Guilds
Info on Guilds, mainly regarding how to find them, how to join them, and quest help.
Where to Join / How to Join
Mages Guild: Mages can join in any town and begin gathering recommendations. Once all recommendations are earned one can enter the Arcane University in the Imperial City, home of enchanters and powerful trainers.
Fighters Guild: Although there is a chapter in each town there are only 3 locations where you can gain membership: Anvil, Chorrol, or Cheydinhal.
Thieves Guild: There are no chapters to find, but rather several alternative means of gaining admission. The simplest is to read the wanted posters of Gray Fox scattered around Imperial City, then talk to a peasant (use persuasion/bribes/charm) and ask about this notorious thief. Alternatively, get sent to jail.
The Arena: Easy, it's right there on the map, in the heart of Imperial City. Go down into the Bloodworks sometime between 9 AM and 9 PM and talk to Owyn.
Dark Brotherhood: You don't find them, they find you. Commit a murder, then go to sleep in a bed. In the night a member of the Brotherhood will come to you, offering membership.
Trainers
Low level trainers will train to level 40
Medium level trainers will train to level 70

Houses
Anvil- 5,000 Gold.
Located: Heading from the east gate, go east to the statue, turn south along the road and its the first building on your left.
*You must complete the quest "Where Spirits Have Lease".
Speak to Velwyn Benirus, found between noon and midnight at The Count's Arms. He'll offer to sell you his grandfather's rundown mansion, Benirus Manor, in the northeast part of Anvil. Some townspeople will have a rumor topic about the mansion that as they passed by the night before they heard someone scream from inside the manor, and that Velwyn Benirus will never be able to sell it.
If you agree to purchase the house from Velwyn, he gives you the keys and deed to the house, and promptly takes off for parts unknown. Go and inspect your new home and you'll find a mysterious "sealed portal" in the lowest part of the basement along the south wall. There is no way for you to open the portal at this time.
Go up to the manor's bedroom, click on the bed and choose to sleep. (one hour is enough) You'll awake under attack from three ghosts which you can dispatch with an enchanted weapon. You'll receive a journal update that confirms that the house is haunted and mentions that you've heard a crash from downstairs. In the parlor you'll find that a vase has fallen off of a cabinet and been smashed open on the floor. Underneath the broken vase is a skeletal hand and a diary page that tells of a secret room that only a Benirus can open. Reading the diary reveals that Velwyn's grandfather, Lorgren Benirus, was a grave robbing Necromancer. Add both the diary and hand to your inventory.
You realize that you need to find Velwyn to open that portal, so where did he go? Asking the townsfolk about his whereabouts will point you back to The Count's Arms. Inquiring after Velwyn there will the information that he's gone to the Imperial City. On arrival there you can learn from townfolk that Velwyn is staying at The King and Queen Tavern in the Elven Gardens District.
Find him there and he admits that he should have mentioned that the house was cursed and haunted. Choose the topics "Lorgren Benirus" and then "Lift the Curse" and he agrees to meet you back at The Count's Arms in Anvil and to help you take care of the curse. Meet him there and speak to him. He tells you to follow him to Benirus Manor.
Once inside yo'll lead the way to the basement portal and combat seven ghosts along the way, two on the ground floor and five more in the basement. You can take the lead and dispatch the ghosts before Velwyn comes to harm, or try to make a mad dash to the portal with him and then protect the rear while he opens the portal for you. Either way, once the portal is opened the ghosts disappear, along with Velwyn who hightails it out of there back to the Inn, leaving you to explore the secret room.
Its Lorgren Benirus' abandoned crypt/laboratory. With the skeletal hand in your inventory, activate the altar with the skeletal remains atop it. You'll hear a contrite speech from long-dead Lorgren regretting the errors of his evil ways and and the harm he's caused with his choices. He asks that you reunite his hand to his body so that his tormented spirit may at last rest in peace. Activate the skeleton to do so.
Lies, all lies. When you rejoin his hand to the rest of his skeleton Lorgren rises from the dead in the shape of a powerful Lich and begins his attack on you. Like the ghosts, you can kill him with an enchanted weapon. The best place to position yourself, before activating his skeleton, is on the far side of the alter. That's where his Lich form will materialize, and you can strike him quickly before he can begin summoning undead against you.
When the battle is won, loot the place. From his remains you can get Lorgren's Staff, a book called The Tome of Unlife, some gold and assorted gems and jewelry. When you leave the basement you'll find that the manor has changed. Its no longer in a state of disrepair, there's food on the table, and a cozy fire blazing in the hearth. Go to see Velwyn at The Count's Arms once again to finish the quest. After your chat he'll take off to return to The King and Queen Tavern in the Imperial City.

