According to this wiki, Almalexia only has a health regeneration ability while in the temple. Is this definitely the case? I've tried jumping onto a high ledge with a Scroll of Icarian Flight in Sotha Sil's room and attacking her from there. It works, but I do so little damage that I can't tell ...

There should have been an entire Bard's College questline where you totally destabilize Skyrim by inventing rock and roll, or something.

You know what's really silly? That you can only get Lover's Comfort from your married spouse. Wake up, Bethesda, this is the 21st century! (To preclude misunderstandings, I'm married myself in real life and happily so, but why can't I roleplay a promiscuous slut and get a little boost to my élan ...

^ Do you get to the Grey Quarter very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't.

Madena, the shell-shocked Dawnstar court mage. It would have been nice to be able to bring her some peace of mind aside from just replacing Skald with Brina (who treats Madena much better). She's the only court mage without even a miscellaneous quest associated with her.

I always wanted some follow ...

Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild:

When I went into the final room of Snow Veil Sanctum I had Lucian Lachance summoned and he just stood there while Mercer stabbed me apparently to death. Look, Lucian, I'm sure the treachery of Cheydinhal was very sad and all, but what about the treachery of Snow ...

My similarly unscrupulous Altmer would have done the same thing but for some reason at the time it never occurred to me that she would definitely kill Thonar as revenge for framing her for like six different murders. And I can't go back and do it now because a) she had a change of heart about being ...

I think probably the "correct" way, from a heroic standpoint, is to kill Madanach and then discreetly backstab Thonar right after he's given you your reward. I've never actually done that, though.

Why would Maven want you dead without you even doing anything to her, though?

I had the glitch where certain Shivering Isles NPCs including Big Head and Arctus are just outside the strange door in Cyrodiil rather than in the Isles proper. At least one of those NPCs is a Golden Saint, and one time I came through the portal to Cyrodiil with the Gray Cowl on and she tried to ...

Isran never makes any serious attempt to harm Serana or to get you to harm her, though. He just gripes a lot about he'd really like to harm her. And she snarks back about how she wants to eat him.

Greybeards. They may initially be a little too...pro-apocalypse for my liking but at least they respect me instead of treating me like their lackey. Plus a lot of the reasoning behind killing Paarth would be highly uncomfortable if followed to its logical conclusion: killing just because he's a ...

Of course, it's also apparently possible to get a letter from shouting in Pelagius' mind. Maybe Sheogorath told Mora about it over drinks at New Sheoth.

Another theory about the "friend" that makes a scary amount of sense:

^ If you joined the Dawnguard you can give Dexion the other two scrolls.

Why is Brunwulf Free-Winter in a relationship with Elda Early-Dawn when his main bugbear is racism and she's an elf-hater?

^ That's funny. I have a similar one: Near Whiterun, my main character had fought a vampire that raised two corpses as allies. After a long fight, she goes to Whiterun where a guard says, "Ugh! That ahmuh smells terrabuhl. You been robbing graves?" At the time, I actually hadn't heard that line ...

Vorstag, because I didn't know him at all. Even as an evil character I'm generally against betraying my actual friends. He apparently considered me enough of a friend to leave me some money though, which made me feel pretty guilty.

OT: One of my weirdest conversations (but also strangely fitting) was Serana saying "Wow, this is gorgeous! I'm so glad to be here with you"... while looking at a Forsworn sacrificial altar strewn with bloody body parts. :lol:

Old habits die hard.

Speaking of Serana, I love how at the end of ...

In all fairness to Aerin, the player character often has someone who follows them around at all times too...

Haelga isn't a prostitute, she's just...deeply religious.

In all seriousness though, as far as I can tell the reason for her bedhopping is pleasure rather than business. She's kind of a jerk, but not all ladies of Dibella are like that; Senna is quite sweet.

Oblivion > Skyrim: Hand-to-hand being a skill in its own right.

Skyrim > Oblivion: General smoothness of the controls, and the fact that the conversations NPCs have with each other are specific to those NPCs rather than just "I saw a mudcrab the other day" being delivered through the mouths of ...

Serana does complain a lot, but it's all worth it when you get a "oh wow, this is gorgeous. I'm glad you're here with me".

What about setting up a situation where Aerin gets killed by wildlife or something so technically your hands are clean?

I think it's SOP for people who marry Mjoll to discreetly kill Aerin. You need to do it without her knowing, though, or she'll get upset. The recommended way to do this is apparently to recruit her as a follower while in your home, which should cause Aerin to start walking back to Riften. Then, tell ...
