Does casting Bound Gauntlets unequip the Bands of the Chosen from the Paradise quest? --66.23.133.52 12:49, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Yes. However, it will trigger the permanent quest item enchantment glitch when it tries to re-equip them when the effect wears off. You'll be stuck with 50% weakness to fire forever, and you won't be able to open the door to the second section of the Grotto. --Deathbane27 13:50, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] CtD issues

Should someone note that Bound Armour can crash to desktop or worse (and mroe often) hard crash the PC if forceably removed?

This is mainly noticeable if you surrender to the guards during a fight or try be a smartass when you speak to Harrow on the "Join the mythic dawn" quest while wearing bound armour. In both instances it'll crash the game immediatly in my experience

Well, I've made a note of the glitch. However, I'm willing to bet that your incidents are isolated, as I've never heard of any problems caused by Bound Armor. SubtleCynicism 20:41, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

Actually, this is a known issue, but it was fixed with the v 1.1.511 patch that came out nearly a year and a half ago. The simplest fix would be to install the patch, and thus fix a whole bunch of known problems with the game. --Nephele^Talk 03:52, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Bound Armor & UOP

Now, I know that we don't tend to mention unofficial mods here, but is the fact that the UOP changes the bound cuirass & greaves to be light armor significant enough to mention? People might read this page, see that the cuirass and greaves are heavy armor, and design their character accordingly, only to find that they are actually light armor because the UOP is installed. --Gaebrial 05:59, 23 November 2007 (EST)

I hadn't noticed that one. I've always thought we should document as many of the UOP changes on here as possible and that would seem to be a good example, so objections from me! --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 06:15, 23 November 2007 (EST)

I do have an objection to this one. If I am right, UOP is mentioned only to fix bugs, so there is no need to mention it here, I think. --Mankar Camoran^{•T•C•E•} 08:13, 23 November 2007 (EST)

There is actually quite a lengthy discussion about UOP here. After glancing through it (I admit I didn't read it completely), I am quite sure it is not necessary to mention UOP in this case. Please correct me if I am wrong. --Mankar Camoran^{•T•C•E•} 08:40, 24 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Bound helmet and game crash

Hi! I play Oblivion on the 360, with no add-ons, just the standard patch. I am unable to continue in the game after I saved while wearing a bound helmet (cast the spell myself, nice way of boosting the conjuration skill, I found out), and whenever I load the game again, to continue, it crashes when the helmet timer wears out. No idea if this is widespread though, so could just be my 360 acting wierd (it does, from time to time, have problem reading discs). 80.202.106.235 05:48, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Shielding on bound armor?

Why does the Bound armor page go so deeply into shielding?Should it not be a small blip with the marker of the shield? Just pointin' it out.Drake3555 22:42, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

I assume you're talking about the section in the Notes? In which case, the point is a comparison of Bound Armor with Shield and therefore, no, a link can't just replace those notes. --Nephele^Talk 11:37, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

K... See your point--Drake3555 19:21, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Weird Graphical Glitch

Ok, so I just reverse pickpocketed a full set of Perma-Bound Armor (all enchanted with Fortify Strength 10pts) onto a Legion Guard in the Imperial City. I went out the gate, went back in and he was wearing it all except for the Greaves (apparently, legion greaves are better >.>) So I went out and back in again and this time, he had BOTH THE LEGION HELMET AND THE BOUND HELMET ON AT THE SAME TIME. This is on the XBOX 360, so a pic is near impossible, unless you want a messy webcam pic. ImmortalKaine 22:15, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

You probably have a file loading error. Try reloading your game, or just steal the bound armor back.-Puddle ^{Talk•Contribs.} 22:22, 28 June 2008 (EDT)
