96.240.176.246: /* Disapearing Buildings */

A discussion that some of the townsfolk have is that they think something sketchy is up at The Oak and Crosier, but I don't see a quest listed for it. Merely suspicious and gossipy townsfolk? Maybe a quest that was removed? --[[User:Natpoor|Natpoor]] 14:06, 10 August 2007 (EDT)
:It's mentioned at [[Oblivion:Unfinished Quests]], with additional discussion at [[Oblivion Talk:Easter Eggs/Archive 2#Addendum for Oak and Crosier Topic]]. --[[User:Nephele|Nephele]][[User_talk:Nephele|Talk]] 00:37, 13 August 2007 (EDT)

== house ==

Can you get a servant?

No, only in [[Oblivion:Rosethorn_Hall|the Skingrad house]].

== Dying Man? ==

I just heard this rumor for the first time from Pista Marillin:

"There's a man at the Chorrol Chapel, living in the undercroft. I heard he's dying of something."

Can someone refresh my memory was this a comment on a quest I've already finished?
:Most likely referring to [[Oblivion:Kellen|Kellen]], one of the NPCs added by the Knights of the Nine expansion. --[[User:Dark Spark|Dark Spark]] 23:07, 8 March 2008 (EST)

== City Layouts ==

Why are all the city page layouts different? Shouldn't they be in the same format? For example, Anvil has a sub section for each area in the town whereas Chorrol does not. This is confusing and I hope somebody could tell me why it is like this. --[[User:Matthewest|Matthewest]] •[[User_Talk:Matthewest|T]]•[[Special:Contributions/Matthewest|C]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Matthewest|E]]• 04:18, 12 May 2008 (EDT)
:The city pages specific to Oblivion are being transcluded through their respective pages in the Tamriel section of the wiki: expanding the Tamriel version of each city's page will fill in the respective Oblivion version. In order to maintain consistency, I've been expanding those articles using [[User:Something_Wicked|Something_Wicked's]] original work on the aforementioned Anvil article as a rough template, using the in-game touring guides of Alessia Ottus to set the district sections. —[[User:Dark Spark|Dark Spark]] 01:01, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

== Disapearing Buildings ==

I was in chorrol and i came around the place were mordreyn oreyns house was and all the buildings are gone only the doors are left can anyone help me {{unsigned|67.193.207.75|22 November 2009}}

: I just had this happen too, for the second time. All the houses southwest of the chapel just disappear. They even disappear from the map. It fixes when I exit to the main menu and reload the save. [[Special:Contributions/96.240.176.246|96.240.176.246]] 22:05, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

== Chorrol Statue ==

Is it just me or does chorrol's statue look exactly like the statue at the Vietnam Memorial [http://img.groundspeak.com/waymarking/6a1facaa-477d-4abf-960c-14020eb3caf0.jpg]

If we're going to include the fact that it looks like the Michelangelo statue, I think we should include this comparison as well. {{unsigned|68.2.113.128|4 January 2010}}

:It seems to resemble ''La Pieta'' more, considering that it only features two people. --[[User:GuildKnight|GK]][[User_talk:GuildKnight|talk2me]] 05:21, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

:: Bear in mind that Bethesda's Main Offices were, until recently, close to Washington D.C., where the statue at the Vietnam Memorial, called "The Vietnam Women's Memorial[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_Women%27s_Memorial]", is located. More than a few locations in The Elder Scrolls series bear more than passing resemblances and references to places and people near Bethesda, Maryland, especially if they've made an influence on a design lead or team member. Also bear in mind that Chorrol's statue features a sword and what appears to be a Corinthian-inspired helm, indicating the wounded man is probably a soldier, which probably means the woman is a healer. Isn't there an "in-game" book that tells the "story behind" the statue or something? [[User:Predcon|Predcon]] 05:05, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

