Hehe, good one, Abramul, far as I remember The Blight was contained in Morrowind by the Empires (attempted) banning of travel from Morrowind, but obviously smugglers and such managed!
Perhaps a local disease got some bad pr and likened to a blight disease, or a blight distibuted by said friendly smuggler lost its potency after poor Dagoths demise?

As to the Mages guild, I vagely remember some mages freaking out while I was trying on the necro threads, I kinda filed a note to self that black robes are not too cool...will investigate further...

Now that's a good mod idea!

I think there would be some problems with decorating it.

Well, I'm halfway through it already
Anyone got any ideas?

A pet slaughterfish? Also cut one of the clams from a bunch and use it as a storage chest.

And for another question, If you contracted withershins in the game, how would it work

"Ahoy!"
"Bye!"
"Can you believe that the imperial Prison was *Spoiler'd* into?"
"D...D...uh"
I can't think of anything for D

Why do vampires keep corpses hanging around? I understand Cattle, but what use do they have for corpses?

To scare people away? They like undead company? They're waiting for a necromancer? Necrophilia?

I think the answer lies in what they were before they got corpsed...sified...ification...sicled ... er ... died
Maby the vamp was just attached to that particular cattle, or enjoy's the memory like photo's on the wall.
Maby the only way a vamp can feel degenerate is by sucking on a dead artery? tisk tisk

Oh BTW I got a 'What can you be thinking, wearing that? Take it off' for wearing necro threads in the Unseen Uni. I took it off. No one would speak to me.

How did the ships get to the Water District of the Imperial City?
There a very solid looking srone bridge across the entrance of the lake...

When did the emperor decide to rebuild Leyawiin?

Didn't they have enough supplies and decided to use the material used to build Sutch?

Maybe it was rebuilt after an Akaviri fleet attack back in the day. Leyawiin is in all essence an outpost city and the first target of any maritime incursion into Cyrodiil.


How do you get a ship in a bottle? Furl canvas and swing the yards in line with the keel, then kedge through the channel. Admittedly, it'd be a hassle, but not that impossible.

Of course, how the Blackwater Brigands did that to The Bloated Float without inviting some attention is beyond me.

Questions from "A Brotherhood Betrayed":

1) Where did Gelebourne live in Skingrad?
2) Who's actually been snacking on beggars?
3) That's a decidedly odd cover, posing as a vampire hunter. Your intended victims will have to display circumstantial evidence that they're vampiric. Seems Drelas lucked out on "tagging" Lirrian as a vampire thanks to the poor fellow's night-job, but managing the same trick with Gelebourne's murder as well? Odd coincidence, or the Skingrad guards are even more gullible than Bruma's ("Vampires actually love sunlight? Gee golly, who'd have thunk it. Thanks, mister!")

Thats easy, It's me!

Hmm...strange questions, strange questions...Why do NPCs say a friendly hello, and then when I go to speak with them, they act like i'm a cliffracer?

probably cuz... uh... they... i got it! They only recognize u when you come right up to them.

What does the word "Fetcher" actually mean, and why don't the Dunmer in Cyrodiil use it? is it too vulgar even to speak under the Inepterial guards watch? *gasp*

Isn't it a little odd that the only races who regularly make use of family names happen to be Imperials, Dunmer, and Orcs? Looks like they have something in common after all.

Maybe they are the only ones who marry? I haven't seen a khajiit couple.

Wasn't there some rumor in Anvil about some wood elf sleeping with a nord?

Why can't you capture wild horses?

I think that Orcs actually use a patronymic/matronymic.

Good question. They weren't much better dead either.

I actually ran into the wild horses for the first time a week ago. Good to know I haven't seen everything yet!

Yeah, I figured that. Still, it's better than nothing— which is precisely what Bosmer, Altmer, Redguard, Khajiit and Argonians have: no last names. And Nord names seem a little closer to callsigns rather than familial monikers.

There's a risk of wading around in the same gene pool for a few generations. *shudder*

I've been seeing these...things in random places. They appear to be composed of several intersecting arrows. What are they, what do they mean, who makes them, and how do they levitate?
[attachmentid=2640]

Can't be sure what manifests that, but it reminds me of "Loot Bags" I occassionally find in places.

One such loot bag I discovered floating in midair on the skirting trail northeast of Anvil, on the way from the north gate to Fort Strand.

What made the Grey Prince's mother be attracted to an Orc? They're massive, green and have serious breath problems. Probably form all that horse stew they eat.

Wrong way 'round. The Gray Prince's mother was an Orc servant. His dad was an Imperial lord.

The way that heredity works in the Elder Scrolls universe is that the child's race is that of the mother.

Quite possibly a weaselification to avoid needing intermediate races.

This is probably for the better. Just imagining what a cross between an orc and an imperial would look like gives me the creeps .

Then weird combinations like a cross between an orc and a dunmer would appear and the world would come to an end mhua-ha-ha!

Why aren't there any kids in Oblivion. I find it extreamly hard to believe that there isn't a single person below the age of 18 int he entire province of Cyrodill.

M'aiq believes that the children are our future. He just thinks they shouldn't spoil all of our fun.

That's old hat. The lack of kids was a measure to keep the game's maturity rating down.

Do potions of Restore Fatigue satisfy hunger?

