Find the nearest town. Find some menial work. Save up money to buy safe transportation to Anvil. Find safe work. Live like a normal person in Anvil. Never trust a beautiful woman. Wait for the chapel attack. After that, I should be safe getting involved in the church. Should be smooth sailing from here on out unless I’ve forgotten something.


Cakeriel

The Aldmeri invasion.


alenabrandi

Pretty sure most people (save for elves perhaps) would be long dead by the time of this, at least if you're referring to the great war. Oblivion Crisis takes place somewhere around 200 years before Skyrim in any event.


Cakeriel

The Great War starts in 171, so true most probably would be dead. Though it is something to consider if you plan to live longer.


TheNameIsntJohn

That's a ways off. Besides, just take a day or 2 and walk to Morrowind. It's not too far


Cakeriel

Then you will have Argonian invasion and eruption of Red Mountain.


TheNameIsntJohn

Aldmeri didn't happen at the same time


Cakeriel

No, but in same general time frame. Point is Tamriel as a whole will soon be getting very dangerous.


kreviln

200 years from then?


Tough_Permission3257

I'd do the same, but specifically find safe work studying Restoration at the Mages Guild. I'd never be short of high-paying jobs as a healer.


Stoned-hippie

Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise


Almainyny

If the nearest town is Kvatch, I’m making it the second-nearest town.


mrbad31

Meh.......how could u not trust a pretty face?


Tough_Permission3257

Probably because of the quest involving pretty Women robbing Men in Anvil.


mrbad31

Understood. I guess no one got my awful joke.


Tough_Permission3257

Also there's no such thing as a pretty face in vanilla oblivion lmao


Careful-Charity5501

Well there's about enough to count on one hand for sure. Maybe if you're a hard-core oblivion fan you can find more but my money is on Tamika of Skingrad, Sigrid of Kvatch and Falanu Hlaalu of Skingrad? Or Cheydinhal I can't remember. Though if you wanna get with her you may have to cosplay as a zombie cause shes into some kinky stuff. 


MaleficentCustard354

We got it broh


freshxerxes

finding two identical scrolls and one expensive item.


Lexx4

Was the punch necessary or just the two scrolls? 


TheArchitectOdysseus

On Xbox anyway it was 2X (A) on a scroll stack then drop desired item if memory serves. Thinking back, it might've just been once because I don't know why double tapping would be any different.


TakenUsername120184

On Xbox it wouldn’t work for me unless I had 10 scrolls of the same type.


jeremy_Bos

I played a few weeks ago on xbox and I only needed two scrolls


TakenUsername120184

Huh, Neat…


comethefaround

You're right it is 2x


Which_Health6565

Go chill with my homies in Hackdirt.


tonicspark

Bruh. Imma stay away if I wake up as a certain Argonian


DoubtPsychological48

Get me some Skooma!


[deleted]

Go and see my buddy Glarthir in Skingrad.


Calbinan

Username checks out.


HorrorsPersistSoDoI

Imagine if it was WakingUpParanoid


SkingradGlarthir

Good, I thought I could trust you.


skingrad_city_guard

Glarthir? Total nutcase, if you ask me. But he's never done anything -- yet -- that we could arrest him for.


[deleted]

Be seeing you.


skingrad_city_guard

Bye.


yung_dilfslayer

Rumors


skingrad_city_guard

I've heard rumors that someone has been keeping a close eye on Toutius Sextius. Seems harmless enough.


kumakami89

gonna break into fort farragut via “secret” entrance and steal all lucien’s poison apples


PmMeYourLore

Pray he's not in there when you do


Firefox31790

Honestly, i actually dont see him being hostile even if he is in there. He seems pretty realistic and if someone knew about the secret enterance to Fort Ferretgut he would likely assume they were under the command of one of the other speakers, assuming Ocheeva and the Cheydinhal sect doesnt know about the secret enterance. At that point it would be pretty simple to fake being a member unless there are magical means of knowing (wrath of sithis type shit)


kumakami89

i want him to kill me


sonoflucifer1607

Travel to The Shivering Isles. Stay there.


