  • In today's video, we go through and discuss Molag Bal's Daedric Shrine Quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. We begin by finding the shrine out in the great forest of Cyrodiil. Once we find it, we speak with Amir who tells us we need to offer a Lion's Pelt to Molag Bal. Once done so, the Daedric Prince tells us we need to go to Brindle Home and make Melus Petilius attack us with a weapon called the Cursed Mace, and ultimately defeat us in battle. Once done, Molag Bal transports us back to his shrine and rewards us with the Daedric Weapon and artifact, the Mace of Molag Bal. Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe!

    I always found it funny how the fame and infamy system worked in Oblivion. Do some work for the fighters guild, or maybe do a part of the main quest? You get fame points. Makes sense, you're helping people out going on adventures and being a good guy so people are going to know who you are and like you. But steal for the Thieves Guild or do some work for the Dark Brotherhood? You get infamy points. Again, makes sense; You're being a villan so people are going to feel a bit iffy towards you. But you decided to pray to Molag Bal and do his bidding by mocking, laughing at and torturing an innocent man praying at his wifes grave? You get fame points. Someone work that out!

    Oblivion allowed for so much sandbox fun. My villain took over the dockyards, bribing all the riffraff there and equipping them all in order to kill the guards. The guards never got close to me, as my minions dispatched them. Of course many lives were lost in my defense, but it was all worth it ...even with all the lag it caused.

    I live in Oblivion. Eternally. I always run unarmed Argonians, can't express how much I just love Oblivion. I've played ALL of them but ESO doesn't have an unarmed stat so after a while it got old. Oblivion has so much color, and beauty that no other title has outside of small areas. You do a great job covering Oblivion. I'm only on the 166th day of my current run, but I've watched a ton of your channel this go-around. Your lack of a zealous display of intrigue and bluntness are the main seller for me, no silly voices or speculations that make YOUR headcanon work.

      Technically the Eternal Champion from Arena and the Hero of Daggerfall weren't prisoners due to an undisclosed crime.

    This quest is evil. Taunting a widower over his dead wife over her grave is extraordinary screwed up. Then we let him kill us with Bal's mace all just because Molag Bol is that much of a dick. Returning afterwards scares the hell out of him too. I love it. This is infinitely better than his Skyrim quest. It had potential for choices but Bethesda is allergic to that. Think about it we should have been able to get that guy out of there and think of a way to remove the curse on the house. We could have also had a choice to trick Bal by working with the Bothetia priest. But no. Do what the game tells you and nothing else.
