Part 6: The Elder Updates VI - As the Crow Flies
As the Crow Flies
Before I head out, I should make sure I don't neglect my magical training.

It's BOUND to come in handy at some point.


Annnnd a quick stopover at Edgar's.
Snowball comes at a magicka cost about double that of our starting

Hmm...as long as I'm traveling a long distance...








To Crowhaven!
Which is waaaaaaay in the southwest corner of the map. Yay.

Forget the roads. I know where I'm going.

What's this?


Gah!

Well, whatever.

Oh, look. Bandit.


I'm not impressed.

Moving right along.

So yeah, y'know what? I rode on a horse for a while. Some of you have asked my opinion on Fast Travel, so lemme break it down for ya: in Oblivion, you can instantly travel to notable locations you've been to before. You also have the ability to travel to any major city from the start of the game, but I'm going to avoid that. Basically, I'm really only going to use Fast Travel to return to cities after quests. I don't want to miss anything, after all!

Of course, this led to me checking out a dungeon with an interesting name. Goblin Jim's Cave sounds like a cool place, right?

I honestly don't know what I was expecting.

Oh hey, a little loot room.

No, no, no. Surely not.

Oblivion's Not That Bad Points:


It all culminated in a fight with a wizard that was way too strong for the rest of the cave.

And then I died from an ill-advised jump. We now join Sterv at an earlier point in time.

Wait, this cave is just full of goblins.

I don't have time for that.

...okay, where did I put my horse?

Guess I'm walking!

What are those trees over by Kvatch?

They look...wrong.

I should investigate.














Not long ago, I was in prison.

I don't even remember for what. Probably the guards were tired of looking at me.

I thought I was going to die in there.

And now, here I am trying to stop a Daedric invasion.

The Emperor said...I was a hero. Destined for great things.

Oblivion take me.
