Poor Bubba, the crime and punishment system makes it pretty difficult to make a go of thieving.
Haa-Rei finished up in the Alik'r desert, and has moved to Bangkorai. It's half in Hammerfell and half in High Rock so we can travel from desert to countryside pretty easily. Levelling up is still proving difficult, and he's encountering more things he's not tough enough to complete. Lots of them seem to be geared towards groups.
I hate hate hate hate hate it when games essentially block things off for solo players. Haa-Rei is missing out on exploring a huge Dwemer ruin and getting a Dwemer Spider pet just because he doesn't have friends to play with? Ridiculous.
Not everything is rage inducingly frustrating though, as Haa-Rei found the style guides for Barbaric items and Dwemer chest armor. Apparently all the Dwemer pieces require their own separate book instead of a single race armor book. Probably trying to encourage people to fork out for the Dwemer guide in the crown store (which costs around £30!)
The group dungeons are set at the level of the group's leader, so set the leader as the lowest ranked member of the group.
I have seen vids of people doing group only dungeons solo (as a group of one) - like "Fungal Grotto," which is a "Group 4 Minimum" dungeon. But they let a solo in, and he got through. Have you tried to enter and actually been blocked? Is there a quest related to entering the dungeon?
If Haa Rei can wait a bit and doesn't mind having a thief as a friend, Bubba is in High Rock and has reached level 10. He can't handle a veteran dungeon; but can take one a few levels above him.
Bubba had to rescue a platoon from werewolves last night; and got badly mauled enough times that he was worried about whether or not he would find himself growing fur and fangs!
So I spent quite a few hours this morning pouring over every article I could find to make sure Bubba hadn't caught anything urghy. From what I've read, he is safe.
From what I've read; at a much higher level (like 32) and after being attacked by a rare type of werewolf - the Player is "invited" to a ceremony in Hircine's realm; where if they seek his gift they must bring one to him (like Darkness Eternal's Vera had to do in his story).
Hircine doesn't want a puny gift, you go out hunting in his woods and get attacked by plenty of regular sized creatures; but that would just anger Hircine if you brought it as an "offering."
There are three major creatures you can kill that will please Hircine; one of them is a troll. I think one is a mammoth, and I don't know what the third is. The vid I saw showed the troll.
When you have killed the beast, you have to howl for Hircine's pack to come share in the feeding. If the kill is worthy, they will come and feed with you on the carcass and that pleases Hircine. You are accepted by his followers, and become one of his pack.
There is some easy way to keep from becoming a werewolf, I'm studying it and Bubba is going to take that cure just in case - because I find it hard to believe that only one certain rare breed of werewolf can pass on the taint, I think it would be all werewolves - so Bubba is going to treat his injuries with extreme caution and precautions.
