Line 9:
** Mannimarco too. His mooks are slow and avoidable, he has no game in melee combat, and if you have a decent weapon, then he can be killed with a dozen or so attacks at the most.
*** He becomes even more of one for a player of Daggerfall, who likely would have expected Mannimarco, the King of Worms to look like the King of Worms (imposing, clad in a red robe covering his face in shadow, eyes glowing brightly). Oblivion's incarnation... is a fairly ordinary-looking Altmer.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Mankar Camoran is the leader of the Mythic Dawn cult, and is the driving force behind bringing Mehrunes Dagon into Nirn so he can lay waste to it. The psycho also promises a paradise for the cult members who die, which is really {{spoiler|a twisted pocket dimension where he tortures them for all eternity.}} To say this guy has a few screws lose isn't saying nearly enough.
** Kurdan gro-Dragol, who {{spoiler|uses a brutal loanshark persona as a front for his [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game|murder tournaments]], kills Aleron Loche after you've been trying to save him, then laughs in your face.}}
** Umaril the Unfeathered, originally a brutal Ayleid tyrant, now a half Ayleid, half Daedra [[Omnicidal Maniac]].
** Mannimarco is a necromancer who {{spoiler|leads a vicious assault on the Bruma Mages Guild and slaughters almost everyone inside, makes no bones about wishing to do the same for the other Guild chapters, and also researches Black Soul gems which leave their victims to a fate worse than death. He plans on leading Archmage Hannibal Traven into this fate as well}} all out of spite for an old enemy of his who founded the guild.
* [[Crazy Awesome]] - Sheogorath is, almost literally, practically the ''embodiment'' of this trope. For example, if you attack him, he executes you by teleporting you hundreds of feet above the Isles, ''just to fall to your death''!
* [[Demonic Spiders]] - If you're playing vanilla Oblivion and you've leveled up too high, ''every single enemy'' becomes a demonic spider due to the game's [[Level Scaling|leveled enemies system]].
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
** The blacksmith in Mania will hit on the player if you're a male character. Did I mention this blacksmith is a gay Orc?
* [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks]]: Oblivion received this reaction from the rest of ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' fanbase upon it's success.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: The antagonist of the Dark Brotherhood questline {{spoiler|Mathieu Bellamont despite being ''completely'' off his rocker. The guy infiltrates the Dark Brotherhood for the purpose of tearing it apart from the inside, and not only gets Lucien Lachance paranoid enough to order the player to completely purify (Or in other words, wipe out) the Cheydinal Sanctuary, but also successfully plants fake orders from Lucien that gets the player to unwittingly kill off high ranking members of the Dark Brotherhood including the Listener himself! By the time you find him out, the Brotherhood has been reduced to a ridiculously small amount of members. Not bad for a guy driven batshit insane as a little boy.}}
* [[Memetic Mutation]] - The game spawned memes: Rufio from Dark Brotherhood. Throwing the Adoring Fan off of Dive Rock. "I saw a mudcrab the other day." And, of course...
{{quote| '''''"[[Large Ham|STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM]]!''''' '' You violated the law! [[City Guards|Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit!]]"''}}
Line 66 ⟶ 68:
** Makes for quite an [[Anticlimax Boss]].
** It also hits him, [[Your Mileage May Vary|arguably]], in relation to ''Daggerfall'', in a more visual way. Compare the King of Worms there with the Altmer of ''Oblivion'': http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:King_of_Worms.
* [[Woobie]] - Antoinette Marie of the Dark Brotherhood went through an absolutely horrible life, mentioning how horribly she was treated by the Imperial City's prison guards among other things. She also looks so sweet and innocent... though the fact that she's a remorseless stone-cold killer who laughs about a time she poisoned her aunt kind of makes her lose woobie points a bit.
