The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Quest Hints (PS3)

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a fantasy-based role-playing adventure game and an example of open-ended or sandbox gameplay. The main quest may be delayed or completely ignored as the player explores a game world consisting of approximately 16 square miles of terrain, following side quests, interacting with NPCs and developing a character according to their taste. The player is free to go anywhere in the land of Cyrodiil at any time, while playing the game with no penalty and even after completing the main quest storyline the game never ends. Oblivion allows the players to build their character in whatever way they want, with no restrictions on skills or equipment. The game contains many enemies for the player to fight, including monsters, demons and animals. Many enemies, quests and treasures are leveled, or become increasingly difficult, as the player gains levels. The player, however, has the option of adjusting the difficulty level.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Vampire quest

When you are in Bruma, the house on the right behind the temple (coming from the east gate) will have a guard in front of it. The guard will tell you that someone has been murdered. Later when you go in, there will be a woman and two guards. One of the guards will allow you to have a dialog menu, so you can choose a response. You may have to bribe the guard to let you conduct your own investigation. After you talk to the woman, she tells you that her husband was murdered by a vampire hunter (though she does not think he was a vampire). She tells you to find out more by locating the vampire hunter.

To find out where he is, you can just talk to innkeepers, but he will always be in the Sac And Tap to the left of the east gate. Do not bribe the owner of the Sac And Tap because he will never tell you where he is. To get him to give you the key to the vampire hunter's room, get the spell in the basement of the widow's house. There is a charm spell. Use it on the Sac And Tap owner and he will happily give you the key. When you go into his room in the back, there is a book behind a table. Take the book to the guard you talked to at the widow's house. He will then tell you to meet him outside the Sac And Tap. When you do this, he will tell you that the vampire hunter has made a break for a cave beyond the town.

You may find three guards in the fields killing each other. If you see this happening, you may want to wait it out and take their armor. There also may be one or two bandits on the way that are relatively easy to defeat. You will need a very high Acrobatic or Agility skill for the next part. Immediately after you see the vampire hunter stepping out of the side cave, shoot a fireball or snowball at him, then run out of the cave. He should follow you. Keep running all the way back to Bruma.

If you go in, he will follow and the guards will not hesitate to take him out. It is easier to get away from the vampire hunter if you jump as much as you can and quickly run in a zig-zag pattern. It will also be helpful if you cast healing or protecting spells on yourself during the sprint back to Bruma. If done correctly, you can finish the mission with very little skill or strength.

The Purification quest

On the "The Purification" quest for the Dark Brotherhood, use the following trick to easily kill some of the members in the sanctuary such as Ocheeva and Vincent. First, get your Disposition with them as high as possible, then sneak attack them with a dagger. Before they have a time to retaliate, propose a yield. You can attack and yield repeatedly until they are killed.

When you are ordered to "purify" the Cheydinhal Sanctuary, you should wait until one of the "family members" goes to sleep, then sneak attack them to get an added attack bonus. Then, ask them to yield. Keep doing this until one character rejects your yield, then run out of the sleeping quarters and out of the door to the abandoned house. Do no take the well or they will not follow. Then, run out into the street. Keep running and the guards will then run over and kill the person who is chasing you. Note: Do this with all the characters in the Cheydinhal Sanctuary.

To kill Vicente easily, get a lot of garlic. Pick pocket him, and shove all the garlic into his pocket. This will work best if you have high magic, preferably with fire spells.

Taking Care Of Lex quest: Different weapons
While doing the "Taking Care Of Lex" quest for the Thieves Guild, you must scald the paper with Lex's seal. Just beside the desk where the seal is, you will see a chest. If you come in through the door directly behind the chest, you will get an Elven longsword, Glass longsword, Orcish helmet, and a Mythril sheild. If you come in from the door upstairs, you will get an Elven longsword and Dwarven greaves. If you come in through the exact entrance, you cannot open the chest.
