Skyrim logic, lol

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I finished that, and my complaint is:

Spoiler

So I sided with the Stormcloaks [Nord Pride!] as I wasn't going to side with the punks who were trying to kill me, but then, as I was slowly building my collection of guard shields to hang over the bed of each house I owned, I finish the quest line and now every guard is a Stormcloak and the cool red wolf shields of Solitude, the yellow of Whiterun, etc. are all gone. Now how am I supposed to decorate things...

That's why I went and

Spoiler

became Thane in all holds and bought all available houses(besides Windhelm), before doing the Civil War Quest. NPC's have a bad habit of glitching around, especially the Maraketh steward and all of Riften's court.

haha - so true.

The other day I was in some bandit fort and I killed two guys with arrows. The both fell (with one arrow in each of their heads) against a table and slumped on the floor.

Some Orc comes walking out and I run and hide around a corner. I listen to him for a while and finally he gives up with his "hmm, must have been imagining it", "must have been the wind".

Meanwhile, he's standing next to two dead bodies. He turns and leaves the room to go back upstairs.

One of my assassination targets in Dragon Reach is still slumped over in front the fire place. He's been like over month in game time. I know I'm a damn good stealth assassin but come on. lol

Pain to get rid of vampirism

Spoiler

you'd think after all that the ritual would be a little exciting or a little bit more then that!

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Any person who can do that quest without any help, or without lots and lots of trial and error, I salute them as a Holmesian intellect.

I did it rather easily. Most of the time there's just a person in front of you and all you have is a wabbajack. What else could possibly be done?

The only part that got me confused was

Spoiler

When you have to use the wabbajack to change those Atronachs. I didn't notice the people on the other side and the Atronachs were doing no damage. Took aim at the guy across the ring, mission success.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Unsure how you folks run out of things to do in this game, to me it's never ending but then again I am only at level 28.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I finished the main quest. I shouldn't have done that. It was a solid quest line but immediately after I didn't feel like playing anymore. I suppose it just gave me a good sense of completion. I was having fun just exploring and treasure hunting to decorate my homes but I kept reading about people finishing the game and I wanted to see it.

That was several days ago. The itch will come back but I am going wait until the CK is out and catch up on some other games before Mass Effect 3 in the meantime.

When I come back I'll make my Jon Snow character my main. I still haven't done many quests in Windhelm, and I haven't done the Companions, Civil War or Mages Guild lines, so there's still plenty for me to do later on.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Main quest I have stopped at the point of venturing

Spoiler

with the dragon we captured to meet Alduin.

Figure I would wait a bit and side quest it.

Yep.
I was going back and forth.....finally something just caught my eye....I was like....whoop....there it is.
That Wabberjack is crazy.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Yeah it's more unpredictable than the one in Oblivion, which really fits the character of Sheogorath.

I like how the Daedric quests start off of normal quests that you don't really expect.

Spoiler

Like finding that dog for the blacksmith in Falkreath, turns out to be a servant of Clavicus Vile. I was like, WTF is going on here.

Following the dog to the shrine involved a battle with a disrespectful Orc, killing a random thief on the road, which much to my happy surprise had Mai'q the Liar there (maybe there's more to this Khajiit than meets the eye, he's over 200 years old now), killing two bandits who tried to crush me with boulders, killing a Cave Bear, and then avenging a poor hunter who was killed by those damn Spriggans.

I then went to what I thought was the Hunters hide out, but upon going to that small camp, three bandits immediately started attacking out of the bushes.

What an adventure!

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So I raised pickpocketing to 100, just to mess around. Turns out characters that aren't followers on the 360 don't wear the armor/clothes you give them.

Sort of on topic - that happened with Red Dead Redemption for me. I kept playing and playing and playing - and finally beat it and then I couldn't play anymore... Then I tried to restart and it wasn't the same.

I'm going to get back into Skyrim after playing other games (Batman, Uncharted 3), and I definitely am going to enjoy lots of the side quests before getting too far in main quest...I run into that problem as well.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The Creation Kit looks like its a lot of fun to use if you got the time. I think I will download it and mess around when it comes out.
