Questions
Hey man, I didn't really know where to put this so sorry if I did anyhting wrong. I got a huge amount of Oblivion pictures on my computer. Including at least one picture of all NPC's, creatures and all places. The problem is however that I don't know how to upload them here on the site. Can you help me ?

//Mozer (user)


 * First of all, welcome to OblivioWiki! To upload files, click on the link on the bottom left of the navigation menu (under "toolbox") that says Upload File. The upload page has some basic instructions for uploading files, but I don't blame you if you don't want to read all of it since it isn't all relevant anyway. Just select your file to upload, you can specify a new name if you wish in the destination field, and you should give the file a short description (which you can later edit by going on the image page and clicking "edit" at the top). Once the image is uploaded, you can attach it to any relevant articles by putting in this line of code in an appropriate place in the article:
 * '' [[Image:imagename.jpg|thumb|right|image description]]
 * Hope that clears everything up for you, if not feel free to ask. By the way, to sign your name at the end of comments on talk pages, use ~ . \*\ Hellhound43 17:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I can't find whether the navigation menu or the toolbox. Can you help me? Plus, it seems that many of the subjects I want to upload a picture for, are not stubs.


 * PLEASE do not delete comments on talk pages from other users. The navigation menu is on the left-hand side of the wiki (that contains the links to the main page, recent changes, etc.) and the toolbox is down at the very bottom of the left-hand-side menu bar, below the sponsors list. You don't need to upload any pictures that we already have, unless you believe that a picture you have taken is a better representation of the given topic. Ah, I see you found it. \*\ Hellhound43 07:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Administrators page
I know it's just a minor thing, but I was just updating the OblivioWiki:Administrators page. Because technically Gravewit no longer 'owns' or runs the site, should we de-mote his status, along with the other three inactive administrators (who I think were admins mainly because of administrating at GuildWiki)? --theSpectator talk 03:18, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, it seems unlikely that they'd be back, but I'm inclined to say no because they could. Gravewit probably wouldn't, though. Then again, if they were to contribute to the wiki again, they could always ask for the admin status back. Hmm, yeah, it might be a good idea. While we're on the subject, shouldn't the GameWikis projects bar at the top be removed or replaced with something more appropriate for Wikia? \*\ Hellhound43 07:21, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll adjust their statuses. As for the GameWikis projects bar, I don't have any control over that (or at least, not that I know of), so it looks like it'll stay that way for now. --theSpectator talk 19:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm keeping Fyren because IIRC, he does do technical things and such. It's possible we should reinstate Gravewit because he might still do some minor technical stuff with the wiki(s) in general, though I'm not sure as his exact status of wiki-contributing now, other than answering many e-mails regarding the move. But like you said, anyone who returns and is interested in helping out again is welcome to ask to be reinstated. --theSpectator talk 20:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Astral vapors
Thanks for being so quick to redirect "Astral Vapours" to Astral Vapors - it never occurred to me to try the American spelling. :-) Leevclarke 01:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)


 * ;-) You're welcome. By the way, please put stub templates and what-not at the top of the article or section. The only thing that generally goes at the bottom is the categories (their placement doesn't matter in the presentation of the article, just when it's being edited). \*\ Hellhound43 01:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikia
Just wanted to let you know I created a wikia page for OblivioWiki so this wiki would be in their listings. --avfanatic (talk) 01:05, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, avfanatic. I would've thought we would have already been in the listing somewhere. \*\ Hellhound43 14:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


 * So did I, and because you guys aren't on their servers I had to do some extra coding to get Guild Wars and OblivioWiki on the Active Gaming List.
 * I just thought it was sad that a wiki with almost 3000 pages gets no love. Guild Wars has been a headline for sometime.  Also, I don't know who you'd talk to, but OblivioWiki needs a Wikia Spotlight graphic so it can appear randomly on every wiki's Wikia Spotlight. How your get listed or the dimensions of the graphic idk. --avfanatic (talk) 16:40, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikia
Hellhound nice to meet you! I just wanted to drop a note and introduce myself; I just started here at wikia as the games marketing manager, before that I was at Xfire running marketing event campaigns for PC titles. I am a huge oblivion fan, and currently working my way through the expansions with my third character. Although I am new to wikis, i would love to help you guys and let you know that you have support here. Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, ideas etc... --[Lleowen] ([talk]) 10:20, 14, January 2008 (PST)


 * Welcome to OblivioWiki Lleowen! Thank you for contacting me, we haven't heard anything from anyone at Wikia since the move last September. We would be glad to have you be a part of the OblivioWiki team, if you wish to contribute; there is still much to be done here. If you have any questions about Wiki editing, or about OblivioWiki, feel free to ask TheSpectator, Bippo Ernesti, or myself.


 * I do have one question, who do we contact about the Wikia Spotlight? Avfanatic brought it up on my user page last month, and I haven't had the time to pursue it:
 * Quote: ''Also, I don't know who you'd talk to, but OblivioWiki needs a Wikia Spotlight graphic so it can appear randomly on every wiki's Wikia Spotlight.
 * Thank you again. \*\ Hellhound43 20:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hiya, this is Angies, another Wikia employee. I run the spotlight program, and can get you in :) Normally we try to rotate through games that have an upcoming release or have requested it on the [Spotlight Talk Page] on Wikia Central. The next rotation starts at the end of Jan and I will make sure you are in it.. As for the graphics [] makes them for us.. he does a great job!


