    What exactly are you looking for? It's an RPG and it has no multiplayer. Maybe it'll have updates on Live, and it supposedly has those live achievements (unlocking).

    I would assume that with live you'll be able to download mods etc.

    where does the Rindir keep his staffs in his shop in the market district at night
    im looking to steal some

    any tips for improving my security skill


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    The more expensive and desirable items don't show up in the shops, only when you try and buy them.

    Check the list top see if there are any trainers for security, but the easiest way is to just keep picking locks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,889 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    yea of course it has live tripper. every xbox 360 game does. doesnt mean its multiplayer stuff though. you are online while playing it. there will be downloadable content.

    tip for always winning the bets at the arena
    I found Ulen Athrams house (I assume hes the hubby) in Talos Square central rotunda alright, but after inviting myself in and heading upstairs just after midnight, the only living soul in the house was Ulen - and hes definitly not to be fluffled with as I found to my surprise/horror. Any other details on where his wife sleeps because it doesnt appear to be a happy marraige?

    Not so much for the skill but it will save you a lot of broken LockPicks
    From Leyawiin leave by the East gate, cross the river and then head N.NE for about 500 feet or so. You will find the Shrine of Nocturnal, perform her quest and you get an unbreakable lockpick (With a huge Security skill modifier).

    I made grand champion of the arena - yay me!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    how do i get the map onscreen?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    Tab then click on the compass in the bottom right of that menu.

    Im at Gladiator at the moment... is there many more ranks after that?

    Im only level 3 but I seem to waste every opponent with barely a scratch. Is the rest of the game this easy?

    no way... some parts in the game are really hard, depends i suppose on the weapons and armour you are wearing. What you got?

    After gladiator is hero - then comes champion - then grand champion

    Does anyone know how to:
    destroy the machinery surrounding the "hist tree", on one of the final Fighters Guild missions? It's in the basement of the Blackwood company.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,614 ✭✭✭BadCharlie

    the game uses level scaling so they are never to far ahead or below you.

    D'Oh! That's what I was trying to do but my brain was in Half Life 2 mode and I was trying to manually put them in! Thanks!

    Fair enough. Still damn easy though, if I push the difficulty slider up do I get skills faster for fighting them?

    thanks CreeD for the tip

    You can use Varla stones (or is it Vorla stones?), and they will fully recharge all items in your inventory, the downside is their worth 1000 to sell, but its cheaper than paying a mage for it. You also sometimes pick up soul stones with a soul chagre already in them, use them instead, if your in the mages guild theres loads of charged soul stones in the guild halls where you can borrow them.

    Cant find this following those directions.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 18,115 ✭✭✭✭ShiverinEskimo


    Jumpy - Directions:
    Follow the road leaving the east side of Leyawin (southernmost city) and it crosses the river and turns north (left as you walk from the city). Keep on trucking and it'll be on the right across a stone bridge. If you see an Oblivion gate on the left your practically there.

    If anyone wants a really easy way to get 500G, try this:
    Go to the arena before it opens, and the guy wont be standing beside the lockbox. Pick the lock, (its rated as hard, but i got it in 2 lockpicks), youll more than likely get arrested after this but all i had to pay was a 5G fine, took my stuff back out of the evidence box in the jail when noone was lookin, and bingo, 500G's back in my account :D
