I wasn't planning to spend much time with Oblivion Remastered. In a year already filled with great games and with Clair Obscur offering an actual modern RPG to play instead, I thought I'd dabble in Cyrodiil for just a few hours before moving on. So perhaps you can see why I was surprised to find myself, 20 hours into my playthrough, roleplaying a full, hours-long stakeout as part of a Dark Brotherhood quest.
A few contracts into Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood line, you're sent after a mystery figure. All Vicente can tell you is his name, and the fact that he's a High Elf who goes for long walks around the Imperial City. Clearly, there was some sleuthing to be done, so I headed to the Elven Garden District, figuring that would be the best place to get a lead on an enigmatic Elf.
