Ha! I have a funny story relating to mudcrabs:

I just started playing ESIV: Oblivion, and was around the Imperial Mote when I turn around a rock near the water to find at least 5 mudcrabs. I thought that they weren't a threat so I just shot one. When I did, the music changed and the started walking toward me. So I became startled from this and walked backward, away from the mote, into the grassy area to get range for my bow. Then a wolf comes out of nowhere and attacks me (BTW this is at night), making things more frightening. Now I, seeing the wolf as the bigger threat lose track of the mudcrabs as I backed away from the wolf and into the mob of mudcrabs... >.< Ouch.

Then there is the quest where you have to find out where the Bosmer shop keeper gets his supplies cause he is selling so cheap. When he and the other dude meet up in that courtyard, it took me forever to find the right place where they begin to start talking. I finally "accidentally" found it from running from bush to tree to another bush, then they started the conversation.

I am guessing that you hadn't become a ninja at this point.

Nope. I just started playing and was a Bowman. (You can see the Bowman class on my profile.)

Yeah, I know that quest. I thought it was pretty cool. It's pretty funny how when you are secretly listening to their conversation, you are right in front of their face and they don't notice your there.

The dadric quest for morag bal. You go find this old man, goad him into fighting you, then you can't fight back. At level 17, the lowest level you can't complete this quest, this guy takes forever to take you down. If you breath on this guy too hard he will go down. Its like fighting Mr. Burns. Top it off the price, mace of morag bal is pretty much worthless except to sell or give to martin. The magical effect of strenfth absorbtion 5 pts for 0 seconds does absolutely nothing.

I agree. I got this quest with my character Tom a while ago, but I just recently completed it. It's not a very fun quest. In fact, I did it as a level 42 and I had to just stand there for about 10 minutes or so, just letting him hit me with the Cursed Mace until he finally did enough damage to my health that I could tele-transport back to the shrine. Also, I think they could have done a better job at making it clear to the player that you have to drop the Cursed Mace in front of him before he starts attacking you. Otherwise, he'll just kill you and you will have wasted 10 minutes of watching this guy punch you to death, only to realize that you didn't complete the quest properly.
