Post your most embarrassing, foolish, or just plain stupid moments you've commited in the world of Oblivion

mine was when I smacked the crap out of the surviver of the Bruma's Mages guild massacre(he startled me:mischief

I'm in Oblivion, running from daedra down by the shore of one of the lava seas. I notice that way out in the distance is an island. There's just GOT to be some big secret out there, I figure. I follow the shore to where a chain of islands stretches toward the horizon with BIG stretches of lava between. A combination of water walking and fire resistance scrolls & potions carries me further and further from the main island, exploring each smaller island as I go. By the last island I'm running low on potions and scrolls and I've eaten deeply into my strategic reserve of healing potions, but it's GOT to be worth it, right? Nope, completely empty. Oh yeah, that was a good idea...

It was early in the game and I was walking through the Imperial City Market district when a Mythic Dawn agent attacked me. I turned around to take a swing and accidently hit an imperial gaurd. Natuaraly, this got me in trouble, so i took care of the agent and the gaurd and attempted to get away. I couldnt get away and soon i was in a large brawl. Now, i began swinging randomly while headed for a gate. I managed to get away and i was proud of the destruction i had left behind while escaping alive. But this soon bit me in the butt. I had killed more than half the store owners of the market district and at least four people that were vital to different quests. The good news is that they were only side quests.

I accidentally ate a Stinkhorn Cap. Yuck.

Embarassment...

Eating poisonous plants...that's good.
I found a unicorn and decided to ride it to the nearest town. Little did I know that it was regarded as a wandering monster so the local gate sentries attacked it. The unicorn fought back and then attacked me! I was really confused, but I wanted it as my steed. It took me a few re-loads to figure out the reasons it does what it does. I eventually dropped the idea...but not the corpse loot.

i was playing my battle mage and had just made 5 pieces of Chameleon 20% so now im invisible, so i killed a guard captain for his armor and couldnt get it. so i shot and area speel at him and made him fly around for like 20 mins. then i accidently hit 2 other guards, the adamada phillidus came(and he cant be killed) so i knocked him out and shot him on the roof, he died when he walked off. then i came uninvisble so the guards were after me, one swung and i moved and he hit another, then i went back invisible, then all the guards and several villagers were all of a sudden fighting eachother, 5 guards and like 7(some store owners =( ) villigers died . . . it was hillarious,like a revolt.

this was imbarrassing cuz i kinda started it and every1 died =(
also i accident ate 20 nirnroots, for some reason i thot i was on deadra heart. i died . . . rather quicky actually.

mines was when i was just coming out a shop and someone ran up to me... they said come help kvatchi was sayin i done this i went there and found 14 daedra don't know wher they came from but all i know is they owned me

Uh.. double clicking poison apples instead of shift-clicking them.

Some hero

I had just close down the gate to Oblivion from Kvatch, saved Martin and I was returning with him to Weynon Priory. On the road I met an Imperial Legion soldier. He says "It's you! The hero from Kvatch!". I thought "Wow. I'm famous. my good deed got out". And then he arrests me for having a stolen apple on me. I had no other ingredients to combine it with for a potion and had the stupidity not to eat it.

And another one

I was at the start of the game. I completed the "Unfair competition" quest in the Imperial City, which took me several game days because there is a lot of waiting to do. In the mean time, while stalking my targets, I used the time for some leveling up. So I conjured skeletons until I reached the level of Master in Conjuration, expert in Mysticism, I created tens of potions, ran around like a fool for some athletic skill, etc. So i jumped from level 2 to level 16. After completing the quest i headed out of the city to the nearest fort thinking to kill some goblins or bandits with my new skills. To my surprise, in the ruins of the fort I saw a blue creature. Little i knew it was a frost atronach. The arrow I shot at him just annoyed him so it ran to me and teared me to pieces in a moment. To my horror I discovered that all the creatures have leveled up with me and instead of goblins and easy bandits I have to fight Daedra, huge bears and other monsters. No need to say I was no match for them.

eating poisonous plants.. everyone has done that.. but once when i was at my friend's house we were playing on oblivion and he was a bit of a noob so i went on a killing spree with his argonian battle mage... after a while i gave into boredom and got caught.. after my time in the imperial prison i went on another spree.. ended up killing the nice lady who invites you to join the thieves guild and plenty of mages got my mate kicked out of the acraine university lolz!!!

its not just the fact you leveled up, forts, cave, mines, etc. all have differant creatures for you to fight from common creatures to deadly daedra

So I was running away from an Ogre when I decided to jump on one of the ropes on a nearby bridge to get a clear shot at him with my bow (my body was perpendicular to the rope). I then decided that I needed a health boost, so I slammed down a bottle of Daedric Lava Whiskey and, well, let's just say that I won't be having kids anytime soon.

Well, I have been jailed 85 times! :laugh: :mischief:

Warning, Spoilers:

I was doing the quest where you have to find some ladies husband because he went missing (He owed a lot of money to some Orc). You find the Orc, talk to him and he tells you that he'll let her husband go if you go to an old fort and find a special axe for him. So you get into a boat to go to the fort and then go inside, and then the gate falls down behind you and then you find the womans husband it turns out youve been tricked and you have to go through some cave with people in who have payed the orc money to hunt a human (you). I killed the guys, got outside to find the orc killing the man who went missing and then he turns on me. I kill him and his henchman, get the key to escape from the ruined fort. The key dosent go to the actual fort gate, theres a door somewhere back inside the cave that has the switch behind it. I spent about half an hour wandering around inside that cave looking for the locked door... I went all the back to the back of the cave a few times and back, looking everywhere for a door in the floor or a secret lever. The door was about 5 feet away from the entrance to the cave...

And then when I went back to the woman my reward was a book worth 75 gold. Plus, My assasin character who I did the quest with is a complete weakling at combat, and those men in the cave werent exactly easy to kill...

The day that...

The day that oblivion came out, I decided that I was going to pull an all nighter with a friend trying to beat the as much of the game as possible. It was just my luck because after about 10 hours of playing I fell asleep in the wilderness and was killed by a Mud Crab. I woke up just as my character fell over dead. It turns out that we never saved once and we had to go back to the most previous autosave, which turned out to be about 6 hours ago

Ouch, that's a good one. It reminds me of wasting alot of time when I first got the game too.

I started playing the game with no idea that there was a wait mode. That's right, and without funds to own a home yet, I'd stand outside a shop, nearing emcumbered with all my loot to sell, sometimes from just after closing until they opened again.

Then I discovered the wait mode, and was like DOH!!!

That was hard to admit.

Ok, so I'm new to the game

There is a wait mode?!! Hm, maybe i should try that if i figure it out. i have to admit that i'm new to the game (i started playing one month ago). However, after three weeks a friend of mine came by and at a moment started to give me some odd looks. "This is how you move on the map?", "yes, i said, how else? don't you run from city to city?", "You idiot! there is a fast travel mode. You just click on the destination!". Now he tells me!

The wait mode is the "back" button on the 360. I also didn't know about the fast travel mode on the World Map at first, but I rarely use it. Hate to miss out on any loot from critters and bandits along the roads, plus it keeps your athletics skill going up and thats a slow one.

right

true. i also use fast travel only when i'm full and have no place for loot. so, i bought a horse. being cheap, i bought a bay horse. i ditched it in the imperial city shortly afterwards. it turned out that my athletic skills were better an i move faster on foot. that was a good investment. also now i can carry much more and running is more profitable.
