Oblivion Observation
 

While fighting a Dremoa Markynaz (one of the wizard ones), I noticed that it had no hands. It was casting spells and doing hand to hand fighting perfectly happily with no hands.

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this, or if it was just a bug.

I can't say I've noticed anything like that. But it's been over a year since my computer was even able to run the game. Still need a new vid card, and before that a job.

Aah, the great land of the Unemployed has hit you too?

I've been here for 2 years roughly. Problem being that my first 2 jobs were pretty much handed to me, so I don't really have experience "getting" a job. Makes things more difficult when the job market is bust. This is where patient parents are a wonderful thing. That and I try to not be a complete layabout, so I'm at least useful to them.

More on topic what of these handless mage type Dremora? Do they cast summon gloves/gauntlets type magic and have some kind of graphical glitch when it wears off?

I've only seen one of them so far (usually a summon takes care of them and I don't have time to loot, or I can't be bothered). It never cast anything except the usual destruction and a summon creature. When it fought, it used hand to hand, despite having a staff and a claymore in its inventory.

I've just found another one (looking at it right now) and before it cast any spells, it had no hands. And then drew a claymore and used it. With no hands. So I suppose its a bug. (Because I doubt anyone would do that intentionally and leave it able to use weapons)

Re: Oblivion Observation
 

maybe a missing/corrupt texture file for the dremora hands? Though I'd expect an error message if that were the case.

Re: Oblivion Observation
 

If it were that, I would have thought that more of them would be missing hands.. But most dremora have them. Just not every robed Markynaz in my game.
Most odd.
