I'm gonna sacrifice a question simply so we can get to the bottom of the Saint question: Where is their height found in-game?

Wow. Thats still an issue? :biglaugh:


Well, its been long enough, i post a question.

Sometimes NPCs can be found reading. These books display a text if you look close enough. What kind of text is it?
(Hint: its not the text of the book they carry in their inventory though)

Heh. :)

Do you really want me to just spill the beans? That wouldn't be much fun...

I'll drop another hint. The answer isn't in a text; it comes in the form of a rumor that you might hear.

Weight conundrum? I didn't know there was any weight conundrum going on... I heard tell that there might be a bit of a height conundrum going on, though.

There's a retired assassin somewhere in New Sheoth who claims that the average Saint is exactly six feet tall, though.

Are they right? Well, if 1.05 height units = 6 feet, then an "average" height actor would be about 5 feet, eight and a half inches tall, and an Altmer or female Saint would be about 6 feet, 3 and a half inches tall.

...Which actually seems pretty reasonable. This retired assassin also claims to never be mistaken, so perhaps they aren't.

Oh yes, typo. Orinthal! That walking stat-spewer. Didn't know he commented on the height of the Saints.

I suspect he's talking crap though. Altmer are only 6 feet tall? This places Nords and Orcs at less than 6 feet tall, which seems ridiculous, and casts Bosmer as positive midgets. Given that everything else in Nirn (trees, food, etc) is on the same scale as Earth I don't think this is the case.

Remember, though, that he's talking about the average Saint. Like I said, if 1.05 = 6 feet, then 1.1 is about 6' 3 1/2".

Anyway, you detemined that Orinthal is indeed the stat-spewer in question. So you still get the honorary :turtle: and here's your cone. :icecream:

No, it isn't.

He said 'potted', of which there are only a few... around 40.

EDIT: 38?

No.

REGARDLESS of how long it has been since the question was asked, you at least need to CHECK other peoples' answers before just posting a new question.

Here's what the UESP has to say about the Nirnroot question...
Anvil
* Heinrich Oaken-Hull's Private Rooms (bedroom)
* Anvil Castle: Private Quarters (Dairhill’s apartment)
* Lighthouse: Ulfgar Fog-Eye's House
(Total So Far: 3)
Bravil

* City-Swimmer's House
* Silverhome on the Water, 3rd Floor
* Chapel Hall (room on the right)
* Fighters Guild Second Floor (first room)

(Total So Far: 8)
Bruma
* Baenlin's House (2nd floor)
* Regner's House (downstairs)

(Total So Far: 17)
Market District
* Mystic Emporium Private Quarters
* The Gilded Carafe
(Total So Far: 19)
Imperial Prison Sewer

(Total So Far: 20)

(Total So Far:21)

Waterfront District
* “Marie Elena” Captain's Cabin

Other places in Imperial City
* South Watch Tower, (entrances from Temple District and Arboretum) Captain's Quarters (office of Hieronymus Lex, top of the tower)
(Total So Far:24)
Leyawiin
* Ahdarji's House 2nd Floor West
* Blackwood Company Hall (2nd Floor)
* Blackwood Company Jeetum-Ze's Room (2nd Floor)
* Margarte's House (room on the right)

* Odiil Farm: (inside the farmhouse)
* Pell's Gate: Shafaye's House

Places I marked in BOLD are not POTTED. (To the best of my knowledge.)

So the total is 36.

Being that Uncle Pain was closest, I'll give him the :turtle:...
