The first faction that I joined was the Dark Brotherhood. When I was given the option of killing the three people in the abandoned shack I just killed one of them then went to the DB sanctuary and got on with the quests. After completing the DB, TG, MQ and COW I am now half way through the Imperial Quests. However, when I popped into the abandoned shack I found the two people that I didn't kill still kneeling there, bound and gagged. According to my journal, over 200 days have passed since I last saw them. How are they still alive? Has someone been popping in from time to time and feeding them? Is there a quest I could do that lets them go home? I feel guilty leaving them there in that horrible shack.
I suppose that's just an oversight, and they were meant to be removed. I don't think there's anything you can do to help them, besides ending their misery.
Another question. My favourite moment so far has to be the first time I went into the place that has all the crimson ninroots, all the blue mushroom things looked great and the music was fantastic, like something out of a Ridley Scott movie! However, how did Sinderon from Skingrad manage to get there? I thought Skyrim was set 200 years after Oblivion? Is he supposed to have travelled here 200 years ago and we now discover his journal etc Or has he just died now and has lived here for the past 200 years?
If you read his field journal, it's set at 4E58, meaning it was only 58 years after Oblivion. Also, he's an Altmer, and Altmer can easily live well over 200 years.
If I am wearing a robe that gives me 100% magic recharge and also a ring that gives me 40% magic recharge, then do I really have 140% magic recharge or is it only 100%?
It's 140%
Lastly, I hope an update or DLC in the near future lets you change your wifes clothes. And why would people not want to be a werewolf? I have four witches heads and could remove the curse but I like the fact that the beast blood means I have 100% disease resistance. I don't mind not getting the well rested bonus from sleeping due to the beast blood.
You can change your spouses clothes. Or rather, I've always had my spouse equip whatever armor they like best that I give them, though maybe you mean take their clothes off entirely or replace them with something more simple.
As far as being a werewolf, I'd say it's either because they want to be a vampire instead, or simply for roleplay reasons, and that they, like Kodlak, want to get into Sovngarde when they die.
Very lastly, I have the key to the guildmasters chest in the TG, do the tributes keep adding up and I can get them whenvever, or do they reset back to a certain amount over a certain period of time? I keep forgetting to go and collect.
This, I do not know, as I never deal with it whatsoever, but I'd be willing to bet that it does not increase over time.