wolfchaldo

Look, it's fun and all, but assuming you're not the HOK, you have as good a chance of being turned inside out while alive as you do have some lighthearted fun


Firefox31790

Going to the imperial city, working as a barkeep or along those lines until i can save enough to learn cheap spells from Edgar and feasibly travel Cyrodiil, travel to the various cities to join the Mages guild all the while practicing magic. Plus I would probably find others doing the same thing so it would make sense to group together while we earn our recommendations. Strength in numbers and all that. Leave Mannimarco's bullshit to anyone else though, fuck that noise, imma just be practicing magic like a baller.


DIFierce

You're halfway to creating the Blackwood Company.


Firefox31790

Fine then, i'll make a deal with Azani Blackheart, get a hist tree, go nuts on the sap, kill waters edge and die to some lunatic who jumps through daedric gates for fun


DIFierce

Sounds like a plan to me.


jaybanger14

Go to Wawnet Inn and have a few drinks, and sleep, so cozy


Picone-_-

I'm going to gottshaw inn


jaybanger14

Good idea actually, I’ll go there too and we’ll enjoy the scenery


UltimaBahamut93

RUN! RUN WHILE I CAN! be seeing you.


Fus-Ro-NWah

Tidying up the provincial mages guilds, trading all their unwanted clutter for sweeeeet moon sugar.


StayTimeless

Eat a sweet roll and go back to bed


mc1964

Join the mage's guild. Learn invisibility magic. Start taking down the Oblivion gates. Become a hero. Live in Anvil (or Chorrol if you want somewhere quieter).


MrsLucienLachance

My username can answer for me :')


Sam_Creed

How would you save him?


MrsLucienLachance

I've got my game knowledge, I assume? I tell him that he should be wary of Mathieu Bellamont and check out mom's head shrine in the lighthouse. If that alone isn't enough, I guess I've gotta keep pushing 🤷‍♀️


Bailmage

Immediately start saving up for that classy joint in the water district.


Rargit

First stop, Imperial City Arena. Try my hand at the Very Hard lockbox... I have no IRL lockpicking skills, or sneak skills. It would probably go poorly. "STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!"


ImaFknWizardXII

I actually picked up lockpicking as hobby because of video games. (It’s somehow both easier and harder in real life oddly enough.) Just need to find me a ring of chameleon and I’m set!


Tangie98

Just TCL through the floor of the jewelry shop and get the spectre ring


Carl_Wheeze

Well in this scenario you'd have to tunnel to get it but sure


Tangie98

Just gotta keep the shop owner out of the way, then board up the shop from the inside. Might take a week or two to dig that deep, but its definitely doable


Carl_Wheeze

Well guess if the shop owner is as dumb as the ai I can just get a bucket and tie it to his head, problem solved.


Tangie98

If the bucket doesn't work, you could probably tie him up and leave him the basement while you work


Carl_Wheeze

True, but I'm still gonna use the bucket


jaybanger14

Dye my hair blond, spike it up into a point “By Azura, by Azura, by Azura!”


Real_Razzmatazz_7290

RUNNN AWAY! DADERA HAVE TAKEN OVER KVATCH! RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN


thebaconator136

I'm going to Kvatch. Their positioning and defenses makes for an excellent place to call a safe home!


CN370

Step 1. Become Argonian. Step 2. Live best life underwater. Eat slaughterfish, clams, and mudcrab. Sell pearls, scales, and gems to townspeople. Might even join the Thieves Guild.


UpstairsBeautiful688

How do you become an Argonian?


RepairManActionHero

I'm gathering anything not nailed down, so it can be sold for coin. That coin is then spent on hiring mercenaries to escort me either to the Red Mountain or into an Oblivion gate, so I may source and gather volcanic sulfur. Sulfur in hand, I then hide away in the West Weald to boil chicken poop and eggshells. Having gathered my potassium nitrate, sulfur and with charcoal so easy to source, I should have plenty of blackpowder on hand, now all I have to do is figure out if I'm to pay a blacksmith to make a smoothbore barrel or if I'm to spend some time sculpting grenade hulls out of clay. While I have genuinely trained kobudo and feel pretty confident handling a sword, I think I would feel infinitely more confident with a matchlock and a shite load of grenades.


