Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
Should I go take Appleby's quest?
1 of 5: Probably not, unless you're feeling really evil, and you feel like tangling with the guards in Bates' mansion.
2 of 5: It's really a bad idea to do this quest -- it'll make the story a lot less interesting, and it will make it more difficult to advance the plot. Plus your reputation will plunge, not that that's always a bad thing.
3 of 5: If you are dead set on doing it, just go to the graveyard, and go down through the locked mausoleum.
4 of 5: Explore the tunnels underneath, and you'll eventually come up in a room with a bunch of containers.
5 of 5: Have you and all your companions wear the servants' clothes, and then search around. You'll want to look in Bates' bedroom. If he catches you, you'll have to kill him, which will net you a fate point, but will screw up the game as mentioned above.
