Remember good old Ciaus Cassades?

If he actually used skooma, he would probably get demoted since the Blades are exclusive.

That would mean that the Nerevarine was mid-way through his quest some weeks after Uriel was killed. You see why that's impossible, right?


it's not at all impossible. It is actually very possible. The Nereverine is good... but he's not the ultimate bad [censored]. He's just a guy who happened to have the same birthsign as a prophesied hero. It could've been anyone. He just got lucky... ALOT!!!!! And if I'm wrong, and he really was the [censored]. Then it's still very unlikely that he was able to do all of that in a short time. NEVER... NEVER say something is impossible. Because it's a game.. for all we know... the Nereverine, was actually chillin his nads off in a bar somewhere, getting [censored] faced, and stoned, and watchin a stripper do her thing... *sarcasm*

My opint? It's a game... and yes, it is possible. He is a Blade. You do know what the Blades are right? What other need is there to call back, one of the most bad [censored] of the Blades, other than something as big as the assassination of the Royal Family? There's only a four year difference between Morrowind and OB. And I do believe it's not going to be easy to kill someone who is as protected as the Royal Family is. So just listen to this, if you will, it's going to take alot longer than a week or two to kill of the entire RF. It was no easy task. *sarcasm*

The timeline in the game is all screwed up, in that the players don't realize exactly how much time has went by. And how closely these things are taking place.

Are... you really arguing this?

Well, the royal family died almost simultaneously, so the comprehensible part of your argument wrong, and then there's the plain old QED... OB MQ can't occurr until the MW MQ ends. So do you think that the government contacted Caius via satellite phone, the Nerevarine finished the Main Quest, killed Almalexia and defeated Hircine in two days and left for Akavir and Vivec walked to the IC and had his trial, the PGE was written and the Emperor died in the very next second?

Note the word SARCASM... I'm not being serious. I was just saying that, there's has to be a more important reason than being an addict. Like a mission, investigation, or somethign of that sort.

OOpsss.. My bad. There is supposed to be a second "sarcasm" placed in my post. I'll fix that. I wasn't calling you stupid. Just giving an example in a VERY rude way. No offense intended though.

I'm having a hard time believing that you were aiming for any kind of parody in the first post. The second required about as much scrutiny as the sermons to understand, so you'll excuse me for missing that.

it really is my fault for making it so thorough.. and for not adding the second sarcasm in my post. I'm honestly, more sarcastic than serious, and when I am serious, I'm fairly close to right. Sometimes...lol.. ^_^

Well, whether he used or not, he was listed as one of the people that was supposed to be in Oblivion (way back before Oblivion was out, during the long waiting period)
I was disappointed that he was not in the storyline; 1. because of his importance to being instrumental to the plot in Morrowind and 2. the fact that he was off to the Imperial City. It would have been great if his character would have been continued. In the opening part of the game, it would have been perfect. Or maybe he could have been part of the Weynon Priory . . . something, anyway!

Pssh, he's not in the IC, cause i eviscerated him. They aren't going to threaten continuity by including people from previous games whom you may or may not have killed

I think it would have been cool to have him appear for a brief moment at the beginning. Like say, before the Emperor even enters your cell he has a brief exchange with Caius, and then Caius takes off never to be seen in the game again.

I agree. It would have been cool to see Caius, even if it were breif. But I don't think he would have had a place in the cell, even if he were just conversing with the Emporer.
I agree with Elexia. I think somwhere like the Weynon Priory would be more suitable for old Caius.


He and Jauffre seem like they coulda been chaps.... cheers to the coolest and most bad [censored] old dudes ever.... :foodndrink:

I wouldn't really be fond of that idea. I kinda like old Caius, he's a cool old dude.... And I normally always kill everyone in the Skooma Den...lol... :gun: ... they taste my wrath, and it is great.... :P

Whatever he's doing, he's probably doing it shirtless. Good ol' Caius, with his improbably well-sculpted geriatric abs. How I miss him so.

Who knows.. Maybe he is actually wearing a shirt, and decided to go pantless...

You have to admit, it would be funny to see Caius chillin in his loincloth...lmao.... Of course old Caius is smart... going shirtless, and being a memer of the Blades is all a cover to hide the fact that he's a ninja.. :ph34r: *sarcasm*

Yeah, Caius and Jauffre, I can see that. Fighting side by side - wow, with the one person you had real connection with in Morrowind. That would have been so cool. Well, maybe there's still a chance he'll be in the next episode . . .

That's one thing gamesas should do- they should, for Talos' sake, have the balls once to just stick with "he is alive" or "that happened" like all the other game series with multiple endings. Or, make TESIII with one TESII ending being the lore, but TESIV with another TESII ending being the lore.

Whether you know it or not, that proposal would shake some of the major foundations that "the lore" actually is built on.

Also there's a pretty definite rule to be devised on who's dead or not in the games: Everyone who was not explicitly required to be killed in a quest can be considered alive.

~There is a way to do something like that:

Make it so that you save game from Morrowind is scanned and various npc are read as alive or dead. Include certain of the alive characters have roles in the next release - according to whatever may be appropriate.

:fallout: Business/mental health warning!!! - The downside is likely the business / game rights / old investors thing - they all have to agree :( - and the new investors have to decide that there is more cash in accepting a hit on their % vs extra sales ...

Redsrock - I think everyone except you realised that everyone was referring to the post at the start - so :nothanks: :meh: - you bombed again.

edit: But keep trying - one day :o you will actually have something to say :)

im pretty sure its impossible for them to get the save games off your computer and scan them for live characters. even if it was possible it would still be silly: its lore mechanic in the hands of thousands of people who know nothing about it.

the flaming of redsrock was completely out of line.