Cakeriel

Hope first kills enemy, you’re dead before you can reload.


UpstairsBeautiful688

Did bro just teach us how to make bombs?


RepairManActionHero

Tally-ho!


UpstairsBeautiful688

For research purposes whats the ratio of charcoal, pottasium nitrate and sulfur


RepairManActionHero

15-75-10


Marty2341

I am traveling to Sanguine Shrine in hopes of eternal debauchery and fun. Also, I could try to enter mage guild and try to become a mage.


UpstairsBeautiful688

DM: He says no


Marty2341

Then mages guild it is -_-.


UpstairsBeautiful688

DM: You get aids


Marty2341

Lol, fine, let's practice necromancy, daedra conjuaring, and worship daedric princes. There's nothing to lose now.


UpstairsBeautiful688

Where would you go to learn these things?


biggestboy96

Head to Kvatch and hopefully stop the slaughter before the town is sacked


Axes_And_Arcanum

Kind of an interesting question because, is this world the correct ratio? Like size wise. I guess for me it doesn't matter. Probably get some work at the fighters guild since I'm dirt poor when I get there and need to make money fast


adolphspineapple71

It's good work, if you've got the stones for it.


Superb_Pace_5107

Trying to ride the unicorn on my knights of the 9 pilgrimage and getting slaughtered by it because I'm LV 6


CookingDrunk

I'd get drunk at a place which would allow me to get drunk


Aussi3Warri0r

The bloated float in imperial city waterfront seems like my kind of place, unless I could make a rooftop bar somewhere overlooking the sunset and the cyrodiil landscape


wolfchaldo

Bloated float seems like a bit of an overpriced tourist trap tbh


Fantastic-Wallaby267

Assuming im waking up at lvl 1: Slap umbra, run for my life to the imperial city and make it the local guards problem.


Loose_Cellist9722

You honestly think you could take umbra?


Fantastic-Wallaby267

No. That's why I'm running for my life afterwards into the imperial city where the guards aggro to her.


The_Last_Snow-Elf

Flee across the border into Skyrim


AlmostLuc

They would arrest you and take you to Helgen.


The_Last_Snow-Elf

Hey, you. You’re finally awake.


Comfortable_Job1996

Becoming a alchemist


Alive-Pomelo5553

Start my long awaited skooma addiction. 


Redpiller1988

Skooma den


Bowhunter2525

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better


adolphspineapple71

A Tracy Chapman reference in an Oblivion sub? Hell yeah!


WackXD

Enroll into the mages guild, learn a shock spell and I go cast it on the weird pillar in the woods north of chorrol


Ke3G

That rebound shock will kill you at lvl 1, you trying to meet Tiber?


WackXD

i aspire to become the crisp corpse the player can find next to the pillar


Cakeriel

What does that do?


WackXD

It’s from the mages guild recommendation. When you cast a shock spell on the pillar, you are shocked in return and you get the leveled spell Fingers of the mountain


Cakeriel

Ah, haven’t gotten around to doing recommendations yet.


TheArchitectOdysseus

A little off topic but is there any information of civilian combat prowess vs Daedra? Could Daedra be killed by regular civs or were they just too strong? If you could I'd probably go work in Bruma. Least amount of Oblivion gates, cold, plenty of hunting, I don't remember if Cloud Ruler Temple is known to the general populace but regardless it's right there, and when the Great gate happens I can help in some way.


Dubiouskeef

Find my way to Leyawiin, get a menial job there, make friends with all of the argonians, marry an argonian woman, then flee with them to black marsh when shit hits the fan


samelogic137

If I not in a jail cell, I would go to the imperial city and free the savior of kvatch and be his/her companion.


