One Oblivion Remastered player pushed the RPG's spellcasting to the limit - at significant personal cost - just to save a single murderous NPC.
In the town of Skingrad, a Wood-Elf named Glarthir can approach the player and ask for their help. As part of a quest notably named 'Paranoia', Glarthir thinks there's a conspiracy against him, and wants your help proving that he's being followed around by several of his neighbours. There are multiple ways that the quest can eventually play out, but if you tell Glarthir that he was right, but then refuse to help him take out his foes, he'll take matters into his own hands.
