Oblivion:City Guard

The City Guard are members of the Imperial Legion serving as garrison for the cities of Cyrodiil. They are generally seen walking around the city, or at its gates and the castle. Almost all guards in Cyrodiil are Imperials, although there are a few exceptions who are either Redguards, Nords or Bretons. Like most generic NPCs, they will respawn after being killed. There are a few exceptions, but most guards are not on duty 24 hours a day. They work in shifts, just as real guards would. In most cases, a guard spends half a day either at his post or patrolling, then another guard will come to relieve him. He will then go to the nearest guard barracks, chat with other guards, eat and drink, and then finally go to sleep until it's time for his next shift.

  • PC Only This bug is fixed by version 3.4.0 of the Unofficial Oblivion Patch.

Arrest

• (Disposition above 90) "Looks like you are in some trouble. Since we are friends, don't worry. I'll look the other way and take care of that fine for you."
• (Infamy above 90) "Stop, criminal! I've heard of you. Your criminal exploits are well-known. Pay the fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are forfeit."

Not Enough Gold

• "Stop! You violated the law! Since you lack the funds to pay the court, you must now serve out your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit."
• "Well now, what do we have here? Caught in the act and no gold to pay your fine? I'm confiscating your stolen goods. Now it's off to jail with ya!"
• "Break the law on my watch, will ya? I'll be confiscating your stolen goods. Oh, and no gold to pay your fine, hmm? It's off to the lockup then!"
• (Infamy above 90) "Stop right there criminal scum! I'll be confiscating your stolen goods. And since you don't have the gold to pay off your crimes you know where you're going to. Jail."

• (Disposition above 80) "Here's the procedure,first, we go to the castle, search for any stolen goods,you pay your fine and then we release you."

Cut Dialogue

It appears that originally the player could surrender to the guards while he\she was the Grey Fox "So the infamous criminal surrenders, this calls for a celebration, ehm...pay your fine or serve your sentence, your stolen goods are forfeit."

The Player could bribe the guards to overlook a crime. "I don't usually take bribes, but I'll look the other way just this once, if I see you again though, I'll have to arrest you."
