imperial guard

When people refer to "Imperial Guards" in the context of the video game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, they're generally talking about the city watch within the Imperial City, or more broadly, the Imperial Legion soldiers. Here's a breakdown of key aspects: * Imperial City Watch: * These guards are responsible for maintaining law and order within the Imperial City. * There are variations, such as the Imperial Prison Guards, who have specific duties within the prison district. * They are known for their vigilance and their role in enforcing the laws of the Empire. * Imperial Legion: * The broader Imperial Legion represents the military force of the Empire. * They are encountered throughout Cyrodiil, dealing with threats like bandits and the Oblivion Crisis itself. * Gameplay Aspects: * Players cannot officially join the city watch or the Imperial Legion in Oblivion without the use of mods. * The guards and legionnaires scale in difficulty with the player's level, making them consistently challenging opponents. * People do often try to steal the guards armor, and "pretend" to be a guard. In essence, "Imperial Guards" in Oblivion are a core part of the game's world, representing the authority and military might of the Empire.
