You'd think that after years of playing this game that it's silly to open a thread like this, perhaps. But even after 5 and a half years, I just found a couple new things I've never seen before.

1). Kahreem found the Surilie Brother's house, and walked right in. The place is unlocked. On the downstairs table is some sort of deed for furniture bought from Colovian Traders, similar to the deeds we get when we upgrade one of our char's homes. I've personally never seen one of deeds in an NPC's house.

2). There's a door on the second floor of Two Sister's Lodge, if you walk through this door you are now on a balcony outside of the inn. Look across the street, and there's another balcony, and this belongs to the Surilies. It's possible to jump from one balcony to the next. Small detail, but it's something I've never done before. Kinda neat.

Kahreem used both balconies to keep watch on Bernadette Peneles's house from a safe distance.

Lovely pics, real and in-game!

Never heard that one before.

Nords at the bookseller?! That is a new one. Nice find, I haven't heard that either.

Tonight I was watching an episode of Call the Midwife, when suddenly I learned that the Marie Elena is not just any name Bethesda came up with. It is A song from 1932! I had no idea until now. What a fantastic easter egg.

That´s pretty cool but also a bit disappointing..

[Renee]

Wow, that's great SubRosa, thanks for sharing!

I am just noticing the Bloated Float has flags hanging from the lines between its masts. I'm playing on Xbox tonight so this is the sort of thing I'd assume on PC, but would never notice in the vanilla game.

Kinda neat, isn´t it?


As for me I have found something that astonished me. Well, I don´t think I´ve noticed it before anyway; not all doors are reinforced in Skingrad! For example, Bernadette´s door isn,´t and neither is Uuras´s. Not even Lazare Milvan´s door is reinforced


And here´s a real oddity: You know the beggar bedroll that´s behind the Fighters Guild? Today Lothran found a Skingrad guard sleeping in it!

[Renee]

Whoa, the one about the Skingrad guard sleeping in a beggar-bed is weird. That could be influenced by some mod, but I kinda doubt it because I don't think you have anything that would cause this, otherwise you would have seen it by now.

My new thing of the day: I was reading over at UESP about vampires, and was surprised to learn that they (in fact) do take damage if they run outside during day time. This damage does not happen nearly as fast as what we experience if we've got a vampire, but it does happen.

I just found something really odd in Kahreem's game. He pickpocketed Delphine Jend as she slept in the Mage's Guild. He found a "ring", but this ring shows up as a plain green image in his Miscellaneous inventory, rather than under Apparel. In other words, he cannot equip it.

Here is what UESP has to say.

Delphine spends most of her days contemplating her "PonderItem". This is a bizarre object in her inventory that has no name, weight, value, picture, or apparent function. The only non-blank entries for it in the Construction Set are its editor ID ("PonderItem") and Form ID (00002340). If you kill her or pickpocket her, this item is visible in her inventory labeled <missing name>. When dropped, it looks like a giant flashing box with an exclamation point on it. If you have installed the Thieves Den official plug-in, it will instead be identified as "Ring" and will be a quest item (i.e., you cannot drop it any more).

Since Kahreem's game has Thieves Den installed, this PonderItem is a quest item, and cannot be dropped. The description above indicates that if we don't have TD installed, the item can be dropped. It sounds like it's one of those Missing Mesh! thingies once we drop it.

I wonder if you can assign a mesh to any of those bugged items?

Not in Kahreem's game (Xbox) but possibly on PC this can be done, right?

I was thinking it should be able to, just point it to any vanilla ring instead of where it is pointing? But like you said; not on the 360, lol.

I have one. Was gaming with Joan of Arkay last night. She often uses Turn Undead to pacify zombies and ghosts and skeletons and whatnot. So last night, she turns this zombie. This usually makes them try to run away, but in this case, the zombie had nowhere to run, it was in this sort of alcove thingie. So Joan begins bashing it with her short sword, and it turns around and begins attacking her.

I had no idea beating on a turned undead will eventually make them "un-turn", basically.

Well, I think that either it´s like when you hit someone with very high disposition; they wait until you hit them enough times before they hit back, or the spell effect simply ended.

Riverview (in Cheydinhal) has furniture on one of its outside decks. Patio furniture, in the vanilla game. Never noticed this! I wonder if anybody ever sits there.

[Renee]

I meant to add this one awhile back a few weeks ago. When Sarah was in the Jemane's townhouse (the one they have in Chorrol, not Weatherleah), she went into Gilbert's room and oh my gosh what a mess that place is. That guy is not only a drunk, but quite a slob too.

Dang I didn't take a pic, apparently. Well, if she ever goes back in there, I'll get a pic and show y'all.

I guess this is about the best thread for this...

I was traveling with Lemdel the Altmer barbarian COC last night, and heard a line I've never heard before. That caught my attention, but the response was so perfectly Oblivion that it made me laugh out loud.

The line:

"Most people consider Martin's... transformation... a religious or political event, but what interests me is its metaphysical implications."

The response:

"I've heard others say the same."

[mirocu]

Only in Oblivion
