Elder Scrolls General

Sidequests. Side STORIES.

Go join a faction.

My rule is that I never fast travel and I randomly poke into nearby caves and dungeons as I encounter them.

Some of them are story locked though.

People send you letters and ask you to bring them things. Those often turn out to be more important than they seem.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to speed the main questions as fast as you can, of course.

Or any other quest line, for that matter. I know my first run I went through the College as fast as I could, and I did both DL Cs, one after the other, very quickly as well.

As long as the quests aren't frustratingly difficult due to your level, the best pace to do them is the one you want.

that's a fair assessment. And most dungeons and such are leveled. As you level up, higher tier versions of the villains that live in them spawn in place of weaker ones.

Kinda weird when you get to Skuldafn and everyone there was apparently a Deathlord rank.

My copy of Skyrim appears to be glitched.

When I play through Unbound, the dragon doesn’t burn down the wall that lets you advance, any help?

EDIT: Fixed.

A buggy Bethesda game? I am shocked, shocked I say! <surprised Pikachu face>

Seriously though, just restart from an earlier save to see if it keeps happening.

That's the opposite of what was requested. Id say, check the wiki and find the console commands to forcibly advance progress

I never really liked brute forcing the game like that and always tried other means to fix such issues like restarting from a previous save or looking for patches first.

It helps that Unbound is the beginning of the game, so you cannot have wasted that much time in it yet.

Oh they fixed it. What did you do?

> But is there a way to quickly increase my skills? Prefferably Sneak and Archery?

Last page but

You can increase your skills in sneak and archery by being a sneaky archer (essentially use stealth skills combined with archery on bandits found thoughout skyrim,you'll quickly gain skillpoints and more importantly levels

Also wild animals

I completed the main quest and all major faction questions plus the Dawnguard DLC, starting up Dragonborn DLC, but stopped once I reached Morrowind mainland. No idea why...just lost interest and haven't been back in a year. I should eventually get around to completing that...

pretty sure that's Solstheim, not the mainland

Was about to say, I missed something really good if there was some mainland action.

Yeah, while there are giant mushrooms and Dunmer, that's not because you're on the mainland. It's because things have gone to utter shit on the mainland, forcing the Dunmer to move to other places like Solstheim.

My bad, I knew what I meant. I'll eventually get around to this DLC eventually, just other games are taking up my interest now after having spent 150+ hours on the main quest + hundreds of side quests and all of Dawnguard. Got a bit burnt out and then this Dragonborn DLC comes along promising more of the same.

This is actual dialogue I've not heard before.

I was disappointed to learn that Skyrim is the only mainline Elder Scrolls game to be on the Switch. I would kill to be able to play Morrowind while lying in bed.

I'm kinda mad you can play ESO on phone but not Switch

I think Dagoth Ur has become a meme that totally surpasses the game Morrowind, as in, people who haven't played it know him.

I approve. He's a great character.

I'm playing Oblivion and I have to wonder why on earth the player character would even visit the Imperial City considering they were being held prisoner there at the start.

Gonna walk into the city a free man!

The PC themselves apparently don't even know why they were in jail, sounds like it was more a matter of bad luck (Or fate, if the Emperor is to be believed) than actually being wanted for a crime. Plus having the blessings of the Blades probably made them not fear going back to prison.

Makes sense, I guess :p
