I found a door that says Imperial Orrery at the Arcane University. I am the PS3 version, I know that the PS3 version didn't get that DLC so why is there a door leading to it? I never seen that there before only on the PC version with the plug in installed. Is there a way to get a key to it in the PS3 version? I went their in the PC version without the plug in and used the console to go inside, its a huge empty room. Looks like a nice place to duplicate thousands of pumpkins.

Don't think you can get in it without the plugin on console. Only reason I can think its there is that maybe it was supposed to be there according to Lore in previous games and that Bethesda perhaps intended it to be part of the game but resorted to putting it in the DLC at release time.

Quick answe; no. There's no key for that door. And even if there was, without the DLC, that door, at best, leads to an empty worldspace. At worst, it'll do nothing but will act like a normal door (opening up and showing you a brick wall behind it.)

Sadly, you won't be able to use it for the PS3 unless Bethesda released the Knights of the Nine expansion for the PS3. That gives you all but the last DLC they produced for Oblivion (Battlehorn Castle.)

I think they have the door there purely because there's an exterior lump of building that wouldn't make any sense otherwise. The DLC interior roughly fits in the vanilla exterior. It's also mentioned in some dialog with or about Bothiel, so it would be even more weird NOT to have an Orrery, even if it's inaccessible.

Actually we do have Knights of the Nine, we just do not have all the other dlcs, which is weird beth would have made more money by just by porting them to ps3. So as it was said all it will open to will be nothing

So there's no PS3 version of the Knights of the Nine that you can buy in stores? As in, CD and case? That version SHOULD have all the DLCs on it, not the one that gets downloaded directly to the PS3.

No there is no cd for knights of the nine, it comes installed with the base oblivion cd and with the goty cd.

Don't worry about it, I have that DLC, it's nothing special.

You get a crappy quest making you kill a couple of bandits in various camps, then going to a big room with a messed up contraption in the middle, it puts on a little show like in the planetariums then you get a blessing.

Big-whoop.

Frostcrag Spire, Thieves Den, Battlehorn Castle, KotN and SI were way better. Hell, even Horse Armor was better..

Well Holy Assassin, you know what they say. If you can′t have it, you want it even more

Yeah, I know. That's why I was assuring the OP that the Orrery is just a waste of time, and there's no need to fret over it.

But I wants the Frostcrag Spire, Thieves Den, Battlehorn Castle, guess i'll have to wait till I snag myself a laptop

Haha if you are roleplaying you only should really use one of those.

Fix'd.

Haha thanks. Unless you have a stealing murdering mage with a big sword.
