The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition (2009)

Game freeze
I'm having an issue with the game locking up at a certain point of a quest. I can't remember the name of the quest right now, but it's at the point you go into the Mythic Dawn hideout and turn over all your gear and recieve a Mythic Dawn robes. During my conversation when I decide to hand it over the game locks up on me and I have to force close everytime. I have a small issue with this happening too every time I exit the level up screen, but I just have to wait a minute and everything gets going again. This other one doesn't ever respond though. I've let it sit for a good 10-15 min and it's still stuck on the same screen. I've got a pretty decent machine so that's not the issue.

Anyone else having a similar problem or know a way to fix it?

Not familiar with the quest, but could be one of the many "sometimes happens" bugs in the game.

Do you run the unofficial patches from the Nexus[oblivion.nexusmods.com] ? They have sorted out all manor of glitches for me.

Edit :

They are on the second and third lines of the results on the link above.

That is toward the middle of the Main Quest.
If you have a lot of special items from mods, it is best to leave them behind somewhere secure because you loose them when you get the Mythic Dawn Robe. Just go in with the basic vanilla items.
Yep, you have a big battle to win before you get your items back. So if you cannot win that battle, you need to level up some more to where you can win a big melee battle with just a dagger, spells and weapons captured from kills in the current battle. Kill the one with the Lightning Staff first.
That Mythic Dawn Lair Battle is another reason I suggest that your character should be at least Level 12 before beginning the Main Quest.
BTW, I think it might be magical items without any lore that may cause the crash. That or an over encumbrance of the guy taking your items. The Arrows Way Nothing Mod might contribute to that.

Man I never trusted that sob to give him all my hard earned items. I just destroy them all, especially the ones that run away. =D

The game will crash if you are wearing bound armor. Maybe other items cause the same problem. Try stripping down completely before you talk to him. Maybe try leaving any suspect equipment or items in storage.

Thanks for the tips.

I'm not running any mods right now. Everything I have is from the game. The over-burden idea aint too bad, I'll find a place to store stuffs before I try again.

I also have some quest items in my inventory and maybe the whole "can't remove quest items" thing might have something to do with it.

Anyway, thanks again for the input and I'll try messing around with what's in my inventory and see if that helps.
