It wasn't particularly climactic, some dude walked from a hidden door and shanked him in the guts while you watched.

I think he is more refering to
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
in Skyrim.

No, I mean Oblivion. Uriel Septim, who gets assassinated at the start of Oblivion, was the guy you save in Arena, the guy who sends you to Daggerfall in... Dagerfall, and the guy who pardons you in Morrowind. He starts all of the quests up through Oblivion.

I started with Oblivion, but didn't those guys have different roman numerals after their names? I thought more time passed between games.

Uriel Septim VII.

He's the same guy that got captured in TES: Arena, and did all that stuff up to Oblivion.

Ive noticed that since sometime this year UESP has fallen below the wikia one on Google searches every time. Is the information on the wikia one just that much better that people are ok with dealing with all the  ads? Or do they just not know UESP exists?

information is not better, UESP knows alot of the scripts and their commands along with great indepth into the history of Tamriel with the library of books and short stories. Wikia gets on top cause of ads.

I found wikia to be quite reliable, plus, they have seperate pages for most important quest items, whereas USP throws all quest apparel into one big page.

I personally use both sets, and keep both EUSP and the wikia bookmarked hen I'm playing Skyrim.

I also, unlike certain others, can browse more than 1 wiki for a game.

There's not much difference in them, honestly.  EUSP offers a wider range of general information and lore; but as its user-driven; they both miss things or have a bit of information on one site and another bit somewhere else. I use both, just to make sure I got it all.  Only a couple of seconds are reading and two webpages up at the same time. Easy.  :P

Yes, that's exactly what I do. Generally I don't even bother bookmarking, I just Google It and then open both links. Like, if I want to know the Destruction spells. Sometimes one wiki is more readable than the other (usually Wikia), UESP is more of the "wall of text" variety.

Whatever you do, don't rely on their pages for lore(Especially the wikia).  Double check it with the actual books or game situation.

Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

Use the Imperial Library instead for lore. It's even got some of the more obscure lore, too, that you most likely won't find in-game or in the books. It has pretty much everything lore-related you could ever need.

I'm going to cure it tough. Seems pretty boring and i don't really want to play a vampire (atleast without dawnguard).
