I just noticed a dialog glitch.

Raminus Polus said something about Kud-Ei running a tight ship in bruma or something. Does Raminus Polus know who bruma's guilld head is ? Because it sure isn't Kud-Ei because she is the head of bravil's mages guild.

I don't know about you but i think bruma is to cold for argonians. Even Kud-Ei i think complains about bruma.

Good catch. It is a known glitch. From the wiki the rumor (not just by Raminus) is:

Kud-Ei runs a tight ship in Bruma [sic]. She may not always play by the rules, but I wouldn't want her on my bad side.


http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Kud-Ei

but Raminus should know better, given that he's a Master Wizard, and presumably on the Council.

There are lots of glitches like that. The most common is calling a lady NPC "he" instead of "she". Apparently due to Bethesda recording some of the voice acting before the game was fully completed.

One of my favorite little glitches is again from Raminus Polus. When you first enter the Arcane University he says:

As much as we try to hold mages to a higher standard, they are only human.


Only human? What about all the elves in the guild, not to mention the argonians and khajiits?

I don't remember the exact line, but a while back someone in Leyawiin was talking about Dagail and referred to her as a he. It seems all of these glitches can be traced back to the mages guild... :whistling:

Typical mages. Probably have the wrong shoes on the wrong feet.

Lots of dialog glitches like this. Such as people in the Imperial City referring to Mandil as "he" or Hil the Tall in Cheydinhal saying that he is a trainer in Alteration (when he actually trains you in Illusion).

The he vs she thing, as well as the Bruma vs Bravil thing are likely bugs.

I'm not so sure about the Alteration vs Illusion type of thing. Because for realism, some rumors and information should be wrong. Just like in real life (and on message boards too). Not everyone gives accurate information. Morrowind also had people giving less than perfect information and direction and those don't appear to be "glitches". Some people just like to say more than they know (except Haskill per Sheogorath who "knows more than he knows").

I think that Hil the Tall, of all people, would be interested in giving the correct information about his skills, given that he actually earns some money from it. ;)

I think what Savlian meant was that a rumour was started a long time ago, and ultimately 'Illusion' turned into 'Alteration', sort of like the game 'Chinese Whipsers', where the word 'cabbage' gets turned into 'Washing basket'
