I always start with Prior's Maborel's Paint Horse and always finish with it. It never dies. I never realized that it was the slowest one in the game. You know why? Because I don't ride. The horse is just following me. And I make it wait in a safe place before entering in a cave or dungeon. Lucky one.. :biggrin:

Yeah, that's the one. That horse is so slow that it collects cobwebs. ;)

True story: One of my characters was riding that horse at full speed down a very steep grade the other day, and was attacked by a rat from behind. The rat overshot, flew over my character's head, and crashed down dead in front of the horse. :)

Glargg: Maybe that rat was a brother of Speedy Gonzales :laugh: . I really trust you when you say True Story. We should start collecting unusual funny things happening through that game. :smile: Like in Skyrim when I tried to free a prisonner from a Thalmor. After I gave him a fine sword he started punching me (glad he didn't use the blade haha) so I reloaded and let him go to his happy destiny. Maybe he likes being tortured or it was a trap from the Thalmors with false prisonners. Who knows...

I threw "true story" in there because of the previous paragraph. I tend to exaggerate with my descriptions at times, but I was amazed at that flying rat!

I was recently running through the tutorial with a new character, and there's a point where the blades say "I don't like this," and you wait for one of them to scout ahead... Just as the guard gave the okay, the Emperor turned to look at my character, said "God's Blood!", drew his sword, and proceeded to whale away at my poor prisoner until I yielded to him.

At least you knew the whole story. But imagine that scene with someone playing for the first time :tongue:

Ok I think we need to get this thread back on track so I′ll take the turtle as it′s up for grabs now.

Who is the most vivid painter in Cyrodiil?

You need glasses. The painter in Anvil is Astia Inventius, a woman the last time I checked.

I'd be voting for a dead Bosmer thief. Except that he's not in Cyrodiil any more. Much more imaginative than the guy he stole from!

Nope guys. Think about my clue. The most vivid painter or rather, a painter who paints very vividly ;)

I'm thinking you're referring to a famous painter who lives in Cheydinhaal :smile:

EDIT: Right now, I have the most recent post in all five Oblivion forums. Don't think that's ever happened before. Heh.

Sorry I don't remember the name. But he paints with a special brush and went through his painting to follow the man who stole it. The quest is to find him and kill the trolls. He lives in Cheydinhal.

Edit: Rythe Lythandas. But Ghastley has already given the answer. :biggrin:

Quite right. More vivid can't be haha... This Bosmer painted a vivid door, opened it and passed through it. Then painted trolls so vivid that they killed him. He was really painting in life :tongue: . But of course he was not yet recognized as the more famous painter in all Cyrodill.

Yessss. The turtle is mine, all mine...Thank you Mirocu. Here it comes:

At the Nord-west corner of which Ayleid ruin can you find, hidden under fern leaves, a camp fire surrounded by a chest, a stool and a covered bed roll?
