Oblivion talk:A Rat Problem

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Do you think it's worth noting that while other boons in the game; Night Mother's Blessing, Grey Prince's training, Watching the sparring outside the arena - are permanent boosts to your skills, the boon given is only a temporary one? The dialog in the game says that she will "provide training" for the skill, but the effect does not behave like normal training. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by WillFa (talk • contribs).}

I'm not sure what you mean that the boost given here is only a temporary one. Free Skill Boosts provides a more complete description of how all the free skill boosts in the game work. This boost works using the modpcskill command, just like most of the game's skill boosts (although unlike the first two examples that you mention in your list). If you have not installed the patch, the effect is somewhat useless (because you will need to train yourself the same amount to catch up before your skill will start advancing again), but that is a glitch that was fixed by the patch. --Nephele 22:45, 3 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Removed from Page

Removed from the bugs list:

• There is a bug where Arvena will think you are tresspassing in her house, you can yield with her, but I successfully killed her without being found out.

For one thing, this needs to be taken out of first-person for consistency. Also, can anyone verify this bug (or did the poster perhaps break in when he shouldn't have)? DisplacedAvenger 13:43, 23 May 2007 (EDT)

I've looked in the Construction Set, and this is what I could come up with:

The moment the quest starts, the cell AnvilArvenaThelasHouse is made public. However, when you report to the Arvena that the problem has been solved (doesn't matter if you tell her that Quill-Weave was responsible or not) the public flag is removed from the cell. The player could at that moment (and is very likely to) still be in her house, and is trespassing. --Timenn 14:31, 23 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Mountain Lion Ghosts

The quote "If you are in a rush, you can kill the lions yourself before Pinarus arrives at the location - he takes a long time getting there." in the quest notes did not work for me, my attacks went straight through the lions and had no affect until Pinarus arrived, spoke his dialog and initiated combat._hellfire.
