Plot hole? Options

I'm not sure where to put this, but it's been really bugging me! Haha. Okay, so i might confuse you with this, but bear with me.

The mages guild recommendation questline; how come the university doesn't expect a recommendation from Kvatch?

Obviously Kvatch is unable to give one, but If you never go to Kvatch, nobody on the outside is aware of what's happening there, so therefore the university should expect a recommendation from there. So if you collect recommendations from all the available cities but AVOID Kvatch, they don't expect one. Maybe there should have been a mention of this in-game. I don't know. Lol

Okay... I'm confusing myself, but I hope you understand my point! Thoughts? Any other plot holes you guys can think of? I LOVE this game... but I think this is an interesting point. Lol

I agree entirely. When Buffy (my mystic archer) finished the Skingrad recommendation, she continued west to get recommendations from both Kvatch and Anvil. Once she arrived at Kvatch, the only surviving guild member (Sigrid) elaborated (roleplay of course) on the obvious that the Kvatch guild would not be able to provide a recommendation. So Buffy continued on to Anvil. The game certainly doesn't preclude that kind of thinking, but it would have been nice if Sigrid actually had a brief dialogue option to support it.
