    There's one near the city where she first gave the task - north east, just on the river bed. Haven't found another 4 loads yet though - figure the haunted house quest might help if I can get the gold together.

    ah i just use my spells to unlock chests :p

    (also once you get the knack its not that hard to unlock stuff, watch the timing of the locks as they fall it gives you a clue as to when to click)

    It's not too hard really. Remember that you don't have a time limit, so you can take as long as you want to get it right.

    Move the mouse under the cylinder you want to unlock and then push it forwards, but don't click until you have the timing of the cylinder right. I've found that most of them go on either a 2 or 3 times pattern of fast fast slow in terms of how long the cylinder stays up before it drops, so you may have to hit a cylinder up 6 times before clicking.

    Lockpick skill goes up quite quickly too - once you reach apprenctice less cylinders drop, but the skill level is largely irrelevant, you can still do a very hard lock with hardly any skill if you're careful enough.

    I love raiding the forts :)

    I'm a level 12 knight and got killed by some goblin berserkers earlier outside of Chorrol :( how embarrasing. So I'm going to level up a bit more first.

    Don't start - it's okay having a free torch in the dark but it's a pain to remember to tell him to stop somewhere he won't be able to see you when breaking into places. And if I hadn't already qualified for the Assassin's guild - lets just say he wouldn't still be around

    It's pointless killing him, he just manages to crawl back from the dead a few days later :(

    can anyone help me with the Missing painting quest in Chorrol?

    I've got talked to all the ppl, found the unfinished painting, the paint on the rug in the food hall. I've searched both the mage and porters rooms. I'm pretty sure its the court mage, i've told her. but it says i need more proof.

    I didn't get any quest messgae when searching teh rooms or the north tower where the bloke gets drunk. what am i missing?

    remember seeing something on gamefaqs about someone having paint splatters on them? Something you see should trigger a message to accuse her - try some clothes, etc - there's another piece of evidence

    31 hours of play time so far. Just been trying to load some mods in, but the game seems to crash when any esp files are selected other than the main one.

    Is anybody who has this on the xbox360 having problems with slow-down, loadtimes, menu transitions etc? When I'm walking around the world map, I get really bad slow-down, framerate drops right off. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem?

    having read reviews all over the place, most of them did mention frame rate dropping in larger areas with more than 3 enemies on the 360, but it isn;t supprising really! :)

    Well, it is a bit. Having to release a patch for a CONSOLE machine?!?! I mean in all my years of console gaming this is the first time I've had such a hassle with any one game. It is amazing though (the game, not the problems)....

    I just ordered a new PC specifically for this game (and okay, it was getting on a bit). Can't wait till it arrives.

    My dual 19" TFT setup will be great.
