I was caught off guard by this so grabbed the screenies as fast as I could! There was actually a 3rd traveler but she left before I grabbed the shot! The two guys just stood there staring for a few minutes, it was awkward!!

I got a laugh out of it though!

myrmaad,you have admirers in your game

It's the funniest game isn't it? I love Oblivion, can you tell?? The NPCs are So Interesting! I have to say the AI really impresses me.


Oh, and I "knew" they were going in and out when I slept there before I added the "see you sleep" mod, so I've rarely slept there because there are some people I've really P*sed off in the game.. (like a whole batch of Mythic Dawners and the corrupt Legionnaire from the IC) but they never actually try to kill me anymore -- (a whole other story) so I figured it was safe, but YOU NEVER KNOW, the Redguard in the pic (kellam or something) is a friend of mine, supposedly, and that other guy kinda looks like my Bruma fence..

i wonder why there was there?

Col John Sheppard

ummmm,playtime maybe

^Hahahahahahaahahahaha


Kellam's AI is programmed so that he travels all the Cyrodiil cities in a cycle each week.

I don't know why the other guy is there because I'm not sure who he is, but one thing I can tell you for certain is this:

The Gantrano Sanctuary portal is wonderful because it is a PUBLIC portal unlike the ones that are programmed to only allow Mages Guild members. That means that any NPC who is programmed to travel in the Vanilla game can and will use the Gantrano portals which makes them very useful. I love this mod to pieces.

It places a portal outside every player home (looks like a basement door). As soon as the player purchases the home (gets the key) the portal is open. Once it's open any NPC can use it.

Now here's an interesting note. I came across a horse standing outside my IC shack house, and for about two weeks I couldn't figure out how or why it was there.

The answer: A thieves guild member programmed to travel (I forget her name) rode her horse across the river to the Waterfront district to do her VANILLA-AI Business there. But the portal was open so she left her horse behind and just uses the portal system.

I downloaded and installed the Dragonfire Trade and Transport mod, and opened those portals to the public as well, but for whatever reason, the NPCs much prefer the Gantrano portals.

Those Crazy NPCs!!

the funny thing i found with NPCs is in the Shivering Isles in one of the villages there was a argonain and if you say no to will run around going Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni NI Ni Ni you can only imagine how annoying it is

Col John Sheppard

I have got to get around to the Shivering Isles.. I just have added so many things to the Tamriel side I haven't gotten around to finding all of that stuff yet, even. *smiles happily*

explore the lost boy cave its got something that makes little sense have a look

Col John Sheppard

i am pretty sure that the redguard closest to chest in the back ground is a guy called isleif the open handed..
but it dont know whats he doing in yout tower..

of you compere this picture to yours, you should see it..

^Nice catch! So check out his wander package, he's got a pretty generous radius, maybe that explains it?

yeah i suppose so where is the Sanctuary placed anyway?

Col John Sheppard

It doesn't have an LOD location, actually. you can never see it from afar, and there's no way to access it from outside in the Tamriel world. The Portals are the only way to reach it, and it's not a home, I mean it's not meant to be a home, either. it's a cool portal sanctuary.

You really must check out my review: Click

I'll tell you where it is in the CS.. just a sec..

Well, actually I'm kind of stumped, it's only listed as an interior space. It has coordinates, but I don't know how to ID those. Haven't the foggiest, but I guess I need to figure that out sometime soon, too, huh? The only exteriors are the basement entries on each of the buyable-player-homes.

Here's a picture of the basement entry on the IC player-shack (and the silly horse too, actually), normally it's hard to see on my version because I have a porch there, but it works with it fine.

what? the portal is in Skingard and the open handed guy goes all the way over there? god or is there something i missed

Col John Sheppard

Well there's a portal on every buyable house, so you can travel to every city through the Gantrano Sanctuary portal system... but yeah, I don't know which portal he used because I had just woken up! haha

But the tower room itself actually might be within the white tower world space over the Imperial City, it looks like that's where he put it.

Myrmaad,

Cool,

But I just realized something! Today I was messing around the IC-shack getting that screen shot and doing some other stuff--

(ok I downloaded yet another IC shack mod, and I had to check it out inside--long story short I decided to bash it together with my favorite one that has the rowboat and porch)--but anyway)

When I came out that horse was just having a FIT! I'm not kidding.

I think that thief chick stole him and he wanted to use the portal to go back to his 'home" wherever that is. you know how the horses are programmed to return to their stables when they're stolen? So I rode him across the river to the stables (so that makes three horses stolen in the game for me now - one I accidentally mounted, *rolleyes*; one was the weynon priory horse Martin rode to the IC on that fateful day, I had to return him, it was killing me seeing him waiting out there; and this one.) I know my character is such a goody two shoes, I love her!

I wonder if he's on the way home now?

She needs a baloon over her head in that last pic, "What Are You lookin' at?"

.. they have to go into your house to get there right? kinda odd haha

Col John Sheppard

Not at all. You just walk up to the basement door and activate it. No need to go in any of the houses.

ROFLOL! I know. It's just not Dignified!!

i just fight them saves time and makes life more fun hehe

Col John Sheppard

I use an umpa spell on them,make them dance a goofy dance or use remote pickpocket spell,strip them of their armor and weapon.They just stand there naked looking foolish.

If I get mad enough I kill them. Then I reload a savegame, "it was just a bad dream!"



Good one!

Yeah,it isn't.After all that work it took to shut down all those gates,i deserve some respect.

I feel like saying this, I know bad doodle!

that's what Deadly reflex is for making bad dreams come true

Col John Sheppard

That would make em pay attention.I used to feel sorry for them,i pick-pocketed one once and he
only had 4 gold on him.Must want to be a guard real bad...
