No rest for the wicked (spoilers)

So from what I'm hearing, if you once become a Vampire, and cure it either by doing the Vampirism Cure quest or using purgeblood salts, and are using a console instead of PC, there is NO WAY you can become a Vampire again, correct? I'm starting a new Dark ...

Feel free to kill this thread, it's mainly a question I have regarding information I have about Umbra's sword and the sword itself. In the ObliviWiki, it says that Umbra is weightless, and I do remember that the sword was indeed weightless when I got it. But later on, it suddenly begame its full ...

Why don't you stack feather spells and potions? Can potentially double your carrying capacity. Of course, you need to be able to craft spells to fully reap the benefits.

I just started doing that. I've created spells to boost my strength and feather at the same time, and they usually work pretty ...

Difference of Shield and Reistence

What is the difference if I have an item that does, say Fire Shield, rather than an item that does Fire Resistance?

Light Armor

I'm bouncing back and forth right now with the light armor situation. Right now I've got a couple different sets of enchanted glass armor; some culled from victims, some enchanted by myself. I've still got the DB Shrouded Armor but it's be coming quickly obsolete. At the higher levels ...

Speechcraft

I agree I dislike the minigame intensely. 7 out of 10 times I give up and bribe them. Illusion would be one of my skills anyway; I'll heed that advice it's quite sound. Thanks!

Hand to Hand

I have two characters running on the XBox: one is a marksman/blade/destruction thief/assassin/vampire, and yes QUITE evil and terribly effective. The other is the closest Paladin approximation I could concoct: blunt weapons only, never fired a bow, use some destruction in a pinch but ...

Favorite Quest

I would also like to know how to activate the Knights of the Thorn quest if there is one, if anyone knows please enlighten. I have the GOTY version of the guidebook and I can find nothing about it in there.
Anyhoo, my favorite quest turned out to be the Thieve's Guild quest (forget ...

If you want to make easy money, you can do one of two things: Take alchemy as a major skill, or don't. Either way, get yourself the full gamut of alchemical equipment. Pick every flower and mushroom you come across. Spend five minutes between quests and mix potions: good potions, crappy potions, it ...

I've had it with my horse. I'm NOT a big fan of horses, however, after purging the Brotherhood, Lucien gave me his Shadowmare horse, which I rode around a bit, even though my character can run a lot faster. However, whenever I fast-traveled to a wilderness location, there he was with me. I lost him ...

Bloodgrass

The girl that works at the Lustratorium in the Arcane University usually has bloodgrass. For the Vampire cure you need 2 shoots; I had to reload a save numerous times for her to have at least that in her inventory. I also got some from the Main Ingredient in the Imp. City Market ...

Best Light Armor (SPOILER ALERT!)

I've found that the best light armor in the game so far is the Shrouded Armor that you get as soon as you join the Dark Brotherhood. It fortifies your Sneak, Illusion, Marksman, Blade, and Acrobatics by 8, and has a DR of 11 at 100% repair. You get it just for ...
