After a nice little marathon of Morrowind before picking up this game, I specifically ran towards the fun time Thieves Guild that I loved. Of course, that required actually FINDING the Thieves Guild. There are only two ways to get your foot in the door compared to every other straight forward way (kill someone or just fucking ASK).
Either you get yourself arrested and thrown into jail (which I apparently had accomplished before the game even began), or you look at a wanted poster on the street, talk to some people, look at the poster again so the game can remember to add the "Gray Fox" topic to conversations, talk to some more people, find a beggar, listen to him say he doesn't actually know anything, realize that you have to win that fucking annoying speech minigame until he likes you enough, listen to him tell you to meet some dude at midnight on the other side of town, wait 16 hours until he finally shows up, but even then he won't acknowledge the Thieves Guild, so you have to win yet ANOTHER speech minigame in order for him to trust you enough to tell you that you have to earn your way into the guild before you can actually join!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! O_O
At least in Morrowind, you could always find the Thieves Guild in all the big towns, they were always stationed in the back-alley taverns. And I can understand that having such an open recruitment department in your guild of wanted criminals might be bending believability, but at least its fucking convenient like all the other guilds! Plus, I always just assumed that they were actually an official guild that was licensed by the government, like the guild that pretty much gives you a government approved license to kill.
I dunno, they should have really gone back and done something about the serious run around for Oblivion.
. i have the most interesting RPs there including my current character An orcish Mage
