So you're telling me, after all these years; none of the prisoners that have been in that cell happened to touch/push on that one chest-high brick... Opening the path to their freedom?

Also; when they went to leave and realized there was a prisoner in the cell: absolutely 0 questions about who they are, why they're in prison/what their crimes are... Just 'fuck it' let them tag along, effectively unsupervised, behind the group, collecting weapons, in the perfect position to ambush the Emperor?

The blades don't seem very good at their jobs... It's a wonder the Emperor made it as far as he did.

it's been a while since oblivion but don't they say that the cell is supposed to be kept empty? also i think you only get to tag along because he emperor says so.

You're right; they do say "This cell is supposed to be off limits", and then there's the emperors big talk about fate with you.

I had to go watch the beginning again to remember.

Shit that should cause even more red flags for all the reasons you already started. I think it's a good argument.

The cell is off limits, so who is this prisoner and why in oblivion is he here!?

They don't hold the Emperor back and go ahead to address the situation? They just waltz him right in there.
