Yeah, there's a note in Vaciente's room in the DB sanctuary about how someone keeps putting garlic in his food and it's making him sick. He eats solid food.
Monsters are bred in labyrinths, labyrinths are bred from walls. There is a reason the Giants choose to remain nomadic rather than follow their shield kin the Nords in building permanent settlements. The Tower is the beginning of all walls.

How much did Oblivion cost (for PC) when it was released? I got the Game of the Year Deluxe version from Steam during the most recent time on sale, and it was $12.99, so I'm wondering how that compares. I've figured out that the expansions/DLC, when you add together their original cost, totals something like $26 for the PC, but what about the actual game itself? Oddly, I've not been able to find that anywhere, just current prices.

Not to mention everyone have reinforced doors, also the odd fact that everyone has garlic in there basements, to keep out the vampires! hehehe. Skingrad is quite a lovely place. :heart: :heart: :heart:

Well, I didn't kill any, quite the opposite, I healed some of those rats with my spell.
Since then I befriended one of the ugly things, I call it Sparky :P

I have had a pair of questions on my mind for a while...

1. Is an inhabitant of the region of Nibenay within Cyrodiil Nibenean or Nibenese?
2. I know that the Imperial City, Cheydinhal, Bravil and Leyawiin are Niben(ese/ean) cities, and Anvil, Kvatch, Skingrad and Chorrol are Colovian. Is Bruma a Niben(ese/ean) city or a Colovian one? Where does the boundary between the regions lie?

After careful examination I've come to the conclusion that Glen Beck played Oblivion.

From what I've read in the in game books, and on the wiki:
1. Nibenese.
2. Bruma is, technically, Nibenese. I'm not sure of the exact boundary though.

I found the person you are referring to, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Tsavi, and she does say Nibenean. However, in some of the books by this person, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Alessia_Ottus, she calls it Nibenese AND Nibenean. Apparently it's both.

Thanks for the info, but the last time I played I found one on one of the Vampires in the Mara Shrine quest...Not only that, but it was magical as well, Resist magic 15%

Thanks again though... :D

Its just pure script, you and npc's could go their whole game without eating food and nothing bad will happen.

Ah, as I suspected, hehe. I always thought it was weird that you never see anything about that in the CS, so I guess this explains it. Weird to have it there, but I suppose it it great for realism... in a fantasy game, lol.

When I first played Oblivion and I stole all the food for my alchemy, I started worrying that all the NPCs would be dead when I got back.
