Oh, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, what words should I use to describe thee? As I've mentioned before, this game is my favorite of the Elder Scrolls franchise by a long way. While it may not have the weird edge of Morrowind, or the more impressive graphics and better voice acting of Skyrim, it has something else. What i𝓰t is I find hard to put my finger on, but I've got a couple hundred words here to try. The game created an immersive world like none of the other games in the franchise have been able to. It made a worl꧑d that you actually kind of wanted to live in. The graphics have aged, but they're still gorgeous, and exploring the sun-dappled meadows, or the seedy underbelly of Bruma is still exceptionally immersive.

It had quests that never felt like you were just going from A to B. Instead, they were lovingly crafted, as with almost every Elder Scrolls game, I let the main quest go hang while I ran off in the world doing mad stuff. I joined the Dark Brotherhood after attacking a man for no reason other than I wanted his sword. I stole from the high and the low of society. I plundered every dungeon I could, and became fat from the profits. Howe♈v🌳er, there are some parts that I definitely missed, including some on this list. Which of these have you not yet discovered? Excuse me, I'm just going to go reinstall it.

30 🅺 The Painting That Transports You To Another World

In Cheydinal, you’ll find the quest “A Brush With Death.” It’s not an important quest, and is exceptioꦺnally easy to miss. Should you follow it, you’re in for a treat. A woman’s artist husband is missing, and she has no idea where he’s gone. Approaching his painting, you’ll find all is far from it seems. Touch the painting, and you’ll be teleported into it. Do battle with painted trolls using turpentine, and you’ll eventually be able to free the artist.

29 💎 A Unicorn You Can Ride

Want to ride a unicorn? Of course, you do. Make your way to the Inn of Ill Omen near Bravil, and 𒉰head north-east. Eventually, you’ll stumble upon the Harcane Grove, containing the game’s only unicorn. Approach with your weapon sheathed, else it will turn hostile and end you with ease. Also, beware: the grove contains a trio of minotaurs who can also end you with a single swat as though you were a fly. Oh, and you can't keep the unicorn: once you get off it, it'll be on its merry way. It is a f♒antastic easter egg, though.

28 The Bloated Float 🍎

This unassuming looking inn is based in a ship on the Waterfront of the Imperial City. Assumptions however, can be deceiving. Sleep in the inn, and you’ll be awoken to find you’re far out to sea. The ship 🐷has been hijacked by pirates, and you’ll need to take care of t🌳hem, then get this ship/inn back to port. Complete the quest, and you’ll be rewarded with a great cutlass, the Blackwater Blade, as well as a big bag of gold for taking care of their leader, Selene.

27 ಞ The💜 Troll's Good-Bye

This is kind of tragic, really. Between Cheydinhal and Leyawiin, you’ll find a troll face down in the water, complete with a note. The note, describe🤡d as "poorly scrawled," is heartbreaking. The troll describes himself as "wurst troll evur," and is haunted by the fact that nobody pays his toll. He belieඣves he isn't scary enough, and decided to end it. Poor guy, someone should make a mod where you give him some counseling and turn things around with him.

26 🌠 A Hidden Fight Club

So, you wan🐎t to join a fight club, do you? Well, you won't find Brad Pitt or Edward Norton here, just some butt ugly potato-faced NPCs beating the snot out of each other. Go to Anvil docks around midnight, and you’ll encounter a bunch of NPCs duking it out. Why it's there, I'm not entir🌺ely sure, since it's not involved with a quest. You can’t join in, sadly, and if you try to, you'll incur some serious pain. Oh, and very obviously, don’t tell anyone about it.

25 ༺ The Ghost Of A Mudcrab

In a very late quest in Oblivion's main story, you head to the severely-misnamed Paradise, the realm of the Dremora Mankar Camoran. When you're working through this place, you may spot a remote island. There’s no quest objective about swimming out to it, so most players simply ignore it. If you decide to make the journey, you’ll encounter the ghost of a mudcrab. I🅺t’ll attack you like every other mudcrab, and can be ended. I imagine ghost meat is a delicacy in some part of Tamriel.

24 🦩 All Things 🎉Alchemical's Original Store

All Things Alchemical is located in Skingrad, as every keen Oblivion player knows. However, this wasn’t Falanu Hlaalu’s fi🦄rst store. You can discover the original store near Memorial Cave, southeast of the Imperial City, on the shores of Lake Rumare. These ruins contain a whole heap of potions and ingredients, very useful for the heroes out there. What caused Falanu to have to move on is unknown, but judging from the state of the stall, it must have beওen something dramatic.

23 𝔍 Border Watch And Its Apocalypse

Do Sheogorath’s daedric quest and you’ll be able to kick off the end of the world early in a town called Border Watch. This involves...well. A lot of things really. Firstly, you have to steal a prize cheese collection (well, it would make me think the world is ending too), cause a plague of rats, and eliminate livestock. Sheogorath takes care of the rest, and it's clear he has a flai🥂r for the dramatic. Why? Well, he makes it rain flaming dogs. What else would be fit for a god of madness?

22 ♔ The Testinghall

Have you ever looked up into the sky and pondered on what lies beyond? Had the inhabitants of Cyrodiil done that, they may be surprised at the answer. Located high in the sky is the Testinghall. Accessed through the "coc testinghall" console command🍷, this place contains a bounty of goods, by which I mean, literally everything in Cyrodiil. A library of every book in the game, an armory with every weapon and bit of gear, every single creature, and grounds to test lockpicking, AI, and lighting, among other things.

21 A Body With An Amazing Helmet ▨

How would you like a helmet that gives you the ability to breathe underwater, see in the ✅dark, and detect life? You’d like that a lot, right? The helmet is called Fin Gleam, and it’s located on a skeleton hidden on the western side of an island to the west of Anvil! You will need a potion of nighteye and some way of breathing underwater to find it. It’s so easy to miss, but is well worth finding, even if for no other reason than it being worth 2401 septims.
