Curse of the Consumed -- kotn gauntlets quest

[materiaoverlord]

How is Curse of the Consumed supposed to work? Does it deplete your maximum fatigue once or your current fatigue continually? Or is it something else entirely?

[Clever Monkey]

Damage effects lower your skill, stat, whatever by the listed amount for a listed time. Since it is a curse it will remain until the proper quest stage.

I already looked at that. You've told me nothing I did'nt already know.

[Clever Monkey]

what exactly don't you understand? if you have already seen the info I linked you have all the info you need.
Seriously i do not understand what you need to know.

[materiaoverlord]

You're not hearing what I said. I 'm asking specifically what it does. FYI I check uesp routinely and also have the official strategy guide. What I want to know is just how inconvenient it is.

[Clever Monkey]

ok. all it does is lower your fatigue by 5 points until cured. Not inconvenient at all IMO. that is if it works at all. according to the bugs section it may not.
so if you look at your unmodified fatigue and your fatigue when cursed that little bit of fatigue loss is next to nothing. and depending on your level and how you have raised the fatigue deriving stats it gets even less important.
there are times when I adventure with 20 or more points being damaged to several different stats and skills.
It is your choice on how quickly you want to finish the quest and remove the curse but I see no reason to rush it if you do not want to.

BTW- I linked uesp because many people play and report problems on the steam forums but have no idea uesp exists. If this doesn't help you hopefully you get someone responding or search for what you do need to know. best of luck in your adventures.

Five points once or continually? The website wasn't clear on that. They made it sound like I'm going to run out of fatigue points and have to stand around a bunch to get them back.

[Clever Monkey]

sorry, it has been a long time since i actually did that quest. I guess I should read what I link. you are right. as the notes say you normally regen 10 fatigue per second. while the curse is running you would only regen 5 per second.
walking does not consume any fatigue so you will still only gain 5 fatigue. contrary to my prior posts, get rid of the quest asap. I do remember now that it is a pain because the effect is constantly running allowing you to only regen when standing or walking.
the curse could be better thought of as a drain fatigue regeneration effect of 5 points. Because I forgot exctly what the quest was I was just going off the normal damage effect and not this special one.

I apologize for not investigating what I thought knew and adding to the problem. I am very sorry.

"5 points/second continually" is the Answer. i think uesp wrote it.
"Curse of the Consumed, which constantly damages your fatigue by 5 points"
The word "damage" is "DAMAGE FATIGUE" spell effects that is described on uesp
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Damage_Fatigue

Uesp also described "every character have regenrate fagigue".
I checked my Crusader's video now.
My character's fatigue (green bar) sometimes run out and she drinks some self made restore fatigue potion for some time until that curse wear off in the course of Nine quests.
