What are your skyrim confessions?

3 years ago by postgeographix to c/skyrimmods

I'll start - even though I have owned the game since launch, I have never been to Blackreach. Don't even know how to get there.

Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game. During my first play through I climbed High Hrothgar the hard way. Once I reached the top, found out there's actually a nice road on the other side of the mountain lol.

I have never finished the Thieves' Guild questline because I refuse to give Nocturnal her unbreakable lockpick back.

I've never finished the main questline. I always play for many hours doing other stuff, then get bored with my character build and start over with something else.

It took me years to get to the DLC. Had og skyrim on Xbox 360 and it wasn't until 2022 on special edition (PC) that I beat the DLCs. I still haven't gathered all the black books.

The only one I've played and finished is Dragonborn, Dawnguard I probably played up to Serana until that save said never should have come here so haven't touched the dlc for at least two years

I've never finished it. By the time I get to this point in the game, the save is unstable and I'm bored with my DB.

I have been trying modlists lately in favor of searching for and d/l'ing my own mods. It's made the game a bit more enjoyable and slightly more stable than when I mod it myself. Still doesn't help hit late game though. A enw update will come out that makes my previous saves broken so I start over again.

KiaraRedVA 6 points 3 years ago

The only reason I ever tried out new land/quest mods, follower mods, and mods that added in random npcs, is because in one of my early save games I killed most of the townspeople and wanted to go to another land that was more populated/re-populate Skyrim with new NPCs because I ended up regretting killing so many people, but I didn't want to restart the save.

Oh, and also I don't think Nazeem is that bad. I don't like him but he's made to be that way anyways. Honestly, the worst punishment is to keep that guy alive, he'll always be wondering if his end is close every time you pass him, as many others have done to him.

This is me, but with the Companions quest line. I have yet to do Dawnguard. What build do you recommend?

ahzidaljun 4 points 3 years ago

Serana is a constant so it's nice to play a melee build while she runs around zapping people and reviving chickens. The storyline can be a bit silly the first time around but i really appreciate the gothic flair of everything and fighting vampire guys

I can't stay engaged with long quests.

I have always had so many mods that I don't really know what is original and not anymore(to some extent). It was too many years ago I played without.

I have never finished the main quest or any of the bigger side quest like siding with imperials or storm cloaks. I finished dark brooder hood multiple times and companions once and almost did the thieves guild (I was so close, then I got bored). I actually finished one dlc (dragonborn) but that is all. Most of my gameplay is exploring caves and dwemer civilizations and random small quests that was in my direction like killing bandits or giving ingredients/items.

I have always had so many mods that I don’t really know what is original and not anymore(to some extent). It was too many years ago I played without.

This is my goal with all modding, honestly. As much as anything else I'm attracted to the idea of making a game my own unique, customized experience. My holy grail is getting to a point where everything is so thoroughly integrated that it's impossible to tell at a glance what's vanilla and what's modded, and to just sort of lose myself in that sensation.

Oh yea! I hate it when I can tell right away. I try my best to patch everything and make sure the loadorer is just right and that I don't get any mods that stands out like guns or anime stuff or random houses that do not fit in with the rest. I have over 1000 mods so it is a looot of work but it is so worth it. There was one load order I sat with for weeks, I started to wonder if I was ever going to play the game again πŸ˜‚

Piecemakers3Dprints 2 points 3 years ago

Factions like Stormcloaks, etc.? I think there was at least one point where I tried to finish the civil war quest thing, but then the dragonflight mod came out and I completely lost interest, understandably. What's a genocidal incursion when you've got dragons to ride over it all? I mean, the ability to wreak true and unmitigated havoc on the Imperial threat was the only thing missing from said mod (story-wise, that is; ofc you could fly around and raze every praetorian cosplay camp, but the narrative effect omitted how you did it). Just, wrap it up with a dragonfire bow, and get back to the bigger stage of cosmic, existential threats. Easy peezy, but no. πŸ˜…

Kuma 1 point 3 years ago

Yea I tried once too but lost interest because of a lot of other mods. That is the sad part about mods in my opinion. Mods are great, makes the game so much better and makes it possible to play so much longer but also removes the fun with the original quest. I mean there must be a reason most pc users do not play the big quest haha

Regarding Blackreach (this includes spoilers): ::: spoiler spoiler I think that is the dwarf "subterranean" terrarium. I think there is a Elder Scroll quest where the crazy guy north of the college of winterhold (lives in an iceberg) asks you to go. I don't think there are any other uses except maybe to try to get the "2 potions for 1 set of ingredients" perk. :::

I have never figured out what to do with Dravins Bow underneath the thieves guild.

After years and years of playing and modding TES, I still have no idea what the whole "kill Nazeem" quest is or how to even start it.

I feel so guilty and shameful whenever I see a Nazeem meme.

And every time I bump into him in Whiterun I think to myself, 'how do I kill you?'

I've never killed Alduin or been to Sovngarde, even though I bought and started playing the game on 11/11/2011. I'm afraid to finish the main quest, in case I never play the game again.

I don't like having followers. I feel guilty when I leave them at home. What if they get bored?

In Morrowind and Oblivion I stole everything that was not nailed down, but this feels wrong in Skyrim so I don't. This is obviously silly.

I have a list of mods I want to build that nobody has done yet, but would enhance my personal immersion. I want to feel like Skyrim is vast and unpopulated, and travel between cities is serious business. I really should build one just to find out how miserable the experience is, even though I know it won't really work. Skyrim's world space is too small to get the effect I want.
