Surreal!
19 years ago
Ok, so I'm playing Oblivion ... yes, STILL ... and I'd just collected enough random enchanted crap to achieve complete invisibility with a 110% chameleon effect. So I'm wandering around in the west weild, attacking random bandits and watching them go "AAAGH!! ... must've been the wind", when I find this isolated house. Not marked on the map on anything. So I go inside, murderize the two bandits there, don't find anything of interest, and leave. But as soon as the outer world loads, I get a message saying I've found an oblivion gate! I turn around and HOLY SHIT the house I was just in is a smoldering shell with a gate right in the center!
... Ok, so maybe it's not that surreal. But I'm alarmingly tired, so I figured I'd write it down before my mind files it away in a battered crate, never to see the light of day again.
Look! Flying mouse pixies riding combine harvesters! WHEE!

Doesn't have episode 2 on there yet though.
I'm serious. :)
By the way, did you get my note? I can never be sure of anything anymore, what with FA spazzing out.
as for the house in the woods... the Oblivion gate had already popped up by the time I made it there in my first run through the game. I saw it in the middle of that house, and saw the charred bodies on the ground, and my first thought was, "those poor woodland folks..."
found the house intact on my 2nd run through the game (before the Oblivion gate opened), and went inside to meet the folks... Bandit lair.
don't feel sorry for them now, that's for sure
and I just might stop by that house again, to see if I can make the Oblivion gate appear right after I leave it, just like you did XD
People who say "must be the wind" when they are getting turned into an arrow pincushion are not too bright. Also, it's normal to talk to your buddy, leave him for a minute and then find him dead on your return "must have been the rats, freaky big rats !"
I _finally_ finished Oblivion myself, took about 120 hours (almost every questline included, not Dark Brotherhood). I see no point in going to collect any new stuff, as there really isn't anything to collect anymore ... :P
