just beat the dawnguard stuff so yeah I'm on Solsteheim. I'm liking it thus far. But after I'm done with that I'm tempted to start Morrowind but I'm not sure if I'll like it due to all the quality of life stuff made in Oblivion and Skyrim.

I just started playing Skyrim for the first time about two months ago. I have done everything except Dawnguard and the Civil War, because the quest giver for every single CW mission never spawns and even when I console command my way to the next mission it bugs out. 10/10 A+ gaming

the civil war missions are themselves buggy and shitted out anyway
like the part where it's meant to be a sneaking mission where youve got to go infiltrate an imperial fort and bust out some prisoners and take it over from the inside, but as soon as a guard even becomes slightly suspicious (like, if youre half a mile away) you insta fail the sneak part and your guys who are waiting outside just go "plan B storm the gates"

there's the one where you have to capture a cart full of whatever and your crack team comes up with a strategy like "you go lure them out and we'll shoot arrows at them from our hiding spot" and that just doesn't happen, you just like aggro them and then they all hit each other with swords till theyre dead

or there's the battles which are much the same but with magic soldiers appearing and disappearing. maybe you have to walk through part of a city and enter a building

thats the entire civil war
i reckon they wanted to do some massive epic war raging back and forth but it was broken and they scrapped it way too late and slapped together whatever they could before the deadline

i don't mind that much because large scale battles and tactics and stuff like that is not really relevant to the core elder scrolls experience. i quite like how in elder scrolls online the war stuff is nicely compartmentalised into the pvp server as well

on the other hand, morrowind is a way better game than oblivion or skyrim

You should just wait for the skyrim mod where they put all the morrowind stuff in game.

Yeah I'm noticing that the game can't do widescreen and the controls are entirely different.


also did skyrim's music re-use a shitload of stuff from morrowind? There's the general world/town theme which sounds very similar. I've never played an ES game outside of oblivion and a few minutes of Arena.

openMW will be done first

and then you can just play goddamn morrowind with a good framerate instead of a skyrim where everything would have to be butchered in and you wouldn't be able to make spells

Ok got every spell, except I think I might need to head back into Soil Cairn and get a few I missed there(I thought the horse was it) and I have every shout too.

Got the special powers too like the summon Frost Giant spell.

kill all the npcs that really like you, including lydia, then get married

all their corpses will show up for the party because bethesda couldn't be assed to check if your friends are alive when they need to show up

Crap one of those stones I dropped that are needed for the trials. Those tiny little green stones and there's only like 5 of them and the guy who sells one doesn't have it available.

So I mistakenly unleashed a barrage in the small room with the stone to kill the dwarf ballista thinking it would be like the 24 Unknown gems and be forever glued to the table until you picked it up, I was wrong it went flying. Not only did it go flying but it soared out of the room, I heard something drop down into the floor below among the rocks.

When I got married in Skyrim the only people who showed up to my wedding were some impoverished old father I sold carrots to and a guy I gave money to once to help me beat stuff up. then I told the wife to move in to my hovel in the middle of an icy shithole and she vanished completely forever

did one last sweep through while waiting for dig guy to send me his last message, delivered all books to orc dude, the 4 falmer ones and beat all the ice giants and got to the special areas. Choose Aela as my wife. I also got Frost to complete the horse trifecta with Shadowmere and Avrak.

This is it, this is the last quest. The final two cheeves...

All done 75 achievements unlocked yesss...

Yes. They take like 2 minutes because you just quick travel everywhere. Have them match the same city and it cuts down on travel.
