to bad they patched that glitch.

My biggest peeve is that you can't store items in a chest, without it becoming the possesion of whom ever's building it is. Example, the foot lockers in Fort Darius, now I'm a member of the legion, so I thought I could store my stuff in the lockers and take them out. Well the guards who where in the room thought otherwise, so they decide to attack me. Now I don't like being attacked for such a stupid reason. So I killed those guys, then had all of the other guards in the Fort attack me. So I killed them, then went on a rampage. I then went to Caldera, and was mass attacked by the Legionairs there. I couldn't stand up to the onslaught of 10 heavily armed guards. They hacked my armor to pieces, with me as well. But I managed to kill 7 of them before falling to their attacks.

Fortunately I saved the game just before storing my items (several ebony items, as well as glass ones), in the footlocker, just in case this happened.

Sidenote-- any one have any luck finding an item that will hold more than 120 enchant points? I have been able to enchant an equisite ring with 4 bound spells on constant -- bound gloves, bound longsword, bound longbow, bound spear.

This way I can switch between these weapons and gain the benefit of having an increased skill with each of these weapons as I equip them.

These four spells used up 100, or 110 enchant points.

I haven't yet tried to enchant anything, I have a golden saint and a dremora ready to go, I just seem to spend a lot of time in the hinterlands and not being in town.

Of course, before that I spent a lot of time exploring Vivec, so I was sick of towns for a while.

I should write an email for them to release one for the X-Box. Man I could use a storage house, I guess I could knock off a guy in his house and take it over, but I don't want to do that.

Hey if you progress through the legion, can you retire and get a house?

I upgraded to 1.1. (0625) I may have the build number wrong - a very long dl from the official site, copied the Video directory from the CD to my HDD and applied the appropriate NoCD crack from gamecopyworld which replaced a sluggish 6Meg executable with a sleek 3Meg substitute that runs like a greyhound -- it seems that the CD copy protection insists on running an on-the-fly encrypt - decrypt on all data thus crippling the games performance.

That is the most annoying part of the game, if you run they can't keep up and will just stop. So you have to walk or keep going back to fetch them.

With the patch they DO run and seem to keep up a little better.

I remember her. Just kill her.

In other new, I maxed out my Hlaalu Stronghold. I love the fact that it comes with all the Ebony weaponry .

Re: chests, before I got my stronghold I was using the room just inside the Ald-ruhn Fighters Guild as my 'home'. It was really irritating, because if I forgot to close the door I got expelled.

Re: the main quest. Just do it! You get some really cool **** from doing the main quest, and people like you more.

Other quests that are massively beneficial are the Legion quests. One of those nets you the Masque of Clavicus Vile, which in addition to being a might Heavy Helmet has a constant effect of +30 Personality. The final 'quest', where you become Knight Dragon, gets you Chrysamere, a bloody amazing two-handed sword, and the Lord's Mail, a decent bit of Legion armour (for once...most of their stuff is awful).

Raid Daedric Shrines as much as you can. Once you get past level 10 you should be able to clean most of them out, which means you find Golden Saints (Soultrap AND they have Daedric weapons), Daedric Shrine quests, and lots of Orcish armour.

Good advice. The main quest is actually incredibly fun, too.

Also, here's a list of items that simply must be possessed at all times:

1) Boots of Blinding Speed (and the supplimental spell or enchanted item that casts resist magika once or more)

2) Constant Effect Levitation Ring (can get +8 Levitate on an exquisite ring)

3) Constant Effect Fortify Strength (cuts down on trips back to loot)

Anything else I should look into? I also have a helm (Redoran Master's, though I'm not in that House) with about 20pt Night-Eye constant effect, that after a few hours of play I can officially say is necessary (with the boots of blinding speed).

Why? I've never run (hehe) into trouble without them, and that would require having a constant effect resist Magicka to be useful. What's their armour rating?

quote: 2) Constant Effect Levitation Ring (can get +8 Levitate on an exquisite ring)

Again, why? I have a Steel Blade of Heaven (there are a few of them around) that I use when needed, and you can't rest while levitating. Having said that, levitate is very useful for getting around Vivec.

quote: 3) Constant Effect Fortify Strength (cuts down on trips back to loot)

Well, yeah, but an Amulet of Divine/Almsivi Intervention and a Feather spell can do that anyway. Having said that, I'm going around with constant +20 strength, so...

quote: Anything else I should look into? I also have a helm (Redoran Master's, though I'm not in that House) with about 20pt Night-Eye constant effect, that after a few hours of play I can officially say is necessary (with the boots of blinding speed).

You can get Belts of Sanguine [whatever] that are constant effect Fortify Block/Marksman/Axe/Long Blade/etc. that are very useful. My favourite is my custom-made Guardian Amulet, constant +10 shield on self.

Also, enchant your freakin' weaponry. An Ebony Broadsword can easily hold 20 fire damage on target, 10 restore health on self, cast when strikes.

One more tip, folks: once the game is patched, Indoril armour (the stuff the Ordinators wear) is top-notch Medium armour (before the patch it alternates between Medium and Heavy). However, if you EVER gets seen wearing the helm or cuirass by and Ordinator, you are on EVERY Ordinator's ****-list, forever. So I am.

I believe there are almost full sets of glass and Indoril armour in Ghostgate (you have to go there for some missions, and to do one of the pilgrimages). Speaking of which, join both the Temple and the Cult and boost your rank so you can use their shrines for free. The Cult also give you some nice artifacts.

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

JohnIII, the boots and levitate are both to get around quickly. You can go anywhere as the crow flys, which is helpful for both speed, and finding stuff.

There is a particular "bug" that allows one to cast a resist magika effect once and put on the boots, and the resist magika effect lasts for as long as you have on the boots. I have an enchanted pair of pants with 100% resist magika for 5 seconds, which is more than long enough to put on the boots. They're also the only boots that I ever need now, since I no longer carry around a pair of spare indoril boots.

The boots do leave a bit of black, which is why I have the night-eye enchanted helm.

I agree, levitating is useful. But it's not useful enough to waste money on enchanting it.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I somehow doubt that it's actually a cheat. It didn't get fixed in the patch, and I'm sure the developers didn't want you to run around very slowly for the whole game.

The Enchanting for the levitation ring only took about 40k, which is easily gotten for a couple full suits of indoril armor from thouse Ordinators who keep attacking you. =P

Well, there are several ways of doing this. Hunt smugglers--they are all over the west coast. Hunt Daedra-worshippers. Do quests for your various factions.

Selling stuff is a problem. I eventually cracked because, well, it's just stupid not to have anybody with more than 5000 gold and yet practically give the player items that are worth more. So I added one of those plug-ins that inserts a trader with about 100000 gold somewhere.

I had to kill him, because I found Chrysamere before I was supposed to and sold it to him, and then he equipped it, but it was much easier than going to Creeper and waiting for days.

JohnIII, just edit the Creeper in the TES. I did that, and now he has 999k (and will buy everything, basically).

Chowlett, you can raid the Great House vaults in Vivec. I can give you details if you wanna hear about it. That's a relatively easy 600k or so. I can also tell you more spoilers if you want.

The other thing is that basically all of my money comes from high priced weapons and jewls, and you can sell jewels for a high price to Ajira in the Mages Guild, because you do so many quests for her that she likes you 100/100.
