The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered

Should You Join the Blades?

Add to Watchlist

The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered Should You Join the Blades
Players should always join the Blades in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered. Check out what you get for joining the Blades, and if there are any downsides for not doing so.

Should You Join the Blades?

Yes to Get Free Stuff

Joining the Blades Differences
It's recommended to always join the Blades since there are no downsides when doing so. Joining them also allows you to loot most of the items inside Cloud Ruler Temple, as well as getting a free horse and place to sleep.

Doesn't Work Like Other Factions

Thief Faction
As a note, the Blades are different from other factions in that you only join them in name, and there's no faction-specific questline tied to it. Although, it could be argued that the Main Quest is their questline, it can still be completed without players even joining them.