::: I thought it was a memorial to the Battle of Sancre Tor (as written in A Guide to Chorrol : "When you enter the gate, you find yourself in Fountain Gate, before the fine pool and statue of the Saint of Sancre Tor, in memory of all who died in that great battle"). It definitely is a "pietà", even if not Michelangelo's one. [[Special:Contributions/90.24.232.155|90.24.232.155]] 21:11, 20 March 2011 (UTC)Landän

== A Naughty Countess ==

Has anyone else noticed that Countess Valga has a couple of the daedric associated books (the ones with the purple covers) in her room? Is there a dark past about her that is ever spoken of or are we just left to speculate?--[[User:Zefiewings|Zefiewings]] 19:24, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

:A lot of people have books like that for example there is Mythic Dawn Commentaries 3 in the Arena, this doesnt mean they have "dark pasts"--[[User:Arny|Arny]] 20:28, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

== Chorrol Fame ==

Everyone in Chorrol loves me, and i have no idea why.

I'm playing a Male Breton spellsword (custom), level 20, personality unchanged or modified by items or spells and stands at 40. I have about 50 fame, having finished the mages guild quest line, most of the Arena line and just starting the Fighters guild line. The fighters guild line is what brought me back to Chorral for the first time since "fingers of the mountain". I haven't gained any infamy either. I have not started the Main quest or even visited Jauffre.

So i'm making my way around Chorral and it strikes me that everyone who comes by says the nicest things. Even dark elves and orcs. So i started doing some disposition checks. All the guards are 100, as well as the Countess and her staff, upon my very first visit to the chambers. The beggars are 100, and i've never given them money or even talked to them before this. The only folks not at 100 were a dark elf at 94 and an orc at 92 (don't have names, sorry). Even the merchant at Fire and Steel likes me (over 90), and i hadn't traded with her.

I checked with guild mates but they seem normal. 100 was to be expected from the mage guild and the fighters guild folks are between 70 and 90, which seems normal.

I haven't done any quests for any of the local people here yet. I was nice to Dar-Ma when she approached me long ago, and i hear she's gone missing since.

I cleared cache (i play goty edition on the xbox) restarted but it's unchanged. I checked with other towns and they are normal to me. guards being about 59-60 towards me, for example.

Anyone else experience this, or can explain this please ?[[Special:Contributions/79.234.144.198|79.234.144.198]] 02:58, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

:The only thing I would consider what has happened is that the mages guild and the Arena quests have boosted your fame. I can't think of anything else. [[User:JackTurbo95|JackTurbo95]] 19:16, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

== good defense ==

Why are there so many watch tower, are they full of guard?([[User:Vvardfell|Vvardfell]] 13:23, 19 December 2010 (UTC))

It's just the design.

== Building bug ==
Sometimes occurs that the buildings in the southwest part of the city will disappear. I don`t know why, but all the people, walls, and houses will disappear. Not only disappear from sight, but also physically. You can see behind the chorrol walls and also go out of the city simply walking through the invisible wall. Only the doors and the ground will remain. If you open theese flying doors you enter in the house normally and it`s all right. But if you exit you will see only a flying door and the shape of the house in the ground. In the map you will see this part of city without the walls and the houses and the other part normal. I`ve all unofficial and official patch installed and i don`t have any mod.
A reload of the game is not effective.
A '''game restart''' should fix this issue, but sometimes the problem will reappear. --[[Special:Contributions/193.205.213.166|193.205.213.166]] 14:25, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

:Confirmed in my game as well. If there are more people with this problem, we should make a general note of it on the Chorrol page. [[Special:Contributions/74.132.249.206|74.132.249.206]] 12:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

:Wow, this just happened to me as well - except I didn't even see any doors, just ground. A huge chunk of the city wall is missing, and before it, a large expanse of ground, all the buildings gone. Reloading didn't fix - quitting (exiting the game completely), then reloading my saved game seemed to fix the issue.

