Do you get your stuff back after the Forsworn conspiracy?
The Forsworn conspiracy is a significant event in the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that can be quite unsettling for the player character. But what happens to their belongings after escaping the conspiracy? Let’s dive into the details and find out.
Cooperating with the Forsworn
If you cooperate with the Forsworn leader, Madanach, and escape Cidhna Mine, you’ll get your non-quest items back from his inventory. However, you’ll have to make sure to leave Cidhna Mine with him before your escape. This means you won’t be able to retrieve your items after being taken to the prison, but only after successfully escaping.
Failing to cooperate with the Forsworn
If you don’t cooperate with Madanach, you’ll have to submit to being taken to jail. In this case, your items will be confiscated by the guards. You’ll only get them back once you’ve escaped from prison. You can also retrieve them from the item chest in your cell.
Escaping with Madanach
What happens if you manage to escape Cidhna Mine with Madanach? In this case, your non-quest items will be returned to you. This is the best possible outcome, as you’ll retain all your possessions.
Items left in the Mine
Unfortunately, there are some items you can’t retrieve even after escaping Cidhna Mine. Some items, such as those in chests or dropped by NPCs, are permanently lost. Be sure to loot all chests and containers before making your escape.
Items returned to the Inventory
As mentioned earlier, you’ll get your non-quest items back once you’ve escaped Cidhna Mine, regardless of whether you cooperated with Madanach or not. All items except quest-specific ones will be restored to your inventory.
Item Chests
Item chests in Cidhna Mine will contain a few important items. These chests are always stocked with the same items, regardless of whether you cooperated with the Forsworn or not. If you choose to escape with Madanach, you’ll get these items without having to retrieve them from the chest.
The Bottom Line
In summary:
• Cooperating with the Forsworn: non-quest items are returned to your inventory when escaping Cidhna Mine.
• Failing to cooperate: items are confiscated by guards and must be retrieved from the item chest in your cell after escaping prison.
• Escaping with Madanach: non-quest items are returned to your inventory.
• Permanently lost items: some items dropped by NPCs or found in chests will not be recovered.
• Item Chests: the contents of chests are always the same and will be stocked with items even if you escape with Madanach.
By understanding these outcomes, you’ll be better prepared for the consequences of your choices in the Forsworn conspiracy.
