Shivering talk:Fain

Pit=Subterranean Lake

The article tells you that you'll fall down into a pit. A little misleading, and the first time I made my descent I could not help but think "At this height, my character isn't going to survive the impact at bottom!". Truly, the character could not have if it weren't for the fact that you land in deep water instead of hard rock.Dark Spark 23:44, 15 December 2007 (EST)

You know you can edit the articles yourself, right? You should feel free to add information like that yourself rather than asking somebody else. —Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 03:02, 16 December 2007 (EST)

And you know that some people with an odd sense of semantics will just go back and revert the article because they feel that (subterranean lake aside) that a pit is a pit, and that thing there-- well, it's a pit! They'll tell me that Fain was obviously designed to freak the first-time player out. I'm looking for a little thing called 'discussion and consensus' before rocking this boat with those folks. I've been bitten once. so I'm twice as shy.Dark Spark 14:08, 16 December 2007 (EST)

Deepest Pit?

Just for reference, the drop down into the lake is roughly 17,400 units; Dive Rock is roughly 14,700 units and Mt Sheogorath is 15,700 units. That means the claim that the pit is the deepest drop in the game is probably correct. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 06:42, 27 November 2008 (EST)

Except there are bottomless pits such as those in Lost Boy Cavern. --Nephele^Talk 12:02, 27 November 2008 (EST)

Morrowinds Jiub?

Is it possible that Gyub is a reference to Jiub from Morrowind? — Unsigned comment by 82.14.75.188 (talk) on 29 November 2008

Given that Jiub is actually mentioned in dialogue in Oblivion, I'm going to say "no" on this one. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 01:35, 30 November 2008 (EST)

Possibly "Gyub" is the noise the heretics make when they fall into the water? Similar to "Glub"? Auguil 23:45, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I highly doubt it. --Elliot^(T-C) 09:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Surviving the fall

My level 3 heroine had some trouble surviving the fall. I didn't do any proper testing, but based on a few drops you might have a better chance of survival if you fall while sneaking (when I was sneaking I didn't get wounded; when I wasn't sneaking, I died every time). I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence, but it's worth a try. --IronMaiden 16:29, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

surviving and the volunteer

theres a scroll called burst of might wich shields you 100% for 5 seconds i used that near the end of my fall and survived. sometimes in oblivion you get characters that when they die there bodies are there for ever. the dead volounteres is there for ever and if you take there inventory away then give them daedric armour go out of teh relm then come back acople of days later the person is waring the armour its fun. like toteus sexiteus outside my skingrad house has the imperial dragon armour on i lol every time.— Unsigned comment by Charlie 3rd (talk • contribs)

I dont think shield works anything against falls, but i cant say for sure though. --Archain 17:32, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Surviving depends on landing in the deep water. If you hit a rock you die. Legoless 17:58, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
