It does it from time to time and drives me nuts...always before I can save as well...
I play Oblivion more than any other game and because it's such an open world I can choose what I do and when. I think I've played over 100 hours with my current character without touching the main questline once :lol: I guess it appeals to my fantasy side with all the magic, swords and monsters...
I don't think it's a game you can suck at...even if you find yourself being hopeless at the mini quests or the fighting, the levelling system means it doesn't take long before you are so hard no one can kill you first, even if you slash like a lunatic in every direction :lol:
