So I got the game, been playing quite a bit the past two days and it is awesome except that I'm finding it a bit hard to navigate, I've read that there's so much to do I just don't know how to do it. Having a real hard time locating gold.
I had my first fight in the arena and won, but I've no potions left to try the next fight and haven't got enough gold to buy any.
I killed someone out by the stables to join the Dark Brotherhood, did the first part of the quest where I've to kill Rufio but when I tried to get into the abandoned house I had no picks and didn't know where to get any, this lead to...
Me joining the Thieves Guild. It messed up a bit at first, when I was waiting around in the markets for the Dark Elf to bring me the note I noticed at the other end of an alley that there was a dark elf standing there that I could walk through :blink: when I exited and re-entered the area he was gone, but I didn't know I'd gotten the note somehow until I by chance checked my quest screen. Musta been a glitch. Then when I was waiting in the garden for Armand the same thing happened to him, he sort of froze and I could walk through him. Went away and came back the next night and all was well. Didn't manage to get the diary from the house, but I did steal it from the elf's house later on that night.
So now I'm going to go back to the Dark Brotherhood quests seeing as I can now buy picks, I'd like to do the Arena too but really need to get more gold.
