wolron Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I was collecting the Boots of the Apostle (third game) and noticed something that I had never noticed before. I happened to be looking at one of those lava vents that are in many of the caverns of Vvardenfell and suddenly there were words of description given on it. Usually when you find something that is notable to the point of having a description, there is a use for it. Is there a use for this lava vent? The words were "Large Steaming Lava Vent". I guess there may be no more use for this than the numerous pieces of machinery in the Dwemer Ruins that also have descriptive words given when you view them. But hey, it is worth the question.

Ebecad Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I could go into explanation about this, but I'll just give you a simple no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmac Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 No relation to anything- like the Pool of Forgetfullness, it is merely there for decoration. It is the same thing with the Dwemer machines- they have names because they are Activators- they move. The Vent is an Activator because it has the moving steam. No further meaning.

saldrex Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Their only point is to spew steam, nothing more. They do nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Thief Oriana Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 They do do something else- they add to the ambiance. otherwise, youd be going through saying stuff like "wow. why is huge rock with a hole sticking out of the ground?" plus, i think they need to make it have a label for it to act using their scripts. like how if it didnt it would just sit there like the walls.

cmac Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 plus, i think they need to make it have a label for it to act using their scripts. Having a script attached to it has nothing to do with having a script. The only script on the vents is the one to make it produce the steaming sound.

Breton Thief Oriana Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 hey, i dont know scripts. i just say what i think. but it would make sense. everything that acts/reacts/etc. has a script attached to it, correct? and everything that A/R/Etc. has a label too.

saldrex Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 They have scripts but having a script has nothing to do with the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohGr Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 yeah, since their an activator, they have a label, but their only decoration, they only have scripts unless they emmit a sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolron Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 OK, if I am interpreting the answers correctly, anything that has motion must have a label. That would explain why some things are labeled even though you do not need to do anything with them. Sounds good to me. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
