    Hey, and I thought it's a starting rocket!
    This capture makes me curious how it is possible to capture a closing gate from the outside. How did you do that!?

      Third. How does one do this, maybe a consol command tontrigget the effect?
      Also is this in the origional programing or was it aded with some mod. I can't say I'd have programmed it in unless a boss told me to. Butbthen that might be why I'm not working for Bethezda.

      I set up an Ikeda 4x5 view camera on a Silk tripod and put the camera on timed shot while Gersilla went in and kicked arse. The photographic plate was developed in chromatic silver solution for 11 minutes at 18 degrees C. It was then exposed on a paper coated with silver nitrate for 8 seconds with aperture of 5.6.
      Seriously: I always wondered if anything happened on the outside when gates were closed so I tried Console Command "kill" and watched the results.
      No mods were harmed in any way in the filming of the gate's destruction. Do not try this at home unless it is under adult supervision. Safety first, so always wear protective clothing. Jeez... I suppose now everybody will want to try it.

      EDIT: Console Command is "closeobliviongate" not "kill".
      the picture was taken in Jan and I forgot the correct command. Carah just went into the game and got the right command. Sorry for the inconvenience. Your money will be refunded

      I would like to try that too. Fortunately (or should I say unfortunately? ) there are no Oblivion Gates in Nehrim.
      Thanks for this interesting and also funny explanation, Malachi!

      Money, What money? I came in the back with all the others that jumped the fence.

      I knew it was some console command. Didn't have time to look it up since I made the post. Been out today with family, something to do with an egg hunt. All I know is that I'm a little tired from being uncle jungle gym.
