline.

"But there isn't a quest for that, so not my problem." Ah, spoken like a true hero :P

For me, many of the dungeons in Morrowind were far scarier than the scariest ones in both Oblivion and Skyrim. Especially the dwarven ruins. Especially the dwarven ruins with the sixth house in them. They were straight up horror at times.

BTW the hackdirt mission is based on the shadow over innsmouth

I remember the first time I did Where Spirits have Lease. I refused to go back into the house and finish the quest for about a week. I ended up asking my brother to do it for me.

The house in Anvil scared the crap out of me. When I played Oblivion for the first time, I didn't really do any research apart from where to sell stuff and where to buy lockpicks. Anyway, I thought after I bought it I just needed to buy upgrades and I didn't really read the title of the quest. Still a brilliant house though and I love the fact that you have your own secret necromancer lair type thingie in the basement XD

When I first played Oblivion, my scariest moment was the Oblivion Gates. Didn't knew where they came from or what was inside. Gave me the creeps

"Making me do all this hard work." *uses console command*

I remember nearly crapping myself when I heard the noise the King of Miscarcand makes after you take the stone from the pedestal

"...Now if you excuse me i have things to do..." 7:20 LMAO 😂

If anything in oblivion freaks me out it's the zombies. I shiver. I loved Lucien so when he was... in applewatch... I cried. Super macho tears.

The kajit in oblivion can be freaky and the necks of argonians

The Deepscorn Hollow dlc is pretty freaky. The lair comes equipped with a Minion who will murder ppl for you and a prisoner which can be used for feeding if you're a vampire. There is also an altar to Sithis in the lair that is very elaborate and spoopy

“Thank you kind sir”

Took longer than I expected but it is finally up!

That Dark Brotherhood quest... I was shocked as hell when I found poor Lucien dead. He was my favorite character. Loved the entire Dark Brotherhood questline. The one in Skyrim was so disappointing.

lucien lachance causes a bug in my brain. i like the dark brotherhood quest, but i hate the dark brotherhood as a character. i hate lucien lachance deeds and the fanatism crazyness for sithis. but i was completely enraged to see what the other members of the brotherhood had done with him. matheu belatore is kinda the good guy in a creepy way, and is trying to destroy the evil in his vengeance... but ia hate him a lot, and even so i agree with his motives. that is the kind of mix and twisted feelings oblivion can give you, that skyrim cannot. (sorry for my bad english)

The Shivering Ilse's Expansion. Those Flesh Atronachs gave me serious Hellraiser vibes.

Glarthir's quest was spooky as hell.

You're gaining subscribers like crazy. Glad to see because your videos are very well made.

I still have Mother's Head in my dresser in the game

"At least i can sleep soundly now." lucien: OH HELLO THERE The king (the cantina): WHAT THE

The most spooky thing for me in Oblivion was a grass. It always caught me off guard

I thought the forlorn watchman quest was pretty creepy because you get to go to an abandoned ship that got wrecked and it is filled with ghosts

I love the Hackdirt quest it is such a good homage to The Dunwich Horror even down to the characters chinless appearance.

I wish that Skyrim was as gorey as Oblivion was. Although they probably wouldn't be able to get away with it because of the graphics quality of Skyrim....

Just wanted to say that your humor is spot on! Keep up the good work!

Yes, when I wake up to Lucien's voice but I can't see him. Then he slowly rises out of my bed. Then he disappears. Then he fades through the door to the room.

The scariest thing is being in a shop with the npcs creepy smile following you everywhere and looking at you with they're heads turning 180

I love your Elder scrolls top 10s, keep it up :)

"all right, that's it! you've gone and annoyed me, now! Have at thee!" "OW!"

I love this channel, and your content! Honestly, after watching all your videos, it got me in the mood to play oblivion so i've been doing that again lately. I forgot how good the game is, but also the difficulty curve from skyrim. In skyrim, sneaky archers are really overpowered but in oblivion you get killed so easily....

