You need to be a little clearer about what the problem is........do you need to talk to someone, meet with someone? What exactly happens when you try to get to the room with the green marker? Have you tried looking at the walkthrough for the Bruma recommendation found on this site?

Best RPG I ever played was one from the Sega Megadrive, about 12 years ago......
It was a D&D game, scripted by Gary Gygax the Father of RPG, and it might have been called Warriors of the Eternal Sun.
That game was my first experience of an RPG on a computer (of sorts) It had mystery, some wonderful ...

I found the Dread Zombie not as difficult as I'd feared......my big advantage is that I have a high Conjuration skill and can summon creatures eg Daedroth, Faded Wraith to my aid - they deal some serious damage. Also by backing off, hitting it with Fire Spells, poisoning blades with cumulative Fire ...

Thieves Guild Quest **Spoiler Warning***

I've just started the quest....and things have not gotten off to a good start! I have to steal the diary, and bring it back to the guy who is running the quest....of course, someone else got in first and stole it instead. Now I have a chance if I can steal it back from a girl called Metheun (or ...

Trouble on the Waterfront

Oblivion generally runs beautifully on my computer......execpt when I get to the Waterfront, where it slows down to a crawl (and I'm being kind.)
Is it just a case of that area being very graphics-hungry, or is there a bug?
It's a shame, I really want to begin the Thieves Quest as it sounds like ...

You can stay a vampire as long as you like.......but the cure is long and complicated, and the best advice I can give you for all things vampire related is the link to this site: Oblivion:Vampires - UESPWiki

Customising houses

Is there anywhere in the game you can go to buy furniture/decorate your house? I know there is probably a mod somewhere that will do thios, but I haven't had much success with mods in general! I only just bought my first house, in Anvil, and was just wondering.......

I had a Radeon 9200, on my machine, and though the game was nominally running, I couldn't even get an image when I was trying to create my character.

I upgraded to a Radeon 9600 Pro for less than 30 quid on eBay, and added another 512Mb of RAM to bring the total to 1,268Mb - the game runs like a ...

I had the same problem, I did the Finger of the Mountain quest early on and was very disappointed that the spell did not become more powerful as I did.
That's one of the huge flaws in the game in my opinion, the monsters being levelled up as you are, i won't go into that now but I hoped that spells ...

Size of souls

Does anyone have access to a list of the size of different creatures' souls? I'm looking to fill a couple of Grand Soul Gems to power enchantments, but humans's souls are too large, and most other creatures' are too small. I'm guessing it must be a humanoid of some sort but then I've ben wrong so ...

All the spells you need are in the chest. And you do have to do the spells in the right order:
Fire
Frost
Damage Magica
Fortify Magica

Each time you use the spell in the correct order, the door will raise a little more. Get it wrong, and the door will drop to the starting position, and you get a ...

Thanks guys. I have checked out Apple websites, and apparently it is possible. Whether Oblivion will run properly on a measly 512Mb of RAM that you get with a new iMac is another matter entirely......
I'd love to see that PC Gamer article, maybe I'll check on their website.

Training (I'm confused)

When you pay a trainer to advance your skill level, and you've trained 5 times, it says that's the limit for the 'current' level.
Exactly what level is that referring to? I trained 5 times on Level 22, then levelled up to 23, went back to the same trainer to be met with the same message. Does the ...
