Centurion Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 12 hours ago, The Good Doctor said: Yeah, the Last Dragonborn has never seen a map or been to any country in Tamriel, isn’t capable of learning anything new unless it involves killing, stealing, or magic, and has to have words of power literally shoved forcefully into his soul because language is hard. Bruh it’s annoying. Your a nord? Well you’re not from Skyrim and the game lets you know it, “Why’s a foreigner want to fight for Skyrim” -Galmar Stonefist. Your a dark elf? Well your not from Skyrim or Morrowind “Outlander” “hur dur there’s no jarls?” Guarantee if Bethesda had done somewhere else than solsthiem it would’ve been the same. Like Stros M’kai “what’s x reguard thing” even tho your a redguard. Etc etc 1 Fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etc etc I don’t know if Bethesda just can’t write player dialogue, or they just choose not to, but that is something they have always struggled with. New Vegas, or better yet, Outer Worlds, has the same dialogue system but with so much more opportunity to display our experience and and personality in the things we say. Makes you feel like you’re playing a character and not just a soulless avatar created by the gods at the start of the game. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fucking worst that I just remembered is the asking what the Great War was or what’s the white-gold concordat like my character was born five fucking days ago under a fucking hill 1 Fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game makes a lot more sense in general if we just assume the Last Dragonborn is a literal caveman. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The events of Skyrim are all false, the main character is a prisoner of the Dominion and the Great War is still ongoing. They've fooled your mind into a faux reality, how else can you explain how un-Nordic Skyrim is. Dragons? That's a Cyrodiil thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the only things I will give credit to Skyrim’s Thieves Guild for is that they actually make you earn this. You’ve got to steal a lot of shit plus beat the questline before they’ll put you in charge. But even then, it really only works because all the veteran members are either uninterested or too incompetent to even compete. And I guess the Dark Brotherhood does effectively get wiped out in their questline to the point where it’s basically just a choice between you (the Night Mother’s chosen) or the vampire brat. No excuse for the Companions and definitely not the College. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to work my ass off to become Patriarch of the Tribunal, it felt well earned to don the Ebony Mail. I cannot imagine how different, quick and ass-kissing it'd be if designed today.

I hate to say it, since her grandma Barenziah is one of the better written characters in the series, but Karliah is an absolutely abysmal character.

You can’t even reach the higher ranks without having tons of experience or training. The Temple in particular won’t accept anyone as their Patriarch who hadn’t gone on extensive pilgrimages and crusaded multiple times into hell itself. I especially like the progression through House Telvanni. Their culture awards the ambitious, so it makes sense that you rise relatively quickly after going the extra mile to distinguish yourself. And in the end, you essentially carve out your own place at the top, rather than being arbitrarily chosen over someone more suitable. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives you shit to do as archmagister and allows you to make house Telvanni the defacto head of Morrowind through guile and intrigue 1 Fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Brynjolf sucking your dick about being “special” even if you fuck up the Brand-Shei quest.
