Oblivion Remaster Factions Guide: Every Faction in Oblivion Remaster, Their Quests and How To Join
3591
In the remastered version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, every player can choose their own path — from a noble wizard to a stealthy assassin — and joining a guild offers the best opportunities for character development. Each guild provides unique quests, rare artifacts, and even access to forbidden knowledge.
This guide will tell you where to find each guild in the game, what requirements must be met to join, and what to expect from the faction’s internal hierarchy.
How to Join a Guild in TES IV Oblivion Remastered
When joining factions, there are several important things to keep in mind. Your current rank and guild membership can be found on the fourth tab of the character menu. Some factions require you to meet specific conditions and complete a special quest before you can join. While faction representatives can be found throughout Cyrodiil, you’ll need to locate a particular NPC to become a member. Keep in mind that breaking a faction’s rules can lead to expulsion, and regaining membership afterward is extremely difficult. However, you are allowed to be part of all available factions at the same time, though some of them are only temporary.
Where to Find All Guilds in TES IV Oblivion Remastered and How to Join Them
There are a total of 15 factions in the game, roughly divided into three categories:
- Story-Related — factions you encounter as part of various quests.
- Major — well-known clans with extensive questlines.
- Secret — hidden groups with limited functionality.
Below, we’ll break down how to join each of these guilds:

Which Guild is Best to Join in TES IV Oblivion Remastered?
If you're starting a new playthrough and unsure which faction to join first, use these recommendations based on your character's specialization:
- Warriors – combat.
- Rogues – stealth.
- Mages – magic.
The table below highlights the best guilds where it's easiest and most effective to develop your starting character:
Faction Name | Suitable For | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arena | Warrior, Mage | Easy earnings on low difficulty. Simple linear quest progression. Gain useful combat experience against various enemies. | No worthwhile rewards except for money. Routine battles replace the plot. It's difficult to reach the end on high difficulty without proper equipment. |
| Fighters' Guild | Warrior | Variety of tasks. Rewards include artifacts. Good discounts on training, goods, and repairs. | Often the quality of final rewards doesn’t justify the effort. Some missions on high difficulty are hard to complete under ideal conditions. A lot of traveling required. |
| Mages' Guild | Mage | Ability to create custom artifacts and spells. Access to a wide range of magic. Useful magical artifacts as rewards. | Hard to earn from quests. Long questline to unlock the Magic University. Requires many rare resources to get the most out of it. |
| Thieves' Guild | Rogue | Access to fences and useful themed items. Ability to pay half the price to remove current fines. Relatively quick way to become wealthy. | Requires high levels of stealth, lockpicking, and pickpocketing. Increased chance of legal troubles. Strict requirements for completing tasks. |
| Dark Brotherhood | Rogue | Very interesting story-based quests. Extremely useful items for completing contracts. Access to unique goods. | Difficult additional contract objectives. Plot twists can disrupt the player's plans. Strong influence on character karma. |
These tips are primarily aimed at beginners – experienced gamers can benefit from any faction regardless of their character class.
Can You Join Multiple Guilds or Factions in TES IV Oblivion Remastered?
Is it possible to join multiple factions at once? In the world of Oblivion Remastered, where there is a wide variety of factions offering unique benefits and exciting storylines, the ability to join different organizations is an important part of the game. Players can freely join multiple factions, not being limited to just one, and develop their character in various ways. To see which factions you belong to, open the character menu and go to the factions section. However, be cautious — violating the principles of a faction may lead to your expulsion, either temporarily or permanently. Otherwise, enjoy the opportunity to explore and engage with the many factions in the game.
