All right, two problems that make the temple appear more like a place to vent anger and slaughter rather than joyfully go up in the ranks.
I have approached Brother Raze once early in the act, and now, again, that I accidentally got the temple relic before his quest, which I read about from this board. Neither time did he even give the possibility of a quest, and I'm rather annoyed at the badly-voice-acted-[nocando]. I have the charming relic, and I soon shall use it on him in a rather uncomfortable fashion if he does not take the damn thing voluntarily ^^ any theories as to the stubborn [nocando]'s antics would be appreciated.
Also, when trying to purchase my house now, after some time spent in the temple area, instead of the straight-forward 5000 offered when I first entered the area, a new possibility to haggle appears, and I get him to 2500, and he blabs something about 2000 for him, 500 for the temple. However there is one crucial thing missing from the transaction: the friggan key. He 'neglects' to give me a key to the house, which I assume is the locked one next to the prison. Need some theories here, since I am now sufficiently annoyed and confused at this [nocando]-backwards Act constantly reversing itself. I think maybe 2 quests in this act so far have been solved the correct way. I actually feel like the divine hero, because I seem to have already done the damn quests as soon as I'm asked like some omnipotent god.
Anyway, sorry, I'd appreciate any help ^^ thanks much