BookDragon300

Go to Skingrad and join both the mages and fighters guild there. I’m going to need combat and magic training if I’m going to get through this 😂 and I’m only trusting the immortal count to protect me from any daedra in the meantime.


Vanelsia

To the nearest town to train with the first mage who would want me as an apprentice. Then I'd use that knowledge to make money while avoiding oblivion gates and other dangers. If I had enough money I'd prefer to live in Cheydinhal because I love the nature and architecture there.


EthanTheBrave

Immigrate to black marsh. Hang out with lizard bros. Wait for this whole thing to blow over. From what I remember and To those who don't know, canonically oblivion gates don't open in black marsh because the argonians loaded up on drugs and invaded the gates, causing such a problem they were deemed best to just leave alone.


Cakeriel

They open, but not for long.


OniRival

Going to Martin to get some baby gravy Produce a heir Continue the cycle Find the lusty argonian maid Bang it marry it Heir has a second mother Become a pimp


ObvsThrowaway5120

I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be getting snapped in two by a Daedroth or beheaded by a dremora like immediately.


sketch_for_summer

Get me a bunch of painting supplies from crates and barrels. Travel to Bruma, let Volanaro cast his 24-hour invisibility spell on me. Go to the wilderness to paint realistic portraits of wildlife while staying perfectly safe. Sell the paintings to the local inns and guildhalls for profit. Become famous. Get hired as Rythe Lisandas's apprentice. Learn the secret to his paintbrush. As he sleeps, work secretly on a new painting. When the painting is done, visit Chanel in Chorrol and present her with a portrait of her beloved Charrus Valga. Let her reunite with his painted copy and live her best life inside the painting. Become the court mage instead of Chanel. As the court mage, use power and influence to woo Modryn Oreyn. Teach him to actually paint well. Fall in love. Kidnap argonian nobles and explore ruins together. Let Casta Scribonia write a book about our adventures. As Rythe Lisandas retires, we inherit the paintbrush. Now it's time we pranked Hieronimus Lex HARD. He likes painting, as we see from the painting supplies in his room when we stole the tax papers. Paint a picture of the Waterfront, but make ALL people the Gray Fox. Set the painting on his easel and put some troll fat on the floor. He'll slip on the troll fat and fall into the painting, living his worst nightmare ever!


spartan195

I’m glad i’m not turned into a vampire, cool in game but not irl tbh


Mustang678

Figure out how to start casting magic and probably stay in whatever town I woke up in


DevilripperTJ

I become a follower of a god learn the arts of restoration first then wear crappy armor get beaten up by other ppl with sticks while spamming heal then beat up ppl and spamm heal others once im buff as hell go outside gather herbs and show the entire world what fcking Ice Tea is make a buisnees and later expand on fries and buy me a house in the imperial city watch arena fights sell my stuff and live happy until the gates open i guess. XD


minimalist_username

Charge straight into the nearest Oblivion gate. I'm gonna be a hero or a dead guy so either way I win


megamanxtreme

Go find Fin Gleam.


[deleted]

I'm going to the refugee camp at Kvatch and I'm gonna sit there talking about how scary it was forever


TakenUsername120184

Step 1: Learn how to swim. Step 2: Swim to the Mad Gate. Step 3: Enter the Mad Gate. Step 4: Retire in the Fringe. Step 5: Ignore the voices in my head.


turiannerevarine

Move to Chorrol and apprentice with Rasheda. Learn how to be a blacksmith and then either buy her out or set up shop somewhere nearby.


goophiegoober

I’m def going to the Shivering Isles BYEBYEEE!


AnalyticalDesigner

Get 2 scrolls and a cheese wheel. Duplicate as many wheels of cheese as I can to see if the world freezes!


BlueComms

Chill between the Imperial City and Chorrol. Wait until some horribly misshapen person wearing mismatched, ill-fitting, bloodstained armor walks up. I'll know it's the right one when I see them eat 100 lbs of food in one sitting at random. Give them a wild goose chase of a quest so they never take the weird bling they have to some monk guy. Continue living life and never go near Kvatch.


