Changes: Quests (Oblivion)

Revision as of 00:10, 27 June 2018

For other uses, see Quest.

The quests in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion include those that must be done in order (quest lines) as well as those that stand alone, such as the Daedric and wilderness quests, which can be done in any order. Some of these have other requirements, however, such as most all Daedric Shrine quests, which require the Hero to be a specific level. It may also be wise to start a quest, but not finish it if a quest item that may be lost or changed upon completion of the quest is useful.

This page lists all quests in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It does not include quests from any of the add-ons, such as The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles, The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine, Mehrunes' Razor, etc.

100% Completion

There are 204 journal quests in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, though only 203 journal quests can appear, and at most 199 journal quests can be completed. If going for the maximum number of quests accepted, "A Dark Exile" is the only one quest which cannot be started, since doing so means permanent expulsion from the Dark Brotherhood, rendering the remainder of the guild quest line inaccessible, and "Eternal Exile" is impossible to start once the Hero is named Listener of the Dark Brotherhood. If going for the maximum number of quests completed, however, there are four quests which can be started but cannot be completed. Two of these quests are "Whispers of Death" and "The Arena," which are the final quests in the quest lines for the Dark Brotherhood and Imperial City Arena quest lines, respectively. These quests have no completed state as they are infinitely repeatable for a gold reward. The third of these four quests is "Cast out of the Thieves Guild," which also has no completed state, and the Hero can repeatedly use this quest's journal entry instructions to gain re-entry into the Thieves Guild. The last of these quests is "Cast out of the Thieves Guild," which only reaches its completed state once the Hero is expelled for the third time permanently, rendering the remainder of the guild quest line inaccessible.

These quests will be listed in parentheses beside the quest they follow.

There are 15 Daedric Quests, which have the unique aspect of minimum level requirements, as well as other offerings to the Daedric Shrines to begin the quests; these requirements are listed in their entirety.
