Ok I figured I'd start a new thread where we can try and help each other out on missions we're stuck on.

Here's mine, where the hell do you find those 12 fish scales? the guy says there's a spawning pond nearby but I've only come across 2 fish in the entire game, both right outside the prison sewers exit at the very start of the game.

From memory, the ruins of Miscarcand (half way between Kvatch and Skingrad) are inhabited by a gang of Bitterfish Goblins (or something). When you kill them you can always find some scales on their body.

I havent done that fish scale quest yet, and I just sold something like 15 scales for a few measley bucks :(

Cool, I'll check that place out, I've just been going from one town to the next, doing what missions are in each and then moving on to the next, getting mage guild recommendations and help for bruma in the process, I still haven't even been to the 2 cities at the bottom of the map

is this for the fisherman dude? if so, just swim around the lake and follow the green arrow on the compass; it changes place as you kill each fishy.

this is for the dude with the bung leg who needs 12 scales to retire, I activated the objective as my current mission, but no arrow pops up for me

Is that the guy who gets bashed by Chuck Norris?

LOL, thats gold parabol!!

hi need help thread, I need help thread.

ctd, you need to prove the curse and todo that you need to go back to your house and pick up the note from teh skeletons hand. also take the hand while your at it as you will need it later.

then go back to the dude and ask his help again.

and as for the other quest with the dead body, bribe the cop till his disp is 70 and he will tell ya everything, then talk to the wife...

then talk to the wife...

and do her dogy style.

and as for the other quest with the dead body, bribe the cop till his disp is 70 and he will tell ya everything, then talk to the wife...

This pretty much sums up oblivion in general.
Meet c***, use speechcraft (or bribe if your an sK :P) on said c***, profit.

and as for the other quest with the dead body, bribe the cop till his disp is 70 and he will tell ya everything, then talk to the wife...

It never gives me the chance to bribe or play speechcraft game. Speech box closes straight after telling me to f*** off.

You might be too much of a c*** for him to talk to? (too much infamy?)
Maybe try casting some charm spells on him?

Maybe try casting some charm spells on him?

I tried a 24pt charm spell, nothing different. I guess I need to improve speechcraft or soemthing.

Wear a guard uniform?

I need help not getting bloody sidetracked.
I am at level 25, and only just closed my first oblivion gate (the one the main quest gives you)
I walked up to the dude in fromt of the gate and he goes "Halt citizen go back"... i mean jeez i am wearing daedric armour and have an ebony sword, yet he doesnt just go "Hey get in there and kill stuff for us k?"

CTD, whats your infamy like? Have you got into the arcane university, you might be able to make a more powerful charm spell, or an improve speechcraft spell. (assuming thats the problem)

well i cant progress any further with the fighters guild quests dammit, stupid bug, hope a patch comes out soon.

Also everyone seems to like u lots more once u have completed the main campaign. Do one of the deadric quests that gives u the +20 to personality helmet also.

ctd

quest one, talk to the wife, I think she'll tell you to talk to people in town or give you some clues

quest two, there's a skeletal hand in front of the cabinet on the left when you walk in your house, I think from memory it's got a diary or something in it, take it back to that dude

If you wear fancy clothes, that helps influencing people too.

That makes you gay.

Were talking about a game greazy, not your personal life.

In times long ago, there exist a man, a man who fought against trolls, a man who dedicated his life for pretecting the internet, keeping it troll free keeping it idiot free... he died while protecting the thing he loved most. That man was Greasy I.

Well you sure are doing a bang up job there greazy doing what you "fought against", keep it up jackass.

ICE BURN

that seemed to work orbiter, so either it didn't work the first time or I didn't notice the marker on the map :/

Soon someone will ask for help in the missing painting quest :P

My gayest Oblivion experience(s) so far: At the Clavious Vile (or whatever) daedric shrine you have to get umbra and then hand it back to the statue. Everytime you do this on the 360 version it locks up. This prevents you from doing the final shrine quest which has the best reward (a book that gives you +10 to all your attributes I think it is).

Also, I did every other daedric shrine quest and put the items in my arch-mage quarters in the dresser at the end of the bed. I came back the next day and they had all vanished, as that particular dresser is one that respawns it's items. So many awesome and unique items lost forever :(

oh man that missing painting mission blew, I walked around for ages looking for that f***ing clue and eventually looked up the answer on the net.

I bought myself the stratergy guide, it has walkthrough's of all the quests but I try not to use it unless im really stuck.

cool now we know who is the man with all the answers.

