Oblivion talk:Etira Moslin

I went to hackdirt once, i was just exploring some places and not doing any quests associated with hackdirt and I cam acroos here, when I tried to haggle i saw that she was a master! in mercantile, but here is listed that she is apprentice level, could this be a bug or where my eyes deceiving me?

Good catch. Her base stats have mercantile=40, but as soon as the game is loaded, the script MS45Script overwrites her mercantile skill with the command etiramoslinref.forceav mercantile 100 (accompanied in the script by the note "crappy prices at Moslin's Dry Goods!"). This happens right at the start of the game, before anything to do with Shadow over Hackdirt starts (and I confirmed in game by going to Hackdirt with a newbie character), so her default stats are irrelevant. She's actually the only NPC in the game whose skill stats are modified like that, as far as I can tell. I'll update the page accordingly. --Nephele^Talk 15:01, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

My guess is they intended to return her skills to their natural values after the quest was completed, and just forgot or something. Being as she is one of the only remotely friendly people in the whole town, it would make sense for her to lower her prices for you once you worked out the problems there, but I guess short of killing everybody, there's no real way to but a stop to the weird cult activities going on in Hackdirt. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 19:50, 20 June 2007 (EDT)
