After 200 hours of pointless faffing about I was finally powerful enough to one-shot most enemies, and went on a huge questlog-cleanup binge, one-shotting my way through every stupid side-quest I'd managed to pick up along the way. Felt like clearing out the garage for the first time in 10 years.

@@boiledelephant god I know what you mean

The dwarven caves are the longest. Ugh...

And then somehow you end up in Blackreach....

@@trindalas lol

I rather thought their mistake was being thalmor.

Pretty sure the point of the Thalmor is to die

Warhammers are tools. Thalmor are nails.

YEEESS

I killed a group of Thalmor, shoved a shit load of enchanted weapons armor and staff's in two of their corpses, revived them with Dead Thrall, and had them help me slaughter everyone in Northwatch Keep. It was a blast.

I misunderstood it the first time too, and did the same thing. Except when I discovered the city had turned hostile to me, I panicked and fled, and did everything in my power to avoid returning to Markarth since lol. Which was a pain, because that was the first quest in Markarth I'd done, and I later needed to go there to for the Dark Brotherhood questline. I've never chugged so many invisibility potions before in my life lmao

@@VoxVocisCruora same thing happened to me, I remember successfully sneaking back into Markarth to do the DB quest with a 1000+ bounty. It was intense but fun and felt very rewarding after.

I've screwed up that questline so many times. Usually I just avoid it entirely now. But the last time I did it, I stealth-assassinated every single guard in Markarth before doing the quest. More spawned, of course, but I killed those too, and just left. And like you, I ended up killing more of them on a regular basis. The other major way I screwed up the quest is where I got to Cidna Mine and got told that nobody ever escapes... I just glitched through the bars and left. It just works.

Local man too strong to get arrested 😂

This is genius. I wish it was in the game

Good point. He might make for a decent Blade, too.

I was always depressed that the the creation club content that brought in the Vigil of Stendarr content, like the armor and quest lines, we couldnt enhance the Vigilants that wander around by at least giving some of them the armor, and giving a few of the DawnGuard Members some of the armor, like Isran giving him the top tier heavy Stendarr Armor. They could have done so much more with some of those cool additional armors.

If you start out talking to the Empire specifically, at a certain point they'll have you go to Windhelm to talk to Ulfric, at which point you can join them, and then for the Jagged Crown quest you can take the crown back to General Tulius instead. I might've gotten the details wrong but if I'm remembering right there's some unique dialogue for the triple-cross.

Yep. Kind of irked me to see that quest left open.

@@trog69 if you complete the main questline and don't kill him, the quest dissappears from the list.

I still can't believe it takes a mod to put The Blades in their place.

if you attack parrthurnax before you talk to him about the blades wanting him dead, he's still marked as an essential NPC. but it registers you killing him for the blades. but you're still cool with the greybeards(whom i hate tbh) and Paarthurnax.

I recently started again with Skyrim & when I got to the peace treaty & ended the reunion, I ran as soon as I saw Delphine getting close to me. That way the mission didn't even appear on the list!! I felt so good cause her request was so unfair & stupid.

@Julio Cesar Exactly. I don't know what level you need to be, but it can't be greater than 15. I've literally never failed it. Easy speech levelup.

iirc Alva turns on Movarth and helps you. So I guess she's just good now. It's a little buggy but I've had her live in the cave or return to Morthal and sweep the vampire stuff under the rug, depending on the playthrough. Edit: auto-correct made "little buggy" into "kitten buggy" lol.

@@wolfgod6443 Yeah that was a definite bug, one that some people actually liked. It's been "corrected" in a later version of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch because she was always meant to be hostile to the Player so you'd have no choice but to kill her, (but if you don't apply the patch...)

Yep, that was a bug in the quest because she was always meant to be hostile to the Player and you'd have no choice but to kill her. With the bug, she was regarded as a citizen or some such so killing her was considered murder and you'd get a bounty

yep I always sneak into the house and steal the journal while she's asleep. doing so awakens her and she runs off to the cave, but she becomes friendly and starts attacking the other vampires lol.

@@ReHerakhte overrated mod that one. I used it for a time but its a mess with a high mod count LO and needs patches for everything and causes more glitches than it fixes

That's how I like to play my file. Only the first Main quest and than travel and quest everything besides. Pretty Harmonic out in the wild without dragons attacking you.

