Ok, so I talked to the shrine of Molag Bal and he tells me to get this guy to kill me with a cursed mace. The problem is that the guy who's supposed to kill me won't even fight anymore because his wife died while he was out fighting or something. Has anybody completed this quest already or do you have the guide? help would be much appreciated.

by the way, I already bribed him to 100 disposition and stuff but he still won't kill me with the mace.

"Kill me, kill me please! Molag Bal told me to get you to kill me. Hey, what are you doing guard? NOOOOOO"

wow... that was a LOT of help; thanks

I dont have it yet, its coming in the mail along with the guide...

I would suggest pissing the guy off... In Morrowind you could cast an frenzy humanoid spell or taunt someone and eventually piss the guy off.

I imagine its like fighting your brother. He might not hit you if you ask him nicely, but calling him a donkey raping poo eater will get results...

he he...

So I guess, does Oblivion include a function to PISS PEOPLE OFF??

That would be odd...

It does, you use the lower disposition parts of the speech minigame.

Did you try um, you know, stabbing him?

Yes, I tried stabbing him, punching him, casting spells at him and everything. I even tried the frenzy spell but all he says is "I will never raise a sword again" and he just stands there

Kill his wife and friends?
Destroy the town?
Sell him insurance?

Tell him that he may kill himself after killing you?
Revive his wife and ask to be killed as your reward?
Get someone else to kill you with said mace?
Find his evil twin to do it?
Try a command humanoid spell? (It was there in Morrowind. Never tried it, so I don't know what orders you can give to a commanded person or even if it is in Oblivion for that matter.)
Become a famous outlaw that threatens to terrorize everything he cares for if he doesn't strike you down?
Get a written order to kill you from his former captain or some other high ranking army dude?
Get him to fight someone else and then "accidently" walk in front of him?
Tell Molag Bal that he can stick that mace where his gasses exit his body?

Sorry, I'm just saying things at random. It might give you some ideas though. I don't have Oblivion, so I have no idea how exactly the speech thing works now. (Will take a long time waiting. Oh well, at least I'll get a version that has been patched to the limit. )

If you are still stumped, go near his wife's grave, drop the mace, and punch him. He'll pick up the mace and kill you.

Is that seriously how you do it or are you just making that up?

Seriously, that's how you do it. He gets pissed because you defamed the holy ground his wife lies on and goes to pick up the nearest weapon. If your mace is nearest, he'll pick it up.
