I got the line 'Ah, my favourite customer. What have you got?' when I was 3rd level, had only about 200 gold and was only apprentice Mercantile. Can somebody else confirm the line appears before the stated time? Rpeh 12:37, 2 June 2007 (EDT)

He will always say that line when you initiate his Barter Service and his disposition towards you is greater than 60.00

Okay. You've got the info so I'll leave you to make the change if that's alright? Rpeh 13:04, 2 June 2007 (EDT)

The info came straight from the Construction Set. I also changed the content of the quote to match the caption given at this line of dialogue. --Timenn 13:46, 2 June 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Getting Killed

I've not seen Olav get killed in the way described. He frequently goes into sneak mode and tries to pick people's pockets but all that I've seen happen then is for everyone to start shouting, a guard to rush in with sword unsheathed... then for everyone to calm down again and the guard to sheath his sword and walk out. Vaguely amusing but not a bloodbath. Has anybody else have him get killed? --Rpeh^Talk 05:24, 10 August 2007 (EDT)

I've seen that too, everybody just seems to lose interest by the time the guard arrives. But I've also seen him essential (may be due to the Unofficial Patch). I did however once see Olfand get slaughtered by guards in there, though not Ongar. - Emerald Melios 01:29, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

He's essential until after the Thieves Guild quest line is completed but I've still never seen him killed. It's been nearly a week so I'm going to take that information off as being unproven. If anybody can verify it, they can re-add it. --Rpeh^Talk 04:57, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

When I play, the guard sometimes comes in with sword drawn and knocks Ongar unconscious, almost killing him. Also, one time, after getting caught picking someone's pocket, Ongar drew his sword and killed Suurootan with a single slash.

[edit] Pickpocket Bug

Strangely, whenever he pickpockets on my game, it freezes and wont come back. Any ideas?

[edit] help!

On mine it wont let u barter wit him????

how am i ment 2 join???

den sometimes he starts runnin from me n wen i try 2 talk 2 him it just says he is fleein.....

wat dat about????

If he's fleeing he's scared of something - quite possibly you. Have you been killing people in sight of him for instance? You can't barter with him unless you've already joined the Thieves Guild. As soon as you've joined he'll let you barter with him. See the Thieves Guild article for more details. Lastly, please take the time to type your questions properly - this isn't a mobile phone. —Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 07:24, 3 January 2008 (EST)

I tried what you advised to the other guy. It didn't work even tough I am part of the theives guild. I need to trade or else I cant get any missions in the theives guild!

[edit] His Chest

Someone just added a few words about his chest. I checked it out. It's actually underground, I could only reach it with the "tcl" command, I unlocked it and it contained the things I sold him recently. Villy 01:11, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Great work! Is the only possible way to get to it is by using "tcl"? That seems kind of weird. And what exactly do you mean by underground? --Elliot ^talk 01:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I removed the edit. All vendors have at least one such chest. Some have two, one for respawning/random items and one for fixed stuff. Some have even more for various reasons. They are all hidden out of site underground and only accessible using tcl except for Fathis Ules' chest in the Elven Gardens District. –rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 10:33, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Interesting... must be the way the game interacts with vendors, instead of having a predetermied list they need a chest somewhere with all their items RandomTime 10:36, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
