The Elder Scrolls: 10 Best Storylines That Should Be Turned Into Movies

10. A Brush With Death - Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

If The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion had one message to its players, it was: there is no quest too outlandish or ridiculous that it won't try and put in and make playable.

A Brush With Death stands out even with that motto, beginning in Cheydinhal after the player hears rumours of a local painter going missing. Investigating the painter's house and talking to his wife will reveal to players that the painter, a Dark Elf named Rythe, had locked himself in his studio and not come back out.

Investigating further into Rythe's studio will end up with players being sucked into one of the painter's paintings, transporting them to a world resembling Cyrodiil, but with a special art style unlike anything found in any other mission in the world of the Elder Scrolls.

With magic paintbrushes, a whole new world with a whole new art style, colourful characters, this quest feels genuinely special. It feels even more special when you gain the ability to let a whole load of troll paintings loose on the streets of one of Cyrodiil's busiest cities.

There is so much that makes this one of the most unique and memorable side quests in Bethesda's history, and would be great to see brought to live on the big screen.
