Oblivion:Scripted Deaths

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

This article provides a list of all Oblivion characters who die because of a scripted death at some point in the game. A scripted death is one where a game script forcibly kills the character, no matter what choice the player makes. Scripted deaths are usually caused by a quest, in cases where the quest assumes that the character has died. The deaths ensure that there are no continuity errors or other unexpected glitches later in the quest.
