I always wondered... why the ''great champion of the fighter guild'' wears full Iron? is he allergic to ebony? And why why why does Jauffre looks like my school Janitor? Why do ppl dont mind when you take all the food on theyr table but you accidently steal a fork they go frenzy? Why are the interieur windows always sky blue, even if its raining outside? Why is there an Invisible barrier blocking access to another province? Dont they like each other? or is it some sort of divine message telling you " You cant go that way". Why do you have to click on an oblivion gate to enter yet you can simple jump trough it? Why are imps and minotaurs naked? Some questions are better left unaswered...

My stupid opinion for Tiberiu

The great champion is dumb!
Your school janitor has a clone
The fork is a very powerful thing indeed, if you want to master it go to yoda
They painted the windows
Magical barrier!
The gates are really big buttons
Imps are naked to show off their six packs
Minotaurs are naked because they are!

I hope they answer your questions

Woah! The funny part is that it ACCUALLY makes sense... What happens when you push your companion from the top of an oblivion gate opener tower all the way to the spikes? Last time I did this, Ruined-Tail didnt die, he simply lost conciosnes due to his immortal essential gift, so for fun I tried again, but I fell instead, and the Nine did not offer that essential npc gift to me. You can guess the rest.

Well, seeing as it's almost gone, I guess the Ayleids and older men/mer/beasts/orcs used it as the Nirn version of marijuana. However, now, they have enough sense to not copy other planets' ideas for drugs (yay for Skooma)!

LMAO!
Like you can on Fable, once i had my tough Warrior character on Fable and i went to a shop and wanted some smart normal clothes, so i saw - Smart Dress- and i thought it was just like smart clothes if you know what i mean? So when i equiped it, my huge warrior was standing there in a lilac dress!
.....Why can you buy dresses anyway? ya can't even play as a woman on the game! How odd

i guess Oblivion producers and Bethesda Softworks aren't friendly to crossdressing men, lol! But would they ever have done it then anyway....just imagine Uriel Septim in his chambers at night putting on some lingerie!!

Why can't you weild anything as a weapon? That would be fun; a Daedra running towards you so you grab your best pair of clogs, and wack him about the noggin' with them.

Lol once for fun, I stood in the place where the assassin pops out. and he popped out but I was blocking the way + I had my controls blocked so he stabbed me a few times so I fell and he killed Uriel.

I've tried... the assassin dies and the emperor stands then Baurus runs in and goes like "oh talos..." While the emperor is standing there. I think it screwed the quest up i forgot how but I had to reload.

Because he's too much of a hardcore butt-kicking street fighter. If he were to go around in anything better than Iron, it wouldn't be fair for the bad guys.

Same deal with the Black Hand. Them there folks strut around in robes, yet are the most feared of the Brotherhood.

Why is there only one person who wants to take over the world (First initial: M Last: C)? I'm pretty sure he's not the only one (well, MD, but he's not a person) who wants to take over Tamriel, Nirn even. It would make sense if there were a few dictators and their armies preparing for globilization (sp?).

I have another one, which is 95% joke, 5% is serious:

Why doesn't the Mages' Guild go to Thras? And why doesn't Manimarco...

(SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER TURN BACK IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS)

...look like a Sload when you have to kill him?

In Alessia Ottus' Guide to Cheydinhal, she describes the watercourse running through the city as the Corbolo River. Yet in the map it is clear that the Reed River, a tributary to the Corbolo, is what is flowing through Cheydinhal.

The Corbolo drains from Lake Poppad. The Reed drains from Lake Arrius. That much is certain. How did Mrs. Ottus get this wrong?

Obviously they changed the names of the rivers just to spite Mrs. Ottus. You've read her guides, it was only time before someone did.
Rhydderch Hael
We should recommend to all new players that they sit down and read all the Guides before ever setting foot in one of Cyrodiil's cities. Let their first impression conveyed by the books clash with their perceptions of the places once they actually get there.

Those people would appreciate finding out for themselves just how much Alessia Ottus' works are full of bunk.

Why is the Fighters' Guild porter in the Chorrol hall an Imperial when all other porters are Bretons? And why does this one Imperial porter refuse to fix your gear when the Bretons do?


Check out my guild porter mod, that fixes races so you see at least every race except argonian as a guild porter. smile.gif

Also, why are people's hair shiny/glossy/plasticy, especially the elf races?

What do Kajiit and Argonians have against each other?

If you attack a guard and run off and keep a reasonable distance from him, why does he continue to chase you endlessly over the countryside?

Why are there only 2 female guards in the game?

Why do Bandits and Marauders hate each other (TES CK shows each have -100 to each other)

How does Argamir break into the mausoleom in the evening while guards are still on patrol?

Where did the goblins come from?

How does the count of Skingrad satisfy his "cravings"? Where is his wife?
Povuholo
This is how some quest in cheydinhal (?) starts. You talk to someone and he could say: "I did <something> and then <someone> charged me for five gold! I barely make that in a year!"

5 gold in a year? Does that mean they can only buy 5 apples a year? And how come they can afford a house there, which costs around 15.000? Does that mean they worked 3000 years for it?

Dreugh wax is valued as a hair care product, to keep it from being messed by wind or rain.

QUOTE

There is quite a lot of racism in Tamriel. Don't see how Argies and Jeets are any different in that regard.

QUOTE

Because he's doing his frickin' job.

QUOTE

Actually, there's a third, but she's undercover— and for some odd reason she maintains that cover after the sting operation is completed.

And, as an aside, this is one reason why my Imperial assassin began dressing up as a guard to use as her cover while working in the Dark Brotherhood.

QUOTE

They're rival organizations. Each side is cutting into the other's profits and stalking territories— and they're not going to share...

QUOTE

There's a little thing in the game called sneaking...

QUOTE
Where did the goblins come from?

Klingons beamed them down when they figured the inhabitants of this world just weren't getting bothered enough by little green men.

This can be answered just as soon as you take a character over to the dark side.

bcause, Lucien was dead so they gave you his robe, so she didn't hav a spare it was Lucien's.
Rhydderch Hael
Which would have brought up an interesting little rejoinder from my character once I noticed the curious red stains all over the robe: "Couldn't you schmucks have taken the robe off before you had your little party?"

Try explaining that to your friendly neighborhood dry-cleaner. wink.gif
Rhydderch Hael
When you dive into the "Doomed Mine" or the "Cursed Mine" and discover that they're filled with bandits, do you get the sense you've walked into a Scooby Doo episode? That the reason these mines are regarded as cursed, haunted, or doomed by the local denizens is because the bandits have been scaring folks off in order to mine the riches themselves?

I found that a bit odd, though. Why would bandits scare off honest, hardworking miners in order to dig up silver and gold nuggets themselves? Wouldn't the smart, crafty bandit allow some miners to dig up the stuff, then nab the loot afterwards? wink.gif Never took these bandits for geniuses, but puh-leeze.

The guards probably took a sip of it, and got so high he forgot to confiscate it, and placed it in the chest. Or maybe the jailor has never seen skooma. Luckily there are no khajiit jailors. Sweet moon sugarr!

Goblins love grain, so every time anyone would get a decent crop goblins would come along and eat it all, so the grain business get's no money, and therefore no grain farmers exist anymore in Cyrodiil. Grain and Wheat are imported from Elsweyr. Goblins hate tomatoes and lettuce tho.

In legend, the talons of a griffin were regarded as having the ability to detect (or neutralize) poisons.

The idea of using a creature's toenails for medicine isn't something the game's designers pulled out of their bum (or, if they did, then chance granted them a precedent that doesn't make them look quite as insane).
