Thievery - if you're anything like me then a lifetime of shitty stealth missions has your muscle memory flinching for F9 everytime you're spotted by guards trying to lift the package. And grabbing that thing before the other two thieves wasn't too hard, it was one of them ratting me out to the police what raised the difficulty. But I said fuck it and just booked, and was able to make it back to Armande with about 9 city watch in tow. Then I was "in" and had access to the "bribe the judge" option and wiped my record clean. The amusing part is walking past those same 9 city watch guys, all still in line with their swords held above their heads, greeting me cordially. "Well met, citizen!"


This is the part were I got really into Oblivion. I broke all my lockpicks trying to get into the mark's front door, because I didn't fully understand the lockpick minigame and my security skill was at like 5 (I had the looks of a black man, but none of the skills (OHHHHHHH)). I didn't care much at first, but was dismayed to discovered that the 30 second window to buy lockpicks from Armand was now closed. So I gave up on that mission and left to embark upon another quest when I got word that my rival found the diary and now I could steal it from her. I scrounged the city for one measly lockpick, which I found, and through an ingenious series of quicksaving combined with quickloading, I was able to use that to break into her hut, her treasure chest, and her heart. Not her heart so much.
