First, what is the point of daedric shrines? Apart from having various treasure and occasionally being the site of 'go get such and such item'/'save so and so kidnapped person'/'kill such and such baddie' quests. Can you do anything in them? Invoke the daedra or something? Or are they just ruins?
LOL funny story about saving this guy in a daedric shrine. It was for the imperial legion, so I go in, kill all the baddies, unlock the doors to this guy and I speak to him, expecting him to be all grateful and he goes, 'You're out of uniform. Speak to me when you're serious'.
Anyway...

will there be a time if I do everything right that I'll know what all those machines in the dwemer ruins are for? No spoilers please, don't actually want to know anything about them, just if I might in the future figure it out?
And about advancement. I've been doing various quests for House Hlaalu, specifically for the lady in Vivec. Only she doesn't do advancement. I've done about 4 for her which should be more than enough for advancement, and I've tried going and asking Curio (head guy in Vivec) who does do advancement but he says I don't have the qualifications, which, if he means skills, I do! Is there anyone else I can ask? I have a quest for the Hlaalu guy in Balmora which I haven't done yet (stupid thieving one

) so would he give me advancement?
