Uh, anybody have any luck locating another cup in the editor? I'm playing the Xbox version, so I don't really have the option.

[frostwolf ex]

Doh. Nope, it's not there. I really hope there's another one out there somewhere.

Two 'i's in Cyrodiil, btw. I'd hate to have those ElderScrolls.com people think you weren't serious or something.

i hate to break this to you, but im pretty sure there is only one, i have been collecting cups for my household, and there is only one in my house(they dont keep it). I am finding it hard to belive that a unique item just vanished, most rares and uniques i have sold stayed at the merchents, so make sure you havent just overlooked the merchent, im not saying it cant happen and you are screwed(but im really hoping that is not the case), but i have never seen it happen. How many merchents did you use? i tended to stay with just a few, but hot everymerchent that you have, not saying it cant happen, but you put a lot of work in your guy, and i dont want to see it get screwed over.

oh and they already kwow i am not serious because i never played daggerfall and arena(i dl'd it from the main site but havent had time to play) so im just Noobie McNooberson on that site, they mock me and pelt me with fishysticks

- that's me banging my head on my keyboard. I sold the cup some time last year, and I tend to sell stuff all over. I guess my next mission is to go through just about every merchant on Vvardenfell and see if they have it. Fuck.

One reason I think there may have been more than one is that when Sul gave me the mission he asked for "one of those house Dagoth cups I know they have over there." I could have sworn I had multiple cups, but I may just be confused with the amulets.

Checked the editor and couldn't find any reference to '6th house cup,' but just about every object connected to the 6th house except for those ash statues seem to have only one instance in the game, so there probably is only one of them. I'll double check when I get home since I didn't really have much time to check the editor.

If you want to do things the alternate way, killing Vivec isn't too hard since the only difficult thing about him is his punches do insane damage. Basically, anyone with constant levitation can beat him, especially if you bring lots of magic arrows. Your far enough in that it wouldn't really be a shortcut.

Actually, if you could, I'd love to hear about what's going on with the dwarves. I don't have my Xbox anymore, so I'm not likely to play the game again, and I'm pretty curious..especially after some of the ruins I found.

They tried to make a god and the entire race dissapeared.

You don't need levitation. Just a couple rings with constant effect restore health and one item with constant effect restore fatigue. Having a good magic resistance helps too, cause that spell he casts is nasty. If you dodge the first couple blasts and close in hand to hand he switches to punches though, so it's not that big of a deal.

Well, so far plotwise I don't really have much reason to kill him. I may just start over - it didn't make much sense in terms of my character to go through Bloodmoon, aside from just doing it for the heck of it, so I started up a nord crusader a couple of days ago for that specific purpose.

I've got him in the Imperial Legion and the Imperial Cult; when I'm strong enough I'll head to Solstheim in search of Hrothmund's amulet in an attempt to cure my severe social defencies (going from playing a bard to a crusader puts a major crimp in just about everything except fighting). I'm suprised at how fun the Legion quests are so far - I figured it'd just be a themed fighters guild. I also like the way they set up the cult with three different career paths. It almost makes me want to play as a healer. But how weird is it that the first shrine sergeant quest requires you to break into a guy's house to steal a bowl back? I couldn't figure out a way to do it that didn't get me reported for comitting a crime (aside from just not letting anyone see me, which is what I ended up doing).

And does anyone remember bumping into a woman north of Gnisis near Ald Velothi who dropped her ring in a pool? I've scoured every inch of that pool, and I can't find it for the life of me.

[AaronChance]

Ha, the last quest I attempted was that stupid ring one, and I could not find it at all. I think it's some kind of trick or something, that if the ring exists at all, it's someplace else. All this talk is tempting me to fire it up again, especially since I built my current character around easily leveling, though that meant having next to no magic powers.

[StriderKyo]

I'm kind of enjoying being a wuss again. The game's sense of scale gets thrown out of wack when you can fly anywhere at warp speed and return to the safety of your bed at will. Marching from Hla Oad to Gnaar Mok, running from bandits in the woods and barely surviving the whole experience puts alot of the romance back into the game, if that makes any sense, and restores alot of the game's grandeur.

[AaronChance]

Very true. I had just finished a quest that took me all the way up to the northern edge of Morrowind for the House Rendoran, and the person tells me basically to talk to the person to gave me the quest in the first place to collect my fee. So I'm like 'okay, all I need to do is recall... wait, don't have that spell... use divine amulet... don't have that either... damn, you mean I've got to walk?!'

But the odd thing is that I like walking in the game, but I'll only do it when I've forced to. Probably why I've started over for the seventh time now, having only really done a bulk of the game during my first playthrough. Once you can do pretty much anything, there isn't much point in actually doing it.

[StriderKyo]

Heh, yeah, it kind of felt like I was spoiling them doing most of those quests once I got a daedric claymore with strength & long blade of 100, because I could basically decapitate anything on Vvardenfell that stumbled across my path. Better to just start up a new character tailor made to go through a faction's quests, and ignore the blades altogether. That's the beauty of the game's non-linearity.
