things you found weird about cyrodiil

[Lainge]

-During the Ultimate Heist how you can survive the giant fall with only 35 acrobatics and only take less and a third of my health away.

 

I could have sworn I was wearing the boots, but nope. No biggy...

 

-The zombies are one of the hardest creatures to fight, even when they don't have a head?

[jaysus]

@ cheese - you can get it from the sheeps roaming some of the meadows

@ glass - if it would be used just on the edges it could improve a stee wepon like those diamond blades used on tools nower days - otherwise its absolutely nonsense (and the looks are bulldung too)

@ silver - if used for ornaments only it would work vs werewolves but keep a stable and sturdy blade

@ sexual pleasures - read the "lusty argonian maid" or some of the other more lovely books... or what about the lady you get with your skingrad home? she isnt just there for cleaning up or making a meal imo... also that dancer in sheogoraths palace is quite resembling of earthly delights

@crossbows - ya true but they could have imported some other useful tools too... like skooma pipes, spears, earthly delights and of course the famous fargoth...

@peninsula - thats nothing in the sky thats a "half-island"... a part of land which is extended from the mainland or an island thats connected to the mainland

 

totally agree on the toilet problem...

 

most annoying are all those speeches about the mighty imperial legion and all that crap... theres like 20 of them... and why the heck do i have to fight for the empire in the first place? they suck... they adore slavery, capitalism and totalitarian regimes that do no good and rely on heroes to save the day... pitiful...

 

the only honest and just people in the game are thieves lol...

 

everybody talks bout necromancy but yet theres only one item in the whole world that actually lets you raise the dead for a mere few seconds...

 

drugs of any kind dont actually affect your senses or your movement (try gothics swampweed spliffs for a comparision)

 

everyone has the same voice... some people have two voices...

 

guards that can smell you over miles even tho you only smell your sweat, the sent of a rotting pizza and that of a spliff...

 

where is tribunals mournhold? wasnt that supposed to be the imperial city? and why did that one have crossbows and spears and skooma pipes and stuff but none of these appear in oblivions imperial city....

 

whats up in morrowind and solstheim? from the rumours it sounds like the nevarine started quite some unrest... thus why do i now stand on the other side of the battle? first i fight the empire to free the dunmer and nords and now i fight for em?

 

who created so many ugly helmets?

 

many many more things that need improvement lore wise and realism wise indeed

[orionas]

The weirdest thing I have found is that the emperor is dead and before he dies he says that I must deliver his amulet to Jauffre immediately. But I can do everything for as much as I want before delivering it. This happens in every main quest and I think that there should be a time limit between quests.

 

Generally not only the plot but many aspects of the game are not realistic. But on the other hand Oblivion is not Sims. Imagine being in the middle of shutting an Oblivion gate and the game suddenly says that you must rest/eat/go to the toilet etc...

 

I think that some aspects should be more realistic (like the main and the side quests) but others should remain the same (because realism does not always mean entertainment).

they adore slavery, capitalism and totalitarian regimes that do no good and rely on heroes to save the day... pitiful...

Epic Lore Fail! The Empire banned slavery throughout Tamriel. Except Morrowind, but by the time TES IV takes place, it has been abolished there, as well.

 

where is tribunals mournhold? wasnt that supposed to be the imperial city?

Mournhold is on the mainland of Morrowind. Morrowind is a province. The game Morrowind takes place on the Vvardenfell District (the island with Red Mountain). See the map here to brush up on your geography.

The role of the Nerevarine wasn't to fight the empire, it was to fight Dagoth Ur/destroy Kagrenac's Profane Tools. The Sixth House propaganda wanted the Nerevarine to kick out the Outlanders - probably appealing to Dunmer that didn't like the changes grought by the Empire (such as the Empire wanting to abolish slavery). I don't recall any TES IV rumors regarding Solstheim. Plenty regarding Skyrim, though; apparently, the Nords are invading Morrowind again. Saint Juib has killed the cliffracers (hurrah!), Dres and Indoril have collapsed (Dres probably due to the lack of slavery, Indoril because of the upheavel caused by the death of

Sotha Sil, Almalexia

, and the disappearance of Vivec - that is to say, Indoril had become very Tribunal-centric, and the collapse of the Tribunal probably dealth them a crippling blow, politically).

[jaysus]

i always fought the empire in morrowind lol... the tribes gave me what the empire couldnt and i joined their course (skooma, dancers, all the fun stuff)

ok maybe they abolished slavery but still theyre evil imo

mournhold... nah thats not on morrowind... if you look on the map if youre there its somewhere else and storywise they tell you its in cyrodile, even the emperor resides there tuhs it should be the imperial city

i always took solstheim for a part of skyrim... is it not?

