I have a crossbowman companion (useful for things that run faster than I do), should I worry that he may one day run out of bolts?

In old version, yes.  In new version, idk, but likely yes.  Check his inventory.

Yea, he will eventually resort to clubbing things with his crossbow once his ammo runs out. No-one gets infinite ammo for their ranged weapons.

You may be able to gift him bolts though. I haven't really tried outfitting companions much yet, so I'm not entirely certain if he'll use them effectively or not.

Just remember once you gift something to a companion they will not give it back which is pretty dumb because you can trade for his pouch and he will drop everything you trade him that he cant wear so you can just pick it up.

You can still trade for it to get it back.

I usually just trade them valuable yet useless stuff such as cut gems when they have something I want. Normally stuff I wouldn't want back.

A knife in the back doesnt work?

Or wait until they get murdereded?

I understand, however that the point of trade is to prevent such absolute thinking.  I agree that this is like fallout 1 kind of bartering with companions.

How do I find those vampire cult things? I've seen some vampires being a priest of something or other, but nothing that remotely resembled a vampire cult.

So uh...

A militia commander sent me to "cause trouble" to "The Unseen Nightmares"
He also gave me the name of a site, "Urnsticks"

After much trouble, I found out that the site was far to the south, so I traveled there (also, dark pits are hell to navigate).

But it turns out that Urnsticks is currently ruled by a different, unrelated group, and the latest news of The Unseen Nightmares is that they captured a whole bunch of human towns to the NORTH of the place I got my quest from.

I'm confused. What am I supposed to do?

How exactly can I tell what civ or group somebody belongs to? There doesn't appear to be any conversation option for it.

The only way would be to go to the legends before creating an adventurer, create the xml and world picture file so you can use Legends Viewer on them.

Then when you encounter a NPC you want to know which faction he is from, you can launch Legends Viewer on the side, search for the NPC name and you'll have the faction name.

Very clunky but unfortunately it's the only way i see, as it's something rather important that is lacking from the ingame dialogues.

How does one go about finding entrances to sewers?

Unless something has changed since 34.11 (which is actually kinda possible) you go to the keep.  The sewers will be connected to the dungeon under the keep.  Its a HUGE maze down there, and kind of Daggerfally in some places.  You may want to know how to swim, also.

There may be an entrance along any rivers the town encompasses, but it may be grated or too long to swim.  Though I guess if breathing isn't an issue . . .

There may be a connection via the churches, or an entrance from the city streets, but they are usually grated over and we can't as of yet remove constructions.

Thank you. The first keep I searched under had nothing but empty rooms and some of the town's soldiers. I think this is the exception though, and not the rule.

What does "rumored killer" mean in this context? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

I would imagine that somebody spread rumors about him killing a member of that group/civ. and now they are suspicious of him or don't like him much now.
