Oblivion's Cut Courier Career

Oblivion’s Cut Courier Career

If you enjoy Oblivion lore and cut content, then you'll love this investigation into one of the game’s most easily overlooked omissions: a fully planned courier career that never survived to release. Triggered by a fleeting in-game notification: “Do you need couriers?”, this video follows the trail of evidence left behind in Oblivion’s files, NPC schedules, unused dialogue, and scripts pointing to a lost Imperial Express questline run through the Black Horse Courier. We’ll explore how Imperial City citizens still follow phantom routines to post letters that never exist, how the Unofficial Oblivion Patch later scrubbed much of this behaviour away, and what datamining reveals about how the system was meant to work. From developer leftovers and community sleuthing to a fun fan theory and restoration mod that resurrects the questline, this is the story of a cut career path that survived only as traces, and yet how those traces - however slight - became part of Oblivion’s wider cut-content lore.
