Endless Heists? Oblivion’s Thieves Guild Goes Infinite Thanks to Modder Magic!

Remember just last week when we raved about ColdTyrant’s awesome mod that basically turned Oblivion Remastered’s Dark Brotherhood into an endless contract-generating machine, complete with a wild gacha reward system? Well, hold onto your lockpicks, because ColdTyrant isn’t done yet. They’re back with Thieves Guild – Infinitum, applying the same genius idea to everyone’s favourite band of sneaky scoundrels, the Gray Fox’s crew.

Seriously, who knew we needed endless thieving opportunities in Oblivion until now? This mod basically injects infinite life into one of the game’s most beloved questlines, letting you live out your master thief fantasies without ever running out of jobs.

How Does It Work? Endless Heists on Demand!

Just like the Dark Brotherhood mod, Thieves Guild – Infinitum is all about generating new missions on the fly. Think of it like Skyrim’s radiant quests, but specifically for getting your hands on shiny things in the bustling cities of Cyrodiil instead of trudging through monster-infested caves.

ColdTyrant boasts a whopping “100 infinitely repeatable, randomly selected quests to obtain specific items for anonymous clients.” That means you’ll never know what gem or artifact you’ll need to snag next, keeping things fresh and exciting. It’s a far cry from finishing the main Thieves Guild quest and being left with no more juicy urban crawls.

Getting Your Sticky Fingers on Contracts and Rewards

So, how do you get in on this endless thieving action? It’s pretty straightforward:

• Grab your contracts: A new table appears in Dareloth’s Garden (that’s the Thieves Guild hangout in the Waterfront), where you’ll find envelopes containing your new assignments.
• Execute the heist: Head off into Cyrodiil’s cities and use your stealth and lockpicking skills to pilfer the required item.
• Make the drop: Find a designated drop box to stash your ill-gotten gains.

Once you’ve successfully deposited your loot, you’ll receive a leveled gold reward – the higher your character level (up to 30), the more coin you’ll pocket. But that’s not all! You’ll also earn a brand new currency called Fox’s Favor.

Fox’s Favor: More Than Just Pocket Change

Unlike the Dark Brotherhood mod, which had you feeding currency into a literal gacha scamp for rewards, Fox’s Favor in Thieves Guild – Infinitum is spent on things directly relevant to your life as a sneaky thief. You can exchange your hard-earned Favor for:

• Bounty Wipes: Got a guard chasing you? Pay some Favor and make your wanted level disappear!
• Infamy Reduction: Trying to clean up your reputation a bit? Fox’s Favor can help with that.
• Lockpicks: Never run out of those essential tools of the trade again.
• Special Gear: Access unique gear that will aid you in your thieving endeavours.

This system feels perfectly tailored to the Thieves Guild, offering practical benefits that enhance the gameplay loop and give you a tangible reason to keep running those infinite contracts.

Why These Mods Just ‘Get’ Oblivion

Let’s be real, one of the big reasons everyone remembers the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood so fondly isn’t just their compelling storylines; it’s that so many of their quests take place right in the heart of Oblivion’s cities. Sneaking into a shop after dark, pick pocketing guards, or infiltrating a noble’s mansion feels way more exciting and challenging than exploring yet another generic cave or ruin filled with the same old monsters.

While the “legitimate” guilds often send you out into the wilderness, these criminal factions keep you engaged with the game’s most dynamic and lived-in environments. Mods like Thieves Guild – Infinitum and Dark Brotherhood – Infinitum let you experience that fun, urban gameplay loop forever. Because honestly, who needs infinite monster slaying when you can have infinite heists?

More Infinite Fun From ColdTyrant

And if you *do* fancy some endless action outside of the shadows, ColdTyrant hasn’t forgotten about Skyrim’s other big guilds. They’ve also released Arena – Infinitum and Fighter’s Guild – Infinitum. So, whether you want to keep battling in the Arena or taking on contracts for the Fighter’s Guild long after you’ve become the big boss, ColdTyrant has you covered with endlessly repeatable quests.

Considering Oblivion doesn’t have official mod support like newer Bethesda titles, the creativity and dedication of modders like ColdTyrant are truly impressive. They’re not just adding new content; they’re fundamentally changing how we can experience and enjoy a classic RPG, ensuring its best parts can last forever. Get out there and start your endless thieving career!
