Oblivion talk:Dovyn Aren

I found his body under the Imperial City Bridge. Don't remember if I killed him or if he just died. Just wanted to point it out. -- 71.75.131.228 11:43, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

Apparently he can have a bounty on his head - I've seen him attacked by guards.

I just saw him travel into the sewers! wtf??? diegro

The article claims he may be related to Fathis Aren, but strangely enough there seems to be some connection between him and Fathis Ules (which might be why he sometimes goes to Chorrol). I got Fathis Ules to follow me around (using the Companion Share & Recruit mod) and Dovyn Aren would randomly show up at my houses or even in the Skingrad Mages guild. Dovyn is such a liar; he told me that he doesn't keep up with his old Thieves Guild contacts... 71.164.27.38 18:52, 5 November 2007 (EST)

Two observations about Dovyn Aren:

• I've seen him get killed while traveling between Chorrol and Imperial City. The old codger ain't afraid to mix it up with bandits and beasts.
• Today I found him standing by the door inside Fathis Ules' house. I guess every time he tries to get out of the Thieves Guild... they pull him back in.

Time and date: Sun's Dawn 12, 3E434, starting at around 12:45 am. 100% Chameleon in effect.

After finishing up exploring the sewers under the Elven Garden District, I decided to leave them through the entrance to Fathis Ules' house. After arriving on the first floor at around 1:00 am, I noticed Arvyn Aren going into the basement. Following him, I decided to pause and check this wiki on him. Only the one person mentioned his being seen in the sewers, so I decided to give a little something back. At worst, this is just one of those weird things that can happen.

Inevitably he walked through to the Sewer Waterworks. (At this point, I wish I had left more creatures behind, and see if he dealt with them. I might try to find an earlier save and see if he does this routine often.) In the end, it was simply Arvyn taking the scenic route to get outside into the Elven Garden District via the sewer exit. Really strange.

He then proceeded to leave the city and head towards Chorrol. I reloaded to before I pick-pockted his armor and weapon, as in light of the statement that he's willing to fight bandits, I felt bad leaving him unarmed. Kept the gold though; that should keep him safe from bandits anyway.

Fathis Aren's house

I found him in Farthis Aren house so they must be related eh? 96.32.141.237 00:18, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Sounds interesting. I'll have an in-depth look at him one of these days. --Krusty 08:17, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Moved from Article

The following was moved from the main article –Eshe^talk 22:49, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

broke into faithis Ules house and after finding nothing .. . came out and there was Dovyn Aren! Game says he cannot train me further. Alliteration skill at 42. I am level 17 Warrior Mage that cannot open an "average" chest. — Unsigned comment by 71.231.91.135 (talk) on Nov. 28, 2009

Clothing optional?

On my latest playthrough I experienced that bug mentioned where he stands outside Ules' House all night. Not only this but he was also naked, is this part of the bug or just coincidence? MrL 09:44, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, he OFTEN wanders around without clothing (on his torso). To be honest, when I wrote the page I gave up on explaining it - due to the many bugs that Fathis Ules causes poor Dovyn. Maybe some CS people can help with this. --Krusty 09:47, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

All of the AI packages that are unique to him (DovynArenVisitCheydinhal, VisitFathisUles, DovynArenSleep5x6) have him unequip his weapons and armor. mxk101^Talk 09:55, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Mxk - looking at the article, I realize that it is already partially described that he takes of his armor in the evening. Given his complex schedule, I think it is good enough. --Krusty 10:41, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Related to Fathis Aren?

Is it possible that Fathis Aren is Dovyn's son, and that Fathis is named after Fathis Ules, Dovyn's best friend and former Thieves guild associate? This is merely guesswork, but the theory seems logical enough. Any comments?Kitkat1749 01:19, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

As the article states:

"He has the same last name as Fathis Aren. However, there is no indication in the game that the two are related."

We can not confirm that they are related, though it is possible as you pointed out. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 01:23, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
