Oblivion talk:Andre Labouche

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

I am playing the Ps3 version of the game and have just completed the unofficial quest "The Horror of Dive Rock" and Andre Labouche's corpse is no where to be found. I have searched all around Aerin's Camp and to the north proceeding up the mountain and the corpse does not appear. -Jack 18 November, 2007

It's not to the north, it's south - at the foot of Dive Rock. If you look down you from the rock you can just see it. --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 03:18, 18 November 2007 (EST)

Sorry - I misread your original post. The body is north of Aerin's camp at the foot of dive rock. If you head from the camp towards the rock marker then head west around the foot of the mountain you should find it. It is possible for the body to disappear although I've never experienced that myself. --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 03:45, 18 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Body disappears

On the PS3 the body does disappear. I stumbled across the body after visiting Aerin's Camp. Thinking it was part of the un-started Dive Rock quest I read the note but did not loot the body. I proceeded to Dive Rock and found and read Agnar's journal. I did not get a notification nor did I ever find the Uderfrykte Matron. That was after about 1 hour of real time play while using Night Eye. I then decided to go back down to Andre and see if that would do anything. Even though I had carefully placed a marker I could never find him even after searching a wide area around the marker. Zack 24-Mar-2008

[edit] About the dissapearing bodies in dive rock

It seems that even if you find the corpse , it kinda starts the 'countdown' ( 3 days) and then they are removed.

They are not permanent corpses am i right?

Perhaps the reason they dissapear is that the game 'thinks' you have come near the corpses but you didnt..

When i teleport to dive rock to take Agnars journal and dont even look at the corpse , 3 days later BOTH labouche's and agnars corpses are gone

Before waiting those 3 days , i teleport to the corpses using the console to confirm they are there , then i reload ( so the game doesnt count that i ever saw or came near them)

Ive tested this with two different characters .

I think what triggers the 'countdown' is going near dive rock , can someone help me confirm this?.

[edit] Name

Labouche would translate, I believe, as the mouth in French. I am aware that the Bretons are based upon the French although I'm not entirely sure of the relevance of the term to the character. Any ideas? The-manta 16:59, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

That is indeed the translation, but it's not an uncommon name in France. I suspect that like most names, it was probably created by a random name generator of some sort - here's a big list of French surnames, and here's a list of family names, pick one from column A and one from column B, and stick 'em together, repeat as needed. I sincerely doubt that they had somebody just sit there and come up with the hundreds of names (thousands in Morrowind) one by one and make them all significant in some way. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 17:14, 28 June 2008 (EDT)
