I don't know if it is the case here, but be aware that there are major glitches with some of the 'find [random object]' side quests, where the quest marker appears to be on the other side of a wall but there's no way to get there, I have the same problem with finding some verse for the Bards.

You ...

Ooh, that's a good question! I have no idea though, sorry! Prices seem to go up as your skill goes up if that's any help?

I find 'Stupidface' as I call her, really buggy and I lose her a lot.

She normally turns up when you fast travel somewhere or sometimes I have to backtrack and she's usually just standing there with a stupid look on her face. Otherwise as has been said, she's died without you realising... more ...

I'm having the same problem, I'm sort of a mage-rogue type and if I go up against a straight fighter, one hit is enough to kill me, I try to stay at a distance, but it's not always possible for as long as it takes to kill them with magic.

I think my problem is I've levelled too fast, with alchemy ...

Have they updated this? When I played last night, my mouse speed has increased to the point where I'm finding it difficult to use the controls - it's like Blair Witch shaky cam :(

The tracker speed in settings is still at a low setting, I wish they would warn you first!

Thanks everyone - I finally found her! :)

As it was daytime, I tried the exit from the city near the market and found the fishery!

Now I just have to kill the boss in the cave... might have to level a bit first, he's impossible at the moment :o

Spoilers - Riften house help - spoilers!!!

I'm trying to buy the Riften house and apparently in order to get enough favour with the Jarl, I need to start by finding a woman with a skooma addiction in 'Riften Fisheries'. I can't find the fishery, it's not marked on the map and I've walked all round the city and quite a way around the lake ...

That was helpful, I think I was trying to summon too far away. Thanks :)

I have pinched the following from Toccatta on the Planet Elderscrolls forum, because it made me laugh and is very true:

Questions about spells & scrolls

Can anyone tell me how to use a scroll on the PC? Have been selecting them, but they don't seem to do anything. Do you have to 'equip' it? Do you need the amount of magika for the spell's level before they'll work?

On a similar note, I have learned 'summon fire aroch' but I can't figure out how to ...

I bought the dog, must admit, it was an accident, chose the wrong dialogue option, but decided to see how it went.

He's a bit annoying, doesn't stop barking - so don't know if you can sneak with him about - but he's taken loads of damage and doesn't seem to die, unless I accidentally hit him, then ...

I find fighting in general quite tough with this UI, as by the time I've got her facing the right way, the enemy's moved :o

Dragons do seem to slow things up too, I thought it was just me :)

The mouse controls where you are looking, so if you scroll 'up' with the mouse you should look up, though it takes a while.

I found that it helps to switch between 1st & 3rd person (the 'f' key if you're on the PC) depending on what you're doing.
