Oblivion talk:Maglir

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

ive been using maglir as a follower for awhile now and every once in awhile his weapons break, but he usually picks up a new one, but this time he got a bow and broke it and wont seem to drop it, and i cant pickpocket it from him and when i put a weapon infront of him and sock him in the face he wont pick it up, he'll just use his fists. anything i can do or should i give him up now?

You could reverse pick poket a permanent bound weapon on him, itll be stronger than most weapons and hell equit it right away, if you dont know how to make them see the Glitches page.--LuciusZelgius 20:59, 20 November 2008 (EST)

My guess is it has to do with arrows - either he didn't pick any up or he did and quickly used them all up. (Most NPCs who are set up to be archers have an unlimited supply of ammo, but for NPCs who were designed for melee, this isn't the case.) Now, he should equip another weapon if given one that's better, but A.) it's possible (and I'd have to look this up) that his Marksman skill is higher than his other combat skills, and thus he actually prefers the bow to blades or blunts, and B.) it's also possible that he somehow found a really good bow that's better than anything else he can find in melee. (E.g. a Black Bow when the best normally available are Iron or something.) Another suggestion would be to try using the disarming attacks if you have enough skill in your primary weapon class. (Be ready to grab the bow as soon as he drops it, and leave another weapon nearby to convince him to pick that up instead.) At any rate, I'm sure it's not a glitch specific to Maglir. It's likely this could happen with anyone if the right conditions occur. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 00:43, 21 November 2008 (EST)

[edit] Chorrol

While Maglir is in the Skingrad inn, I was able to talk to him about Skingrad, and Chorrol, along with rumors...Any reason for him talking about Chorrol when he's in Skingrad? --74.5.177.164 10:12, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

It's because of his factions. He's still in the Chorrol Faction when you talk to him so he still has the rumors. I think. Having said that, he ought to have Bravil and Leyawiin too. –rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 10:38, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Hm, problebly because he's in the Skingrad and Chorrol CITIZEN Factions...He's in the normal Leyawiin and Bravil factions, but not a citizen..Guess that's why. --74.5.177.164 13:12, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
