this somehow annoys me now. i took on the theif guild to get enough money for some house. i have not been caught one single time, have no bounty on my head and nothing stolen in my inventory, still yet i can not buy houses.

for example i have over 6500 gold. in buma there is a house for 5000 golds to sell. i go to the lord selling the house, all ok, i click buy house, she does bla bla, then i can only select two options both about me not having enough gold. WTF?!?! i have 6500 gold and she wants 5000 gold from me. why the f*** can i not buy? why is the talk option "i buy this stupid s***" not available? i've also done a quest already for her and she has over 80 like-me-points. i have not the slightest clue what i can do anymore to get this house.

OMG that must be annoying after all the saving. You tried to buy the shack, could be that she just hates you, or its a game error

We need to see if anyone else is having the same problemo

nope, for sure not hatrance. i have her talked up to over 85 like-me-points and i've made a big quest for her to obtain something she wanted like hell since ages, so i think she likes me a lot. the same problem happens in another city with a house worth 6000. also there it tells me all the time that i have not enough money.

somebody knows a bit the cheat options in the game ( press TAB and there comes the console, but you can't show all commands as the console is too narrow )? maybe i could try then setting my money to 0 and then back to what i had. maybe the game got stuck somewhere and this could fix it ( not the first time that i have to fix game bugs with the cheat options... pityfull )

now i'm sure this is a bug. somebody left a wrong multiplier in the code resulting in either the wrong number of gold beeing displayed to you or taken. for this you need the money cheat to check out. i'll list it for those who have the money but the bug prevents them from buying ( maybe only the german version ).

example. you want to buy a house for 8'000 gold. the lord tells you that you need 8'000 gold but if you have this or more it won't work to buy it. in fact you really need 20'000 gold ( question is if the 8'000 is wrong or the required 20'000 ). hence do this:

press ~ to bring up the developer console. then enter the following:

Quote::

player.additem 0000000f 12000

this will give you 12'000 gold, the amount of gold the game errornously tries to acquire from you. this way you pay the 8'000 gold ( if you have them ) but are not punished with the bug ( assuming 8'000 is the right value and 20'000 the bugged one ).

i have now my house. cheers.

EDIT: i assume the bug factor is the same for all houses, but did not test it. after this test you should multiply the house buy value shown to you by 2.5 and you should get what the game really wants from you.

additional informations.

i checked back with a couple of other players. it looks like the house-buy-bug only affects the german version of the game. most probably the translator fuked up the numerical values. don't ask me how he managed to pull that off.

hence retail english versions should be safe.

the house you refere to has a quest attached to it you need to sleep in it to see some ghosts or something..
also the house isnt for sale from the lord its only for sale from a guy in a bar in the harbor.

sorry, we don't talk of the same house. it's the house in cherrol. i payed 20k bucks and i got it, no quest, nothing. simply the price tag has been wrong as did correct the lang-patch i provided in my post above.

which city has this haunted house?

This is a bugger. Bethseda need to patch some of these quest/buying bugs.

i gt a wierd bug in my game were, only in the opening movie, i get glitches in sound, i changed my disc and still gt the bug

dragonlord
the haunted house is in anvil
quest name :where spirits lease
velwyn benirus is selling a manor house in anvil he can be found in a bar in the harbor front ...

I have the same problem as Meys. I have lousy sound and visuals at the introduction so much so that I do not have the patience to grind through it at all.

I THINK my computer reaches the standard (Athlon 64 3000+ 1 Meg Ram and (admittedly) a rather weedy graphic card (PNY Nvidia 6600 256 MB whichI over clock a bit (15% or so)), but the rest of the game is ok at 800 x 600, so long as I dont use the fancier shadows.

Any suggestions as to improving the intro anyone.
