Have you played Mass Effect? Sorry if I've already asked that. :3
Good to know. I haven't played it today
Well, closing Oblivion Gates isn't actually part of the story. There are only like four Oblivion Gates that you actually have to close to complete any certain quest. Also, you don't necessarily have to close the Gate. Just go in, get however much Blood Grass you need, and then leave. Have you gone to the Imperial City to see if the Alchemical shops have Blood Grass? I'm completely sure one of them will have Garlic.
I know Blood Grass is in the Oblivion gates but I don't want to carry on with the story until I'm cured.
Ah, okay. You can get Grand Soul Gems at the Arcane University Orrery. They'll be in a little case to your kinda left when you come in. Garlic's easy to come by and Blood Grass I'm not sure about, but I'm sure you can buy it at one of the Alchemical shops in the Imperial City.
She wants empty grand soul gems, and after that some stuff like garlic and blood grass.
I forgot what you need for the Cure for Vampirism. You need Greater Soul Gems, right? You can pick those up out of cases in some of the Mages Guilds. Just fast travel all over the place and look in all of the cases. If you're over 50% Vampire, don't talk to anyone, because it's likely that their Disposition will drop to 0 or, if you're lucky, around 10. You may even be able to find a Greater Soul Gem with a soul already, but I'm not sure if that's what you'll need.
Nah, I've done too much stuff to redo it all. I'll just search harder for the ingredients. I'm not being evil or good, I'm just doing absolutely everything.
Nope, it's not random at all. Everytime a vampire attacks you, there's a 20% chance that you'll contract Porphyric Hemophilia. By itself, the disease does nothing. However, if you wait three days and sleep, you will become a vampire. If you go to a church or use an item or spell with the Heal Disease effect, you will be cured of the disease and will not be turned after sleeping on your third day after contraction. So if you've still got that save and really don't want to be a vampire, just go to a church first and then sleep. There are many innocent ways to get into the Dark Brotherhood. Are you playing with an evil character? Or, rather, an infamous character, I should say.
I don't think becoming a vampire is random. I saved before I slept and every time I reloaded it kept happening, even when I slept in different places. I would've just bothered not sleeping but I wanted to get into the Dark Brotherhood and do the Floated Bloat sidequest.
