A GAME! Let's play!
Here are the rules:
1. You give three clues, but the clues must be from the character POV. For example. At the end of the final main quest, martin turns into a large statue of akatosh, so one clue could be 'WOW! That's a big Dragon...'
2. The quests MUST be Beth official.
3. The person to get the answer correct first wins. The person giving the clues must 'Give them the cake"
' in order for the winner to have the next go.
4. Also, although this isn't a solid rule, try to explain the reason for your guesses.
5. You must name the quest!
LETS BEGIN! Very easy, just to warm everyone up.

1. Who hides in a basement?
2. Nice name for an inn :/
3. Shouldn't you be in Morrowind?

OOOH oooh I know this one! HOld on....
... okay my answer is Rufio!!!

Rufio is the man who hides in the basement of the Inn of Ill Omen.

Umm... I have no idea about the Morrowind bit, but that's my answer:
Rufio.

WOO!! Correct!
1. Who hides in a basement? - Obviously referring to Rufio 'hiding place'
2. nice name for an inn :/ - Speaks for itself!
3. Shouldn't you be in Morrowind? - a hit-and-miss reference to the morag Tong Assasin that appears there after a certain Daedric quest.

Ohhh yeah, I gots some cake!

Very good. Did you bake this one yourself?

Guess it's my turn. Hmm.. ... I'll throw a softball here. Nothing too difficult.
1). I found this strange item on my travels.
2). Sold it, and was later told I could have doubled my money.
3). Apparently there are several more to find? .. Guess I'll get to work then.

I guess on the Ayleid statues because they are strange and if you sold it to Umbacano you could have gotten more Septims

It's okay, mirocu got it. As soon as he said Umbacano, I was ready to cut the cake.

There ya go, Crow. Crows do eat cake, I've seen 'em do this.
Maybe there oughtta be a rule that the name of the quest should be given, just to clarify further? .... Like the answer to the first question would be Rufio / A Knife in the Dark. Up to the person asking the question, I guess.
Anyways, you're up, mirocu. Soon as you're done nomming.

-Whaff? Oh, a question, yes...

I like the idea of naming the quest but sometimes you know what quest it is but can´t remember its name (like me just now) so I say either way is fine with me

1.) I met a kind man
2.) He feels safe when he sees me
3.) The only one allowing me to stay inside his place after dark

I think it shoudl be up to the person asking the question. And I think you should go ahead and look it up CT, if you have some idea of that the answer is. Even if it is cheating, we're all having fun here. It's not like there's a grand prize to Bermuda or something for getting the answer right, our only prize is
That being said, I have no idea what the answer to mirocu's question is. Go ahead and give it a shot, CT?

1. The kind man is Norbert Lelles.
2. He feels safe around the Fighter who helped him.
3. The Fighter spent the night in Lelles shop to intercept the bad guys.
The quest is: An Unfortunate Shopkeeper (part of the FG quest line).

Callidus Thorn
Apr 9 2014, 08:24 AM
Would the quest be Blood of the Divines?
Only long lost relic I can think of right now...
I'd suspect it to be Azura's quest from 2 and 3, but Azura's Star isn't a long lost relic, having been in Morrowind...

And the Azura quest is what I thought of

I thought of it as a long lost relic since it was in Morrowind and maybe the previous games too. Maybe it´s not an actual relic but that´s the best word I could come up with atm

Apr 9 2014, 11:14 AM
Ooh! Cake!

*OM NOM NOM NOM NOM*
Anyway, the question...
1) What do stormclouds have to do with anything?
2) Didn't I leave you behind?
3) You'll not find a more lethal blade
I feel I should mention that question 2 is very much specific to Tarvyn Dralor.

3 makes me think Mehrunes Razor... If you are relating it to your character then 2 could refer to the telvanni mage???? 1 isn't clear to me, but I haven't done that quest in ages...
Callidus Thorn
Apr 9 2014, 02:06 PM
*checks rules of thread*
I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you for a quest name, as per rule 5 before I can really say anything.
Actually, scratch that. Technically you've named the DLC, so I'm gonna say that counts.
1) What do stormclouds have to do with anything?Referencing the question you're asked, and must supply the password to
2) Didn't I leave you behind?Tarvyn was a member of both House Telvanni and the Morag Tong, and both groups are represented.
3) You'll not find a more lethal bladeAnd this is, of course, a reference to Mehrunes Razor.
Funnily enough it's a weapon I'd never risk letting my characters use, for fear of spell reflection.
Well, you got it right, so here's your cake

Your turn
Acadian
Apr 9 2014, 02:41 PM
CT, that was a good one! I never would have guessed it without the insightful logic of Vital - after he posted, it made perfect sense.
And the thing is, Buffy's done that quest two or three times. We do the quest, deactivate the DLC, reactivate the DLC and can come back later to do it all over again.

They're an hallucination caused by drinking Hist Sap
3)You've seen this town on better days
Tricky, you wake up in Chorrol before returning to Water's Edge, and it could mean either of those.
The quest is called "Infiltration".

Correct!
You got 1 and 2 spot on and 3 could've meant a few things. I was referring to the fact that you go to water's edge for the FG in the Amelion's debt quest earlier on. Maybe that was unclear as the last clue..
Anyway, here's your cake

2) Tidewater cave. Iirc half of that place is flooded
3) Umm, it's down by Leyawiin, one of the places M'aiq turns up? I'm not really sure on this one.
I believe the quest is Nocturnal?

The trolls in Tidewater Cave are Kalperklan trolls, and they all carry Calipers, for no apparent reason.

Right, my turn, again...
1) I don't think I'll write this in my journal
2) A treasure hunt? In these temperatures?!?
3) This is all powerful?
I'm pretty sure I'm stretching the rules with this one, and being evil to boot, but I think it's still guessable...
Acadian
Apr 10 2014, 09:03 PM
1. Ahah, a non-journal quest.
2. And one that takes place where it’s cold - likely in the lands of Lothran.
3. All powerful = omnipotent. Indeed, Circle of Omnipotence is a less than impressive reward.
This sounds like The Forgotten Chests of Pale Pass.

Thanks, CT. Heh, I knew that mirocu would also know that one. I think Lothran collects the teeth of Pale Pass Ogres!
Okay, here goes -
1. I’m supposed to liven things up down here?
2. If I get caught, the guards'll arrest me for sure!
3. I’m an archer. What the heck do I want with another stupid staff? Although it does have sort of a pretty name.
Edit: Beefed up the clues because I realized it could have been mistaken for a quest other than the one I intended.
ghastley
Apr 10 2014, 10:13 PM
I'm going to go for the cheese, instead of the cake.
The quest it isn't is Sheogorath's
1) You're not livening things up in Border Watch - dead sheep, rats and dogs.
2) There aren't any guards in Border Watch unless you count the villagers.
3) Wabbajack doesn't have a pretty name.
I'll leave the real answer for someone else.
