The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[G13]

What the Stormcloaks like to forget is that the Empire is the only thing keeping the Dominion out of Skyrim.

Not doin' too good a job of that what with the existence of a Thalmor Embassy and the Aldmeri Inquisition goin' on.

Went Stormcloak after the whole "we're going to behead you anyway" incident at Helgen. Then, halfway through Jagged Crown, I completed the Dark Brotherhood questline and realised that all the Penitus Oculatus agents are Balthier and immediately changed to Imperials. As I said before, I'll probably side with the Stormcloaks when I do my Ba'gamnan playthrough.

(SPOILER)The Concordat was accepted because the only other option was absolute destruction, which wouldn't help anyone in the Empire. The Thalmor would have taken Cyrodiil and would be attacking Skyrim from two sides. Skyrim would fall, lots of people would die. Emperor Titus II, a pretty cool guy, knew this so accepted the terms with the intention of rebuilding their strength and launching a massive counterattack, then Ulfric Stormtwat ((SPOILER)an unwitting pawn of the Dominion, specifically installed so as to destabilise the Empire and make everyone more easy to take over after the civil war) gets in a huff and ruins everything.

Did you know...?

Every single post that does not say "Stormcloaks" is wrong? Well, they are!

I mean I expected it of Huxley, but the rest of you disappoint me. It's kind of cool when you and Ulfric team up and he starts shouting at everything. And look, while I feel for the Argonians, SKYRIM FOR THE NORDS. Get out of my smurfing country you god damn immigant trash Dunmer sons of bitches.

Well that's good, I'd hate it if the Dominion showed up and began kidnapping Skyrim's citizens and placing them in torture dungeons at will OH WAIT.

Also think you'll find there's something even more compelling keeping the Dominion out of Skyrim than the sissypants Empire. (SPOILER)Me.

Two people shouting people to death? There can be only one.

HEIL HIGH KING ULFRIC STORMCLOAK GLORY TO THE NORDS DEATH TO THE IMPERIALS!

Seriously smurf the Imperials, bunch of ponces licking the boots of elves. I had pretty much decided to side with the stormcloaks from the start, whoever mentioned the whole Helgen thing I agree with. That didn't sit well. Then the Dark Brotherhood pretty much settled it for me, my first crew I worked for, my "family", I would have done anything for those smurfs and well, you know how that turns out. Pretty much sealed the deal for me, every Imperial must die. And christ I hate the Thalmor. And elves in general. smurf all of them.

I haven't played Skyrim in like a week. I miss all you bros here in Skyrim General Thread; once I finish my current game of EU3 I'm going to jump back into it

DK's from the south west so it's to be expected of him.

I can't be the only one who is SICK TO smurfING DEATH of endless Dwarven indentikit cut & paste dungeons called Ijsenfindijlfnxcjiszel and have absolutely nothing of interest in there apart from bits of metal that are too heavy and enemies that look like giant golden ovaries?

Here's a basic runthrough of every one of these dungeons:

1. Kill bandits at the entrance
2. Kill golden ovaries inside
3. Kill Falmer deeper inside
4. Leave

At least the caves have challenging enemies (Draugr Overlords) and at the very least smurfing door puzzles or something. And they don't take 45 minutes of running through miles of identical corridors of pistons, getting occasionally jumped by a robot spider that falls to pieces under anything heavier than a small breeze in their direction.


I'm sorry, I just spent about an hour trudging through the latest one only to discover my prize was a greater soul gem and a small door which just led back outside less than 100 yards from the entrance.

[Quindiana Jones]

The one to find the Elder Scroll is pretty fun, though that may be due to the massive jump that you can take to skip a half hour's trudging. But yeah, "custom made dungeons" was never going to be true with a company like Bethesda.

Just encountered a Draugr Death Overlord. (No I don't mean the vanilla Draugr Overlord or Deathlord or whatever, this is a step even higher than those assholes!) My first reaction was to hit him with a blast of the old Fus. His reaction to spying me was exactly the same thing. It ended up like that scene in Episode 3 when Obi-Wan and Anakin try to force push each other at the same time, and then both get sent flying. It was great.

Also what is it about Dawnstar and Winterhold that means that a dragon shows up whenever I do? I feel like Zidane from FFIX. This time in Winterhold I killed a dragon on top of a rooftop. A guard, seeing the battle was over, walked up to a dead colleague and announced "I'm going to find whoever did this". With great comedic timing, the dead dragon slid off the roof and fell onto his head. Good job guard, you found the murderer!

I spent two hours creating my character then decided I didn't like it and started from scratch, I think I may get it on PC so I can download some mods so I can have a normal looking character, I am boring when it comes to character creations.

Ahaha this is great.

WELCOME TO THE ELDER SCROLLS

Has anyone started the quest with the drinking contest in Riften? I passed out and ended up in the Shrine of Dibella in Markarth after a drunken party - the snooty priestess forced me to clean up the mess and pay her almost 200 gold for info on where the guy who challenged me went with the staff I won. Seeking revenge, I made a bigger mess of all of her pots and trout and sneaked around, stealing all of her offerings to Dibella. Then I went outside and a tourist from Cyrodiil shopping at a jeweler's stall was killed right in front of me by an agent of the Forsworn, whom I helped the guards dispatch. Then some guy gave me a note which "must have dropped from my pocket" which read "Meet me in the Shrine of Talos." I headed there and he told me a tearful tale of how his father was murdered by the Forsworn, but now that he had his own family, he needed help to bring them down. Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

The quest you are talking about is the best one in the game, do not buy off anyone, do the quests.
