I was doing both the Melee and Dodge quests, and when I killed Garrick, I forgot to take his eyes. When I went back to Adkin I gave him the potion and told him of Druella. He went to see her but I didn't become Dodge master. Can I do anything beside cheat to become one?
You can't not take them. They just show up in your inventory. You have to ask him to train you, though. He won't do it otherwise. Spoiler But since he's gone, there is another solution. He can be found in Roseborough, in a cottage to the southeast.
It's easy to break this series of quests, because they have several different solutions. The "best" path that I usually follow is this: 1. Agree to do everything Sir Garrick asks you to do. 2. Find Lady Druella and agree to backstab Sir Garrick once he has trained you. 3. Bring Druella back to Dernholm, get the master Melee training, kill Garrick. Take the blindness cure and tell Druella that you'll bring it to Adkin. 4. Now's the time to go to Stillwater. Give the potion to Adkin and tell him the whole story. He will gladly make you a master of Dodge. The eyes appear in Sir Garrick's inventory only if you have promised Adkin to bring them to him. Personally, I think this is considered an evil/wicked solution to this quest.
I guess they didn't show up in my inventory because its always almost full with molotovs and healing salves. And I didn't save close to the fight. I'll try to see Adkin in Roseborough though.
A VERY useful tip: SAVE, SAVE, SAVE, like a maniac!!! You don't know how many times I screwed up things for not saving, like when I killed a guy in Ashbury and all the guards in the city wanted to kill me If you can't remember to save, grab a piece of paper, and write SAVE THE GAME in huge letters, you'll never forget anymore, worked with me
If your inventory is full, this is not the case. I vaguely remember it never showing up. But this might be wrong, it may have dropped onto the floor before someone picking it up; "Oh look, a pair of gouged out eyes, I shall pick it up and put it next to my Baneful Gauntlets, it could be useful."
