There's an illusion spell (think you can get it from a book) where you can throw a ball of light at a wall, and it lights up the immediate area for a minute or so, and unlike the vampire power, you can use it more than once a day - you just need to have enough magicka to cast it.

That's magelight I think, but Candlelight is similar, and also better. Instead of staying wherever you cast it, it follows you around. Great for caves and other darkened rooms, but not so great if you're trying to be stealthy...

Anyone done the Mind of Madness? Sheogorath has me in stitches, you can't beat a mad old c**t with a Scottish-like accent

You can use that power as much as you like, it's not limited at all which is why I like it so much. Magelight is alright but just find it a bit of a pain

Ha, I actually went back and did a mission on the main questline last night, First time I've gone anywhere near it in about 3 weeks!

Any word on the DLC yet?

Not specifically but here's some stuff the devs have come up with so far.

On phone so apologies for no direct link.

There's rumours of there being DLC based around Morrowind/Cyrodil. Don't have the article to hand, but apparently someone no-clipped their way to Morrowind, or at least a scaled down version of it. The textures were low res, but could perhaps be a pre-cursor to something more substantial in DLC. Which would be...awesome.

[GiGi]

A fully updated Morrowind would be the greatest thing in ES games since ever. It's a bit big though, would probably be a standalone game at some point in the future.

Here's the crazy messabouts from Bethesda.

The giant mud crab is awesome.

Loving the dragon mounts, would be great flying over the landscape.

[wellboy1991]

The dragon mount looks fucking awesome. Imagine being able to tour the full map and get involved in some dragon v dragon combat.

That really is an outstanding video.

Pretty much fucked in this game now. About four of my active quests - including my favourite Thieves Guild ones - require me to seek out people in Markarth. Thing is, ages ago I did that mission in Markarth where you're framed for murder, and I can't go back there as I just get attacked on site or flung in jail as I've such a high bounty (that the guards won't accept as a bribe either). Every other city I'm fine, apart from that b*****ding place.

Is that the Forsworn conspiracy mission? If so,

Spoiler

the next mission is a follow on "No One Escapes Cidnha Mine, and once you complete that (there are two sides you can take) you will be pardoned FOC and the game can continue, although I have read of people having bugs with this

Aye, me. There's one bit you need to go through a gate in the mine to talk to an NPC to proceed the mission, but it doesn't open, nor does it say it's locked, so on that save, I'm stuck at that bit.

Thankfully, I had made a new save before travelling to Markath. I might have to try it again, as I want to complete all the Thieves Guild quests, and I won't be able to until I can get back to Markath without everyone attacking me!

[GiGi]

Anyone tried any mods? I've started a new game after completing it and triedsome Assassins Creed armour, retextured Dragon Priest masks (which look fucking tremendous btw) and I've just seen this. Most of you will be like

store all stolen goods and go back to the shrine. accept arrest you need to go to jail for this quest. (doesnt show up on times jailed curiously)
once its gone through it all, you get your things back, its how you speak to the npc

anyone else thing it got slightly buggier after the patch ? i now need to ask to join the guild i am head of..

I did that mission a couple of days ago, think it goes along the lines of...

Spoiler

talk to guy at fire
talk to orc, who will ask you to find a shiv for him
Ask unlucky guy to make you shiv, he will do so for bottle of skooma
Get bottle of skooma via persuasion (if speech high enough) or brawl
get shiv

Go back to orc, persuade if speech high enough or give shiv
He will open gate
Go and visit Forsworn leader
If have shiv, sneak up and kill him, if not you'll have to shout / magic him to death which will attract more attention
Loot his body for note and key
Escape through dwarven ruin (hardest bit) in sneak mode.
Double-barrelled bloke will congratulate you at exit, give you all your stuff back plus a ring

What bit you stuck at?

Also, had idea of completing this as my stealth guy then going back and trying to do it as a mage and again as a two-handed warrior. The fact it's taken me 60 hours to get to this point suggests it might take a bit more time than I have...

First time I did it, I missed the wee cave entrance where you need to talk to one of the guys, and the gate upstairs can't be opened, so I thought it was a glitch.

Passed it now, and can walk the streets of Markath a free man again
