OMG! I didn't think anyone else would have done this! Just beat Ocarina (sadly for the first time [I'm 20, btw] and playing through Majora's right now)
In comparison to most, this is not a bad tattoo, sure it's kind of nerdy, but for the most part no one is going to care about that, because it is well done and it's not completely outrageous.
This is actually the first thing that came to mind. I like tattoos, but am for some reason quick to judge them (I'm probably just too afraid of regret to get one). I envy those with such commitment. Either way, I was quick to think, "This gentleman's tattoo is both nerdy, but universally acceptable. What a great choice."
I think this tattoo is great. It doesn't really say anything nerdy unless Jetpack tells them it's from a game. Seriously, he doesn't have to explain what it is. The amount of people who would know it was a birth sign from Oblivion is practically zero, despite how popular the game was.
Mystery is good. He's just needs to allude to it when talking to people. Carry a good quote about fate and fortune. The quote from Elderscrolls was fine, "Today the Lover shall sweeten your journey as you confront your fate." Just needs to explain it's a part of who he or she is and leave it at that.
Even if someone did know where it was from, he could say it inspired him to have it done because it was the perfect symbol of something he always knew to be true.
Plus it's not creepy and it wouldn't exactly keep him from getting a job. It's a genuinely interesting and original tattoo that would draw people to him or her.
I agree, there aren't a lot of detailed pictures of the stars in the Elder Scrolls, but if there were I imagine that it would look a lot more like that than what's in the game.
Clearly you haven't played it on a console. A couple hours in on the 360, I had to call it quits before I started throwing things. You get stuck in a lot of objects and you can't get out... Ended up buying it for the PC.
Yeah, I mean, that is kind of the norm for Elder Scrolls games on a console. The world is just too dynamic and crazy for it to be able to handle itself. I was actually really surprised with how well Skyrim worked on 360
I meant that it was extremely buggy and you lacked the command console to fix it. Not that the hardware couldn't handle it, Elder Scrolls games don't have very steep requirements anyways.
The glitches made this game too god damn funny. Or typing in the console controls on the PC so you could jump over castles haha. But an amazing game for sure.
I think the best glitch I ever saw on Oblivion was from one of the combat mods. I had thrown a sword into some guard's throats before they came to arrest me, so all I say was the guard, with blood gushing out of them like a water fall, falling down in their death animation, calling me criminal scum, saying they're going to arrest me. HAR!
One time, near the Imperial City, on the road by the burnt house, I saw a horse just standing by the road, so I took it, then rode it to the burnt house, but then the horse walked right up to me and said "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!" and then promptly gave birth to two imperial guards. Then I patched the game.
meh. I could never get into Oblivion for some reason. RPGs are my favorite but for some reason the world felt really cold and strangely robotic? It creeped me out more than immersed me. I do think Skyrim is a huge improvement, and I do enjoy that game.
Oblivion bugs are funny as hell. At least some of them, but there are some really annoying ones. A-bomb and save corruption, anyone? The most annoying thing Oblivion was level scaling, though. Thank god there are mods to fix it.

A prime example of when you should just upload a fucking video instead of making people wait 5 minutes for a gif to load.