:P

I don't mind helping, just give me the name of the quest and the city the quest starts in.

I did this quest on the 360, it locked up the first time but the next time i did it, it worked fine, must be lucky, but cant progress with the fighters guild quest because of a bug,

does anyone know the max level in this game?

I know of some quests you need to be level 21 to get.

yeah but ive heard of people reaching level 53

how the fug do you get to the guilds? i went to the Arcane university but there is no way for me to get in. both gates are locked and there is no one inside the mages lobby..what do i do?

there are guild houses in most citys (except imperial city), you need to see someone in Anvil mages guild house I think.

there is no one inside the mages lobby..what do i do?

Try revisiting during the day, roughly between 9am and 9pm.

Guild buildings are as mentioned above, in major cities. Just visit what you think is the main part of a city during the day, and try to enter buildings that have a sign hanging out the front. One of them will be the Mage's guild for that particular city. I say the day because you won't be able to access the Mage's living quarters when they're sleeping at night unless you are a member :)

In Anvil (left-most city on the map), there's one directly in front of you when you spawn in the town.

The mystery at harlun's watch quest, if u have already been to that cave before you have done the quest it bugs out and doesnt spawn the dead body of the person and cant complete the quest. lame.

ive got the 'its boring' bug :(
i tried reinstalling the game, latest drivers, even flashed my bios.
i dont know what the hells going on

pebkac

ive got the 'its boring' bug :(

Yeah, I can't justify playing more than 5 hours a week. So much gameplay for very little reward.

Might spend more time in the gym or do more study.

I was avoiding posting this to avoid s***ting up the thread, but since the above two posts did it already -- this game exceeds all my expectations of boredom. Shallow (shallow) & clumsy melee combat, mundane quests, no variety :( If you don't play a stealth class forget about even beginning to enjoy the f***ing thing, too.

ok i have been trying to do one of the Dark brotherhood quests, the one called Next of Kin, anyway im in the Imperial city and every time i kill this guy in an empty room with no witnesses and with out braking in to the room i still get caught as soon as i leave the house..how the fug am i supposed to kill this guy and get away with it?

also i seem to have a bounty on my head..how do i get rid of it?

What a surprise, Hashy doesn't like something else. Tell you what, it'd probably be easier if you only posted to tell us of things that you do like. Much less work then.

^ At least he tries things before making a comment.

Haha

I don't think I've ever seen Hashy say something positive ever.

8-)

also i seem to have a bounty on my head..how do i get rid of it?

pay the fine or join the theives guild.

Visit the armarnd christphoe (whatever) at the imperial water front

^ At least he tries things before making a comment.

I really wish I knew what this was referring to.

pay the fine or join the theives guild.

i cant pay it, it wont let me the onl option available is to resist arrest. otherwise i would gladly pay it, and as far as joining the theives guild goes, every time i brake into that house to steal the gernal i get arrested..where is the jernal anyway?

i get into the house go to the desk has some accounts book but no jernal..i took everything in the desk and did get it..where is the damn thing?

Well, I like rewarding and, more importantly, consistantly fun to play games. It was probably oblivion's disturbing lack of either that killed it for me. I normally like most RPGs.

A comprehensive list of games that I enjoy would be break the forums database. I'm not that jaded.

i'm pretty sure that it should be in the desk in the living/dining room of the house. Not in the bedroom. unless the other theif has already got it, then you have to pick it off them.

FYI dangles and anyone else encountering the bug in the harluns watch quest where the event trigger didnt work due to earlier looting of cave.

type this in console and it will fix it:

Setstage FGC10Swamp 40

i get into the house go to the desk has some accounts book but no jernal..i took everything in the desk and did get it..where is the damn thing?

Let her steal it an then snatch it from her while she's asleep. Much easier

Also, I've compiled a list from snatches of stuff I've surfed, of where to get training and from whom which I'll upload later (and link here) if anyone is interested. It's a two page .doc

I've also somehow contracted vampirism without noticing it... DAMMIT. Wondered why I was starting to get weird ass dreams then BOOM walk out into sunlight an bleed/burn to death

people still playing?
how many times have you fallen off your chair and/or woken up on the floor?

Let her steal it an then snatch it from her while she's asleep.

One of the thieves took off, so i just followed her and when she went into the house so did i, saw her sneaking about, opened the first desk i came to and there was the Journal.
She goes "I didnt see anything" and then walks off.

is there anyway to abndon quests and re-do them?
