Ok I need some help before I lose my mind. I've been working on a couple shrine quests after finding the necessary offerings and I'm stuck on Sanguine's. I can't figure out at all how to get into the dining room. The bitch never leaves it, so I can't beg for an invite, and I've explored every nook and cranny fifty times looking for a secret passage.

I showed up and the guard claimed that, while I didn't have an invitation, I'm cleary dressed for the party. And I'd have to be a dumbass to dress up if I wasn't supposed to attend the party, so he let me in.
I think it was because I don't wear armor. Try taking off all your armor and wearing some robes or something and talking to the guard.

edit: and if you find yourself going nuts *after* you get in and cast the spell:
yes, you are *supposed* to lose all your stuff. When you get back to the shrine it will be waiting for you in a chest. That drove me nuts for like an hour trying to set up the perfect shot of the spell so that I wouldn't be included and lose all my shit.

Funniest spell ever.
Make a level 25 frenzy spell with a area effect of 10. Then, go to the bar at night in the market area of the Imperial City. Zap everyone in the room and a massive bar fight will ensue. Then, drive them out into the streets and watch as the guards join in the rumble. The streets are littered with corpses right now. :lol
Only thing that sucks is that I'm level 35 now, so the spell won't affect guards. =(

"one time"? "a novice glassthing"?
I took ALL of their novice glassthings. Every fucking thing that had a value higher than 0. Yes, including EVERY single book. I think there were like 200 in the Mages Guild.
Got a nice Silver Shortsword from the Fighter's Guild too. The head office, no less!
Protip: Not all displays are locked.
I had a weird question, I've got a reccomendation from all the headmasters of the Mages Guild, but nothing has happened. They keep pointing to the same headmaster even though I got my recommendation from him (the Finger book one). Another arrow points me to a direction, but on the big map the direction doesn't LEAD anywhere. I don't know where its pointing or why. Anyone can help me on this?
Also, is there any advantage of giving the book to Eurea or whatever her name is?

I found a weirdass side dungeon near Bravil. It's called Veyond Cave.
What's weird about it for me is, I entered at level 23... and the first thing I faced was a mud crab. After that, every enemy I've faced has been naked argonians (aside from like 3 that wore clothes). And since I'm level 23, the drops are absurd. I got a damn nice Ring of Thieves, and like 3 enchanted daggers, and an enchanted glass cuirass.

If you go to the active quest and click A it will take you to the map and show where the arrow leads. Otherwise if the arrow is green it means you're in the same "zone" with the marker (i.e. you don't have to pass through any doors). Hope that helps.. I haven't done the mages guild things (I'm a warrior) though..
That's what I mean. On my 'radar' thing at the bottom, there's an arrow pointing me off in a direction, but when I check the big map, there is no red arrow in that direction. Its pointing me to nowhere!thorns said:
Also, I stole the Fingers book back from the headmaster, but then realized the Eurewhatever girl was gone. So I went to put it back, but it won't let me cause its a key quest item. But the headmaster still tells me how its "locked somewhere safe", somewhere safe being in the unlocked chest in his room with the door swung right open. Oh god :lol
EDIT - I had to have missed something. But what?
LakeEarth said:
Have you activated that Fingers of the Mountain II quest? She should still be in town. Either hanging around outside the Mage's Guild or inside the Grey Mare pub. I opted out of stealing the book back for her and ended Part II that way. Then, AFTERWARDS, I stole the book back, but since both quests were over, it was essentially a dead key item. Funny.
LakeEarth said:
I gave it to the guildmaster right away as well. Afterwards, go and talk to that woman again, and she'll scream out you for a bit, then tell you to go and steal it back for her, activating the Part II version of that quest. At which point you can give it to her or simply refuse to do it for her (which is what I did).
Ahh maybe that's what happened, I gave it back to him, and then I lost where she was at and there was no arrow pointing her out, maybe expalining the wayward arrow. I'll try it out now.Mejilan said:
Alright so no more poitning at that guildmaster, but the magic pointing arrow still exists...hmmm...
No no. When you gave the guildmaster the book, you completed the quest (at which point, you had no "active" quest, and shouldn't have an arrow pointing where to go.) If you then track down Eanora, or whatever she's called, she'll give you a NEW quest, which you can either do, or not, logging it as "completed" either way. So, if you proceed, you should have two quests with the same name (only the 2nd will have a "II" after the name).

Anyone else think that mountain lions are evil creatures? I'm level 12 and these are the most overpowered creatures I've ever encountered. I have mithril and chainmail armor and they kill me in 3 hits.. so I have to run from them, and I don't always get away.. I'm thinking of making a mod to get rid of mountain lions from areas aside from Bruma :lol
Yeah I realize what you meant. But when I only finished Finger of the Mountain 1, there was still an arrow pointing to the guildmaster even when everything was completed. Doing 2 got rid of that arrow.Mejilan said:
OH SHIT, I found the magical pointing arrow but it wasn't magic at all. I missed Leyawiin this whole damn time! Didn't know it was there :lol Silly me.

So I'm guessing there's absolutely no way into the Imperial Orrey door in the Arcane University lobby? That must be the only door in the game that cannot be opened.

If the fix is really close to 0% performance hit, I hope they find a way to bring it or something similar to Xbox 360's Oblivion.

rod said:i need a quick sure fire way to raise merchantile, come on fellas
Someone suggested looting one of your guild halls (since it doesn't count as stealing) and selling the stuff to the merchants.
rod said:
Price MAY be a factor in raising Mercantile, but quantity SURELY is. I promise you.
My 360 has turned out to be nothing more than a very expensive, underwhelming DVD player. If you see me online and in the Dashboard, it's because I'm watching a movie. At least, it does that a little better than my PS2 used to. I bough the PC version of Oblivion.

TWO games warrents busting a crap load of cash on a system? I don't think so, just wait for the first price drop when there'll be more than TWO good games.

That looks so much better with the new textures. No performance hit at all? Why the hell couldn't they have just put textures like that in the retail game?
I borrowed my friend's copy in anticipation of my X360 and oblivion arriving in 1-3 weeks...
and it doesn't run too well on my comp, fair enough given that it's a Athlon xp 2000 running a 9800 pro... two venerable pieces of hardware that have served me well in the past but have started to age mightily in the face of games like Oblivion...
but I don't think that's the reason behind all the characters been so fugly.
Oh god why is it so hard to make decent looking characters in Oblivion? Fugly to no end! And why is there even a beard slider for women? GUh!
