The "statue"

I have completed the main quest and have been told about my statue. Where exactly is this statue. I look in the bruma castle courtyard but there is only one statue of this older man, which was there the whole time? Is this a bug? Anyone?

It's right by the north gate, just outside the castle gate.

Do you get to pick what you want to wear when the statue is made?

It depends on what you're wearing when you win the Battle of Bruma, I think. There's different statues for light armour, heavy armour, robes and clothes, but it won't show the exact type of armour you're wearing, just generic light/heavy armour. I think it shows what weapon you had equipped too, although it's not always accurate - my mage guy was holding a staff in his statue, which he was actually using to dish out some pwnage to the Kynmarchers in the Sigil keep, but my ranger was carrying a sword in his statue when he'd never touched a weapon other than a bow.

I might go and have a root around on the wiki to see what I can find out about it.

Editski - just found this, hope it helps.

"When you return to Bruma from Cloud Ruler Temple, you will find a statue of you as the Savior of Bruma, located to your right when entering the city from the North Gate. The statue's appearance is determined when you give the Great Sigil Stone to Martin: the armor and weapon will actually be the best quality items that you had in your inventory at the time, not necessarily the items that you had equipped. The game determines the "best" items, not just the most expensive items, taking into account enchantments; for example, the Dark Brotherhood Black Hand Robe has zero value but will take precedence over many other items, including some magical armor. If you are very particular about the appearance of your statue, it is recommended that you leave all of your additional items in a safe place before talking to Martin."

I wonder if this means you can appear in your statue naked... I also wonder why that thought entered my mind in the first place.

Do you remember how cold is it there?! Are you sure you'd want people to see you naked when it's that cold.....

I think it comes down to the fact that I've spent the night drowning my sorrows with a bottle of scotch more than anything else... Damn by big mouth (keyboard?), I've incriminated myself again.

I dunno. A statue of your character in the buff would definitely lend itself to that "Greek/Roman" vibe the Empire puts out.

i dont' know if it was just a coincedence (i don't think i spelled that right) but my statue was exactly the armor i wore. i also wore it all the time, so maybe it's what you most commonly use for the statue? but mine was perfect exactly, and might i say, i have a strange armor config.

It depends on the armor you have in your inventory (not just by value. For example, your character would wear Black Hand Robes instead of your chainmail suit, even though the robes are worth 0). If you want your statue to look exactly the way you want it, drop all other weapons and armor/clothing before talking to Martin once you close the Great Gate. Then, travel to Cloud Ruler Temple and talk with Martin. Go to Bruma and it should be wearing what you wanted it to.

I too had a bad statue experience this time around. I've played it through once on my PC and the statue came out almost perfect for me, with my Knights of the Nine armor, and mace instead of the sword I'd have wanted, but fine nonetheless. My statue on PS3, however, came out with my character holding a staff, despite the fact that I might have used it once in the entire siege. Kind of annoying because my character is a warrior/knight type, not a mage. Oh well, just don't look at it much if it's bad I guess.
