Re: Thieves Guild Armor

Chainmail, eh? You're gonna be repairing it after every fight.

Well bumping it up to Glass would make it too broken. I intend this to be something for low to mid-level characters. Like the Shrouded Armor is for the DB.

Glass I'd reserve for an upgraded set added to the Guildmaster's Quarters ...

Thieves Guild Armor

I've been tinkering the past couple of days on a mod that adds a set of Thieves Guild Armor similar to the kind you get in Skyrim.

I decided to make each piece Leather in appearance and weight, but with the armor and health of Chainmail.

For a helmet, I extracted the Black Hood mesh and texture ...

Re: Why's the Fighters Guild door always locked?

I just looked at the Oblivion.esm in the Construction Set, every Fighter's Guild Hall door starts the game locked except the one in Cheydinhall.

Anyway it doesn't matter. The issue usually sorts itself out in a couple days or when one of the Guild Members enters/exits if I don't just unlock the ...

Why's the Fighters Guild door always locked?

Every time I go to join the Fighters Guild, the door is always locked even in the middle of the afternoon. It doesn't matter if it's in Chorrol or Anvil. (I haven't checked Cheydinhal yet)

I've actually encountered this for years, but never gave it much thought.

Re: What are Renault and Glenory's hair and eye colors?

Huh? Well isn't that something. I figured the developers probably just went with the default hair and eyes considering these two NPC only matter for all of five minutes.

I thought Glenroy was an Imperial. Looks like he's got a bit of Redguard in him.

This is interesting...thank you.

Re: Missing Guilbert Jemane

I don't think having two Guilberts would effect the outcome of the Sins of the Father quest. It's not like the quest depends on whether they survive or not. They're always essential until you actually complete that quest anyway.

Shouldn't you be able to just click and disable one of them?

Re: The merits of Luck

I think the only other thing Luck affects besides Skills is the chance your team wins in the Arena when gambling (not when you're fighting in the Arena yourself).

*checks the Arena page*

Yup a Luck of 100 gives the fighter you bet on a +30 HP modifier.

Re: The merits of Luck

Luck kind of sucks. It only increases your skills by about 2 points for every 5 points of Luck over 50.

A Luck stat of 100 would effectively increase all of your skills by 20, but Luck has no effect on skills already at 100.

Since you can only increase Luck by 1 point per level up, by the time you ...

Conjuration doesn't affect the creatures you summon.

A Summon Skeleton will be just as powerful at Skill Level 25 as it would at 100.

Too many of the DB quest rewards become useless at mid-high levels. Some are bugged and need the UOP just to work properly.

I don't understand how a skeleton can lose track of you the second after smacking you with an axe (i.e. in mid melee), but it can if it is dark enough and your sneak is high.

In my head-canon, Skeletons and most other undead-type enemies have low intelligence. This is why Undead Summoning spells ...

Well it should work. As I said I've used the command to move the display cases in Rosethorn Hall somewhere out of sight (simply disabling them doesn't seem to work). I hate display cases.
