The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has captivated players with its rich narrative and expansive world of Cyrodiil. However, some gamers, like one Reddit user, have encountered unexpected challenges that can hinder their progress in the main storyline.
In a recent post, Reddit user Different-Ticket2974 shared their frustrating experience of becoming effectively “locked out”of the main quest. While pursuing a side quest, they made a crucial mistake that subsequently hampered their ability to continue the game’s primary narrative.

The player’s troubles began during a pivotal moment when they, alongside NPCs Martin and Jauffre, were en route to the Cloud Ruler Temple. However, they chose to engage in side quests and inadvertently disrupted their progress. They noted that “every time I’d sneak into the room to steal the book of spells, Martin and Jauffre would rat me out for stealing,”leading them to instruct the NPCs to wait in an area within the Burma Mages Guild.
Subsequently, as the player continued their adventure, they later discovered that the guided Guild had been destroyed, resulting in “Martin and Jauffre glitched out of the game.”Faced with this dilemma, they have decided to create a new character to finish the main storyline. The Redditor humorously underscored their lesson learned: “classic Oblivion, don’t ever tell Martin to wait anywhere.”