@@invictaa667 exactly!! You get to really appreciate Skyrim when u aren’t looking at the sky the whole time and running for cover. Also it makes for good “non-Dragonborn” role plays.

I'm about 50 hours into my first playthrough and I am still not the dragonborn. I just like doing my own thing lol

Killing the first dragon at the watchtower is the trigger for dragons to start spawning, if you never go to the tower and kill the dragon the guards just stand near the tower and no dragons come to say hi.

Sounds like a cool video idea. "How much of Skyrim can you finish without becoming Dragonborn?"

@Jacob Baltzegar And then they smuggly said no...

Some people, for some reason unbeknownst to me, seem to actually like the Thalmor.

@@theghoulishsword2406 It's the robes dude. Style is everything.

When I roleplay my argonian killer-croc I see the thalmor as the good since they seem like the only ones that have their shit together enough to take action to try and win, like a predator. While the rest is infighting, distrusting eachother being vulnerable. Like prey. Besides without the dragonborn it seems skyrim, the empire, the thieves guild, the dark brotherhood, etc would all crumble. Why would one side with those that rely on you to survive yet still try to treat you like they are above you.

@@theghoulishsword2406 Because according to the lore they are actually right to hate Talos. Talos was a shady emperor who used the Numidium (a giant mecha golem made by the dwemer) to mass murder elves and steal divine powers, just like Dagoth Ur wanted to use Akulakhan to mass murder imperials on Morrowind and steal divine power... Talos is basically a villain who won off-screen. Also, if you are able to join the Stormcloaks as a despised Khajiit or Argonian, why would you be unable to help the Thalmor as a despised Nord or Imperial?

i just quest command in the miscellaneous as if i killed him and am friendly with both blades and greybeards. Tbh delphine is trash just like Jaufree the grandmaster from oblivion. Idiots both of them.

@@Kami-Sama197 I don't even want to help them recruit new members. If I had a choice in the matter, I would actually stand with the Aldmeri Dominion, and establish the Elves as the true master race of Tamriel. Once I get what I need out of them, I just abandon the two of them to their secret mountain hideout. If they really want Paarthurnax dead, they can march their asses up the 7,000 steps and try to force their way past the Greybeards themselves.

@@Nyrufa skyrim belings to the nords but ulfric doesn't deserve to rule let the imperials in ulfric is a dishonorable nord

@@thefriendlygiantgaming7344 Why is he dishonorable? The game makes a big deal about telling us how corrupt and unfit to rule he is, but never at any point in the game do they actually show him doing anything unworthy. Heck, he gives Balgruuf multiple chances to join his side, instead of immediately whipping out the axe when he rejects him the first time.

@@Nyrufa Ulfric is dishonorable becayse he challenged high king torryg(dont know how to spell correctly) to combat to the death. Which among nords they like it to be fair(relatively). But Ulfric used the voice which the high king did not know how to use so it was not fair in a spar to the death

I understand this was 3 months ago but doesn't she trick you?

Saadia is the bad guy in that quest. Her dialogue doesn't match up with the lore but the Redguard mercenaries say things that make more sense

@@CloudBlitzer yea I don't remember but I think I killed her the 1st time I met her since she pulled out a weapon on me so I thought I had no other choice

​@@CloudBlitzeryeah but shes a baddie so i help her

I don't think it is ever made certain that Saadia is the bad guy in that quest. In fact the opposite appears to be true and I nearly always proceed as if she is telling the truth for one, main reason. That reason is that Kematu promises you that she will be taken back home and given a fair trial. However, if you side with him then her remains end up in the Whiterun Hall of the Dead. If she were taken home, given a trial and executed why would they bother bringing her remains back to Whiterun? Some might say it could have been her last request but why would she ask for that and, even if she did, why would the request be honored? Nope, Kematu is simply the head of a band of mercenaries, assassins and brigands who have been hired to hunt down and murder her just like she says and after you turn her over to them immediately murdering her and leaving/dumping her body in Whiterun is exactly what they do. Heck, Kematu and his thugs are hiding out in a bandits' den and are paying the bandits to guard them and let them stay there. That doesn't sound like a bunch of upstanding guys, to me.

