Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[GreasySausageSandwhich]

Thieves guild had the coolest story line all the way through, but the epicness of the end of the Dark Brotherhood was pretty hard to beat.

[Tot.]

SPOILERS BELOW THIEVES GUILD QUESTLINE

You guys remember that quest in the thieves guild where you go with Mercer to rendezvous with Karliah inside ruins of some sort? That was the single dumbest fight arrangement I recall ever seeing.

*arrival at the site*
Me: Alright! We're here.
Mercer: Yeah, this reminds me of something. Last time we went to these ruins with a partner of mine to meet her we got ambushed, he died, I barely got out alive, can you believe it? Haha!
Me: ... Right, okay, so lets wait outside, she cant sit in there forever, right? We will ambush her when she comes out.
Mercer: What? Oh hell no, we're going in, buddy.
Me: What?
Mercer: Oh by the way, she's an expert marksman too.
Me: You're an id.....
Mercer: OKAY! HERE WE GO! Are you ready to rumble? 3, 2....
Me: WAIT. At least let Lydia come along so it's 3v1 in the worst case scenario.
Mercer: Dude, no. We do it by yourselves, horses and women wait outside.
Me: ......

I hate when a game allegedly gives you the freedom of action (which it doesnt, vide immortal quest npcs) and then just takes it away when needed, because its a fucking scripted quest. Such a dumb game. Good looking unfortunately. Just like many women. Hm.

[Anal Bleeding]

the game seems like a grind from a mmorpg.
its a bit boring after a while.

[Xant]

If you play it to get levels, I suppose ...

[Kophka]

You don't play TES games to get levels, since there is no-one to compare yourself to. You play them to uncover story-lines and plots, and have fun with a thief/mage/archer/whatever. Nothing about these games is a grind. You may push yourself to complete the main quest quickly, but that's about choice, not keeping up with someone.

Haha that is exactly what I thought when I played that quest. But I suppose they needed you to get shot first to make the storyline work.

Pro tip to everyone. Do not fast travel to Japhet’s Folly by using TMM 1 and thus showing all map markers in game.

You can't fast travel outside of there without using Coc lol.

Frikkin glitch =/ Was some cool fireworks though there

[Anal Bleeding]

the quests are the grind, plus all the shit u gotta do to get gold, etc.
quests are annoying as hell, just like in mmo.

Bards college is bugged. I got to the burning of king olaf and Vimario just keeps putting the torch to the effigy over and over and no matter what I do it won't fix 

In other news, I killed my wife (she was annoying), her brother then sent mercs after me, I killed them and then went and killed him. Time to find a new wife

And this, dear grumpy nerds who keep complaining in this topic , is why you play this game.

[Christo]

Dude your method of "breaking up" is a bit overkill.. 

[B3RS3RK]

Which bitch was your wife?

[Tears of Destiny]

Can't you, um... Divorce your wife in this game?

I wonder if I could marry a person in each settlement for the RP of some douchey thief...

[Christo]

Or just cheat. 

(if you can, ofc)

[ManOfWar]

Dude I married mjoll the lioness and I want to kill her so badly,

EVERYWHERE WE GO SHE WON'T STFU

But she is immortal for some reason...
