Related Quest[edit]

I haven't looked into the inner workings of the quest, but how is this guy related to Next of Kin? rpeh •TCE 21:12, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

"Collatinus Vedius was intended to sleep from 10pm until 6am, but has no bed to sleep in, making Matthias more difficult to get to during the Dark Brotherhood quest Next of Kin." I guess he isn't directly related, but as the note says, does provide a 'challenge' in the killing of Matthias (sort of) but I'm fairly sure he says nothing about it so, I'm as clueless as you are - Emoboy64 21:17, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Some weirdo added that note, thinking he was cool. Collatinus is not related to that quest other than his relation with Matthias. --Krusty 21:22, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
I just added it because of Krusty's note. Feel free to remove it. Legoless 21:23, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and removed the related quests section. That should be ok - Emoboy64 21:25, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
(e/c)We've had trouble with that editor before. He strikes me as the worst kind of vandal, with his subtle but insidious edits to articles...
Seriously, though, the guideline is that only NPCs who play a role in a quest should be mentioned. This started in the Morrowind Redesign Project, when Lurlock pointed out that including every NPC who could get in your way would involve documenting a load of otherwise irrelevant NPCs.
The rule is (roughly) that an NPC is "involved" if he or she updates the quest in any way or provides unique information. I don't think this is one of those cases, although I'm quite ready to be outvoted here. rpeh •TCE 21:30, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Seeing as the fact that he's even an obstacle during the quest is due to an AI bug, I agree that he isn't directly "related". Legoless 21:37, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