Yeah I did that once then reloaded the save because the dark brother hood is o e of the coolest quest line's

I chopped her head off. She said nothing.

Nathan Whiting It’s a timing thing

Also a funny Astrid thing is if you fail a reverse pickpocket as she's burnt, unable to move and asking you to kill her, she will pop right back up and start attacking you.

@@ZerotheShadowking i think she'll attack the player eventually too (not sure), but she's already pretty busy wiping out other vampires

@@zinhnin4812 No, she won't. She will just kill the vampires and move back to the city, to keep living thre like nothing happened. The guy will be free from her control and both will live on separate houses.

I read in another thread that the other vampires will become hostile to her if they detect you when you enter the cave. So you have to sneak in and then protect her from harm if you don’t want her to be murdered to death. Also read in the same thread that if you talk to her after, she just calls you “meat” but won’t attack. That reminds me of a mode that allowed me to hired a vampire as a mercenary. They said “be quiet, meat” to me every time I talked to them.

In my own case, she didn't show up at the cave. When the townspeople made a posse to go after the master vampire, I tripped on her corpse near the town gate, shot with several arrows. Seems to me she wound up hostile to the guard

And the fact that you could actually talk to her boss the demonic being she thought was kinda nonsense and at least not necessary.

@Mem Was that not implied with her thinking the Nightmother and Sithis was unnecessary nonsense? Seeing as getting rid of the NightMother would mean they wouldn't know who did the ritual or if one took place. Thus the Brotherhood would take a fairly big reputation hit. She was really banking on a spy network she didn't really introduce that well to the player

@@SpectralKnight Astrid just wanted her merry band of assassins, not the Dark Brotherhood. The second things looked like she was going to lose her place, she sold you out but good.

@Mr. Trox Yeah but as I said they built their reputation on having a magical ritual and not everyone is going to be so blatant about it like the kid (aventus?) She should have started her own assassin club with blackjack and hookers. :)

It wasn't jealously she thought the guild would be safe if she bargained your life

Yes!! 200+ hours of previous saves I never ever did that questline, finally got back into SKSE recently and I was not expecting her there at all. Really appreciated having her around and it was such a fun quest. I'm still travelling to get to Avezenchel for the next part of the quest but that was so cool!

​​@@retro34by far my favourite questline in the game, hope you enjoy/enjoyed it! (I might have cried a little but don't tell anyone!) (Also you can have a random encounter related to it when walking around in the world after completing the quest line, think you need to be wearing the final quest reward for it to happen, so keep an eye out! Such beautiful closure.)

That's what I did my first playthrough. I was pissed that they kidnapped me and tried to force me to kill someone so I wiped out everyone

Skyrim's DB is very disappointing. They are reduced mere thrill seeking psychopaths instead of professional killers. I exterminated them to at least clean the shame from Sithis. (Headcanon)

@@yharnamiyhill787 Sign of the times? A lot factions from the Brotherhood to Theif's Guild turned into jokes in-between Oblivion and Skyrim.

@@chadharger9323 I think writing in 2010+ has been a disappointment in general. Hell, Mass Effect 3 was a huge red flag in the creative arts industry.

@@yharnamiyhill787 Part of the problem is the game's time line. Too many huge events and not enough of a gap in between games. The gap between Oblivion and Skyrim is 200 years. On the surface it may seem like a long time but the huge events in each game would make anything in between each look small. If I were to write the next TES this what I would focus on - the Moons. Ever see the bigger one from certain vantage points? It could be a mini-planet. A lot of potential right there. It can work because it's been done before. Lunar games. Goblin Slayer Manga. Final Fantasy VIII. Even a book in Skyrim mentions one of moons mysteriously vanishing then reappearing after some time.

papa-pepe exactly I killed 3 of them for simply throwing me an insult as I walked past them on the road.

you're expected to kill the dragon, it's your duty- saving the woman isn't your duty so it's a choice and makes you good for doing so!

