Into the Blue

Post by Phreddie »

While hovering in the shadows of Hla Oad's Fat Legg's Drop Off, trying to become as invisible as possible with out magical aid so I could give the owner of the eestablishment a quick silver short sword to the back, I fell through the floor. Upon landing 15 feet later I discovered I was in a circular pool of water with no way in or out, trapped. Has anyone else encountered this glitch? Any known ways out?

I know I've heard of it, and if I recall, the only way out was via reload (on the box) :)

I believe the falling through the world bug was fixed in one of the patches.... Of course if you're on the X-Box that's not much help.

I play fully patched, and still I get these bugs... Mages guilds are where I tend to find them...

If on Xbox - Almvsi/Divine Intervention or Recall should get you out...

If on PC - fixme or coc - using the console - should do it.

fixme will not fix the fall-through-the-floor bug. It happens very often for me when I jump from one area to the other (you know, the loading screen appears, then you fall 50 feet into Oblivion)

unfortunately I am on xbox so no patches and had no teleportation spell... Iwas a level 2 mage/thief. However I did profti from the situation, I was able to loot all barrels with telekinesis before drinking a fortify intelligence potion to up my mana, and casting levitate to get back up.

Thanks for the help.

Never encountered the problem but it sounds kinda weird like you were meant to fall through as there was no way in or out and there were barells. It may be an easter egg.

If you on the xbox I would just save a lot becasue for some reson you fall through the floor a lot when you do some missions for some people in some areas like for me when ever I am at the ghost gate I fall through the ground a lot. Or you could just get it for PC ($20) if you have one because It really helps to dowload some of the patches.

It happened to me, but not as bad. the landscape went blank and I was going up and down hills with water at the bottoms of the hills, inside them. I think I fixed it by levitating.

I first purchased morrowind for my xbox about 4 years ago.I recently purchased the game of the year edition(not only for the 2 new areas but also because my old disc was badly scratched and inplayable),I easily have over a thousand hours in the game and I have never experienced this.I would have to agree w/a previous poster...perhaps it's an easter egg.Or maybe it's a test area of some sort that the creators used to test the game.

I doubt it's an easter egg. It's not at all unusual to fall through the ground if you jump a lot, in my experience. I've never landed in the water though, I usually fall for a while and then "magically", and often painfully, land on the ground where I started :confused:

I've also jumped through the walls and ended up in a total darkness at several occasions.
