The MOST ANNOYING QUEST in Oblivion

  • Tove the Unrestful is a Nord commoner living in Bliss, New Sheoth. He seeks your help in finding calipers and tongs to build a skyboat with. Tove seems to have trouble understanding the laws of the physical world, along with the concept of time, or maybe he understands it better than anyone.
    Tove is true to his name, having a very busy lifestyle. He spends very little time sleeping, only taking a quick four hour nap at 2am in his upstairs bedroom, making sure to lock his upstairs door to prevent any unexpected guests. At 6am he rises, going through the door connecting his house and Books of Bliss to visit his flirtatious neighbor, Sontaire, for two hours, sometimes eating if he has any food on him. At 8am he returns to his house, unlocking the door to allow visitors access. At midday he goes to The Choosy Beggar for two hours of socializing, again only eating if he has food in his inventory. As long as neither The Cold Flame of Agnon or Ritual of Accession is running, he will go to the Sacellum Arden-Sul at 4pm for two hours of worship. When he returns home he enjoys a two hour dinner on the bottom floor of his house. He spends all his spare time working on his boat, either hammering at it with his axe or examining it.

    If you kill Tove before finishing the quest, your journal will say “I’ll never find another buyer for useless calipers and tongs”.

    The most annoying quest is clearly The Great Divide. Trying to kill all of them without a bounty is almost impossible and requieres multiple tries and reloads. If you wait to long before starting this quest it may fail itself without you doing anything, because one of the NPCs may get killed by a random encounter with a monster.
    Some quest as worse as Work is Never Done is the Britaur quest with the flawless pearls. You need only five pearls but that things are really rare. If I play through Oblivion all few years I collect every flawless pearl I find during my adventures before starting with Shivering Isles. After 250+ hours I may have 6 - 8 of them. So if you don´t collect them during the main game you are in trouble.
    Some folks write they can be found in clams in the water, but I never found a single flawless pearl inside a clam in 15 years. :(
