As an ardent Elder Scrolls enthusiast, I can’t help but recall the legendary High Elf Speechcraft trainer, Tandilwe, nestled within the Temple of the One in the Imperial City. Back when Oblivion graced our PCs and Xbox 360 consoles over 19 years ago, it was evident that even a master like Tandilwe could benefit from some speech coaching herself.

Performing certain actions will raise their favorability towards you, while others might lower it.
Last week, Tyler expressed some concerns about Newblivion’s upcoming makeover.

In a different phrasing, Joe is the typical antagonist who, despite my personal inclination to wish him success, leaves me feeling uneasy. Yet, I find myself secretly wanting him to escape his questionable actions on more than one occasion. His complex personality makes him a character that audiences either love to despise or despise to admire.
