In Oblivion, I failed at stealing something and got arrested. Okay then, fine's not too big, so I pay it. Then I spawn outside the prison and find
three NPCs from the Fighter's Guild and a damned
lich. It quickly turned into a brawl, with guards soon coming from somewhere to join in.
Oh Oblivion, never change. I feel like Bethesda RPGs are chaos theory in action.
