In Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion what do you think your character was in prison for at the beginning?

[Bernzz]

I guess it'd be for doing what I do once I'm out of prison again? Killing random people who are alone on roads. Oh, and defiling ancient ruins which are now protected by the Ancient Ruin Preservation Society of the Empire.

 

[Fiery Killer]

I once used a mod where you started on a ship...

You mean Morrowind?

Spoiler

lololololololololol

Actually there is a mod (though I forgot where) that you can download that has an alternate beginning. Instead of being in prison, you arrive by ship and get the amulet some other way, then you just continue on with the normal quest-line.

 

[SlasherX]

Um, I was so awesome that all of the guards testicles shriveled in envy and they threw me in prison because of my black magic

 

[TheMariner]

Personally, I can't argue with Patrick Stewart.

As for what I have done... It does not matter. That is not what I will be remembered for.

 

[Patrick Dare]

Based on how I usually act in these games I'd say many, many counts of theft, murder, bribery and assault. Oh yeah, and not to forget the corpse robbing.

 

[iLikeHippos]

He probably scratched his balls in public. And as you know, in Cyrodiil, acknowledging your own needs regarding the lower area IS A CRIME!

Thus, there are no children running around...

 

[Guitar Gamer]

Let's see, what would my brutish Orc do to end up in jail?
................probably embezzelment.

Either that or I like to think he was the origional don of the Orum gang in cheydinhal.

I think it was probably for having a stupid face, thanks to the 'random' button.

I picked up a pumkin.

Stop right there, criminal scum! Picking up fruits off the floor for hygenical reasons is forbidden in all of Cyrodil!

(We are referencing the same thing, aren't we?)

Lethal throwing a pot at the emporer and his bladeS!!!!!!!

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Necrophilia... what, I was a Dunmer with a dead wife!

 

[Burningsok]

My breton probably pulled one to many fast ones on the Imperial City guards using magic tricks

 

[Patrick Dare]

I like to think it's because I went far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like multiple times.

Needless to say, when the city guard found out that somebody actually had been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like they got annoyed and locked me up.

Sorry if this has already been brought up but...WHAT. THE. FUCK. are you trying to say?

 

[Volstag9]

He was never arrested in the first place, He 's the janitor and someone closed the door!

 

[Dango]

I always thought I was in their for just pickpocketing or something.

 

[DuplicateValue]

Discrimination. I usually play as a black-red argonian, so I probably swam in the royal pond or something, and they decided that they hated me and locked me up. But your skills are so low in the beginning anything else isn't really possible; too weak to murder someone, too noisy to steal something and too unintelligent to build a doomsday device and try to take over the world.

Well you were clearly bad at whatever it was you were doing if you wound up in jail.

 

[claymoreguy18]

Probably knocked up some nobles daughter. That would be my first guess at least.

 

[Easton Dark]

I was caught putting money into a beggar's pocket so I could skip the '5 gold at a time' rule.

 

[Johnny Impact]

I played a disgustingly good paladin (the alignment I refer to as "lawful stupid"). I'd say a friend of mine committed a serious crime and I took the fall for him so he would be free to take care of his family.

 

[gigastrike]

For accidentally hitting a civilian with an arrow while trying to shoot a goblin. It's a fellony in Tamriel, apparently.

 

[WicketL]

I was on prison because once i was on a bridge and put fire on people and their content screaming "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

or

Because i broke the law. Thou shall not use VATS.

 

[katsumoto03]

Why, smuggling Skooma of course! It's some good shit. Only 35gp a bottle...
