** Official Oblivion Story / Help Thread **

Right, this is really starting to **** me off. The game's crashed 4 times now while travelling by horse from Bruma to the Imperial City! :mad:

It's a truly great game (45 hours in now), but I hope this isn't the shape of things to come from the 360. I thought I was buying a console, not a PC!! :(
 
ARRRGGGHHHH, Just tell me!*

I'm stuck. I've just finished the 'Recapture of Kavatch' (about a week ago now actually) and I need to talk to Salivus Marcus (the guy who gave me his armour) to find out where Martin the Illigitimate son of the king is.

The green arrow points right to him, it is my active quest, i've tried doing other quests and taking to everyone in the immediate vicinity and they all pretty much say talk to Salivus Marcus.

So I do, and keeps telling me that 'kavatch was rebuilt from ruins once before and it'll do it again'

How do I get him to tell me what i want to know?

Thanks

*Not you, Marcus :p
 
Hi i just bought this game for my xbox 360 and wondered (after gawping and running around in the meadow admiring the scenery lol) if theres any sort of general starting tips anyone has for newcomers? gaining money, tips on playing certain characters etc.

Im molding my character from a tree-hugging wood elf (ohh how i love getting the wisecracks from npcs i be sure to note their names for later *evil snigger*) to be a vicious dark alchemic assassin (recently managed to 'borrow' a calcinometer and that other thing, (from a magic shop, hard lock! but got a few soul gems as well though i have to sell them i guess), as well as having mortar n pestle for alchemy not sure if i see much difference yet but im only apprentice in alchemy. Btw i say borrow because you cant really steal anything and keep it!!! because then the next time i speak to a guard they see the stolen goods!). A few things though. How can i get good at markmanship? (as im interested in stealth bow kills) Seems much quicker to level up melee weapons in a fight as sometimes because of the draw distance the enemy is almost upon me so i have to go melee (or the cavern etc is so dark i cant see them to fire at them with my bow..nightvision sure would be handy for an elf!!)
Are there trainers for levelling markmanship?

I've joined the blades, thieves guild and the arena as well im level 2 after about 4 hours. Next main quest is going to Kvatch to fetch the son i think.
Should i just go along with these for now? Or should i start murdering straight away?

I read someone earlier was a vampire assassin?? jumping about the rooftops at night and slipping into terrified people's homes for a quick drink lol that sounds awesome! Does drinking someones blood kill them? will they still talk to you afterward? does it turn them into a sorta slave? or a zombie? Would be cool to have a house and keep a stock of fresh blood in the cellar or smt LOL. I dont mind the downside of playing a vampire (sunlight etc) as i think that maybe is part of the fun.

thanks
 
Do what you want! Its completely open-ended. My stealth char is 15hrs in, still carrying the amulet.

I would recommend murdering someone in cold blood, sleeping for an hour and then joining the dark brotherhood (you'll see what I mean). Things that will help you immensely are available there, just make sure to barter with the right guy (he doesn't like you, but he has good stuff).

The dark hallways are where its at :)

Oh, I've never had any wise-cracks from the NPCs. They're probably too scared of me...
 
(themagicpirate) have you actually tried talking to martin i had martin with me when was clearing out the rest of kvatch he cant die and he's quite good with magic good to have follow you around on other quests other than main one he's in the church behind one of the pillars

Read my post at the top of page 14 for a description of Soul Gems and how you use them :)

Just use the bow a lot. It's easier when you're sneaking around as you can get a bit closer to you enemy to shoot him. Fire one arrow off for extra damage, he'll get hit and run for you, then put at least one more in him while he closes the distance. Switch to your melee weapon for when he's right on top of you. My marksmenship is over 50 now without having it trained once.

You really can play it your way. Follow the main quest line, or just wander from town to town talking to people and doing random quests. I'm about 40 hours in and I've only done 2 extra parts of the main quest to you.

There is no one called Martin anywhere in Kavatch, I've spoken to everyone and they all say 'You mean the priest, he never made ot out of the city, speak to savlian marcus' and marcus keeps givin me the same old boomph about Kavatch being rebuilt.

This is really starting to cheese me off :mad: :mad: :mad:


Edit : Its Savlian Matius not marcus. Where is Martin!!
 
i'm telling you u missed him when you first got in the church obviosly you carried on with doing the seige of kvatch quest instead of piliging the church. if you start of by the top of the stairs with then going down directly behind you walk forward and look on your right you'll see a preist there thats martin in a grey/blue robe he's standing behind a pilla out of sight of the guards.

So u closed the first oblivion gate right? Then went into the ruined kavatch and killed the monsters? Then u went in the church and talked to everyone? and u didnt come across martin??? He was in the church towards the back on the left when i did it.

Yeah, Yup (after going thro the sewers and opening the gate and then finsing the dead count in the castle), Yes (the 2 that are there) and no :(. he is definatly 100% not in the church. The quest marker points to Salivus Matius and he is no help.
 
i think your meant to talk to im before you go of with matius guy i had martin with me when i went to sort out the duke looks like you'll be starting again had you done many side quest or had you just started ?
