[edit] Quest Stage Error

According to the page:

Stage 20: "Ilend Vonius, one of the Kvatch Guardsmen who entered the Oblivion Gate to try to close it, told me that at least one other survivor of the assault on the Gate has been taken to the large tower within Oblivion. I should search for him there. (This will appear in your journal if you told Savlian Matius you will try to close the Oblivion Gate)"

Stage 20: "At least one survivor of the assault on the Oblivion Gate has been taken to the large tower within Oblivion. I need to search for him there. (This will appear in your journal if you have not told Savlian Matius you will try to close the Oblivion Gate)"

But on the contrary, i got the first message when i entered the gate WITHOUT talking to Savlian Matius, and the second one when i start te quest "breaking the siege of Kvatch".

I believe there's a little mistake there , just poiting it out.200.121.172.252 18:33, 26 June 2008 (EDT)

Yes, you're absolutely right, it was backwards on the main page. Good catch! --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 23:21, 26 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Wait, what, now?

The Daedric Siege Crawler is what destroyed Kvatch in the beginning, or so I'm told. how is this possible? The gate that you arrive at is just your run-of-the-mill Oblivion Gate, and doesn't fit a Siege Crawler. in Bruma, A great gate is required for a Daedric Siege Crawler to fit through and destroy a town. If this is so: How was Kvatch destroyed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Darkheart (talk • contribs).

Actually, the Kvatch gate is the last one that is left after the city was destroyed. Many gates appeared within the city and finally a great gate appeared, from where the Siege Crawler arrived. You can learn this from listening to the dialogues of the refugees. --SerCenKing 13:50, 1 March 2009 (EST)

If you look around at the land near the Kvatch Gate, you can see the remnants of the Great Gate. Evidently it was shut down after the Crawler had finished razing Kvatch to the ground. —Dark Spark 17:06, 1 March 2009 (EST)

So where did the Crawler go? --Darkheart 18:22, 1 March 2009 (EST)

Most likely, back into the garage. Great Gates permit travel into Oblivion as well as from it. Our own experience at Bruma proves it. —Dark Spark 18:52, 1 March 2009 (EST)

Another good question to ask is -- if a siege crawler appeared out of the clear location of the great gate at Kvatch, how come the city walls are still standing? Did it climb over the wall or burrow under it to destroy Kvatch, and then back out (beep beep beep) when it was finished? (grin) -- Wordmama 17:49, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Gannonah

Is it worth mentioning somewhere, perhaps in the notes or trivia section of this article, that the part of Oblivion entered during this quest is known as Gannonah to its inhabitants? Just thought it would be an interesting note.

It might be something that goes in a Lore section, though I don't know which article that would be. Where did you find that out? --Darkheart 10:01, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

Kathutet mentions it when he starts to talk with the player, and he can later, if the player asks about it, explain that Gannonah's Dremora clan sacked Kvatch and that they later told him how awesome the player was. The exact quote is something like this: "You destroyed the Sigil Tower at Gannonah. My kin says you fought well (said when he start talking with the player). Our clan sacked your city Kvatch. A trifling task, fit for Scamps. However, your swift retribution earned you respect among my people (said when the player asks about Gannonah)." It was something like that, but I don't remember the second quote by every word.

LieutenantDavies 10:21, 13 March 2009 (EDT)

Kathutet is probably referring to the world with the siege crawler that you closed in the great-gate quest —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.141.178.12 (talk • contribs).

I think they're both one and the same. Gannonah sacked Kvatch, brought the siege crawler back into the garage, then opened again outside of Bruma for the Great Gate quest. I guess there's no way to know for sure whether the great gate or the Small Oblivion gate is Gannonah. --Darkheart 19:55, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Possible bug- needs verification

• There is a glitch that when you take the Sigil Stone from it's holding, the game will appear to be proceeding but the screen will turn white, and you will be stuck in the gate.

Moved from page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lem0nhead (talk • contribs) on 23 August 2009.

• I've done the quest countless times and thats never happened to me. --Arch-Mage Matt 01:18, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

• That has never happened to me either. --Bryanmichael11 16:54, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

• This happened to me, When i go out of the gate, it will remain open, though i can get martian out of the chapel. They will get attacked (because the gate is not closed) I tired useing commands, but so far can't get the gate to close. When i first tired this, i grabbed the sigil stone, and it took me to Kumiko Manor ( which is a mod), maybe Lemonhead has the same mod? I disabled the mod, but they it would not transport me at all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 174.17.21.67 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Danger of Oblivion plants

The notes section says, "... some of the plants don't like being harvested." While I like the cleverness of this, strictly speaking it's not accurate. It implies that the plants will only attack when you try to harvest them, and that's not the case -- spiddal sticks and harrada roots both will happily try to impede your progress even if you leave them completely alone, and it's also possible to harvest both without triggering an attack. Perhaps a more accurate warning would serve better here, such as, "... some of the plants are not as defenseless as you might expect." Wordmama 03:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Fixed. Feel free the change anything else you think portrays an inaccuracy! :) –Elliot ^talk 05:43, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
