The elder scrolls IV: Oblivion?

Question

Two questions...
the first is simple. This seems like a pretty noobish question, but i truely and utterly cannot figure out how to soultrap things. I have a minor soul trap spell, and i just dont know how to use it.

The next is more complex, and I am so confused. I just got to the part where you have to go and ask all of the mayors of the towns for help at...um...the one with the fortress above it (havent played in a while). Anyway, I went to one of the towns and and i had to close the gate outside of it. I went in, and it is like a big circle with the tower in the middle. I have no idea how to get out of that circle. I think its funny, I walked into there, no I cannot figure out how to get in or out (and I saved like an idiot once i got in there). Well, Id be suprised if anyone could answer this question without my knowledge of the town names. Oh well, worth a shot.

Answer 1

well to soul trap a creature, you must use your soul trap spell, and kill it while the spell is still in effect. also, you must have an empty soul gem that is of high enough quality to contain that particular creature's soul.

*you can't soul trap people without a rare black soul gem, so just try it on monsters

for the oblivion gate you are in, try going to the menu and checking your map. any doors or portals on the map should show up as distinct little squares.

Answer 2

For the soul trap, you have to be close to the enemy since it is minor and you have to kill them quickly. You only have a certain amount of time to kill them and absorb the soul.

The game is glitchy at times. If it is what it sounds like you probably got your foot stuck and have to load your quick save, unless you are smart and had another save.

Answer 3
