Where Are You Today? Options

Lothran is now in the Imperial City having just conducted business. He won't leave for Skingrad just yet and will spend some days in the City and the surrounding area.

[mirocu]

Even though Lothran is quite happy with his spellbook, he actually created a new spell today; Eyes of Khajiit. And yes, it's a nightvision spell. He already has one but only at 30 secs. This one is at full 120 secs for those deep dives when good eyes is a must. He has been missing it although it hasn't been a huge problem. Today however Lothran made sure it won't be a problem at all again. He could have gone with an enchantment of course but meh. It's not THAT big of a deal


Oh, and he also attended a lecture about the runestones

[Acadian]

Wow, a new spell for Lothran is rare indeed!

[mirocu]

It is! I don't remember but it has to have been at least a couple of years since the last one.


He did btw decide to keep the 30 secs one for those instances when nightvision is just needed for a brief moment. 30 secs to be exact

[mirocu]

Lothran is now travelling the Red Ring Road. It's a beautiful day and it does wonder for the elf to be on the road again a bit before his annual trip to Skingrad. Next up Roxey Inn!

[mirocu]

Having spent some time in the Imperial City, Lothran's trip to Skingrad is coming up. In fact, this Friday he'll begin his journey to the wonderful county and town where he as usual will spend Easter picking flax in the vast wood and killing vampires close to Skingrad. Just like anyone!

Yesterday I saw Fralav the Faker actually sit on Fathis Ules's chest! I didn't know NPCs could sit on anyting other than chairs and that sort of thing!

They can't. But it is possible to embed a stool into a chest.

It doesn't explain how he sat there. My game isn't modded to add that to a chest.

I shall check that in the CS, now I too want to know! It's Fathis Ules' chest in the back alley behind his house in the Imperial City, right? It might well be that the chair was built into the chest by Bethesda right from the start!

In my vanilla games on consoles, I've never seen anybody sit on anything which is not normally sittable, not that I remember anyway. But with mods, I have seen all sorts of funny things. An example is when an NPC lays down to sleep, yet winds up levitating (while sleeping) next to their bed, basically floating in mid-air.

I've seen them sit in funny places too. Should dig up some pictures if I can find them.

[Lena Wolf]

Well, in the Shivering Isles people can sit on special "sittable" rocks. Designed and implemented by Bethesda. They are not common, but they do occur, and the funny thing is that those rocks have gravity and can roll away. But the furniture marker remains in the old position, so then the NPCs start sitting on thin air... The Shivering Isles is a crazy place. I must add however that in the original game those rocks are placed in such positions where they don't roll away that easily.

[Lena Wolf]

Fathis Ules' chest does have a built-in chair in vanilla. See these screenshots:

Chest with a stool hidden inside it

Chest moved to reveal the stool

[mirocu]

Amazing reveal! But how come your own character can't sit on it? Lothran tried but the chest only demanded a key

[Lena Wolf]

That's because the stool is hidden under the surface of the chest, so you always activate the chest. But the NPCs go directly for the stool because they know it's there... It's in their AI.

[mirocu]

Well, I'm glad we cleared that up. Really interesting stuff!


Thanks!

[Acadian]

Those clever NPC's!

[mirocu]

Lothran is now on his way to Skingrad! We will try and locate that levitating rock at some point but we have to trekk a bit more away from the road to find it.

Currently resting a bit from Shadeleaf Copse.

[mirocu]

Having spent a few days in the nice town of Skingrad, Lothran has now set up camp by the Isolated House as is his custom during Easter. The bandits have been taken care of and Lothran also documented a levitating Lady's Smock. It's quite a bit off the ground, hopefully you can see it. These things can be difficult to capture sometimes.

Here is another angle

[Acadian]

Wow, a flying flower!

[mirocu]

Being back from the Lost Woods near the Isolated House, Lothran is once again hunting for necrodudes at Fort Linchal. When all was said and done he counted eleven of them strewn around the "courtyard" of the fort. If there are any necrodudes left deeper within the fort they sure have a lot of material to work with now


Also; Lothran got a telepathic message saying that Toutius Sextius was unconscious but after searching quite a large area he couldn't find him