Well, i reckon its the spontaneity and relatively small renown that would come from saving that women, alduin threatens all, so even a thief who murders for fun would want to kill him (joy of killing aside) after all he threatens his ability and freedom to kill and live, im sure even a deadra would try to fight alduin, can exactly do deadra stuff if the world is gone, but would a deadra interfere with some rando killing another rando? Would that thief? No, not likely, but a hero? A hero stops any and all threats to the innocent, wether that's a world eating wyvern or a small two bit bandit attacking some random girl, a hero sees an injustice, a threat to an innocent life, and puts a stop to it as soon as possible.

If I am just not remembering correctly and I did enter the house before the cave, Alva was never there and Hroggar was just sleeping and I walked past and got her journal. I ended up killing her when I found her in the cave sleeping.

If I am not mistaken you can just not kill Alva and Hrogar. You steal the journal and sneak out using invisibility potions.

Hroggar and Alva weren’t in my playthrough when I broke in

Which if you read through Elenwen's documents in the Party quest of the main storyline, you realize that the Thalmor /want/ the Civil War to go on as long as possible, and also would prefer it if the Stormcloaks won. tl;dr: Thalmor want the Stormcloaks to win so they can win the Second Great War with ease.

You know I've always been thinking those high elves are like the white people who came to the new land with their true god and start killing people and converting people. Because they think they are superior and have the right to do so. Just saying.

Tou Xiong Too bad you don’t know literally anything about The Elder Scrolls Lore. Because if you did you would know that the only reason they despise Talos is because the elves lived in Skyrim way before the Nords.

David Erif I did that also but I ran from Alva. I went to the Jarl and gave her Alva’s journal. When I went back out, I saw Alva leaving the town. Hroggar was grateful. Maybe by killing Alva he gets upset.

Actually if you enter the house during the day Alva will not be in the house, as she’s roaming around in the town. Or night. Either way she’s not always in her house.

Haha when the games glitches/failings are praised as deep nuance

Correct Hroggar works at the mil during the day and Alva sleeps in the basement. If you have high enuth sneak you can go in take the journal without killing Alva or Hroggar how ever doing this will make Alva flee to Cave when you give the journal to the jarl and you get to fight her there instead. How ever i have several time got the the Vampires in the cave see Alva as an enemy and kill her before i get to her. I have also managed to complete the quest without ether Alva or Hroggar dying but i didn't register Alva getting any new lines from it.

did you unspell him?

Much more realistic, money is what keeps the world in motion man.

I like the way it used to be

to be fair, the mages guild and fighters guild gave you access to some really unique stuff in oblivion, and getting kicked out was a big deal, in skyrim, the factions don't really offer anything special except end of questline loot, and access to certain dungeons. plus, i assume bethesda made it easier because the rejoin quests were far too much for most players, simply reverting to an earlier save to avoid the penalty

My first play through I accidentally did this. In the next few play throughs I was confused why he was in her house and hostile.

i just had my sneak maxed out he didn’t even see me and just went to bed

Or just sneak past him.

Idk I just did it and she was sleeping in her coffin and I just took the journal and brought it to the jarl. Didn’t kill her Hroggar wasn’t there.

@@appealtoreason7584 that's exactly what i did

@@kind1ne hahahaha it works 🤣 I hated to see the mission on my list 🤣

also if you complete the civil war questline first then you never need to have the council so you don't have to see delphine ever again

Or if you have access to the console commands, Mark delphine and esbern as non-essential npcs and FUS RO DAH them off of high hrothgar on thier way out (i think they are often the first or last to leave so you can do it safely), or you can download this mod called Paarthurnax quest expansion that let's you take the quest, talk to Paarthurnax, chose to spare him, then return to sky haven temple and tell the blades to STFU because you are the dragonborn and thier organization is supposed to serve the dragonborn! That way both the blades and Paarthurnax live

Unfair? No. Stupid? Yes.

I’ve never had this option my last play through I didn’t pick a side to try to enable it but nothing.

A shame there isn't any unique dialogue for saving Roggvir in Solitude. It is possible, though ludicrously difficult.

Storm Jinx I have strongboxes full of money and no issue with paying Deep-In-His-Cups the full amount at that point. I want all of the money.

Im angry cause i could help him but i didn't

If only in-game money could magically become the real thing; I'd be set for at least fifty lifetimes

budget restriction

500 gold is a whole year pay of a sailor in Skyrim. And the bounty from killing a deadly giant fire-breathing flying lizard is just that much. Clearing a whole fort of bandits only give you 100 gold.

