Oblivion talk:First Mate Malvulis

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

[edit] Name Issue

Is her name Malvulis or Malvulius? There's an inconsistency in the info text of this page, and there's also a Oblivion:First_Mate_Malvulius page that redirects to this page.--Quill 19:08, 10 February 2008 (EST)

The NPC's name is "First Mate Malvulis" which is why the page is named "First Mate Malvulis." If you look through the page's history you can see that originally an editor mistakenly created the page at "First Mate Malvulius" but the page was moved when the spelling error was recognized. That's why a redirect still exists at First Mate Malvulius: when you move a page, the old page is automatically turned into a redirect to the new page name. However, the game never uses the Malvulius name and therefore the redirect should be deleted at this point (trying to keep redirects for every reader's possible misspelling of every name in the game is impossible and pointless; we generally only keep redirects when the game uses the misspelled version, for example in a dialogue). --Nephele^Talk 19:34, 10 February 2008 (EST)

Well, that's one comprehensive answer! Thanks for making this clear.--Quill 09:32, 11 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Respawn?

It's become apparent that once killed the First Mate does not respawn. However, what about the generic pirates? She was killed a while ago in my game and hasn't come back, and I thought that all the pirates died along with her. Today I went to clean the ship out of all the goods that had any monetary value and found myself fighting a Nord pirate, a Breton pirate, a Redguard pirate, and an Argonian pirate. I've seen the Redguard and Breton up top before with the First Mate on more than one character, and I can't remember if they were killed on my current character or not. I've also never seen an Argonian or Nord pirate. So does anyone know if these pirates respawn? --Mole126^Talk 11:31, 2 March 2008 (EST)

They don't respawn. There's a Breton and Redguard wandering around the dock at the start of the game. An Imperial and Redguard appear on the mid-deck at the start of the DB Quest A Watery Grave and an Argonian and Breton appear at some point although I'm not sure exactly when. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 11:59, 2 March 2008 (EST)

The Argonian and Breton spawn after killing the Captian in the DB quest A Watery Grave.Miceypoo@aol.com ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.124.247.197 (talk • contribs).}
