Sanguine

How to complete the Sanguine quest without penalty?
I'm afraid to get another bug due to prison or a fine. It is written on the forums that it is theoretically possible, but I do not understand exactly how. The invisibility potion doesn't help, neither does the chameleon.

Don't forget to read the Notes and Bugs sections carefully (and make sure you have the Unofficial Oblivion Patch installed).

Unofficial Oblivion Patch?
No no thanks)

[lonetrav]

It's up to you. But it does fix a lot of bugs (without changing the gameplay and its mechanics).
And several bugs of the Sanguine quest in particular (read the uesp description of this quest).
If you don't use it, you'll have to live with the bugs (or perhaps use the console? - although I wonder why someone would use the console, but not the UOP).

Well, thank you! I read the uesp on your advice and realized that I was drinking the invisibility potion in the wrong order. The problem is solved. Thanks again.

You're welcome.
But consider using the UOP (read the description first, of course). It's the only patch / mod I always use (plus the one for Shivering Isles when I play this expansion). It's not absolutely necessary (as far as I know, you can complete the main quest without - I never tried it myself), but saves trouble and frustration in many areas and quests.
Any particular reason why you don't want to use the UOP? I'm just curious.

I've been playing for quite some time now, so I'm afraid that if I change something in the game files, it might break it.
One time when I had a problem with another quest I was looking at one of the forums and it said that the patch fixed 1 bug but added a new one. I think it can be with other quests as well.
I'm not sure, but it seems that the patch changes the text of some dialogues, I want to read the original texts as much as possible.

Thanks - understandable.
Well, without the UOP you're very likely to run into problems with quests - don't be surprised.
On the other hand, you can always visit uesp when you have a problem with a quest, bug or not. And the UOP is still there as a very last resort before giving up (if uesp says the UOP fixes a problem you can't solve). And you don't have to complete all quests. Not even the main quest - I spend much more time playing Oblivion without ever touching the main quest than playing the main quest.

Have fun!
