The Lost Painting
Investigation
This quest is a side quest.It is unlocked when you have as main mission to close all the Oblivion gates to recruit soldiers from all over the map to help Bruma against a hige assault.
First go talk to the countess and ask for help for Bruma.Then go close the Oblivion gates and come back to her and ask her about the lost painting>investigation.Say you will help her.
Now,the trick is to find cluse.Bribe all the 3-4 people in the castle foer them to give you clues.Talk also to the guards and ask for cluse,they will help.Simply everyone,you ask them for cluse.If they say no,then you bribe them with money and make the little talk thing so they will like you more.
Once you have enough clues a screen will pop up and tell you so.Now you have to make a little search... :
1.Go to the west tower and go down the trap door on your left.Look at the painting and press space on it.Well done,you have found the first clue.
2.Go to the left wing of the castle and into the room of the lady(forgot her name lol) the dark-skined lady.On the table in the middle of the wall there os a weird folder.Look at it and press space.That was the 2nd clue.
3.Niow to to the ground floor.Face the countess and turn left to the dining room.Walk around the table looking on the floor until you find paint.Press space.That was the 3d and the last clue.
So now...who do you think is the jackass who stole the painting?Thats right,its the woman in who's room you found the weird folder!Now accuse her and she will say "Your clues are sexy but I wont admit it was me".Rolf f**k that,bribe her like hell and do the talk game thing so that she likes/trusts you more.Once she admited to the crime go talk to the countess and accuse the woman.Well done you done it!
Now the funny part,if you ask her to buy a house she says "Sorry I don't trust you enough for that".WTF?You just helped her out in a way nobody else would have done!Anyway...QUEST CLEARED!