"Have at thee!" ... *o o f*

I am so glade this channel exist the only do I get awesome Oblivion content I also get a good laugh it's like the perfect Duo

When I was a kid and did the dark brotherhood quest line, I had a night mare my character came to murder me in real life. What is worse is he actually spoke to me in true oblivion fashion with hissing argonian voice, awkward dialogue and I could not look away. He found out every he needed to kill me

I’m glad Vaermina’s quest was on this list, one of my fave yet scariest quests: I remember being on edge the whole time I was descending through Arkved’s tower because it was so dimly lit and otherworldly, especially the void area, so I didn’t know what to expect, I’d thought maybe the wizard wasn’t even truly asleep, maybe it was a trick. In the final room I encountered a messed up bug where when I took the orb and left the tower out the trap door and went back in to see if I missed any loot, Arkved wasn’t sleeping but now STANDING. I nearly crapped myself and prepared for a battle but it turned out he was still unconscious. I think they had that bug put in on purpose or something, completely caught me off guard. I otherwise agree with the top 5 choices, the Bellamont one was creepy but I liked the Friday the 13th reference with the mother’s severed head.

Love the H.P. Lovecraft quest

feels like this video was posted yesterday, perfect time to watch it. haha

7:46 He's got the Innsmouth look

Im pretty easily scared by games, Oblivion dungeons always filled my soul with fear and horror... Im sure im not the only one, the atmoshpere and the undeads were awesome and creepy. Gosh i miss this game.

Man I remember watching your videos when u only had 400 subscribers lol. I can't wait to see the day u have a million ☺

i love your elder scrolls humor. im on a roll right now with watching your videos

Great channel, deserving of even more subs!

Dude, you're great! Keep up the good work. Been enjoying your vids.

There's something so soft and friendly in this guy's voice. Subscribed.

Oblivion has its perfectly innocent spookiness. The whole game just feels like ice cream 💖🙏

The comedy is great on this channel. Thank you for your sarcasm and jokes.

"Atleast I can sleep soundly now." **Dark Brotherhood Member Appears** "What the f-"

Spooky but goddamn, these are some of my all time favorite quests in RPGs.

Perfect video for this morning thanks dude

I love your videos man. Been a sub since before 1k. Keep it up dude I love to see your channel is steadily growing

Do you remember the Vampire hunter quest in Bruma? "A Brotherhood Betrayed"? That horrible Raynil Dralas jumpscare in the Boreal Stone Cave is haunting my dreams

First of all, my mother doesn't have a basement! And secondly, im trying!

2:03 "or have we ?" ... wow that would have been so amazing, Imagine trying to leave the city and then finding out you are still in the dream. Also: the house quest is one that I recommend copying (loosely) for DnD campaigns. Give your players a place to stay and a kind of reward that doesnt just make them better at killing things

The spookiest thing that I ever experienced wasn’t even a quest, but a glitch. I walked into one of the inns in Skingrad but whenever I walked in, the music stopped and I couldn’t talk to a single person. Everyone got up from their chairs and seats and started staring at me with the faces NPCs make whenever they are in combat. It’s probably not the scariest thing in the world, but at 3 am in a dark room? Yeah it kind of freaked me out.

“Oh my word, I’m NEked” haha first video I saw and am now in love with this channel haha

I could hear you say the word 'spooky' all day 😂👏

I agree. Oblivion gives me goosebumps. Just listen to the soundtrack.

I still vividly remember when around the first time I played the game, I was 7 or 8, and what freaked me the hell out first, in the first dungeon under the prison, were the rats. Just that they were so huge, the way that they ran floatily towards you and then the jumping at your face with the high pitched noise - everything about it really freaked me out as a bab. It still is a bit unnerving to me for some reason.

The haunted manor gave me my first encounter with a ghost. I was so terrified by how many of them there were, I ran out of the house and never did the quest again.

that list was fcking amazing and way funnier than I expected :D you deserve more likes for that "get a black soulgem by cheating"-joke already, because getting these things really was a pain in the ass XD

Winned a new sub for uploading oblivion

Omfg Lucan lachance coming in after the completion of the manor at anvil quest had me in tears!!!!!!!!!!

7:23 "Now if you excuse me if have things to do" *Stuck in a counter". I hear you my man >_>

Another great video love your videos

Been going through this game again. Sure love it

You've done well here. The "I can get some sleep now" interrupted by luchene lachabce

The Molag Bal quest would probably make the Skyrim Top 5, hint hint at the next video lol...