[Alaisiagae]

mournhold... nah thats not on morrowind... if you look on the map if youre there its somewhere else and storywise they tell you its in cyrodile, even the emperor resides there tuhs it should be the imperial city

Nope, not the emperor. You must be thinking of King Helseth. They don't say that Mournhold is in Cyrodiil, they say it "is on the mainland," i.e., the mainland of the Morrowind province. When you teleport to Mournhold, the map marker for your character on the global map is the location of where you teleported. If you are using the mage (Asciene Rane) in Ebonheart, your global character-map-marker will remain fixed in Ebonheart. If you use Barilzar's Mazed Brand after the Tribunal MQ, your global character-map-marker will remain fixed where-ever you were when you equipped the ring to teleport. This just has to do with how the game treats the cells that make up Mournhold.

 

i always took solstheim for a part of skyrim... is it not?

Nope. It isn't part of any province. Learn more about Solstheim here.

[jaysus]

aha :)

so vvardenfell is the island morrowind takes place on... morrowind is bigger than cyrodiil and solstheim is an island in the morrowind province....

mournhold is far east of cheydinhal and the capital of morrowind which is under occupation back during tes3

skyrim is north of cyrodiil and borders morrowind thus the border trouble between norse and dunmer i guess...

solstheim is part of morriwind tho according to this map

 

but why is vvardenfell larger than cyrodiil ingame?

and whats on the other side of the globe?

 

oh i wish theyd make some addons with quests and adventures for all the provinces... or at least lend the voice actors to some mod teams like silgrad tower...

[Wingfoot]

Well, I'm no really great TES loremaster, but it is possible that Tamriel resides on a flat world. Who says that world follows the same rules as ours? :)

 

Things I found weird:

Throughout the game you get huge, amazingly sharp swords, and yet the most powerful sword in the game looks volcanic/organic, like it would break or wiggle like jello if you actually hit anyone with it.

 

Gold, keys, and lockpicks weigh nothing and take up no amount of space.

 

Even when you are the temporary emperor of Tamriel, you:

1: Can still be a novice of guilds and are not promoted for saving the world.

2: are yelled at for entering people's houses; those ungrateful jerks aren't the slightest bit honored to have the world's savior in their house.

3: are not allowed to kill, steal, or even sleep in abandoned bedrolls, even though you are king.

4: are forced to sleep in dirty inns and outside if you don't have a house. How come you don't get to live in the huge freakin' palace?

 

There are sidewalks in every city, but no travel on the roads. They don't even allow horses in cities! What's the point of sidewalks?

 

No one seems to care when close friends or relatives have been killed. They say things like, "Damn shame, that," but go right on smiling like nothing happened.

 

Sometimes people really enjoy being coerced. Freaks.

 

There are no children or cats, and all the dogs are evil!

 

EDIT: Wait. There IS actually one child! A child with an eerily manly voice! The Adoring Fan!

 

Speaking of which, they couldn't give a kid twenty bucks to say that guy's line? They had to make one of the generic voice actors do it? Pretty sad.

[inkheart449]

There is an Island near the IC(or was it further down the River) that if you fly near it you can see a Cave and people on the island

However

You cannot GET to the island

Every time i've tried to get onto that island it blocks me

[jaysus]

flat world? impossible even with the crazy havoc physics... we can see the moon and stars and so on thus their universe should be similiar with ball like objects flying through space... well maybe the map is just like our world maps and covers the whole planet whatever it is called... question that arises is: is there live outside the tes planet?

 

ya the models of some weapons are really awkward indeed lol agreed :)

 

as far as i understand it you dont become the emperor... cancellour merkel erm ocato takes the job of temporary emperor or leader of the senate or whatever that is...

in the imperial empire i doubt the emperor has absolute might and owns everything but depends on the good will of the people and the senate thus he doesnt own everything and cant go on a killing spree like all people anyway...

 

but ya a nice lil house or a villa for the hero would be nice mainly so because the armor is not really that mighty a present for saving the day imo

 

there are sidewalks because traders using chameleon while (to not get robbed) pushing their lorries around... you just dont see em ;)

 

maybe some npcs are buddhists(any daedra resembling buddhism?) and thus dont get angry even if you just killed their wives and looted their houses

(nah its basicly a game limitation - they would need to rework the whole talk and perception system to make em stay angry and not talk to you or at least keep the emotion they have towards you before you activate the chat... if you steal and they kill yo its murder still)

 

not all dogs are evil ;) for exampl ethey chorrol ones are lovely pleasant buddies of that old babe...

 

the adoring fan is a wood elf... they are all that small maybe hes an adult and thus speaks that way...

 

ya agree somemore voice actors even if they were amateurs would have been nice... but probably hard to do because you would need thousands of people to come to a record studio and wait in line if you wanted an individual voice for everyone...
