Oblivion talk:Pale Lady

Is it possible to meet the Pale Lady without doing the related quest? xoxo Coryl

Yes... just updating the main page with that right now as I came here to post it. She's supposed to be disabled until the player comes to rescue Amusei, but there's a bug in his script so she'll be enabled whenever the player goes into the secret area in the wine cellar. This doesn't cause a problem with the later Lost Histories quest, but it makes it rather difficult for to have taken Amusei if she's already dead. Kivan 23:41, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Mina?

Where did the information about her name come from? And I can't find anything about "interrogates" either. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 04:25, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

After completing the Lost Histories quest, you can ask the Skingrad Jailor about "The Pale Lady." He replies; "Oh, you mean Mina? She... er... interrogates prisoners. Best not go around asking questions about her." Odd, but true. Try it yourself, Reph. --HMSVictory 04:28, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

The only use of the word "interrogates" in the dialogue export is "I've heard of a hidden torture chamber. They say that Count Marius interrogates Argonian immigrants from Black Marsh." so I dunno where that's coming from. I don't have a character I can use to test it in-game though. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 04:37, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

No, trust me, he says it. You can test whenever, but I did the Lost Histories quest yesterday, and was surprised when I heard this while talking to the Skingrad Jailor. I am 100% sure he mentions that line. --HMSVictory 04:39, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

I just tried it, Went to the Skingrad Jailor with my Gray Fox Charcater (a typical argonian) and there was nothing in the diaglogue list about The Pale Lady. --Volanaro 04:41, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

There is! I asked him as I was escaping. I had just left the Wine Cellar via the secret passage, and Amusei had disappeared. I knew about this bug, so I carried on. I went past the Jailor, and wondered if he had any new information I didn't know. I check the dialogue options, which were all grey. Then I scrolled down, and saw the option "Pale Lady". I clicked it, and that's what he said. Do the same while on the quest, and you'll find that piece of dialogue. --HMSVictory

Which version of the game are you playing? –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 05:50, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

What do you mean by that? In terms of patches, I'm unsure. I didn't have any mods active, official or not, when I did the quest. --HMSVictory 08:14, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

(outdent) I mean that I'm wondering if this is XBox- or GotY-specific or something like that. On my PC version with the latest patch, that dialogue just isn't there. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 08:21, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Same here, I have never seen that dialogue on my pc version, one of my mates (not hms warspite) has it on xbox 360 so i'll ask him next time i see him. --Volanaro 08:23, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Oh. It's PC; Non GOTY. Try looking for the dialogue while on the quest - see what you find. --HMSVictory 08:23, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Nope. That's not there either. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 08:26, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

I'm sorry, Rpeh, but I've just flicked back onto an quicksave I had while on the quest (As I said, I only did it yesterday) and, yes, the Jailor still presents me with that line. If you have the Oblivion CS, try looking for the Jailor's dialogue options. Go onto his NPC screen and click "dialog" (Actually, you probably already know how to do that). --HMSVictory

Ah! "Mina? You don't want to go asking about her. She... um... interviews prisoners. She isn't one to be crossed." It helps when I'm given the right thing to look for! –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 08:54, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Ah! Interviews, not Interrogates! I knew something was wrong! I'll tweak the main article now. --HMSVictory 08:57, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Could this name perhaps be a reference to Dracula? --24.247.73.179 20:21, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Where did you find this name? If you are referring to the Countess, probably not, but please tell us what section contains this information.-Puddle 20:30, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Mina Harker is one of the main characters in the book. Plus, most of the book deals with vampires so the reference makes sense (and rather funny, imho). --24.247.73.179 20:38, 9 May 2008 (EDT)
