Just took my first few steps into the third act and so far I've been enjoying it. The main story's generally good but it's mainly the setting that keeps pulling me back to the game.

The combat took a while to get used to but after fiddling around with the different camera modes for some time I ...

Aye, Frostcrag Spire.

You can always create your own spells at the Arcane University.

You cannot create the potion yourself, the only way in the original game to get the potion is by doing the quest.

However, if you get the Vile Lair mod you can get rid of vampirism in a ridiculously easy way.

To get access to spellmaking you need to join the Mages' Guild, receive a recommendation from each Guild "outpost" (there's one in every city) and thus gaining access to the Arcane University (Imperial City) and its spellmaking/enchanting quarters.

Or, you could get the Wizard's Tower ...

New means to travel besides horses and walking. (eg. Guild Gudes like in Morrowind, Caravans similar to the Silt Striders, boats along the shores)

The Dwemer are the Dwarves of TES. They're the race that lived on the island of Vvardenfell before the Chimer (now Dunmer, Dark Elves) came there. They're all gone now, though. The Dwemer weren't actually short either, being of approximately the same height as the Dunmer. They are called Dwarves due ...

The Emperor's Cuirass is part of the set that Martin wears at one point in the mainquest. You cannot get a hold of any of the set's pieces in any way, because it is set to be not playable. However, the Imperial Dragon armor that you get for finishing the mainquest looks exactly the same as the ...

I think I know what you did wrong. Since you said that the Cure Potion you got with the AddItem command ended up in the Misc category, I'd bet that you used the wrong code. The potion you got was the one you'd give to the Count to cure his wife. This potion is in the Misc category to ensure that ...

There's an even easier way to move on.

You can find a scroll for each of the four needed spells in a chest next to Denel (the male mage close to the pillar). All of the scrolls are On Target. So, you don't have to go find a spell merchant and/or create a new spell. Just pick up those scrolls.

[QUOTE=qizatch]Ita Renius won't sell me a single spell. Disposition is at 100 and I don't even have an option to buy spells from her. Anyone know what's up with that?[/QUOTE]

[Blackened] Make sure that you are trying to buy the spells after 8 AM and before 6 PM. At 6 PM she'll go eat and after that ...

I've heard of a few people running into this bug.[Try this:]Usually, the only way to fix is to either load a previous save and make sure you speak with Ahdarji before opening the box when the Countess sleeps. If that doesn't help use a console command to get the item:
player.additem 00035E95 1

[QUOTE=Siberys]I think they apply at the same time gaining both benefits. Therefore increasing the damage because of the weakness addition.[/QUOTE]

Sadly, that's not how it works. The target must have the Weakness effect before the spell with the Damage effect hits. So, you'd need to create two ...

[Minor spoiler]
You should seek out Ita Rienus (female Imperial) of the Bravil Mages' Guild. She usually hangs around in their basement there but tends to show her face on the main floor from time to time. She's the one with the lowest versions of each spell, those being of Journeyman level.

[QUOTE=Dowaco]spoiler Take the long pole you find in the room and jam it into the gears. Took me a while too since that type of object manipulation is not in the rest of the game.[/QUOTE]

This quest took a while for me to figure out as well. First I tried to use the grab button to place the poles ...

[QUOTE=ashes2233]it incredibly easy aswell as all of the charaters are dumb[/QUOTE]

That's an understatement of epic proportion. I have to say, I was expecting a whole lot more from this quest with all the hype it was given.

Question: Are you on PC or XBox 360?

If the former, you can easily use the console to fix the quest for you.

The commands to give you the Count's ring and proper journal entry:
Player.AddItem 00032DA0 1
SetStage 00028C72 90


If those fail and you just want to get rid of the quest from the ...

[QUOTE=WARLORD HECTOR]How you could do a better enchantment then the namira ring?

Rings have constant effects. And item with constant effects can not have multi-specs (spell effects) as I know. But the namira ring has fortify 10 points of all magic skills. So if you are a spell user the ring can be ...