Why can't a Master Alchemist make a Deadly Poison out of a Poisonned Apple?
How do they create the potions you can find in the different shops: all the potions I create have an lengthened effect, how do the others to have instantaneous restore life potions?
Why is there so few villages in Cyrodiil?
Same for farms?
Why can't you go to the top of the walls, and why are there no guards up there?

How do ships get past Leyawiin? The map seems to show a channel, but the only 'channel' I've seen is a few feet deep, and blocked by the city walls. Don't think it's continuous inside the walls, either.

Why do hostile NPCs not care when their buddies repeatedly hit them with spells or arrows?

"How do ships get past Leyawiin?" Thats a good question! [ The water level decreased so then the land where Leyawiin was not under water anymore, then some people and etc... wanted to build the castle there. thats what I think had happened. ] "And your other question I have no idea why that happens? [ ]".

Actually they are still able to get ships through there somehow. a good example would be the bloated float quest where a ship is hijacked and taken out to sea. The only way, I think, they could get past is use magic. That may seem like a copout, but its alot easier to understand.

I see what you are say and sound like a good way too.

Time constraints. It may take a dedicated alchemist several hours to work up Strong Potions of Healing, while the adventuring alchemist is bound to concocting stuff on the fly (literally, at times).

Same reason Sinderion can brew Elixirs of Exploration with nirnroot after 24 hours of effort, while a Master alchemist adventurer such as yourself can only manage a Drain Health poison in one second (truth be told, Sinderion said the nirnroot was but one ingredient in the Elixirs, and he never divulges the full recipe to you).


I've had Cassie-the-Assassin stand watch (she does use guard uniforms as a disguise, after all) on the walls of Anvil and Cheydhinal. Took a little roof-leaping, of course.


My question for the day: why is a Master alchemist reduced to brewing potions that contain only the first effect of a single ingredient? Every ingredient has four effects: lo and behold, your alchemy brewing apparatus has four slots! What prevents a Master alchemist from enjoying the choice of shoving an ingredient into the fourth slot in order to exract the fourth listed effect of that ingredient? You're a Master alchemist, aren't you supposed to have that much razzle-dazzle in your brewing skills?

Are all dungeons completely underground? Do any of them extend out under bodies of water? (I think Fort Homestead does the second)

Why don't NPCs notice that there's a light source moving around through their cave/house/castle? And why don't they notice a flaming human-shape appearing on top of a brazier?

How do some lights (for instance, Leyawiin's streetlights) burn without fuel? I can understand the bluish-white lamps (often found in forts) using magic, but these appear to be normal fire...

How come gravity effects objects in Oblivion and not Morrowind?
Did anything along the lines of this pass through the minds of the gods?

Vivec used his godlike magical powers to suspend the ministry of truth above Vivec City's temple. Being the Nerevarine and thus highly attuned to Vivec's powers, a small bit of the magic used to suspend the ministry in mid-air is channeled by your body and flows into every object you touch.

I've always wondered about the NPC conversations like

"Goodmorning"

"Oh it's you"

"How are you?"

"Bad"

"Good for you, Heard any news from the other provinces?"

"Nothing i'd like to talk about"

"How good to hear"

"Bye"

"Bye"

So my question is....Wheres the love?

They saw a mudcrab the other day, and they're still so spooked they can't think straight.

well mudcrabs are a big deal! dont act like you didn't know that!

OF all the time I've played oblivion I never found out what thos alters I find outside nercromancer caves do, I might have just forgotten...

You haven't done the mages guild quests yet? Once in a week a light shines on them, which allows you to create black soul gems by putting them in the altar and using a soultrap spell on it.

Filthy creatures. I try to avoid them whenever I can.

LOL
How come you cant ever chop down a tree or break a chair or blow up a combat dummy?
How come holding lots of stuff prevent you from walking?
How do you carry 200 pounds of stuff naked and not be able to see it. Well I got this one sorta... the only problem is I can't carry 200 pounds of stuff in my underwear without them falling down. That and swords hurt down there. but if anyone can do that send a tape to me at Jumper46773@yahoo.com.

Ah ok did the mages guild a long time back, Never got the gems since I dint know to put a soultrap spell on em.

Did you know why falanu hlaalu is so into necromancy? (She's the skingrad alchemist)... wel? Know it? no?
well she is into Necromancy because if you walk the red ring road east of Vilverin to the soath, eventually you will find a burned out house, with a 'All Things Alchemical sign"in front of it!! so i think a relative, husband, or a partner in alchemy died in the fire.

Is Alessia Ottus really immune to Daedric curses that affect everyone and everything else?

I have to ask that after seeing Corvus Umbranox's name written in her "Guide to Anvil". Now, given than Millona Umbranox herself cannot remember her husband's name (due to the curse that erases the afflicted's name from memory and written history), the presence of Corvus' name in the Guide is vexing.

She can't remember the name? I think she can, but when Corvus tells her she or anyone his name they forget it right away. She doesn't recognise the face either. That was the problem I think.

When you give the Countess the wedding ring, she'll say it belonged to her husband, but she cannot remember his name at the moment.

Girl needs to crack open a tourism guide once in a while.

Springheel Jak's dairy (something you do not write from recalled memory, but record at the end of a day) was altered by the curse so as any mention of his accomplice was referred to as the guy "I can't recall his name anymore".

Alessia Ottus is either protected by the Divines through her piety, or she's actually a mortal manifestation of Nocturnal, She Who Hides Truth From Others (something you can say about any of her "Guides").
