These portals (below) are used in the story quests of Blackwood for Daedra to enter Nirn, why do the current Oblivion Portal world events not use these same portals?

    because apparently having immerisve yet intrusive popping up gates flood the area with deadra was to scary for players to handle :(
    meanwhile i can never find the bloody things and when i do its normally already about to be completed
    PLEASE REPLY TO ME WITH @dsalter otherwise i'm likely to miss the reply if its not my own thread

    Fight back at the crates and boxes, together we can change things.

    Is that the actual reason given?

    Also curious about this for immersive aspects, the Ivory Brigade armor from the main questline isn't Ivory Brigade style.

    Two guesses...

    1. The Creative Director thought they looked cooler and decided to drop the previously used portals in favor of these new ones.

    2. The old gates require more world editing and preparation. That would add time and cost to development, possibly further limiting the locations where they can appear. The ball-hanging-from-twine/christmas-ornament/cat-toy is probably less dependent on the surrounding terrain.

    Besides, anything they do that contradicts what they have done before is simply tossed to the writing team to explain in some creative writing found in a book somewhere.

    There is nothing that kicks you out of these instances, that I am aware of. While I don't think you can't exit the final boss room after entering it, I have to wonder whether he simply respawns after a few minutes.
