Playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
It was a beautiful, hot summer day outside. The sun was shining, and if you ask me, there wouldn’t be a day as good as this for a long time.
So, naturally I was inside doing absolutely nothing. Well, I was playing video games by myself, but I doubt half of you count that as actually doing something. I was playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. A sprawling fantasy world where you can go on epic quests to stop evil. Or steal people’s horses, if that’s your thing.
In real life, I’m simply a nerd who has nothing better to do than write stories that nobody will ever actually read. Oh, I’m Riley. I think your name is important in these kinds of stories, right? In the game, I was a Nordic (one of the game’s races) mage that could summon skeletons or …show more content…
I used a nifty fast travel ability to get to him. I arrived early in the morning, and sold it to him for a good thousand gold pieces. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. Using the gold, I went back to the Imperial City and bought a room in an inn till midnight arrived, where I could go grab some quests from my fellow thieves guild members. There’s something serene about chilling in a fake world and being an infamous thief. I had a lot of stress during the school year, something I despised, and now that the summer was here it was nice to finally wind down. My classes expected a lot from me, but here nobody expected anything from you. At about 10:30 in-game, I went to the waterfront district and travelled behind an old shack. Even in a video game, still sucks to see they still have poor as dirt neighborhoods. A man came carrying a torch, and covered in light armor. “What can I do for you?” he asked. I selected a text option for quests, “The corrupt captain of the guard has been charging everyone too much for taxes. Think you can steal the records and whatever he’s taken?” I accepted, of course. People like that in real life angered me too. Bullies who thought they owned the school and everyone in it. I went to the guard tower and entered it. His quarters were at the top floor. The guards took a look at me, but said nothing. After a while, they sat back down and began to talk amongst each