For Those Having Trouble With The Freezing Here Is The Answer
In the Daedric Shrine Quest for Clavicus Vile when you bring him Umbra the game will most likely freeze 5-10 seconds after you give him the sword or keep it. There are 2 known ways of preventing this.
1) Get Umbra before you talk to Clavicus or the Khajit in the robe in front of his shrine, then give it to him after you get it.
2) I havn't tried this by keeping the sword but I know it works when you give it to him. The second you give him the sword and can move around again go to your inventory. Fast travel to Skingrads East Gate. The millisecond you hear that dog start talking press B to go to your inventory again, and fast travel to skingrads west gate. If it doesn't work keep trying it, I got it on my second try and many other people have done it, it works trust me. The thing that triggers the freeze is Clavicus Vile's Dog's speech.

How to finish the Shrine of Molag Bal
Wait for Petilius to go to the grave of his wife, drop the Cursed Mace and initiate a fight. I know for the 360, at least, it's a good idea to save before you die because I've had some issues upon being "reincarnated"; namely my body not reappearing

OH NOES… A Grand Black Soul Gem! I will tell you how to get one if you haven’t been able to find it off of the loot of necromancers. First, find a Necromancer shrine (Dark Fissure; head east from the shrine across the Reed River and east of the “R” in the “River” you will find this place). Now, for Dark Fissure, you need to kill the little Necromancer who will endanger your chances of making a Black Soul Gem, go inside the cave (alternatively you could wait for him outside of the cave as the indicator as another indicator for when you can make the gem, just be sure to kill him before he spoils everything) and slaughter him. Now, wait outside and check each day for a pale beam of light shining on the shrine. When you see that light, place your grand soul gem (they’re offered for sale in nearly all the Mage’s Guilds, on the ground floor of the Arch-Mage tower… etc, etc.) in the shrine and cast soul trap on it. Voila, Grand Black Soul Gem. Now go back to Vaermina and offer it to her, at anytime.

FAQ - HelpI'll be adding FAQ as I see multiple people having the same problem/question.
Cure to Vampirism
The first step is to talk to Raminus Polus at the Arcane University, he usually
hangs out in the lobby so you don't worry if you are not a student at the mage
guild. When you speak to him ask about "Cure for Vampirism", unfortunately he
doesn't know of a cure but sends you to Castle Skingrad to speak with Count
Janus Hassildor. You can't speak directly to the count so talk to Hal-Liurz
first. Eventually you will be able to speak to the count, and he'll tell you a
story about how him and his wife are vampires but his wife didn't accept it so
he is searching for a cure for her. He will ask you to help him, when you
agree he tells you about a witch that knows more about the cure. He marks the
location on your map.
Follow the big red arrow on your compass / map to find the hut that Melisande
the witch lives at. When you talk to her, at first she plays dumb but
eventually she spills the beans and agrees to help you if you help her out with
something first. She wants you to get her five grand soul gems, your best bet
would be to buy them from the mages guild around the world if you are a member.
Also sometimes you can get them as treasure from dungeons. When you return
with the gems she gives you the next portion of the quest. You have to go and
collect the following ingredients for a potion:
6 cloves of garlic
You can find the garlic in peoples' houses in Skingrad
5 nightshade leaves
Can find Nightshade growing Southeast of Skingrad
2 shoots of blood grass
Blood Grass can be found in Oblivion or outside any of the Oblivion Gates
Blood of an Argonian, which when you speak to Melisande about
it she gives you a special dagger for the job. It can be any Argonian and also
you don't have to kill them just hit them once with the special dagger and that
should be enough to complete this part.
Finally you need to kill a powerful vampire named Hindaril for his ashes. When
you ask Melisande about it she marks the location of where to find him on your
map.
I've heard that if you turn in the items in the wrong order that it bugs your
game and you will have to reload a previous save if you want to complete the
quest. The order I turned in the items was blood grass, nightshade, garlic,
Argonian blood, and finally vampire ashes.
She gives you two potions, one for you to drink and one to give to Count
Hassildor's wife. After some waiting around and cut scenes you receive a 1000
gp reward for your hard work.

Clearing XBox 360 HDD Cache
If you experience any choppiness, slow loading, glitchy movement it could because your 360 is having problems caching some of the files/data from the game. Try clearing your cache, it will almost always make for better performence.
How To:
1. Shut off your 360.
2. Turn your 360 back on with Oblivion in the drive.
3. After the initial '360' title screen hold 'A' until the 'Oblivion' title screen appears.
