anyone else noticed weird or stupid things in the game? heres two of my personal favorites:
1. on ajira's quest, get the flowers for the mages guild, you can buy two of the flowers directly from her.
2. i talked to a dagoth i found(you can talk to ash creatures, btw) and he had barter and repair options. in the barter menu, he offered to sell me his 6th house amulet. :confused: then i had him fix my sword and i killed him :D
anyway, post stuff like that you found.

:) :D :laugh: LOL! I didn't know that about the ash creatures! That is halarious! :laugh:

I noticed sometimes you enter a room and there is a person (who normally wouldn't do this) and they are paceing back and fourth then they get near the door and when you try to close the door, it hits them, and they kind of freak out and run out the room.:laugh: In that case I just take what I need. I found this happens mostly in the different cantons.

I also found it strange that the Cliff Racers' corpse go right through rocks and trees when you kill them. :speech:

I'm putting a SPOILER tag on this thread. Wing, please keep this in mind in the future: you give away any game hints, such as the stuff about the mage guild quests, and you need to add spoiler to the title. If not, your threads will suffer a sudden demise. ;)

oops. sorry, i thought it was just mq spoilers. sorry about that, i'll remember it.
@Rein: yeah, i've noticed that too. although sometimes, they try to run and there's a bed in the way. so the door doesn't open/close. it gets annoying when you have to get into a certain room, but there's a person in the way. :mad:

My personal favourite is luring monsters into a small little depression(spelling?), at any rate, some monsters dislike these little holes and start running in circles. Makes for fun killing.

Next favourite is stupid guards(usually ordinator at early game) who can be lured into the water(with you levitating above it) and drown as they swim vainly in circles trying to reach you. GOGO easy kills.

Stacking items, then removing one in the middle or on the bottom, leaving the others mysteriously floating in space. :D I don't do this for fun, but discovered it when I was shelving books from a stack I'd made.

I suppose this is more related to poor AI....

But the fact that you can go to places like Caldera and blithely walk into the guard towers, lift their gear... and if you are nibbling a mildly smelly cheese... walk it over to a certain merchant. I mean... you'd *think* they'd get suspicious! Especially if your character doesn't have high strength and needs to make several trips. :rolleyes:

i would think they would get even more suspicious when i leave dead bodies all over and when the vault doors mysteriously unlock and are empty. it must be aliens :)

Well, I have seen that happening to the citizens of Balmora. Sometime few of them walks to the edge of the canal, then drops down. :D


Also, another "stupid" thing was with one of the guild-quests, where I had to escort one NPC through the town to the boat. When We reached the boat, the NPC turned to crazy, begun to run towards the water, hit the water and kept on swimming away from the island... and the next island was loooooong distance away :D
