Glitches and how to solve them., XBOX 360 Oblivion only Options

[Petra Arkanian]

Hey, guys. I just ran into a really annoying glitch. A new character I was making, a woodelf named Alyss, is stuck on her last save. I was in the goblin area. I finished the tutorial and all that, even got to the imperial city, and I saved, and then I try to continue with my game, and the save is gone! Back through the tutorial, get outside, save, play again later. The save has been deleted once again! How annoying!

Also. Whenever I try to make woodelfs, they come out hulking! Super tall! Aren't woodelfs supposed to be tiny? And, no, I'm not making an Altmer when I try this.

Not sure on your glitch, as I play on PC.

I do know character heights though. '1.0' is the standard height, probably best defined by an Imperial. Other races vary somewhat from this, to include sex differences for some races. Think of 1.0 as 100% of standard height. An Altmer (male or female), at 1.1 is 110% of the height of an Imperial. A female Bosmer is 1.0. A male Bosmer is 0.9 - there is your tiny. Since I play on the PC, I have changed the height of my female Bosmer to 0.9. Normally female Bosmers are standard height (1.0).

The following data shows the height for each race, by sex:
Race Male Female
Argonian 1.03 1.00
Breton 1.00 0.95
Dark Elf 1.00 1.00
High Elf 1.10 1.10
Imperial 1.00 1.00
Khajiit 1.00 0.95
Nord 1.06 1.06
Orc 1.06 1.06
Redguard 1.03 1.00
Wood Elf 0.90 1.00

Here is a 0.9 character standing next to a 1.1 character: Screenshot

Here is the same 0.9 character standing next to a 1.0 character: Screenshot

Again, Buffy the Bosmer depicted in these shots is modified down from 1.0 to 0.9. She is the same height as a male Bosmer.
