Regarding side quests in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, sometimes they are chained together, and unlocking one quest depends on completing another. This is also the case with Sins of the Father, a fairly easy quest with valuable rewards that are not available right off the bat.
Before you can unlock Sins of the Father, there are two other side quests to complete. And regarding how they activate access to Sins of the Father, many players might not even notice how things are intertwined with each other.
Oblivion Remastered: 7 Best Items To Get Early
Each of these items that players pick up in the early stages of Oblivion Remastered will help make their first steps in the campaign go more smoothly.
Separated At Birth Quest Walkthrough
This is the first quest towards Sins of the Father. Head inside the city of Chorrol from the Southern Gate. You should see a square with a giant statue upon entering, take a right from there, and then enter the first building on your right, The Grey Mare Inn.
Inside the inn, at the far corner, there is a man named Reynald Jemane, wearing green clothes. Talk to him to activate the side quest.
Now, leave Chorrol and head to the city of Cheydinhal on the far east side of the map. Enter the city from the Western Gate. It's best to get there when it's night and everyone is sleeping.
Upon entering the city gates, there's the Newlands Inn on the left. Enter the inn and go upstairs to find a man sleeping on a bed with green clothing. Talk to him and tell him about Reynald.
Now, head back to The Grey Mare Inn in Chorrol again and wait for the brothers to greet each other. Once finished, talk to Guilbert to unlock the next quest, Legacy Lost.
Legacy Lost Quest Walkthrough
After talking to Guilbert about Weatherleah, the Legacy Lost quest will be activated. Agree to help them defeat ogres and then head to the location marked on the map above. This location will not be visible to you on the map before you discover it.
Once you reach Weatherleah, there will be three Ogres around the house. Kill them all and then enter the house if you like. Now, return to the Grey Mare Inn inside Chorrol and report to Guilbert. If you have already killed all the ogres, Guilbert will ask you to escort him and his brother to the house; otherwise, he will send you back to kill the remaining ogres.
After escorting the brothers to the house, the quest will come to an end.
Oblivion Remastered: Where to Buy Alteration Spells
Some spells in Oblivion Remastered allow you to alter the world around you to your benefit. Here is where to obtain alteration spells.
Sins Of The Father Walkthrough
After completing the Legacy Lost, go back to Chorrol, rent a bed in The Grey Mare Inn, and sleep for more than 48 hours. You should spend two in-game days after Legacy Lost to unlock Sins of the Father. So, do some other quests if you don't want to just sleep.
After 48 hours, wait for the morning. Around 9 AM, head to the square with the giant statue near the Southern Gate of Chorrol. On the west side of the square, there is a building named Oak and Crosier.
An NPC named Fathis Ules will come out of that building and automatically engage in a conversation with you. So, just wait for him to come out. Fathis will talk about the Jemane family, saying their father has stolen something from him. Agree to help Fathis, and he will set a location on the map for you south of Chorrol.
Head to the location and prepare to fight several ogres. Enter the dungeon and follow the marker. Use the images above to navigate to the final room, where the final ogre is located. Kill the enemy and loot the 
Honorblade of Chorrol off its body. Now, return to Chorrol again.
How To Get The Escutcheon Of Chorrol Shield
After obtaining the sword, you have two different choices to make to end the quest. Once inside Chorrol, you will realize that two different markers are available for the quest.
The first choice is to return the sword to Fathis, and he will give you 1,500 coins in return as the quest's reward. This action also locks you out of a secondary reward that you could receive from the Jemane brothers.
The other path you can take is to deliver the sword to the Chorrol Castle. Originally, the sword did not belong to Fathis, and he had ordered Albert Jemane to steal it for him. So, if you want to return the sword to where it belongs, you should give it to the castle.
Head inside the castle and talk to the man named Wavrick. Hand over the sword to him, and he will reward you with the Escutcheon of Chorrol shield.
The good news is that the shield is worth over 4,000 coins. So, even if you don't like the shield, you can still earn more coins by just selling it than giving the sword to Fathis.
Now, the final part of the quest will task you to talk to the Jemane brothers and let them know of their father's wrongdoings. Being a hothead, Reynald will reject what the player says, but if you have given the Honorblade to the Chorrol Castle, Guilbert will indeed believe your words about his father's past, rewarding you with 4x Grand Soul Gems as the final reward of this mission.