 * Thanks Angies! \*\ Hellhound43 21:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Awesome its great to be part of this wiki! My goal is to spend at least 8-10 hours per week helping you guys out, and getting use to the "way of the wiki." Please let me know if you want me to give special attention to any specific task, otherwise i will just start at the task list. -- Lleowen 01:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, at least someone here has some goals ;-). If you have the Shivering Isles expansion, you could work on the Shivering Isles side quests, as most of them are highly insufficient in content, and/or missing sections and images. I'm not entirely sure if they are all listed there yet, either. Also, the locations of both the expansion and original are lacking or not created yet. I recently started playing again, so I'll get around to it as soon as I can devote more attention to the wiki. \*\ Hellhound43 02:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Have you seen this wiki
Hellhound, have you seen this Elder Scrolls Wiki before? It's a community based around the E.S. construction set,and seems to be really well put together. I would like to know your thoughts on it, let me know when you get a chance to check it out. Thanks Lleowen 20:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I have known about that wiki for a while. I am not well endowed with knowledge of the ins-and-outs of the CS, but it seems like a good guide and reference for anyone who uses it. It is hosted off of Bethesda's official website for the TES series. \*\ Hellhound43 01:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

questions section error & crusader relics
hi,

I don't seem to be able to add any questions to the questions page, it tells me that the 'page cannot be found', so thought this would be my next point of call.

I have a problem with the relics of the crusader in that it unequips them when I put them on. from what I’ve read on this site it is because I have sinned since acquiring them and need to go on another pilgrimage. However when I pray at any of the way shrines it just tells me to ‘continue my quest to earn the penance of the gods’, or something similar. No flashing lights or quest updates or anything. It’s really annoying as I’ve acquired the fatigue curse from the gauntlets part of this quest and now can’t finish the quest to heal myself! I’ve got all of the initial relics except for the mace for which I need to wear the boots. Is it still registering these prayers to way shrines, and going towards zerioing my inamy, or is there something else I should be doing?

I’m playing the PS3 version. Thank for any help.

D.


 * Yeah, I don't think it updates to tell you who you've prayed to, except the first time you do the quest, since afterward you're just activating a script and not advancing a quest. Just keep track of who you have and haven't prayed to and, hopefully, you'll get it. \*\ Hellhound43 15:12, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

--That worked perfectly, nice. thanks.

D.


 * The link to add questions was broken but I've fixed it. Ask away! --theSpectator talk 18:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

odd bug ?
I hope you can help? I have been playimg for months. I have a very powerful pc too enjoy this beautiful game on. I purchased the year end edition thats all ready patched. The game has run smooth under windows Vista. Now when I reached the 230 hour 25 minutes of game play, freezes start too occur. Example, fires do not flicker in fire places or stutter or move very slow. The same can be said of waterfalls, opening doors, fieflies, and magic resteration and effects just slowly dissapearing. The game is still playable,walking running fighting are fine, but this is dissapointing and again happens at that 230 hour 25 minute mark. I started from earlier save points and it played fine up until that time mentionedI hope you dont mind my post and can help. Thank you, Archer


 * I'm honestly not sure. Your best bet is to probably post it on the official elder scrolls forums. \*\ Hellhound43 01:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

ODD BUG
Thank you. have you played that many hours? I hope the next Oblivion one can keep leveling up not just reach 100 in the attributes but let it go up to 500. I may only reach 35 to 37 in level overall. Keep up the good work. Do you think uninstalling may help? Are you playing the pc version? vista or xp? any remedies you may come across please let me know, thanks Archer.


 * I've reached that many hours on my game before and haven't had that problem. I play on Windows XP. You can certainly try reinstalling the game; also make sure you have the latest patch. Update your video card drivers as well. --theSpectator talk 19:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Problem
Why when I go to any chapel in the game i am not allowed to get a blessing? It comes back with a smart ass remark saying that im a sinner or i need to repent my sins. How do i do that and why is it doing this. I do not have any expansion packs yet im in the middle of my main quest. I did finish the Thieves guild could that be why? do i even need blessing to complete the game?


 * I don't believe you need any blessings to finish the game, they just help if you get diseased or cursed. Your problem occurs when your infamy is higher than your fame. The Arena is a good place to gain fame points. \*\ Hellhound43 12:22, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Indicesion, spelling errors, etc
Scarnon brudda,

Im gonna get the GOTY edition of oblivion for 360 and I played and loved oblivion before on my PC, and i used a spellsword. I was wondering what the best class would be for me? I had reached lvl 30. Also, I'd like to know whether conjured armour and weapons add to your skills, e.g if I summoned a daedric mace would I gain XP for Blunt?

Thanks, Teh Doctor


 * Yes, you gain skills for conjured weapons and armor. I would recommend creating a custom class, instead of picking one. I just get an idea for the general play style I want to use (i.e. melee, ranged, stealthy, magic or some combination of those) and then go through the list of skills and decide which ones would be most useful for me to take. So if I'm going for a ranged character, with some magic on the side, I'd obviously choose Marksman so I'm not useless with my play-style's chosen weapon type. Then I'd pick Light Armor since I'll need some protection, although I could switch that for Alteration and use shield spells whenever I need them. Two other skills I normally pick for almost any character are Restoration and Illusion. My last few skills would be simply based on whatever part of the game I would like to be easier/be able to do for example Alchemy can be very useful in both getting money and in combat. \*\ Hellhound43 14:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Question
Hi,

You mentioned that in the Where Spirits Have lease quest you just fly through the door. How do you fly through the door? I am on a PS3 and Velwyn is just standing there waving his arms for weeks now. The door won't open. I have tried waiting, sleeping, talking to him, pushing him all the way back to the stairs, fighting him, casting spells, going to other quests and coming back (when I came back he is now stuck on the other side of the door). I have played for days since so am not really interested in loading an old game. If you watch Velwyn he seems to be stuck in a loop. He waves his arms in a certain pattern and suddenly he jumps back to the beginning of the arm waving animation (It is like watching a video stuck on a loop) Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