== LOTR Reference? ==

Can anyone else see a minor resemblences between chorrol and minas tirith? They both have trees as their symbol and a central "great" tree.The Great Oak in chorrol and the White tree in minas Tirith.[[User:Dragon Born|Dragon Born]] 20:50, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

: There are a lot of towns in the "real world" with great trees and tree symbols too. --[[User:Brf|Brf]] 20:58, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

:: Chorrol looks nothing like Minas Tirith, and the White Tree was the symbol of Gondor, not Minas Tirith. So no - no resemblance at all. [[User:Rpeh|rpeh]] •[[User_Talk:Rpeh|T]]•[[Special:Contributions/Rpeh|C]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Rpeh|E]]• 09:01, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

== Arena in Chorrol ==
Wasn't there supposed to be an Arena designed for Chorrol at some point? [[User:RIM|RIM]] 20:32, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

:Yes there is remnants of it still left in the game such as cells named to go with an Arena in Chorrol. And some NPC Schedules involve visiting a Chorrol Arena still. Although lots of these are fixed by the UOP. There was also, seemingly, supposed to be one in Anvil as well. --[[User:Kiz|Kiz]] ·•· [[User_Talk:Kiz|Talk]] ·•· [[Special:Contributions/Kiz|Contribs]] ·•· [[Special:EmailUser/Kiz|Mail]] ·•· 20:40, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

== Additional Pictures ==

I would like to add some more pictures of Chorrol and Weynon.
The pictures are created in Camera free flying mode with 1920 x 1200 pixels

I would like to place these on an extra page
because of size & not disturb the existing pages.
Today 2011-12-09 I will try to create the new page

==How==
how do i cast restoration spells on companion?
([[User:89.5.37.101|89.5.37.101]] 06:58, 22 September 2008 (EDT))

: See the list of spells [[Oblivion:List_of_Spells_by_Effect#Restore_Health|here]]. You need to buy one of the existing Target spells (Convalescence, Greater Convalescence or Superior Convalescence) and cast it at your companion, or make your own Target or Touch spell at a spellmaking altar. –[[User:Rpeh|Rpeh]]•[[User_Talk:Rpeh|T]]•[[Special:Contributions/Rpeh|C]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Rpeh|E]]• 07:06, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

== On enchant? ==

I know it's not available for enchanting, but if I were to make an item of clothing in the CS with Restore Health on it, would it have the same effect as in Morrowind (perpetually restoring health)? I'd do it myself, but I don't have it on PC, so I don't have access to the CS. [[User:Flyingsandwich|Flyingsandwich]] 05:00, 22 May 2009 (EDT)
:Yes, it works. I only tried it with a timed heal, not with a one-shot heal, but it definitely works. One wonders why they never created a Ring of Regeneration in the game. <shrugs> --[[User:RobinHood70|Robin Hood]] ([[User_talk:RobinHood70|Talk]] • [[Special:Emailuser/RobinHood70|E-mail]] • [[Special:Contributions/RobinHood70|Contribs]]) 23:26, 28 May 2009 (EDT)

== How To Restore Companion's Health? ==

I have inherited the companion Wintermoon after playing the Heart of the Dead mod but somewhere afterwards her strength, endurance and health were damaged. The restore health & restore endurance spells that I created worked, but I am unable to get her health back up from the damaged value of 637 to the initial level of 650. The restore target health 5 points for 5 seconds spell I created did not work :-(

I know it is possible to enchant a ring or other item to fortify her health but how can the base health be restored back to its original value? [[User:Greenbandit|Greenbandit]] 09:55, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

== Getting Different Numbers ==

When I use a Restore Health spell, my health does not increase by M x D. After playing with the numbers a little, I found out it actually increases by exactly int(0.95 x M) x D, regardless of my Restoration skill. I'm not sure where the 0.95 factor came from.

