David Brasher Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I have become very nervous about being on the ground floor of a sigil keep. This is the area near the big pool of lava with the beam of light going up to the sigil stone. The spot where you leave the entryway and enter the round room seems to be the worst. As far as I know, it is a vanilla Oblivion thing. I think it happened even before I started using mods. Your character just suddenly loses all his or her heath points and is dead. Your character might be level 40 and have 400 hit points. It does not matter. It is like you crashed into a kill box or had a scripted death. I have not yet found anything in the CS that could cause this. Is there something in the hard code? Is this just a bug? Or were there supposed to be random deaths when in a sigil keep?

Weihoppa2 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm guessing you stepped within the middle beam of light. Or you were just 1 hit KO'ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaosals42 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 It tends to happen to me as well around especially the pool of lava on the bottom floors of the sigil towers, but can happen without 100% magicka resistance along any other parts of the beam of light in the center of each tower. I don't think it's a bug as much as just a part of the game. Try and get into the side rooms of the towers as quickly as possible to reduce the chances of this happening.

Matoyak Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 If it is a Vanilla 'blivion thing, it must be a PC-only issue, as I logged over 500 hrs into the 360 Oblivion without ever encountering something the likes of which y'all describe. Can't comment on the PC version, as I have never played a vanilla PC Oblivion, I modded it right from the start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weihoppa2 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yeah, that's why I think they're just hitting the middle beam, which spreads out pretty far on the bottom floor, and I have over 500 hours on my 360, without ever doing that. o.O And i've been through about 40 gates? So dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 I know the light beam itself kills. My companions, enemies, and even myself when I have been stupid and careless have died when hitting the beam of light itself. But are you guys saying that the zone of death caused by the light beam is invisible and stretches many meters around the beam of light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be. I was never stupid enough to leave the edge of the room, so I wouldn't know. (just joking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
