Oblivion Remastered’s Agatha Christie-Inspired Quest

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is perhaps one of the most popular games in history, and most of its success is due to its near-perfect execution of the open-world RPG experience. But before Skyrim came out, we had The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, and there we got some of the best quests ever made by Bethesda.

The Dark Brotherhood questline is one of the best in gaming history, but one particular quest in that series is a standout. That quest is Whodunit?, a ******* mystery set within the locked walls of Summitmist Manor in Skingrad. This quest is inspired by Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None and pulls off the mystery perfectly. Here’s what you need to know.

Whodunit? is one of the best quests in The Elder Scrolls’ history

To begin Whodunit?, you’ll have to progress through the Dark Brotherhood questline. You get the mission from Ocheeva after completing “The Lonely Wanderer” and “Bad Medicine.” Next, you’ll be sent to Summitmist Manor in Skingrad, disguised as a guest at a seemingly normal social gathering. But that’s where the craziness starts

TES Memory: Whodunit? Six people enter a mansion under the pretext that they are there to hunt for a treasure, but one of them is a paid assassin hired to kill the rest. The twist? You’re the assassin.

When you reach the manor, you’re locked inside with five unsuspecting partygoers, and you’re all marked for death. But that’s when the game hits you with the twist. The name of the quest would suggest that you’re here to solve a ******* mystery. But no, you need to eliminate every other guest without raising suspicion.

The Cast of (Soon-to-Be) Corpses is colorful. Dovesi Dran is a flirtatious Dunmer. Matilde Petit is a nosy Breton matron. Neville is a wealthy Imperial. Primo Antonius is a former soldier. And Nels the Naughty is a drunken Nord. Each of these characters has quirks, biases, and grudges you can exploit. And the best part is that you can do it in any way or order you want.

Best questline EVER presented to us in any TES game out there. Loved this one!

This is SUCH a good quest. I remember saving before going in and replaying it like 4 times.

The guests in Whodunit? are not just there to die either. They react to events and deaths. Depending on the ******* order and player interactions, surviving guests will begin to suspect one another. In some situations, they might even commit ******* themselves. For instance, if only three guests remain, Dovesi may snap and attack Matilde or Primo, believing she’s defending herself from the true killer.

This is the peak of Bethesda’s storytelling

This is the kind of gameplay that makes Whodunit? feel like a real puzzle box. All of your choices matter. Who do you kill first, what do you say to whom, and where do you go in the manor? It all matters, so make sure to save before going into the manor, or before any big choice you make while you’re in there.

This tone and structure are what make it stand out from other quests in Oblivion Remastered. There’s so much dark comedy and suspense in the whole quest if you want to find it. If you want to, you can even announce that you’re an assassin as soon as you arrive, but the other guests just think you’re a prankster.

Unlike most ******* mysteries, Whodunit? doesn’t ask who committed the crime; it asks how you can commit it without being caught. It is one of Oblivion Remastered’s best quests, and we are eternally grateful that Bethesda remastered the game because we get to experience it all again.
