Slashdot Mirror
Married In Oblivion
An anonymous reader writes "Thanks to an odd glitch in the game that prevents him from completing the Knights of the White Stallion quest, Shawn has figured out how to keep himself a mighty fine Orc wife, Mazoga. Once she went on adventures with him. Now she lives in his house in Tamriel, and he can't get her to leave. He visits her when he's in the city, tired after his days of adventuring. He's thinking about buying her a kitchen set. Maybe a living room. Hands down, it's the best Oblivion glitch to date."
Did anyone else notice that the background color of the "tab" for the story on the front page was red? Next refresh it was back to normal gray again.
I've always wondered what it would be like to sleep with an orc.
The article didn't mention what glitch it was, but if it was the one where the bandit never shows up... try going toward the boundary of that country (don't remember its name, but it wasn't far from the ruins where you're supposed to ambush him -- and it was a general area I saw other named bandits walk from). I found him stuck between a couple of trees, pacing errantly back and forth until he saw me and attacked.
As for Mazoga, I always figured she was probably a lesbian.

I mean, it's a fun game and all, but two random stories about Oblivion that belong on a fan forum more than they do on Slashdot?
As soon as virtual sex partners become a reality, civilization will collapse completely.
DON'T HAVE SEX WITH ROBOTS... or... MMORPG wives...! Or else!
Ex nihilo nihil fit.
In Morrowind, you could actually get yourself a girlfriend, and as close to married as you'll get in that game. After meeting and befriending her, then doing a few personal things for her, she ends up giving you the key to her house in Pelagiad, which becomes yours for all intents and purposes. As far as I can remember, there's only one bed in that house, but so long as you don't mind catgirls that shouldn't be an issue. :)

I'm surprised his character's name wasn't Pendleton Pendleton.

Like you could ever know that, especially when there are so many to choose from
Disclaimer: Even with all of the bugs its still a great game

OMG Ponies!!!
(Really, I don't have Oblivion installed, but this story intrigues me.)
... of Leasure Suit Larry II -- this is how old I am! ;-) Still have to catch up with all those new MMORGS (BTW, anyone can suggest a client which would work on FC5?)

Did the writer of this article actually check inside the ruins for the bandit. That's where I found them....

I read and enjoyed the article but was left wondering, is this really a glitch? The author described what he has done to complete the quest that he claims to be glitching. Sadly, he's not actually doing the right thing. Odds are the quest is working just fine, he's just not a very successful knight.

This reminds me of a story my good friend told me about Oblivion. During a certain fighter's guild quest, he had a well armored male companion. Due to an accidental pick pocketing during the quest, he was kicked out of the fighter's guild. However, his companion continued to follow him everywhere, helping out with ambushes as needed. Also turned out that his loyal fighter's guild companion was unkillable.
This wouldn't have been that funny itself . . . but, after awhile the Fighter's amour begin to fall into disrepair, eventually leaving him completely naked. So, currently, my friend has a naked man following him everywhere. On the 360 widescreen, you can just make him out . . . running behind, desperate to catch up.
only one everything
Try going inside next time......
Physics is nothing like religion. If it was, we'd have an easier time trying to raise money!
What I want to know is how many people can you get to follow you? Mazok the orc, get the imps from the staff, I think there is an escort mission....
Just run Fraps for 120 minutes and torrent it up.
In a recent stirr-up of events over the "Orc Marriage" glitch, the PR of Bethesda software stated that "it's a feature, not a glitch." Millions of fans across the globe have ceased holding down the Z on their keyboards and violently moving the mouse around, and decided to "stay home for the weekend" for "some hot coffee" with their female orcish partners.
I pick pocketed the fugly bat... took her key to the lodge, and locked it inside the house.
Didn't see her for a while.
But then I found her, sans armor (nice green breastises..), sleeping in one of the beds.
Wiley little wench..
.. she'd demand you say.. 'Fuck me, Sir Mazoga'.... and would address you as 'Sir Knight' in the throes of passion. Kinky, but by no means a gad thing.
None of the women I've been with smelled or tasted much like fish. Mostly it smells like BO and pee if they haven't bathed recently, or like not much of anything if they have. (one girl's smelled like flowers, if you can believe that.) If they have a yeast infection it smells like bread or something fermenting.
You can always tell the level of sexual experience in a group of men by how willing they are to believe the "pussy smells like fish" myth. Anyone who's ever spent much time around (or inside) one knows that is simply not true.
