I got the taxes from the mayor of Black Root, but by the time I got back to Denholm I had lost them. (chest of Gold)
I'm on level 11 & my previous save is level 5.
Is there a console command of save game editor I could use to get the Taxes back?

Thanks for that,
I started again from scratch, it was much quicker once you know the basics.
I finished the game last night with a level 48 character.

glad it worked out.

haven't played it in a while, but from what I remember, you're right ("much quicker once you know the basics")
