Let's Play Skyrim: Anders Breivik Victorious

[Manjuice Nutella]

I feel bad at how awful a light I showed the game in - this questline feels like it was phoned in by a third-rate modder compared to the rest of the content

But 99% of quests in this game are similar to this questline.

Except

Spoiler

Murder in Windhelm, Forsworn investigation in Markarth and Sanguine's Witcher 2 drunk quest's bad imitation

every quest was either dull generic dungeon crawl which ended in killing strong draugr for quest item at the end, or going to the fort/ruin and slaughtering everyone there and reporting back.

Didn't play Dark Brotherhood yet, which was actually good in Oblivion, but Companions were terrible, and College isn't much better - same scheme as above.

Quests, especially "Miscellaneous" Radiant ones are failure. Even Fallout 3, hell, even Oblivion had way more interesting City side-quests, such as Hackdirt one. Until the quest mods will be made with Creation kit, I can't stand the dullness of this game any more.

OK, that was terrible. I was starting to think that maybe I should give Skyrim a try, but now I'm back to "fuck this shit".

This time even Jimbob's LP skills couldn't salvage the horrible source material. Good try though

I feel bad at how awful a light I showed the game in - this questline feels like it was phoned in by a third-rate modder compared to the rest of the content. It's not a great game by any means, but other than this dreadful tacked-on aside, it's a huge improvement over Oblivion in just about every way. If Morrowind was a 10/10 (which it's not, I know, but for purposes of comparison) and Oblivion a 4/10, Skyrim is a solid 7.

Just... avoid the civil war. Please don't let Anders Breivik's struggle be in vain.

I'll LP the Imperial Legion on Xmas. That will make them buy the game.

Skyrim is banal shit boring. The world is bland and the quests are a snore fest. The Codex has just finally embraced the LARPing.

 

[Majestic47]

LARPing is the only way to make sandbox game fun it seems. Taken to the extreme...like how i approach the game - if there's a carriage route from Whiterun to Dawnstar, I'll take it gladly, paying the 50 gold trip. But if there's no carriage return trip available, I suck it up and start the long trek back.

Oblivion sucked monkeyballs because it was... well - it was oblivion.

Skyrim on the other hand had an actual chance of becoming a good, if not great game. Yet it failed on so many different levels, that it became an old mans LARPing simulator with a few redeeming factors. I tried like 5 new chars, each and everyone leveled to ~40 but the game becomes so bland and dull that I dropped it entirely. Not to mention that I never even touched the whole Imperial vs Stormcloak quests, let alone the main quest. Thanks to this LP I know I was right. I'd rather read about the fancy journeys of Drizzt than that bullshit Bethesda has been spitting out in these 'radiantly' told questlines - and that says a lot. At least some quests were enjoyable, though I find it funny how different the writing style and content of some quests are. Apparently someone over there actual has some skill after all.

It seems Skyrim was too much even for the legendary Admiral.

By the way, Jimbob, what Dragon Priest did you fight to get that mask? I have only been able to find three of them.
