*Yaaaaaawn*
Boy, has it been a while. Time to fire up ye old Oblivion!
Now, as a note, I’ve installed a new mod: One that requires me to drink SOMETHING on a regular basis, unless I want to dehydrate myself. It also adds water, in the form of waterskins, which I can refill at rivers, lakes, swamps, ponds, wells, etc. I’m planning to try it out for a week and see how annoying it gets.
Also this update is short.
First off, a dialog box pops up informing me about some stuff related to the water mod. That’s neat.
It’s 7:57 when I wake up. It takes me quite a while to remember the controls, and, when trying to open a chest, I accidentally first draw my axe, then drink a potion of restore fatigue, and then light the chest on fire.
That’s when I realize there’s a way to LOOK at the controls, through means of the magic escape key. I do so, then proceed to heroically open not that chest, but every single one in the cabin, looking for anything I might have missed on my previous raid.
After checking the cabin, I spin around to the door, and straight in my face is Mazoga. Me being as surprised as I was, I didn’t snap a screenshot, but did manage to get this one of her sleeping:
Resisting BOTH feral Orc tendencies (if you catch my drift… If you’re on the down low… If you’re getting my meaning… If you’re picking up what I”m putting down… Wink wink nudge nudge), I leave her be.
Before leaving the cabin, however, I remember the hydration mod, and so decide to, based on what I have read in the mods’ description, take a whole assortment of jugs, pitchers, and mugs from the cabin, in order to get the water I so desperately need to survive.
Nice.
Sitting down, I eat a breakfast of Mead, a carrot, and my last piece of mutton.
It’s somewhere around 8:13 when I take my last look around the cabin. I exit shortly after.
It’s raining outside. and I’m tired. Waking up at 7:30 is no easy feat, and having to hike all the way from here to Bravil is not a very nice thing to be doing. I also need to drink water every now and then.
Well, that’s one positive thing, I’ve got an Imperial Horseman, the iconic figure of strength, loyalty, and manliness to follow.
But then I realise I need to get some water for my journey, so I trudge over to the lake, the horseman not bothering to wait for me in the slightest.
It takes me at least a year to figure out how to drop the pitcher that I picked up earlier, and when I finally do, I can’t find it anymore. Crap. Good thing I brought extra.
A mug is the next to go. It plops into the water, I press my grab key, followed by my pickup key, which, according to the mod description, Is all I need to get water (even if it is untreated).
Close, but no cigar. The mug just plops back into my ‘misc’ section, still empty. After trying again at least 7 more times, I get the same result.

Anyhow, I find what I’m looking for. Turns out I need an alchemic apparatus to actually get the water into the cup. Dunno why, but yeah, I do.
Well crap. All I’ve got from here to Bravil is one bottle of beer. Looks like I’m going to have to go thirsty for a while, and I’ll probably be a fair bit dehydrated by the time I get there. And I’ll have to buy water, too, or steal it from the wells. God damn, this IS pretty annoying.
Back to Oblivion then. Oh wait.
Looks like you’ve noticed the ‘Part One’ in the title. The reason that’s there is that after I opened Oblivion again by Alt-Tabbing. The game promptly crashed.
Dagnabbit Damnit!
*Sigh*
How will Grugzob survive the trip to Bravil? WIll he die of dehydration? WIll the Skooma dealers attack? Or perhaps the infamous Mudcrab Bandits have devised a clever ambush? Who know? Tune in next time for Grugzob’s continuing adventure, same Orc time, same Orc website!
