Sure thing, here’s my take on it:
—
Alright, let’s dive into this wild ride called Oblivion Remastered. You know, it’s those guilds that really stand out—four of them to be precise. Each packed with quests that pull you in like a kid with a candy jar, and oh boy, do they have stories that stick. The Mages Guild seems to be everyone’s darling in Oblivion Remastered, probably because, well, magic. But hey, don’t sleep on the Thieves Guild! They’ve got this ridiculously touching storyline. Plus, the heist? Chef’s kiss. And the loot you get? Totally worth it.
So, picture this: you’ve been hustling your way through the Thieves Guild quests and suddenly—you hit “Misdirection.” This one’s pretty late in the game, and it throws you a curveball if you’ve already climbed the ranks in the Mages Guild. Kudos, Elder Scrolls 6, this kind of cross-guild shenanigans is what we’re craving. Sure, Skyrim tried some guild overlap, but Oblivion Remastered? Takes it to a cooler place.
Oh, but here’s the kicker—and maybe I’m jumping around here—but in “Misdirection,” if you’re the Archmage and also dabbling with the Thieves Guild, you end up “stealing” from yourself. Like, what? The mission demands you sneak into the Archmage’s crib at the Arcane U and snag Hrormir’s Ice Staff. Easy peasy if you’re the big boss, right? Just waltz in and grab it. Leave a note for the fun of it. Other players, though, gotta sneak around mages like a clumsy cat on a glass table.
Now, this part cracks me up: the Thieves Guild never clues in that you’re already wearing the Archmage hat. It’s like they’re all in the same universe but not really? Makes no sense, and yet it’s brilliant. Goes to show how much more hilarious and alive the game could be if such interactions were common.
To sum it up—well, not really summing anything up—I think if O6 (that’s what I’m calling The Elder Scrolls 6 now) could add these playful acknowledgments within quests, it’d feel like yes, your actions actually matter and the world’s morphing around you for it. Throw in stuff like that unofficial patch, which adds a nod to the irony of the whole thing, and we’d be all talking about it at game nights.
Yep, that’s a messy take, but hey, games are messy too, right? Right.
