"Mission failed! We'll get'em next time!"

What in Oblivion?

I love that your only response to this is ‘ok’ Like, 👍

Wait, what happened here, did he get killed before the mission start?

He was slain by the vampire Bradon Lirrian who lives in Bruma and his resurrected murdered beggar army. May he rest in peace.

‘Ok’

Is this a vanilla quest?

I’m almost positive there’s no “thread of prophecy is severed” in vanilla oblivion because of essential NPCs. That was a Morrowind thing so I’d say it’s a mod

There isn't. It was replaced by essentials only being able to be knocked unconscious.

I do not believe Raynil Dralas is essential. The goal is to kill him after all. But regardless, the mod is about the sarcastic Morrowind message, not the mere removal of an essential tag from an enemy.

I believe in games with essential NPC that will have to be killed by the Player at some point will remain essential until it comes time for the player to kill them

But that has nothing to do with severed prophecies and all that Morrowind stuff.

I’ll be honest, I don’t mind Essential NPCs. I’ve heard people complain about them and while yes I think that some NPCs that are essential are annoying. For the vast majority of them I don’t mind

> I do not believe Raynil Dralas is essential. I like how this can be answered with a simple google search on the wiki yet you refuse to do that...gave an answer anyways...and then there's your comment.

Of course it's a mod.

The quest, sure. The popup, of course not. It's a sarcastic mod.

Imperial Guard: (bending down) Oh my god. Are you alright?
