Oblivion talk:Merandil

Merandil disappears?

I'm experiencing a bug in which he seems to disappear completely once the castle is entered in the attempt to rescue the count. I notice that in the games where this bug does occur he exits the chapel (the way he came in) when Savlin Matius begins to speak to Tierra. He just seems to disappear and I tend to like to see everyone live during these quests, I'm sure he's alive as I've checked everywhere for his corpse. He helps during the fight outside the castle before (and sometimes after) Berich Inian helps to access the castle. He will sometimes disappear when the Berich Inian following begins; he may also simply disappear when the castle itself is entered. I just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this bug or if anyone has an explanation for it. Also I'm playing on an Xbox 360 so I cannot use the console to locate him.— Unsigned comment by 72.88.204.3 (talk) on 14 August 2008

In my experience he always disapears after the castle is taken back... Strangely enough it seems that only 2 guards can survive+Tierra and Salvian. It seems once inside only three can stay. Salvian plus two either randomly choosen or i don't know guards. (Tierra is at the chapel this time). In my game (PC) the two reamaining tend to be Ilend Vonius who i rescued and Berich, but it might differ from player to player... Any way it seems the ame acknowledges them as "dead" since i played the "Kvatch Rebuilt" (kvatch.net) mod and it added two tombstones to the chappel's graveyard with the name of him and the other non-essential soildser from the baricade.

Awesome mod btw, to the tombstone it wrote out: "Merandil. His foes were leveled, his gear was not."— Unsigned comment by 217.20.141.7 (talk) on 9 Feburary 2010
