A door in niben bay Glitch

[Max O'Grady]

the quest tells you to go to a place on the water but it's not there for me all that is there is big squares that have ! marks on them and two people swiming in the water under the floating squares but when i talk to them the audio files don't play it's only the subtitles.
There is defintley something wrong please help.

FIXED: I hadn't put the expansion on I'M SO STUPID

what do you mean by plugin
I'm not using any mods

[Oparator Stalker]

Using no mods and you can not see the island, just people swimming around? I have to take a look to see if I have this issue..

[Oparator Stalker]

Nope, Island is were it belongs, do a file integ check... may have to reinstall to see if it corrects. The Island is there if you have the DLC for it..

Looks like you found your problem then, that will do it...

[Bansheebutt]

Yeah, the Goty edition has a unique quirk in that SI is partially integrated into the base game. (Can't remember if it's like that with my, sadly lost, hard copy, or just Steam.)

One way you can tell if this is happening is that the The Door in Niben Bay quest will not have an Icon like every other quest. It will just be blank.

How do we turn on the Dlc then?

Go into Data Files in the launcher and mark all checkboxes

That’s odd though that would get a quest notification if the dlc wasn’t enabled. It must have been at one point and you disabled it without realizing.

If it's the issue with the question marks and the floating squares: It's possible that there are graphics files corrupted or missing. In this case verifying the Oblivion installation in Steam should help (the process reloads all corrupted or missing files).

No that's the way GotY edition is. For some reason Oblivion esm file includes data chunks from Shivering Isles (or maybe all of it) but of course not the assets.
Discovered that when I wanted to play the game without expansions.

I've noticed that and it's confusing knowing what I can use in the construction set without needing SI as a mod prerequisite. I'm assuming anything that's part of oblivion.esm is safe but it might not include meshes and textures so will need to test it. Even without SI installed you can start it by entering in to the console setstage si01door 10.