Well, I just found out this multiplier also applies to damaging spells, and I can't find any information that will tell me where the 0.95 came from. [[Special:Contributions/96.240.176.246|96.240.176.246]] 07:02, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I finally found out where this came from... something called [[Oblivion:Spell_Effectiveness|Spell Effectiveness]]. I think this information should be listed in more than one page, preferably in every page that involves spells. [[Special:Contributions/96.240.176.246|96.240.176.246]] 22:18, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

== Dodging the Blessing? ==

It seems I have accidentally dodged the blessing from the main alter a few times, and it doesn't let me try again of course.

After playing with it a while I found that activating the alter while dodge rolling causes you to dodge the blessing. That's no fun. Is this a bug? [[Special:Contributions/96.240.176.246|96.240.176.246]] 03:14, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Ok, it wasn't the dodge rolling that messed up the blessing, I just had it happen again while standing. There is definitely something wrong with the main alters. The one in Bruma is the one I was using. After reloading the save, it suddenly works. It makes a different noise when it doesn't work, and the animation is different.

The article is wrong in many areas and I'm trying to correct what I can. However, for this case, all I know is he doesn't take 24 hours but creates them maybe at a specific time?

Despite the note saying 2 of each of Aloe Vera Leaves and Foxglove Nectar are needed for making the wines, Talan only took one of each from me.

I also couldn't find him for a long time, no matter what time of the day I waited for, including about 12:00 AM, 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 2:00 PM. I was even using the Detect Life effect, and he was nowhere to be found in the basement. But suddenly, he appeared out of nowhere.

And when I was looking for him, I found at least 2 NPCs walking around stuck inside walls, and I think that's the first time I've seen this glitch anywhere in the game.

Oh, and I'm using all the unofficial patches, if that changes things.

== Wiki Noob Question ==

I added asked a question on a talk page... [[User:Rhapsody|Rhapsody]] 17:40, 13 August 2008 (EDT)

== Wiki Noob Question ==

Then someone added a comment to it which I'm trying to do approximate now. [[User:Rhapsody|Rhapsody]] 17:43, 13 August 2008 (EDT)

== More Discussion Page Edit Questions ==

1) When I indent my comment like this i have here, my comment gets puts in a shaded box like this...[[User:Rhapsody|Rhapsody]] 17:56, 13 August 2008 (EDT)

and when I dont indent i dont think it puts in in a shaded box lets see...[[User:Rhapsody|Rhapsody]] 17:57, 13 August 2008 (EDT)

== Edit vs Add a comment ==

... I have not noticed these shaded boxes showing up for everyone else.

2) I see from my above comment under Noob Wiki Question above, that putting the name of the existing subject/headline in the subject/headline box of my reply did not automatically put my reply under the existing discussion... Do all of your "added" comments when using the "+" tab end up at the bottom of the Discussion page? And if that's the case how do you reply to something thats higher up on the page and make sure that it ends up in the appropriate place on the discussion page. I warned you I was new a Noob! lol.

3) Should I always use the "+" tab when adding a new comment or when replying to an existing disucssion on the page or am I supposed to be using the "edit" tab when I am replying to an ongoing discussion. [[User:Rhapsody|Rhapsody]] 18:31, 13 August 2008 (EDT)
: I've added the indented list to the [[Help:Quick Editing Guide|Quick Editing Guide]] page. When you use "+" you always start a whole new section. If you want to add a comment to an existing section, click the "edit" link by the title of the section you want to edit. –[[User:Rpeh|Rpeh]]•[[User_Talk:Rpeh|T]]•[[Special:Contributions/Rpeh|C]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Rpeh|E]]• 01:05, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

== Template ==

Maybe we should keep the info that is supposed to stay in the sandbox in a template, or on a separate page, so it isn't deleted. And aren't sandboxes the places where you ''are'' supposed to save changes during a test? [[User:C Teng|C Teng]] [[User talk:C Teng|[talk]]] 09:22, 7 December 2008 (EST)

