One of the mysterious systems that new players are discovering for the first time is Goblin Wars.
Each tribe has a military leader called a warchief, and a spiritual leader called a shaman.
The shaman protects the tribe’s sacred totem staff.
Most players will encounter this system in the side quest, Goblin Trouble.
However, every goblin tribe (except the Bitterfish) has a totem staff.
you’re able to also just murder every goblin if you’re not feeling sneaky.
Kuhlmann worked at Bethesda from 1996 to 2023, most recently working as a lead systems designer on Starfield.
Goblin tribes in Oblivion are fascinating.
If you slay their warchief, the goblins will eventually elect a new warchief.
However, killing their shaman turns the entire tribe passive.
Probably with some questionable design hackery.
“There wasn’t much else like it in Oblivion,” Kuhlmann reflected.
“Where you could freeform mess with the world state and have it react in an understandable way.
