Forsythe skip to bottom of page if you dont want to put up with my rant but I need an answer so dont leave yet!

OK here is my rant Im house Redoran so Im going to bitch about a quest from that house.I was asked to go to BFE to meet this stupid woman who is out to rid a whole building and a necromancer (sp)? in her underware well it might as well have been her underware for all the protection she was wearing.First off the bat she runs in front of me while Im shooting a bone lord with my bow (Bamb! she dies) ok here we go again we make it a little farther this time to another bone lord.ixna the bow and go for the sword(BTW I am a bosmer,wtf do I need a sword for???)well staying inbetween her and the BL( because if she gets hit its all over and another 20 minuts down the tubes) I am manageing to keep her alive,BUT all the time she is wacking me in the back of the head with that damn steel rod!
After several tries I have managed to get her and whats left of me and my armour up to the Necromancers tower.Thats when it hit me an ephinany! if I could get her out of the picture this whole quest would be twice as easy and that much more enjoyable.So looking through my spells( a bosmer with spells you ask? yes only to use in enchanting an item arrows to be exact although i havent tried it yet it is in my future to do so)
I find a perfect solution. The spell Paralize!
After glueing her in place and scrambling away to her cries of Hey where are you going? I manage to reach the tower to find a skeleton champion and the Necro himself. I go for the Necro first thinking if I take him out she will give me credit and then I can take out the skeleton at leasure after some fancy dancing he falls wasnt to hard,but by now she is unparalized and has managed to reach the skeleton so I have to kill him before it kills her standing there in all her glory(underwear and all)I run out of arrows(jeeese some kind of Bosmer huh!)So once again grab the big ass sword I have and start swinging it like a basball bat.Wellllllll some where in all that followed I must of kinda accendently hit her becuse she gives up on the skeleton and starts in on me!( HEY LADY WE ARE ON THE SAME SIDE REMEMBER YOU REQUESTED MY HELP!!!)Why she is all self righteous about me hitting her (once I might add) is beyond me, did she all ready forget the whole first half of the quest where she spent most of the time beating on the back of my head!!(jeeese women go figure?)ok onward ho! I manage to finish off skeleton and stay away from her.which now brings me to my question for (Forsythe) oh btw does the term Babysitting come to mind for this quest! also this quest required (no forced) me to play outside my role characture it was badly writtin!
********************************************************************
Forsythe I know you have played several times through, if you didnt read my rant up top my problem is this I left a characture(who is a Amourigger?) mad at me will this affect me in later quest for them?
and also is there any way to know the charge limit of a weapon before you buy it or enchant it?

Hmm.. well, unlike many seeming innocuous spells, Paralyse is interpreted as an offensive one; NPCs take that as an attack and return the courtesy.

As to how to do this, have you considered ignoring her and wiping out everything except the necromancer? (well, okay, taking a few pot-shots at him to tenderize him) I'd also reccomend that you not 'dispose of corpse'... they may repopulate when you re-enter. Then you can go get her, 'escort' her to the necro, take a few whacks at him, and be done with it.

As to the questions you posed, as long as she gave you a journal entry when the necro bit the dust, I think you're safe. And nope, there's no way to know the max enchantability of an item until you're at the enchant screen. (I assume that was your question, as you can see the current max charge on the buy screen, no?)

(Oh, and you might try using a few more paragraphs; they do increase readability, though I do understand how frustrated you must've been when you wrote that ;))

Edit: Hmm.. seems I was half right re: your described situation; you get one journal entry if he bites it while she's following you. If he's dead, you've no saves prior to that, and you don't have a journal entry that says "Daris Adram is dead.", you're screwed. If, somehow, you do have that journal entry then try using 'calm humanoid' on her and talking to her; she'll give you a second journal entry, and then you're home free.
