    In the Xbox 360 version, how do I pick a lock once I have a lockpick?
    Community Answer
    When you go to pick the lock, press up on the pin you want to pick. Then, when it's at the top, press the A button. Move to the next pin that's down and repeat until the lock is unlocked.

    Where can I buy Grand Soul Gems that are empty? I don't wanna be a vampire anymore!
    Community Answer
    You can buy them at most of the mages guilds throughout Cyrodiil, as well as a few in the Arcane University in display cases.

      Tips

      • Have a high acrobatic for Shady Sam because there are many rocks that get in the way.
        Thanks
      • Go to the arena or someplace where you can get lots of money so you can buy multitudes of lockpicks.
        Thanks
      • Have good weapons, potions, repair hammers as well as a high security level because the lockpicks will break, and you will run out of them fast if you have a low security level.
        Thanks
