Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Is it possible to do that quest earlier?

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Going through Oblivion again....has brought a question to me.

I went to the Arena and became Champion.
My last fight was to fight the Grand Champion...he gave me a quest first and I completed it for him and went back to him

Spoiler

Now.....I found his fathers journal and brought it back. He was so upset by it's contents that he wouldn't fight me in the Arena and wanted me to slay him. A message popped up about an unseen force seeing my slaying. Should I have let him live?(can you even.....just walk away?)

Thanks..

If I'm remembering right, that's just the way it ends. Since you did his quest he no longer wants to live and you don't have to fight him to become the Champion. I don't think you can walk away. That message about the being "observed by the unseen force" happens the first time you kill somebody that is not hostile toward you. It is the beginning of joining the Dark Brotherhood. Rest and you'll start that quest line.

Yes....I remember that now from my play through last time.
I didn't do the Arena last time though, so it must have been when I killed someone during a quest(by accident maybe)

You don't have to do the Dark Brotherhood branch of the game, correct? I wouldn't be missing anything tied to the main plot if I decline, right? I'm pretty sure I just ignored it last time.

Now, I'm really going through the game quickly this time, but it's so obvious that with a few years for development, Skyrim is going to be tremendous.
I hope it's like Darkfall(sans the bugs!) as that was an AWESOME game for it's time(once it was patched to death).
That game map was HUGE.(I doubt Skyrim is going to be that big....just saying....side quests and loot quests were abound in Daggerfall)

Thanks.

You're right, they're just side quests.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Really pumped about this game! Thought about picking up oblivion or even replaying Morrowind to hold me over, but I think I'll just wait to make it that much sweeter. Still havent decided whether to get console or PC version though.

Well I just reread the preview of Skyrim in July's(?) PC Gamer and it sounds like it's going to blow Oblivion away.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I never said Oblivion was going to be better. I said if it's half the game it looks like I will never look at it Oblivion again. So I wasn't saying that if it was half the game Oblivion is (it will be without doubt much better), I was saying if it's half the game it looks to be, which is already far superior to Oblivion

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I think it was your use of the word "loils" that confused everyone.

I figured that...I was just reinforcing your thoughts.

The previewer stated among other things...

-better combat system....gone is the clunky, jerky combat....smooth as butter.
-no more behind the scenes random die rolls overseeing combat....what you do(ability related) is what you get
-perks to the leveling ala Fallout 3
-new graphics engine!(and Oblivion looked pretty nice to me)

just to name a few.

Since you've already gone through once and have now triggered it anyway, I would definitely at least give the DB a look. IMO it's one of the best done story lines in the game. You'll probably feel slimy doing it (well, I did anyway) but I think it's worth at least giving a look before you move on to the Skyrim and all its apparent awesomeness.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Dark Brotherhood had my favourite storyline, and since Bethesda said they loved doing it, I look forward to become the next Listener in Skyrim

Have they said if there will be another arena yet?

No they have not metioned another arena. I don't remember them talking about the arena in Oblivion before its release.