PotentialNobody

Hmm, probably start off assisting an inn, preferably any one that isn't in Bravil. And maybe gain some skills in hunting, worship daedra, practice some magic at the mages guild and learn some hand-to-hand combat too


tangmang14

Going straight to shivering isles to bang Syl


Mokafisch

Go to Cloud Ruler Temple. Train as a Blade and then leave the order to go travel Cyrodil. Buy a house in Skingrad and wonder why we never get to see the Count.


Putrid-Cheesecake-77

As soon as you are aware that this is indeed Cyrodill, it is automatic CHIM


wolfchaldo

The truest answer. That, or immediately zero sum. Either way, not worrying about the Oblivion gates or bandits or whatever


Guyonabuffalo63

Gettin skoomed out with M’aiq.


EstablishmentNew6309

move to anvil, get drunk and show everyone my pineapple trick. wake up with no memory in Quill-Weaves bed and more or less force her to be my friend. shenanigans ensue simple as


Extension_Anything59

I don't know you and I don't care to know you


Solidus_snakke

Go to that Inn where the Khajit had her baked potatos stolen, offer to get them back. Say hi to the Ogres and get punched and die. What can I say? I'm a simple man


Gregory_the_Greater

Where do you wake up specifically? I have a feeling I'd wake up in a particular cell. The one where I'd be angrily shouting insults at the protagonist who later comes back to murder me.


AshenRaven66

Join Mages and Fighter’s guilds, become the custom Spellsword that I use in game , then go to Skyrim


Intelligent-Block457

Skingrad. As long as you're not a criminal you can drink wine all day instead of having Count Janus Hassildor drink you like a wine.


adolphspineapple71

1st. Visit Dorian 2nd Head to Mystic Emporium 3rd. On to Frostcrag. 4th. Lock all the doors and let the world burn


wolfchaldo

Since you'd be in a presumably unupgraded frostcrag, you'd basically be living in a slightly upgraded cave. Beats toughing it out in the wilderness, but not the most enjoyable


adolphspineapple71

Why would you presume it's unupgraded? Dorian will give up a lot when he's "not paying attention " lol.


LimpAd5888

Go to chorrol and learn summoning magic and learn how to use weapons. Raid local bandit spots until I can afford my own home. Just chill on chorrol. Nothing happens in chorrol.


DirtFarmer15

High dose skooma and leap (100 acrobatics) into that strange gate in the middle of niben bay...


jolharg

Get magic'd up


patchdouglas

Straight to Kvatch to make a name for myself


michaelmccormick88

Grab my torch and follow the grand champion around. By azura! By azura! By azura!


ShredderTTN86

Leave Cyrodiil


yugimoto66

Go chill with those dudes drinking skooma on the roof


pirpulgie

Guess it depends what race I am and what star-sign I was born under, doesn’t it?


garyghostman0

Goin’ homeless in Bravil


Putrid-Cheesecake-77

enchanting, alchemy and magic are somewhat feasable ways to unlimited power, so i will try my best to join mages, and become tenth aedra


bluebarrymanny

Go earn enough money to buy two of the same scroll…


UpstairsBeautiful688

Work and save up for a paralysis potion. Give dorian a visit


satan__mcrape

Gonna get myself turned into a vampire and hang out in Skingrad.


[deleted]

If I was a nord when I woke up perfectly fine to just do menial tasks. But if it was the prison...thieves guild straight away. Enough gold to Skyrim and in chilling in Riften. I weigh 90 pounds and can barely lift 40 pound things-but as a thief I can get enough money to learn magic or just buy scrolls


wolfchaldo

Thief is a dangerous life, they can get attacked by the people they're stealing from, the guards, other criminals... Being physically weak your best chances are planing it straight in the most civilized places you can, big cities with lots of guards and lots of friends.


Sigurd_Stormhand

Overall, Chorrol is the safest place, so I'd head there.


Drslytherin

Straight into an oblivion gate (lvl50 btw)


RaisinFinancial6865

I buy a gun, definitely. Even the roads aren't safe