: You can change anything you want - it'll just get changed back before long. The idea of including all the text in the sandbox is that people can see how various effects are achieved. If it gets moved to a template, that will no longer be possible. –[[User:Rpeh|Rpeh]]•[[User_Talk:Rpeh|T]]•[[Special:Contributions/Rpeh|C]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Rpeh|E]]• 09:46, 7 December 2008 (EST)

::Having it in a template would basically defeat the purpose of the sandbox, because then editors would not be able to edit the content. The reason the page contains so much content by default is because editors explicitly asked for a sandbox containing examples of various types of wiki markup so that they could could see the code for that markup and experiment with it to see what happens. People are ''supposed'' to delete the content, if they want to, to see what happens. There's no fear of the content really being lost, because the wiki page history keeps track of everything.
::And editors are free to save sandbox changes. As it says right at the top of the page "This is a place where you can edit freely without having to worry about messing anything up." The changes won't generally stay in place for too long because we clean up the sandbox regularly, but that doesn't mean that people aren't allowed to save in the first place. --[[User:Nephele|Nephele]][[User_talk:Nephele|Talk]] 09:52, 7 December 2008 (EST)

== New sandboxes ==

I thought that, maybe Tes3Mod:Sandbox, Tes3Mod:Sandbox/Sandbox, Tes4Mod:Sandbox and Tes4Mod:Sandbox/Sandbox could be created for experiments relating to these namespaces and their subpage-based organization. --[[User:Gez|Gez]] 19:39, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
: Might be an idea. Before doing ''too'' much more on templates, though, take a look at [[Help:Magic Words|this]]. If you hadn't already seen it, it has a full list of all the new weapons Nephele is adding to our armory. Many of these will make our lives a lot, lot easier - especially with the sub-paging used in the mods. –[[User:Rpeh|Rpeh]]•[[User_Talk:Rpeh|T]]•[[Special:Contributions/Rpeh|C]]•[[Special:Emailuser/Rpeh|E]]• 01:18, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

== My Sandbox? ==

I dont know how to get my own sand boxes. And I don't know how to get userboxes. Can somebody help me please?{{unsigned|Aba la|August 14, 2009 at 16:04}}

== Noob Question ==

Usually on some pages, there would be a Contents box that help you move down to the category without scrolling down so much.

How do you do that? {{unsigned|203.77.67.157|October 23, 2009}}

:: If your refer to the Nine Divines page: the only reason it doesn't have a content box is because somebody put in a NOTOC.

== Deleting a Sandbox ==

Can I suggest adding instructions for deleting a sandbox? Perhaps under the "Other Sandboxes" section, a NEW section called "Deleting Sandboxes"

Something like, You can delete personal sandboxes that you create by editing it and inserting <nowiki>{{speedydeletion|I no longer need this sandbox}}</nowiki>. For general information about deleting pages from the wiki, see [[UESPWiki:Deletion_Policy|The UESP Wiki Deletion Policy]].

I'd also like to add that I think the project page here is confusing, a problem of course, because a primary purpose of sandboxes is to help new (and confused) users!

Just the "You can edit ''This page'' at the beginning is confusing, because it is not immediately clear whether the "this" refers to the very page it is written on, or whether it is linking the user to a new page. It can be a little mind-blowing.

Maybe: This very page you are reading now is designed so that you can edit it yourself.

The page will automatically revert to its current content ... (um, however that works).. periodically? After a certain number of edits?

To begin practicing at this moment, click the "edit" tab at the top of the page.

... Did you do it? If so, you can now begin experimenting with editing a page that contains information about editing!

There is nothing you can do to mess up this page, so try out anything you want.

Something like that???

