I have never finished Dawnguard on the Dawnguard's side. It just bores me being anything less than a Vampire Lord.

^^Interesting. I've never been a vampire lord...because I detest vampires and find them hideous bottom feeders of creatures.

I only ever became a vampire once in Skyrim and once in Oblivion; both times it was by accident. It's actually kind of impressive how well the games get across the feeling of being...defiled when you're a vampire. Being a werewolf, on the other hand, feels more like just having a neat extra power for a marginal drawback. Maybe I'd feel differently if I played a character who became a vampire intentionally.

I've never completed all of the Dawnguard faction side quests, for both the Dawnguard and Vampires.
For the Vampires: I get bored after a while.
For the Dawnguard: I think Isran is a massive [&@%!] and I honestly don't want anything else to do with the Dawnguard after I complete their main quests.

I have never realized that Pelagius the Mad wrote the book "wabbajack" until today. 0_0

Also, I loved Isran and thought he was totally bad@$$ until I returned to him after Awakening. After that he just became a total $&#*.

I have never joined the Volkihar Vampires. I don't dislike them, I think they are very good and I especially like Harkon. but the Dawnguard's characters who I met the first time always draw me back to them. Isran is one of my favourite Skyrim characters.

The Dawnguard remind me of the older Oblivion factions, so I always love joining them.

Here's another one: I have never played an ''Evil'' character in Skyrim. I usually don't play them in any game. I think playing as an evil guy is boring, feels like it's too easy and there aren't any restraints.

I just realized that I too have never finished the Dawnguard questline on Dawnguard side. Have done it for the vampires only.

My characters have also never been properly married. I have gone through the ceremony just out of curiosity but I have always loaded a previous save after that.

I like the Dawnguard a lot; they're such a varied group of oddballs. I enjoyed the "getting the old gang back together" feel of the recruitment missions and I'm curious about how exactly the four most prominent members know each other and the crazy adventures they presumably had back in the day.

I have never actually completed the game's Main Quest. Not because I am a Noob, but because I can't ever get into the game enough to actually try to complete it.

That's not bad. I have never completed Morrowind's MQ. I've completed the expansions, but the farthest I could ever get until losing interest was the quest where you had to go to all the Ashlander camps and Great Houses to become reconized as the Nevarene.

I have also never done Boethiea's daedric quest. I just find that boring too.

Thank you. Finally someone agrees with me.
I never have finished the College of Winterhold questline. I'm working through it with my Dunmer mage, but...

Me too, I have always been so close but then I play another game, and then start a new Skyrim character.

Dyed-in-wool evil is boring. That's why villains never should be dyed-in-the-wool evil.

Notable villains think they are doing the right thing. Interesting villains think they are trying to redeem themselves.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

You are missing out. The Dawnguard has a strong allure mid-way through.

It's true. I'll get to about lvl. 25 or so before I get bored with leveling. Then it's, or used to be, Oghma Infinium all the way to the top.

Several quests I haven't completed because they're the "collect this many x" type: Stones of Barenziah, etc.

I've never had the Skull of Corruption because I like Erandur too much and I don't care about achievements. I've never had the Ebony Mail because I almost never make Heavy Armor characters and I haven't felt the urge to sacrifice anybody.

I've never killed Heimskr or Nazeem or other unpopular characters on purpose, I just don't really kill NPCs I dislike. I only find Erikur and Maven foul enough to want them to go away, but I've never bothered disappearing them from my game.

I haven't played an Imperial or Nord character (in any TES game), and I've never been a Stormcloak.

I like followers, but there are several followers out there I haven't taken out because I'm not interested in yet another Nord warrior. Or because they're easy to miss, like the Orcs who tend to get killed by the giant outside their stronghold.

All creatures feed off of other creatures. You think that cow died wanting to become your steak?
