Today's game is some more Oblivion. I nearly went back to Daggerfall, but i went to that wanting to be a brief break from Oblivion for fun. I wasn't expecting to get hooked on it lol. I ended up having to sit myself down and basically go "No more Daggerfall until you finish Oblivion". I went ahead and did some more of the Shivering Isles questline today. I ended up getting in deep shit with the law after i got caught trespassing trying to get the Duke of Mania to Overdose on a drug so i can steal his blood to replace him. I ran out of the city to wait for it to blow over and got this screenshot of the waterfall.

While i was looking to kill the Duke of Mania, i found him in his garden painting. For someone who's about to die, i'm glad he's found something to do before i kill him and take his place. We all need some hobbies.

The whole ritual has you visiting this church with an altar that has some really pretty showcases of the new lighting. I love how soft it looks. I feel like a lot of modern games try to go for Sharp shadows, so seeing these nice soft shadows is really nice and refreshing. It kind of reminds me of how Uncharted 1's art style was.

I initially took this while i killed the Duchess and took her place. I only went back to see how the Duke's quest was after doing it. The only issue was, when i went back into town (after i ran out of the city to wait), i was arrested and went to jail. Somehow i became over encumbered and i started eating food to clean out my inventory. I accidentally ate the poison apple though and died. I had to load a save way before i planted the drugs on the kings food. Only, Oblivion decided that it was in the mood to crash for a second time. I ended up stopping there because i didn't feel like doing that all over (not to mention i was starting to feel tired).

I plan to try and wrap up the Shivering Isles quest line tomorrow, as i'm starting to miss Cyrodiil. The whole Alice in Wonderland-esque aesthetic of the Shivering Isles is a bit like chocolate for me, i can only have a little bit before i start to feel sick.