@@thestarsoflion9615 And killing 2 giants can earn you about 500 gold, maybe even 600

Chris Cooper I mean at the start we saw a bit of the companions having to team up on a Giant, they’re pretty tough (unless you’re mid - late game and actually decent) but still think of how trash most NPC’s are to a late game character

I always found the fact that you only have to pay a 1500 gold fine for killing the freaking emperor of skyrim a bit cheap as well, although granted I'm scum and I frequently use the infinite gold cheat in order to get out of going to jail

It's a myth

It carnt be true ........can it

I got it once for the achievement and ignored it forever after.

That sounds like a horse mod, where you can end up summoning your horse via whistle. Convient Horses I think it's called.

seeing a show I am the type to side with cannibals I'm also the thalmor bloodletting type.

I didn't know you could do that.

@@bentarbbronze6048 now you know :]

if you complete that quest, then go and start the dragoinborn questline, hermaeus mora will greet you in apocrypha as his champion EDIT: I believe starting the dragonborn questline isnt actually neccessary to hear that dialogue, just gotta find a black book and enter apocrypha

@@devin59320 I do distinctly remember there being a dialog in that dlc if you read that book. I think it was with the elf in that plant if I remember right

Thank you I thought that shit was impossible

I wish they added this to the anniversary edition. Would've been better than adding more houses (really, how many houses does an adventurer need?) and tons of text-based side-quests.

which sucks for switch players... i ended the civil war and the general still refused (even while wearing the amulet of articulation).

@@danielcolon979 Excpet your trying to save a storm cloak supporter and we all seen how they treat the Dark elves,.the kahjets and the argonians. Both the storm clocks and the thalmor are racists.

Deadly Orange Lol i did that too.... I seriously didnt want to go to prison.

I only did the cidha mine quest on my most recent playthrough. If I did any of it before then, I always ran. Like, capturing me is YOUR job. If you suck at it then why should I be forced to do the rest of the quest guards. Lol

Deadly Orange I killed everyone in markarth (except the ones you can't, sadly) because someone saw me stealing. I didn't wanna go to prison so I went werewolf, which went over like a ton of bricks.

I killed the guards who went after me, but only because I had stolen stuff on me and wanted to store it away first lmao

Same lol

How do you abuse it?

There was a CHOICE? Are you serious? I don't know how you could resist that skinner box of compulsive perfectionism, no matter how dirty or violated you felt afterwards.

It's a multi-step process called the Resto Loop. You wear armor that improves your Alchemy, make a potion of Fortify Restoration, drink it, and then before leaving the inventory remove and re-equip your +Alchemy gear. This causes the effect to be amplified. You then make another Fortify Resto potion, which will now be stronger, and remove and re-equip the armor again for even more amplification of +Alchemy. The effect explodes exponentially until you're making potions that are improving your skills by billions of points, which also nearly immediately gets you to level 100 Alchemy. With that going on, then make some potions that Fortify pretty much anything else. Take Smithing for example. Drink a potion of more than +100000000% Smithing (i.e. "Improving weapons is % better") and then go improve an Iron Dagger or anything else. Not only will the Dagger have a damage stat in the absurd ranges, but you'll pretty much level up to 100 Smithing with just that one improvement. I believe the same can be done for leveling Enchanting, though not every Enchantment is affected by Fortify Enchanting. You definitely CAN make an enchanted sword with "Fortify One-Handed Skill by 1,000,000+ points" and armor with "Fortify Light/Heavy Armor Skill by 1,000,000+ points" to be effectively in godmode - I just don't know if it'll level you up faster. Another fun one is making a necklace of Fortify Speech/Barter in the millions. Things become very cheap. You can reset the Alchemy or Smithing skills to starting level after this to keep leveling up your character infinitely, and this can be done very early in the game. The only real risk is overflowing integer bounds while making the initial potions - if you go too high, the potions will overflow to negative values (which are usually treated as 0% improvement by the game), and can cause a CtD if you continue past that point. That much just takes trial and error. Good luck! This is unpatched as of two weeks ago, and likely will never be fixed.
