be used as a safe refuge once we've rescued Erthor? Do the zombies respawn?

The zombies in that cave do not respawn. So, I guess you could use it as a safe refuge if you wanted. :foodndrink:

Oh HELL YEAH> Eradi-Kate's first home! :celebration:

I thought I remembered reading that somewhere that BFC is safe. Went on UESP but it didn't mention anything about it.

Yep, I think you're safe! Here is the info I got from UESP:

'Occupants:
Erthor (non-respawning) at location Q on map
7 Deranged Zombies (quest-specific leveled zombies; drop Bonemeal instead of Mort Flesh; non-respawning)'

From the 'Zone 1' portion of this link: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Bleak_Flats_Cave

PS. Eradi-Kate! Another typically wonderful Renee named character! :laugh:

I'm so happy. You don't even know. I'm having such a good time with this character.



Thanks! She'll probably be my last Oblivion character. So sad. When are you gonna start a new character? Or are you ever again?

I think your idea of using BFC as a refuge for a reclusive character is a great idea! Sounds like you'll be moving on to Skyrim. I'm gonna give Skyrim a year or more to get sorted out/patched/wiki'd, etc before thinking about it. I'm afraid Buffy has become fully sentient and self-aware so we'll be together a long time. Acadian normally rolls into a new game and sorts out how everything works; then Buffy is reincarnated in one form or another to claim the rest of our time there. So it was with Baldur's Gate I & II, Diablo II, Oblivion and - if someday Skyrim does not disappoint - that game as well. Oblvion is good for a few more years for her though, since it takes so long to tell her fanfic saga. :wavey:

Reclusive, funny that's the very word I thought of today as I got into her game. That's exactly how i'd describe Kate.

She joined the Mage's Guild because she wants to get to the Arcane Univ, but has this habit of staying in their basemants as much as possible, instead of sleeping/living upstairs. It's like there's a shyness involved. Secrecy.

Baldur's GAte was an awesome game, I agree. I never finished it unfortunately. Got stuck on some level and all my saves were messed up. But I did learn how to use both cahracters as I played on the PS2. My right hand controlled a fighter-type, while my left controlled the wizard. I'd walk them both togther, and then coordinate, blocking with the fighter while the wizard popped a few spells off. Those were the days.

Well, I hope to see you over in Skyrim forums eventually. I'll be there the day the game comes out for sure.

:o hardcoe!

You might want to be careful with containers there. I think one of them belongs to Erthor, and I don't know whether the others respawn or not. Put an arrow in each, go away for at least three days, and then come back and check.

I love the names you give your characters! :laugh:

I was going to ask, do the containers respawn though? If they don't, then I may have just found a home for my redguard murderer Arum.

This is great news. I’ve never had a vampire character, because I couldn’t make living in town work in my mind. Moving to the cave would be perfect. Thank you for this idea! Container check begins today. :foodndrink:


ETA: In BFC the containers respawn, including Erthor’s chest. Plus, Erthor still lives there. Though the last part might not be an issue for the murderer, and could be a benefit for a vampire.

I checked out Shetcombe Farm while I was at it. Those containers respawn too, but there are several tables and a flat crate to put things on. I might have found a lair.
