The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
How can I get this guy to talk?
1 of 7: First, tell him to sit down.
2 of 7: Then talk to him again and see if you get any conversation topics.
3 of 7: If you don't, you'll have to either punch him a bit or get his disposition up to 70 somehow. (When you do, you'll get a journal entry.)
4 of 7: He'll then tell you that the Blackwood Company is over 100 strong, but that's all he'll say.
5 of 7: Punch him some more or get his disposition up to 90 so you can find out who the current company leader is.
6 of 7: When you ask him what the secret to their strength is this time, he'll commit suicide rather than tell you.
7 of 7: NOTE: You can search his body to find the special ring that allowed him to commit a quick and fiery suicide. Don't put it on!