:What's the purpose of that? You don't create pages with the intention of deleting them. I think the page is clear the way it is now. The page gets refreshed manually, which means another user restores it, so it depends on how much activity there is on the site. If you need information about deleting pages, see [[UESPWiki:Deletion Policy|here]] ~ [[User:Dwarfmp|Dwarfmp]] 18:28, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
::Thanks for your answer. Are you asking me what the purpose would be for deleting a sandbox page? Well, if a sandbox can be used as a temporary space to experiment or practice, or to develop something, then it seems that they would often be created exactly with the intention of deleting them when the experiment or temporary work is finished. If there is no purpose for deleting a sandbox page, then I think there something missing from my knowledge or my logic.
::If there IS a purpose for deleting a sandbox, then I think it is not always easy for a new editor and someone who is not very familiar with UESP or wiki technology to figure out how to do it. As you know, I figured out how to do it, because you processed the request for me, but it took me a lot of effort to find that simple information.
::In my case just earlier, I remembered that I had seen the deletion policy page before, but I could not remember where it was. I could not find it by searching on UESP with the term "speedy deletion". (Now, I realize that I need to do an advanced search and have certain boxes checked that are not checked by default.) At the time, however, it was quite frustrating for me to try to find it. So my purpose for suggesting that we add simple instructions for people to delete their sandboxes is simply... well, that I think some people may find it helpful. Isn't that what a "Help File" is for? I finally found the information by searching Google for "UESP speedy deletion"!
::You think the page is clear. It is not clear to me. Haha. That's OK. I just wanted to give my suggestion, that's all. Thanks again for your help. Trading messages with you made me look at your user page, and it was so interesting that I read the whole thing. Don't worry about the bacteria in the beer. They like to be in your stomach. Did you know that our bodies have 10 bacterial cells for every human cell? So we are really bacteria with a little human in us! Thanks again. --[[User:Jreynolds2|Jreynolds2]][[User_talk:Jreynolds2|Talk]] 20:47, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
:::Most people who create a sandbox in the first place mostly use it to work on an article or something similar. Those few people who do, tend to be active on the site, and therefore use the sandbox over and over again. If you create a sandbox merely to test something and then delete it, this page functions as your temporary sandbox. So even fewer people would benefit from the deletion information. I just don't think it belongs here.
:::I do, however, agree that for finding specific pages, it's very hard to do so by using the help files etc., so perhaps more links can be added in the help files for example. You'd be surprised though how few people really browse the site for such information, people who have the ability to improve the site and actually do so by doing far more than mere minor edits (or at least that's my impression). Those people usually already know the info you're looking for, or they figure it out on their own (like you did now), albeit difficult sometimes. There's nothing wrong with contacting an administrator or patroller for questions, so most people do that instead. While these pages could perhaps be improved, there are many more pages out there that need much more attention, editors supposedly have more useful things to do. But don't take my word for it, I may be wrong.
:::Sorry for putting you through all the yapping on my userpage though :) ~ [[User:Dwarfmp|Dwarfmp]] 15:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

== Personal Sandbox Question ==

I don't know how to find a list of, or access personal sandboxes that I have created unless I remember all of their page names. I feel I need to keep a list of sandboxes ... perhaps in a sandbox? Then what if I forget the name of that sandbox? Help! --[[User:Jreynolds2|Jreynolds2]][[User_talk:Jreynolds2|Talk]] 17:39, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
: If you look at my pathetic [[User:Krusty|user page]] you'll see that I keep a list on top, for easier access. Others creates new pages within their userspace for a list of sandboxes - it's all up to you and perfectly alright. --[[User:Krusty|Krusty]] 17:42, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
::And if you really forgot, somehow, you can easily find the edits you made in it in your user contributions in the upper right corner of your screen, and then just filter it to userpages ~ [[User:Dwarfmp|Dwarfmp]] 18:28, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
:::Both good solutions. Thanks. It shows how we cannot see some very simple things that are new to us. I was thinking, "If I lose a sandbox, I will have to look through all of my contributions list." I never really looked at that page long enough to realize there was a filter. --[[User:Jreynolds2|Jreynolds2]][[User_talk:Jreynolds2|Talk]] 20:55, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
