I missed it too and got annoyed, so sold all his silver and fine wine, trashed his whole house. Came back later to find it on the table by the frontdoor!

Still struggling with this quest though...been to the woods and back but an NPC won't divulge some info!

I am loving this game way too much. Currently a Khajiit thief/assassin hybrid.

rally is a regroup order (in the old days soldiers rallied around the king/flag ect.), i gess local allied NPC's would stick close to you or a target such as martin.. i've not tried one, to be sure.

i think he will be able to run it okay but is will not be able to have all the bells and whistles enabled. its a great game even without some of the eye candy. best thing he can do is fire it up with the settings low and enable stuff bit by bit until the frame rate becomes an issue.

What does everyone use as there main destruction spell?

I plan on making a 20pt fire/shock/frost damage touch spell as soon as I get my levels up.

I've had a 110 Damage shock spell. Although it takes a lot of magika up! I don't like mage anymore anyhoo.

Ahh, such an annoying thing happened to me! Was doing one of the mages recommendation quests, had retrieved an item and was taking it back to another character. On my way, another npc comes along and tries to take it off me. Since i was low on health rather than fight, I ran to the character i needed to give the item to. When I got there, they wouldn't accept the item and the guy I needed to kill was nowhere to be seen. Had to find some cheat to spawn an npc then the hex code for that specific character. Only after that would the quest be completed!

Does anyone know of a way to fix the blocky water reflections for objects at a distance? It makes the whole scene look really crap!

Couldn't you have just used the map to see where his marker was?

No, after I realised that I needed to kill the guy I went back to the location he attacked me. The keys I had no longer worked and the guy had completely disappeared. Nothing on the map at all!
