Sinking through the floor like that can be a mod problem. I would suggest that you uncheck Better Cities and see if the pirates bounce back to where they're actually supposed to be. If not, I would try disabling all mods and reabling them one by one and loading up the game in between each reable to see what is effecting them. If nothing, it might just be a strange glitch? Or, since its not that big of a problem, you can just leave them be.

Well, you'll have to be veeeeeeeeeeeeery patient if you expect to see me release any mods... Haha. :D I've actually managed to discover how to open up stuff in the CS, but other then that... well, I'm working on it. ^_^

ThePearl&dezdimona, ah, thank you, that seems to be the problem. (: No wonder I couldn't get it to work.

After having played Oblivion for a few years and Morrowind even longer before that, I decided to open up the CS for the first time ever today (never really felt the need to before). It was complete gibberish to me, but then in the end I found the little "Help" button at the top and started reading through the Tutorials. No dice. I do what the Tutorial says, and the picture on the tutorial shows that I should be able to see something in the Render-window when I drag and drop things from the Statics-window. Yet, nothing. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something wrong with the editor? How should I go about fixing this? And for some reason, I am unable to open up any Oblivion files in my CS, it seems only to recognize Morrowind. How do I get to the Oblivion CS? Or do I need to install something new? Blah, this all just seems waay too difficult for me. ^^''

I'm really a total wuss - all my dungeon-crawling is sneaking around rendered either 50-75% (or more, but I don't really like 100% where I can't see my hands - it makes it really hard to fight) invisible or chameleon and shooting things from behind corners with a well-aimed arrow. And if somethings manages to see me before I see them, or manages to survive my first arrow damage + extra sneakattack damage and comes running at me, I pull out either dual-wielded shortswords or a one-handed longsword. Usually the longsword, so that's what I put up for the poll. Longswords are nice and pretty. I can basically fight with any melee weapons and win the fight, but longswords have definately been the preferred method since day 1 back in Morrowind.

Varla, Welkynd and Sigil stones as well as armor, jewels, weapons, jewelry and clothes (I just love all the different kinds of clothes... :D) are all part of my collectionitems.. ^_^ Morrowind was awesome, I would steal the pillows from everywhere I saw and in the end I ended up having over 7000 pillows in one room of my house, all stacked on top of each other up to the ceiling. It was AWESOME! In Morrowind I also collected all kinds of Dwemer crap, especially the coins. And then of course I had a full set of every armor and every weapon type in the game.

This is what UESPWiki has to say on potion weight. Have you made the same potion with heavier ingredients before? That would be the cause of your problem.

After 100, I your Speed and your Strength etc still get better - you can still run faster, you can still carry more stuff, you can still get more health and more magicka. But there aren't any more skill perks, and things like Mysticism and the other magic-casting-skills, Hand-to-Hand and Blade really don't get any better anymore after you level them over 100. I guess theoretically you can deal more damage, but in practice when I've tested it out my character with level 255 Blade skill still takes the same number of hits to kill the Gatekeeper as my level 100 Blade skilled character.

Here in Finland, at least, we have it for sale at most game stores. o_ô GameStop, GameStore, Peliaitta etc still all sell them. I don't really know about the rest of Europe, though. You could always order it online.

UESPWiki is a really great source for all kinds of stuff, and you kind find the lists of creatures there as well, with their levels and all kinds of info on where to find them etc. Vanilla Oblivion Creatures Shivering Isles Creatures These (of course) don't display mod-added creatures. Mods like MMM and FCOM (haven't tired FCOM, but I have MMM and works great!) also add more creatures, some more challenging than the Vanilla ones.

I once filled Lake Rumare with watermelons. Spawned 30 000 at a time using the console, did this maybe 10 or 15 times and my computer got sooooooo slow. But yeah, I achieved my goal, the whole freaking lake was full of watermelons. :D Using Unnecessary Violence and killing guards and other NPCs with stuff like oranges, cheese wheels and apples is loads of fun. Blackberries work too. I can entertain myself for HOURS if I have about 700 cheese wheels - I climb (or TCL...) the wall at the Arcane University and pummel people down below with cheese wheels! Yaaay! The NPCs start running around and yelling "HELP! SOMEONE'S BEEN MURDERED!" but the guards can't catch me and just give me more targets. <3 Gotta love UV. Oh yes, and shooting an arrow straight up in the air and trying to get it to hit yourself straight through your head is loads of fun. I actually managed it once, I was so excited. ^_^ And once a random dude named "TEST NPC" or something like that fell out of the sky with an arrow through his chest when I was doing this. o_O I resurrected him with console codes and he turned out to be a beggar, or atleast have the voice and clothes of one. It was quite wierd.

My most epic kill was probably when I was fighting a few guards in some town, and one of them forces me to talk to him while I had an arrow in like "ready position" to shoot. I tell him I'll surrender, and after the conversation exits the arrow goes flying through the guard's head and immediately I get the loading screen because I'm being taken to the castle blahblahblah. When the loading screen exits, the guard with my arrow through his head suddenly falls down from the sky right in front of me. o_O Miraculously, he was still alive after falling, and tries to re-arrest me for attempting to kill him. As soon as I tell him that I'll resist arrest, he just crumples on the ground dead. :D

The painted trolls-quest was really hard, though that might be because I tried it out the first time at around level 15 or so. The freaking trolls just kept killing me, and I couldn't kill them and used up the turpentine bottles on the first troll. Aaaaaa. But I finally managed to find this one rock they couldn't get up on and I could, so I just hid there and shot them all coward-style. ^_^ The Ultimate Heist was hard, I just kept screwing up all the time and I probably had to restart the quest 5-7 times before I realized I should save more often. For one, I missed the hole-thing and lost the special arrow you needed (Arrow of Extrication?), kept getting caught by the guards, died while falling down from the chimney after forgetting to put on the Boots of Springheel Jak etc. I failed so bad at that, but I was really fun. :D

The unicorn will attack you whenever you pull out any weapon (if I remember correctly), so it's really only a possible mount for people who depend completely on magic during fights and have no followers (it will attack your followers if they are wielding weapons as well). You can use a moderate-leveled Command Creature / Calm Creature-spell on it though, which should work to make the unicorn not attack you. The unicorn isn't really usable as a mount anyway, as soon as you leave it at the stables somewhere and go into the city / leave it outside of a ruin and exit the cell, it wanders back to the Harcane Grove.

Well, out of just plain normal creatures, I think the highest leveled ones are Gnarl Elder, Grummite Deathdealer and Mended Flesh Atronach (all level 23) for Shivering Isles, and Lich (starting level 26, but levels upward with the player) for Oblivion. Then there's all the special animals and creatures that are only part of one quest. I would have to say that Mehrunes Dagon is probably the hardest thing to kill in all of Oblivion, as he has 1000 health, 100 melee attack and is impossible to kill by a mortal (unless you find a workaround for this, I think there are a few). It's only possible to stagger him temporarily.
