How the “Whodunit?” Quest Revolutionizes Oblivion Remastered

Okay, let’s dive in. You know, sometimes, videogames throw a curveball at you. Like, you’re just minding your own business, slashing away at virtual foes, and then boom — a quest comes along that makes you stop and think. That’s exactly what happens in “Oblivion Remastered” with the Dark Brotherhood’s “Whodunit?” quest. This one’s a gem, seriously. And it’s got this whole sandbox, choose-your-own-chaos kind of vibe.

So, picture it: you’re at this party in Skingrad. Not your typical tea-and-cakes affair, oh no. Doors locked. Everyone inside is, well, let’s say they’re on your to-do list. You’ve got to off them one by one. Now, instead of going all hack-and-slash, you can play with their minds. Send one guest’s suspicious glances spiraling onto another, and sit back as they turn on each other. The freedom, man — it feels kinda liberating in a mischievous way. Who needs brawn when you’ve got brains, right?

And the weird part? This quest echoes “Paranoia” — another little mind-bender in Oblivion. Both seem simple at first glance, but peel back a few layers and you’re dealing with some serious intrigue and paranoia. You’ve got to feed into the guests’ fears, stoking the fires of mistrust. Reminds me of playing detective as a kid, except, you know, darker. And if you’re anything like me, you might just get a sick sense of satisfaction watching it all unfold. Not that I’d ever admit that!

Oh, and a little tip? Save the game before diving in. That way, you can replay and mix up your strategy. Maybe convince one guest to do your dirty work while you kick back and munch on a sweetroll. The NPC reactions? Priceless. Watching them come to ridiculous conclusions about who the killer might be feels like watching a reality TV show. Seriously, it’s chaos — the fun kind.

Anyway, back to where I was… Oblivion really nailed it with this quest. It’s a breath of fresh air when you’re up to your neck in dungeons and dragons. If you haven’t played it, you’re missing out. Strap on your manipulator’s hat and jump in — it’s a wild ride. Who knows, you might just become the next puppet master of Skingrad.
