then I went down a stairway and got owned by a guy with a green hood.

That's what you get for messing with Dr. Doom!

An Overboard reference!

BTW, for any TES game, the mantra "Save early, save often" is a necessity and have multiple save points because you never really know if something is going to go horribly wrong and you have to back up further than your last save. A buddy of mine was convinced to try Daggerfall out years ago. He played for a bit and saved. He ended up dead somewhere along the line and had to reload. Unfortunately his only save point was about 20 seconds before his character died of some horrible disease he didn't realize he had. He refused to try it again. =)

Edit: Bah, wrong Dr. Forgot the line was Dr. Death, not Dr. Doom. Bad me. The hints about saves though is still relevant.
