[edit] He dissapeared!

I have a problem. I went to Vilverin with Erthor to fight some bandits. As I focused on one he fought the other. When I killed mine, I noticed he and the bandit had disappeared. Then I got a notice, "Erthor is unconscious" but he was no where to be found. I fast traveled to other places to see if he'd pop up but he didn't. Then I went to Skingrad to see if he had gone there himself. He wasn't there. I waited around Vilverin for a little more than 20 hours and still nothing. Will I ever be able to find him and finish the quest? So i went to the cave where he was susposed to be, and upon arrival i get a message saying that Erthor is unconscious, and then when i travel farther into the cave, theres no Erthor! Then i leave the cave and i get another message saying Erthor is unconscious, and i see his body in the water drowning. Help? He doesnt swim out of the water or anything, he stays there and goes unconscious every minute!^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.95.198.152 (talk • contribs).}

It appears you're stuck, if youre on the pc you can move and teleport him to your location, other than that I'm afraid that's the risk you take when using a quest specific follower.-Puddle ^{Talk•Contribs.} 22:15, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] A problem

Its not important for all here but readers of the guide should note it is wrong about sullines villenus doing the quest for you ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 121.216.24.234 (talk • contribs) on 5 July 2008.}

I've added some information about the disabled quest sections to the article. However, I did not make any reference to the Official Game Guide, because in my edition of the guide (the original version of the Prima game guide, from May 2006), it never states that Sulinus will do the quest. Can anyone confirm that another edition of the game guide says otherwise? If so, which specific edition of the game guide is it? --Nephele^Talk 01:48, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

Mine the first version i think said it in the city maps. thanks for adding it

The specific quote from the guide (1st edition, May 2006) is on p.365,#14 and states "...and if you're a pretty bad guy, Sulinus Vassinus will actually do the quest for you". I don't believe that this refers to Infamy, but is rather im[lyingthat you could just leave it for him to do, but I've never seen anything in game to suggest that this is an accurate statement.--Alphaman^•T• 03:07, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

It seems it was in the game at some point though. Look at the quest stages on the article and then read the last note. There's no way of activating those stages because the necessary dialogue options can never appear, but the code and AI packages are all present. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 03:17, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

Aha, found it in the Game Guide. Thanks, Alphaman for the exact page number -- my Game Guide has fallen apart, so without a page number finding an obscure note on one of the many loose pages would have been a bit overwhelming ;) --Nephele^Talk 16:32, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

I'd fix this, but it appears deliberately redacted. All of Sulinus' relevant dialog was set with the conditions that his disposition to the player is simultaneously less than zero and a positive number ie 50 or 70, which is of course impossible, so the dialog won't ever appear. If you ever see it changed from me it will only be via developer confirmation. Kivan 22:16, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
