Welcome Now to OBLIVION! An Elder Scrolls Let's Play.

Before I leave the court of Dementia, I decide to take a seat on the duchesses throne. The duchess soon shows up, though, and she just kind of stares at me until I get up.
It was really awkward.

Anyway, I should probably report back to Sheogorath. I hope he isn't angry that I took so long. I rather like my intestines.

Man, Sheogorath has the most awesome kind of crazy. He talks awesome, unlike that Duke of Mania, who sucked.

It's about ti-
...Wait, did you say "death"?


What? Oh, no, I'm not the "die trying" type. Whenever I end up in a bad situation that I can't punch my way out of, I usually just "run awaaaay"
Hell, it's practically a catchphrase by now.
However, he soon tells me that he wants me to become a deadric prince so I can replace him! Somehow, I didn't get a screenshot of him saying it, but he said it alright!
I ask him how it is possible for me to, you know, become a god

I'm going to have the power of a god?
That'll be another thing to scratch of the list of things to do before I die!

Oh boy, this is going to be awesome! But... why me?

A "nice enough sort"? I've murdered over 10 people since I got here! I've wiped out half the population of a town! I horribly scarred a hypothetical Grummite!
HOW AM I A NICE ENOUGH SORT?
Oh, well, I get the power of a god, I'm not complaining.

Don't worry, "BECOME A GOD" is motivation enough for me!
This is gonna be so awesome!
I ask him where he will be during the graymarch

I doubt I'm going to get much more explanation than this.

...Wait, you mean I have to do more chores for you before I become a god?
...Dammit...

WHY ARE ALL THESE NAMES SO STUPID

So, the place is basically a constant warzone despite both sides working for the same person?
Kind of sounds like TF2.


You're right! I've had the ability to summon a magic butler, and I've barely used the ability at all!
I should remedy this!
But not now. I don't feel like summoning him now.

Well, here's that fort he wanted me to go to...

...but I think I will stop by that cave and get the cure for that lady I tortured earlier.
Quests in the Shivering Isles generally have awesome rewards, I noticed.
As I leave the town, I notice a beggar with no pants.
I think the picture really speaks for itself.

Anyway, the cave entrance is, of course, guarded by Grummites.
I really don't like Grummites.

At least the cave looks slightly different from the rest.
The lighting seems kind of different, at least.

Also it is filled with Grummites.

Lots of Grummites.

A very lot of Grummites

OH GOD THERE ARE SO MANY GRUMMITES IT IS LIKE AN ARMY IS THIS ABOUT HOW CAN THIS MANY GRUMMITES POSSIBLY LIVE IN A SINGLE CAVE
AHHHHHH

Luckily, I manage to escape in a way that definitely does not involve taking advantage of a glitch that involves using a door and reloading a save.

Apparently, the cure is near that strange statue.

Wow, a Grummite mage. I haven't seen one of those in a while.
The room has several other Grummites, but I am able to take them out fairly easily one by one.
That is, until...

I am suddenly attacked by three Grummite Deathdealers (those are the big ones) at once.
SHIIIIIIIIIIT

Somehow, during the booty-kicking I endure while fighting the Grummites, I manage to get some of the cure in mid-battle.
I guess I'm just awesome like that.

It is a tough battle, but I barely manage to win.
Barely.

Although I have the cure, I decide to go deeper into the caves. I mean, I've come this far, I might as well.

Oh boy, a madness matrix.
Just what I needed.
WHY CAN'T I EVER FIND AN AMBER MATRIX?


I find some corpses on stone tables in the ruins.
I guess these people sacrificed themselves or something.
Weirdos.

Okay at this point I think the game is mocking me.

Anyway, I exit the cave to find two Grummite Deathdealers right in my face.
SHIIIIIIT

As if that weren't enough, I soon encounter an obelisk of order.
WHAT
FUN

I do manage to shut down the obelisk and kill the priest of order, though.
Look at this mess. I hope they don't expect me to clean this all up.

28 hearts of order? That will come in handy for overloading the obelisks!
Wait, I can take the robes of order? AWESOME

I LOOK SO BADASS IN THIS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
I'm definitely wearing it the very few times I care about fashion over function!

I decide to drink a bunch of feather potions so I can take all the order swords and sell them.

Thanks to the magic of fast travel, I am able to get back to town without the feather wearing off.
Also, I realize that, in my excitement in discovering that I could take those robes, I forgot to take the hearts of order.
SHIIIIIIIIT

I decide to stop in and have those madness boots made. I might as well.

Although the athletics bonus is not as high as the one on the daedric boots I currently have, the madness boots have a higher armor rating, so I decide to switch to them.

I don't look all that different.

Although I could sell all my armor and weapons at Cutter's (the place where I get the madness junk), I decide to stop by the local bookstore to sell all the books that have been piling up in my inventory for some reason.
I then decide to go to the general store to sell my potions, jewelry, and other stuff like that.

I want to point out two things about this picture.
1. Look at how freaking rich I am.
2. I am selling someone's bottled tears for profit.
That is all.

I give the sickly lady her cure. She gives me a magic ring in return.

I knew the reward would be awesome! This is a great ring!
Now that I have gotten that over with, it is time for me to head to that fort that Sheogorath wanted me to go to.

It looks like every other fort around here.
I enter.

One side is controlled by Golden Saints,

The other by Dark Seducers.
As Sheogorath said, these two sides are constantly fighting. I am probably going to have to join forces with one to wipe out the other. I've decided that I will let you decide!
Which side is it going to be? The Golden Saints, or the Dark Seducers?
