The current status of the Oblivion game: Still fun and obsessive!
In the game, you get to come across so many neat things, of late I have started collecting in game books. Some of the books are very short at only a few paragraphs, others span to 30+ pages. Through the books I have essentially figured out the primary story of the main quest, even though I still haven't started that up yet.
Oblivion is the name of a plane of existance that certain demons come from. The plane of existance was sealed, but that seal was broken with the emperor's recent demise. I have the impression that it is possible to actually go to that plane of existance and I will at some point. But I still haven't conquered all of Cyrodill (I think that is the correct spelling).
There is just so much to do! I'm not just talking quests either. Through many nights of theft, I have earned enough gold to buy a home in a city. My current goal is to buy all of the furnishings for that home which nearly equal the same price. I have plundered most of the nice houses in the major cities, so now I am starting to look for new targets in the smaller villages scattered around the map. The neat thing is that until you find the villages they do not appear on your map; unless someone marks it for a quest.
I wonder how many more hours this game will offer me? I have become the Theives Guild's newest Guildmaster through a series of very challenging quests as well. With the rank comes my own guild house in the biggest city, essentially my first home. I still wanted a home, who would want to store stuff in a guild house for theives?
I am currently working on the assassin's guild membership to help fund my home furnishings. Muhaha. The neat thing about these quests is that you receive a bonus if you complete your contract in a specific way. Just before I signed off last night, I had to sneak into a house and kill this old man. To get the bonus I had to make it look like an accident by loosing some fastenings for a Minotaur Trophy head on the wall. It fell down and struck the guy on the head and killed him. I then snuck out: Mission Accomplished. With a nice enchanted dagger as a reward.
My next mission involves killing this jerk of a Dark Elf that you met at the very begining of the game. I decided to end it there so that I can savor it after work when I am fully awake. Besides it was approaching 3AM.
Between the two guilds, I'm enjoying the assassin quests more so far. I like having the optional bonus.

LOL sounds like you're having a great time. I have fond memories of that game.
Minutes of the meeting in WoW last night: long term goal is for all of us to get Death Knights (after the expansion) and form them into their own order guild.
Medium term goal: Order to get into Comitatus' second Kara team sometime in a month or so when Sami hits 70 and Tayren gets better gear. Tayren joined Comitatus.
Immediate goal: Friday night Anatalos and I (and anyone with the gear and/or inclination) are running the new instance that came out in the patch, which is reportedly nice and difficult. Wednesday next is Order Quest Night -- we each show up with a quest and help each other complete them. And we'll be doing Instance Night and Quest Night on a not-too-heavily-scheduled basis in the future.
I'll keep ya posted should anything of interest come up, and you'll be pleased to hear they did away with diminishing returns on honor. Sami is turning into quite a battleground addict :D
I was having a great time, but I came down with the flu and have been quite miserable for the last two days. I haven't even spent that much time playing the game.
Oh noes! Hope you feel better soon.
I went and hopped Lapaki out of Comitatus and into Forsaken. Bunni is still in Comitatus though and departure was on mostly good terms, unless they have trouble getting a healer tonight and decide they hate me.
So much for taking over team two, although we can still do that, I can always send Bunni :)
