Oblivion is the fourth game in the Elder Scrolls series and has one of the best stories in the franchise. It's also the perfect place to get inspired by a Dungeons and Dragons quest or two.

Oblivion has enough content that would translate well into a D&D game that a DM could simply pull out any of their favorite parts of the game to use in a campaign. The Elder Scrolls is packed with rich quests ready to be introduced into a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

10 The Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion is the best of the series

The mission of the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion showed how incredible serial killer cultists could be. Lucien LaChance is one of the best NPCs the series has produced, and he was so beloved that he returns as a ghost in Skyrim.

There are plenty of individual missions to choose from if the full lane isn't what the campaign needs. Something as simple as a good murder mystery quest where the killer is actively choosing people would make a great D&D night.

9 Finding Out That The Lost Prince Is A Cursed Thief

The Thieves Guild in Oblivion had its ups and downs. But the moment the renowned thief boss, Gray Fox, reveals himself to be a cursed nobleman would lead to an incredible D&D quest. There's no shortage of cursed items in D&D, so Nocturne's Gray Cloak wouldn't be out of place. The rest of the quest follows pretty standard D&D tropes as well, so it would be easy to adapt.

8 Crashing a party with Sanguine

Sanguine is the god of debauchery in the Elder Scrolls. The search for him, also called Sanguine, is short and hilarious. The player must crash a party by dressing in fancy clothes and then cast a spell that strips everyone down to their underwear. In the end, Prince Dedrico himself is so amused that he gives the player his staff. This could be a hilarious middle-of-the-road quest for the group, as long as they have a good sense of humor.

7 Become the Prince of Madness by fighting Jyggalag

The Dedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath, has to turn into Jyggalag from time to time and fight the next version of himself to keep his balance. This could be a last minute adventure to close out a campaign. On the other hand, a big D&D battle to ascend to godhood could work for very high level campaigns where the stakes need to be a little higher.

6 Discover the Gray Prince in the Arena

10 Oblivion quests to make them your next D&D campaign

Arenas in D&D are a great place to introduce new characters, challenge abilities, or advance the plot. Oblivion has a fun arena section that could also give a game of D&D the chance to meet the Gray Prince, a half-orc who is rumored to have a noble father who wants some confirmation. This would make a nice plot hook or a way to start a new story.
