I chose a Knight class and my Etiquette skill has never improved despite
my talking politely to EVERYONE. So, how do I improve it? My other two
primary skills have gone really high but I am stuck at level 3.

Bugs found so far:
1) Crashes that reboots my system.
2) Crashes that the game catches that recommends I reboot.
3) Impossible quests of several varieties the most common being "Go to
Somewhere and talk to Someone in Someplace". When I get to Somewhere
no one knows of Someone (doesn't appear on the list of topics) nor do
they know of Someplace. I've hit this 4 or 5 times now.
4) Jumping through the walls bug.
5) In Daggerfall the guards suddenly are after me and I don't know why.
I haven't done a thing that's illegal. Grrr.
6) If you save in a guild and then restore there the people inside are
gone!
7) For one quest I searched the whole place but one underwater bit for
the Orc Warlord I was supposed to remove. As I stood on the edge
of the water contemplating what to do up popped the "You've defeated
him" message. Huh?
8) Crash where the text box turned pink and hung the system.

Geeze, that's just from 2 days of playing (maybe 8 or 10 hours) and I
know I hit 4 or 5 more.

Talking polite all the time should increase etiquette like you
say but if not there is someone who teaches it. Unfortunaly I don't
know where or who. I'd check some of the daggerfall internet pages
(not bethseda's but some on thier links page or use YAHOO and search
for daggerfall) One of those pages had a list of all the people who
teach and what the courses are.

Thought I had this problem too but double check your LOG and
you might find exactly where this person is. Also many buildings,
including shops taverns, etc.. have multiple floors and i've even
found a guild with a "back door" though it led no where. Keep looking
in the location it says and "TALK" to everyone, even the shop keepers,
they are often the person you are sent to find.

4) Jumping through the walls bug.

Had the exact same problem but it never said "DEFEATED" or
anything, tried to go thru the water but didn't have the
waterbreathing spell yet. As for you victory, you probably got close
enought to the enemy for him to come toward you. Right through the
water even. He most likely drowned trying to get to you (though i've
never seen npc's enter water, it's the only explanation i can think of
unless there was another monster around which killed him, i've seen
that happen.

according to the Bethesda AOL rep, Etiquette skill only improves
if you talk politely _in court_.

<improving ettiquette>
Supposedly if you talk to people using the pllite mode it will go up. The
patch is supposed to have fixed the problem of it not increasing
correctly.
