The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion - How to Repent

You can repent by paying off your bounty and going on the Pilgrimage in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered. Read on to learn how to repent in-game, and when to repent here!

How to Repent

Pay Off Your Bounty

The quickest way to repent is to pay off a bounty. You can clear your bounties by either paying a Thieves Guild Doyen, paying the bounty to the guards, or serving your jail sentence. To access the Altars of the Nine Divines or join the Fighters Guild or Mages Guild, you must have no bounty on your record.

How to Pay Off Bounty

Pray at All Nine Divine Wayshrines

If you have too much Infamy, which prevents you from using Altars or joining guilds, you’ll need to complete the Pilgrimage of the Nine Divines to reset your Infamy to 0. This quest requires you to visit all nine Wayshrines of the Divines scattered across Cyrodiil.

When to Repent?

When You Need to Use an Altar of the Nine

Altar of the Nine

Altars of the Nine cannot be used if you have an active bounty or if your Infamy score is higher than your Fame score. These are useful since they can cure disease, restore attributes, and heal your HP.

Joining the Fighters Guild or Mages Guild

Similarly, you cannot join the Fighters Guild or Mages Guild if you have an active bounty or your Infamy is over 100. Settle your bounty or Infamy issues so you can join these guilds and play their questlines, which also reward you with significant Fame points.

Check Bounty and Infamy Levels in Character Menu

You can check your current bounty, along with your Fame and Infamy stats, in the Character tab of the pause menu to keep track.
