Whodunit? (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion)
Speaking of morality, sometimes there just isn’t any to be found in a side quest. You’re merely a contract killer, and there’s a job to be done. Such is the case in this curious mission, which finds you locked in a mansion with five party guests who are hunting for a treasure chest. Your goal is to murder all of them without being discovered along the way. In order to do so, you’ll have to garner enough information from each of them to discover their motives, and coerce them to wander into empty rooms under false pretenses.
Once you’ve got them isolated, stab away! Their party favor is a grim death, and you’re one step closer to collecting that coveted bonus. Afterwards, the remaining guests will begin to ruminate on the identity of the killer, confiding in you and continuing to follow your advice, despite the fact that you seem to be the only one casually brandishing a weapon around the mansion. As you begin to thin out the numbers more and more, their paranoia will get the better of them, taking matters into their own hands and openly assaulting each other.
It’s up to you which order you want to commit the crimes in, and part of the fun is seeing how each guest reacts to each demise. Depending on how they felt about that particular house guest, they might be horrified, vexed, or in the case of the greedy old crone Matilde, rather delighted. She may be callous, but you’ve got to appreciate her ambition.
