I didn't catch what he said before I pushed him. Does anybody have his last words written down for posterity?

[edit] Other Issue

Almost immediately after him approaching me on the street, he ran off and somehow got killed, similar to what seems to happen to Big Head

[edit] She was right...

That Dark Seducer was right about that railing idea. I myself have accidentaly fallen from that ledge on several occaisions. --Darth NANAME 20:02, 28 December 2007 (EST)

The Guard there is also blind, they call it an accident when you push him off in front of her.

Maybe she doesn't care.

[edit] Feels Incomplete

I'm sure the folks at Bethesda have heard all about this one (it was even mentioned in the guidebook), but why is there no bloodless way to help poor Hirrus? I honestly thought when he said he wanted to be removed from all the agony, "Ooh! I can lead him back to Tamriel!" or "Well I bet I can help him with a warm smile and not a cold blade." Or at least lead him through the gate into Bliss... Why must Hirrus Clutumnus die or be ignored? Does anyone else even like playing as the charming, peace-loving Imperial? I just think if there was a way to comfort him without killing him, the quest would feel a lot more complete. As it is, the quest in my game remains unfinished, and I can't help but feel bad when I look up at his ledge. Mannius Mello 23:39, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

He had a ring of happiness and took it off because he didn't like it. I'm satisfied with saying "This guy was just too dumb to ever be happy. Quest over." 68.37.212.149 03:14, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I don't know about dumb, but as a resident of the Shivering Isles, it can probably be assumed his mental illness was simply too severe to do anything about. Wearing the ring must've felt to him like being permanently on mind-altering drugs. I found it pretty sad, personally. --82.46.229.94 19:04, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

Sad indeed. Which is why I had hoped that I, the hero and savior of Tamriel, could make a difference. Especially with such a Speechcraft and Personality as mine. I guess even Champions of Cyrodiil can't reach everyone... Mannius Mello 21:30, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

Yes, it does feel incomplete. I did this quest without saving and after, read his will. After I read the Will I reloaded to my last save and tried to make friends with him, but it wasn't possible. So this quest will remain unfinished for me as well. (76.113.169.61 21:05, 7 August 2008 (EDT))

What does it really matter? It's just a game. It's not really like you're going to push some poor, helpless person to their death 50 feet below. It is funny what the Dark Seducer says, though.Oblivion nerd 22:30, 25 November 2008 (EST)

[edit] "Unjamming" the Quest?

This has been marked as a question that needs to be answered. When you meet Hirrus by the sewer grate to initially hear his problem, you are given the option to respond 'I'm sorry, I can't help you out'. Answering as such will result in the quest staying active with the update "Hirrus Clutumnus has asked for my help, I've turned him down", and the marker staying on him. Unfortunately, unlike most other quests that can be delayed indefinitely with such an answer, speaking with Hirrus again at any time results in the "Best not to talk about it here. Meet me by the sewer grate near the statue." response. He will never return to the grate or converse with you normally, essentially "jamming" the quest.

Couldn't you use Command Humanoid on him? --Debatra 13:03, 28 November 2008 (EST)
