I went into The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered as an anti-social soul. My intention was to blitz through the main storyline while streaming and maybe return to some side questing at a later date on my own time. Because of that, I didn’t mean to get involved with the Fighter’s Guild quest line but I stumbled across it in Chorrol. There, I met Modryn Oreyn – a grumpy but loyal Dunmer with beguiling eyes. He kept asking about pursuing his mission to hunt someone down but honestly, I was focusing on the key matter at hand – overwhelming gates of Oblivion popping up all over the place and causing havoc. So, Modryn just had to tag along and suck it up.
What started out as a mildly irritating companion soon turned into a platonic friendship for the ages. Even if I feel I was far chattier than the silently grumpy Modryn. The thing about Modryn is that he doesn’t have a lot of tact. Or sense of personal space. I’d turn around and there he was. Just staring. Staring into the depths of my soul, I suspect. Potentially judging me for never actually helping him but forcing him to tag along at all times. I could have treated him better.
