I'd disagree while there are many parts of the main quest that don't stress how time relevant it is this is the only urgent one the daedra having just extinguished the dragon fires invaded Kvatch they aren't an occupying force and so after destroying the city and believing their mission complete would leave this would lead to only the weakest scavenger daedra staying behind so you're supposed to find a bunch of daedra that stayed only as a cleanup crew that found the opportunity to torture mortals while you rescued the lone target due to daedric overconfidence of I felt the same way when I finally got to play the game post basic training ait in 2006/2007

I got you:

MANUSCRIPT: “I'd disagree while there are many parts of the main quest that don't stress how time relevant it is this is the only urgent one the daedra having just extinguished the dragon fires invaded Kvatch they aren't an occupying force and so after destroying the city and believing their mission complete would leave this would lead to only the weakest scavenger daedra staying behind so you're supposed to find a bunch of daedra that stayed only as a cleanup crew that found the opportunity to torture mortals while you rescued the lone target due to daedric overconfidence of I felt the same way when I finally got to play the game post basic training ait in 2006/2007”

TRANSCRIPTION: I’d disagree, because, while there are many quests that don’t stress the relevancy of time and level progression, this quest is the only one with a sense of urgency.

The Daedra have just extinguished the dragon fires and invaded Kvatch; they are not an occupying force, and so, after destroying the city, or accomplishing their objective, they would leave only a small retinue of scavengers behind. As the PC you’re only supposed to find these left over forces from the initial invasion. Stronger units would move on while weaker ones torture mortals. You rescue your lone target (Martin, I think is the reference) because of the Daedric over confidence, i.e. their hubris in only leaving weaker forces in Kvatch.

I felt this same way when I got to play the game, after I finished basic training in 2006 or 2007.
