The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredis chocked-full with nostalgic sidequests that challenge the player in mind, patience, and skill. But many, like Paranoia, care less for combat and instead seek to ask a moral dilemma: what acts would a player be willing to commit for the promise of coin?
Although an easy sidequest, Paranoia asks for at least three in-game days of your time and your perceptive abilities. Whether you’re hoping to stop a madman or rake in some low-effort cash, you’ll want to make sure you’re taking the right steps when toeing the line with Skingrad’s most eccentric resident.

How To Begin The Paranoia Quest
To begin Paranoia, you’ll have tolocate Glarthir in Skingrad. Typically, he’s near his home justeast of the West Gateon the corner during the daylight hours.
If you speak to him, he’ll initially wave you off. However,instigating (or allowing Glarthir to instigate) conversation with him three timeswill result in an invitation to speak with him again behind the Great Chapel at midnight.

If, for any reason, any of the three characters associated with this quest are dead, you will not be able to start Paranoia.
The Great Chapel of Julianos is east of Glarthir’s home.Go around it(to the left of the front doors) until you’rebeneath the green stained glass window.

Wait until around midnight, and Glarthir will speak with you.
From here, you canaccept or deny Glarthir’s requestto follow Bernadette Peneles in exchange for gold.

If you refuse Glarthir here, he will attack and kill all three of the people he’ll ask you to investigate unless you stop him.
However, you do not need to fully investigate or follow the characters below. Simply waiting 24 hours each time will be enough to trigger Glarthir’s appearance and progression of the quest.

Where To Find Bernadette Peneles
Bernadette’s home is directly across the street from Glarthir’s home.She leaves her home every morning at 6 AM.
We recommend youhide behind the pillars across from her house, east of Glarthir’s door, for a good vantage point.

Bernadette will go topray in the Great Chapel until 7 AM. Afterward, her schedule will be random. She may:
At any point, you canspeak to Bernadette about Glarthir.She won’t initially want to talk to you, but you canpersuade her by increasing her disposition.

If Bernadette likes you enough, she’ll remark about Glarthir:
Well, I know he’s a bit odd, but I’ve always thought he was kind of sweet. Lately, though, he has been stranger than usual. I think maybe he’s been following me. I see him every morning on my way to Chapel. I’ve tried to say hello but he always pretends not to hear me.
At any point, if you’ve taken the time to talk to anyone about Glarthir,one of the guards, Dion, will approachto ask you why you’re looking into Garthir. You can:

This has little effect on the future, so you can say whatever you prefer.
After you’re satisfied with your information on Bernadette,return to the Great Chapel at midnightto inform Glarthir of what you’ve uncovered.

She wasn’t watching or following you.
You were right, she is following you.
He’llreward you 150 gold.
After choosing one of the options above, Glarthir will set you onthe next target: Toutius Sextius.
Where To Find Toutius Sextius
Toutius Sextius lives beside the East Gate on the corner. He’s a late riser, sohe won’t leave his house until around 10 AM.
Once departed,he crosses the East Bridge and exits the cityto head to the Castle County Hall for the day. He otherwise might go out into the fields and ride his horse.

If youask Toutius about Glarthir,he’ll remark:
I’m sorry, but I don’t think I know any Glarthir. Wait, do you mean that strange Wood Elf that you see wandering around the city? Yes, I’ve seen him, but never spoken to him. He seems to be at the Low Gate every morning when I pass by on my way to the castle. Gives me the strangest looks, now that you mention it. Almost like he hates me, although I have no idea why.
Like with Bernadette, return to the area behind the Great Chapel at midnight tospeak with Glarthir again.
Glarthir will be surprised.He will give you 150 gold.
Toutius Sextius is spying on you.
Glarthir will write his name down in the Death List.He will give 200 gold.
If you told Glarthir that both Bernadette and Toutius are not spying on him,he will grow suspicious of you.
Regardless, he will give you the final target name: David Surilie.
Where To Find David Surilie
David livesin the house beside Glarthir, just north and down the hill on the right. You can get a good view of things from thestaircase of the house across the street.
He’ll leave his house at 6 AMand travel to work at Surilie Brothers' Vineyards. He’s a terrible farmer because he tills the same spot until noon, where he retires to his home for the day.
Return to Glarthirfor the final choice:
David Surilie is not spying on you.
Glarthir will be surprised.He will give you 150 goldif the player has accused one other personor attackif they have not.
No reward; Glarthir will insist you investigate.
You were right. He was spying on you.
All Possible Endings: Should I Side With Glarthir Or Betray Him?
If you choose not to accuse any of the people Glarthir had you spy on, thequest is guaranteed to end with him attacking you.
Running out to the guards, the guards will side with you and help you fight him. You canloot his body afterfor his home key to gain a few trinkets for yourself as a reward.
However, if you choose to accuse any of the three,Glarthir will create a Death Listwith the names of his targets.
When he asks you to kill the names on the list,you can choose to:
If you wish to kill the names on the list, you’ll have your work cut out for you:
Best assassinated in her home at night; she lives alone.
Toutius Sextius
Best killed when walking on the empty road between the gate and the castle. Beware the guards at the top of the hill.
Davide Surilie
Although best killed in his home, his brother makes things tricky. It will need to be killed within one or two hits while sleeping. Guards can hear his shouting, putting a bounty on you immediately if he makes a sound.
For your successful efforts,Glarthir will give you 1,000 gold.
If you don’t want to murder innocent civilians but don’t want to fight Glarthir yourself,you have two choices:
Either way, the informed parties will track down Glarthir and kill him themselves.You’ll receive no immediate rewardfor doing this other than Glarthir’s loot and one Fame point.
Any gold you did not receive from Glarthir can be foundin his house in the wastebasket on the ground floor.
Showing Bernadette or Toutius will result in them simply telling you to show the list to the guards.
