Ah.
I've actually been meaning to do a playthrough like that in Skyrim.
Before the game came out I was talking about playing as a man, who doesn't get involved in any of these storyline or quest worries. A simple man who works as a woodcutter, and sometimes drinks a little too much, beats his wife, and ends up having to spend the night in the prison.
Did they have these odd jobs like mining, woodcutting, and stuff in Oblivion like they do in Skyrim, or is that new?
I might do a playthrough of that since I just bought Oblivion GOTY.
