What's that one quest you never quite got around to....

Post by WillieMakeit »

But just finally finished? I've been playing Skyrim for quite some time now, but never did the Forsworn Conspiracy. It was kinda lame if you ask me, but what are some of yours?

I have yet to complete the Dark Brotherhood questline. I've stumbled through the Thieves Guild, blazed through the Companions even once, and the College gets done as a matter of course. But I dread what lays ahead for the denizens of the Falkreath Sanctuary should I move ahead.
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.

I think I never did the "destroy the dark brotherhood" quest...

Ironically enough, I have. Just not with Casandra at the forefront (Victor the Grumpy Redguard had the job).

Not quite quests, but getting the master criminal and legend achievements.

Yep. Never did "Master Criminal" either. I also never sided with the Volikhar in Dawnguard. One of these days I'll make a new character and do that side of the quest line.

I have done both sides, but I rarely side with the Dawnguard. Isran is like an angsty teenager with a hate boner, which is definitely NOT attractive after age 20.

Hmm. I had never thought of him that way, but now that you say it, I agree. And I'll go one further and posit that the whole Dawnguard questline was a little too melodramatic. Serana particularly. If I wanted to learn about a Vampiress's daddy issues, I would have just read "Twilight".

But the side-quests, the awesome final assault on Volikhar Keep, and the added locations - especially Forgotten Vale and Arkngthamz - more than made up for the histrionics. And then who can forget waking up in Redwater Den...

I've started it, but I've never finished the Imperial Legion quest line. For some reason, it just didn't feel right after having completed the Stormcloak quest line a few times--plus, it's pretty much the same set of quests but for the Legion.

Actually, same could be said for the Dawnguard quest line: I've only gone through the Volkihar side of things, so it's hard to get into the other side--although, at least it does give you a few different notable perks.

Ditto. Seems a shame to waste probably one of the best quest lines in the game.

"Investigate the ruins of Arkngthamz" had been in my journal since very near the beginning of the game. About a month ago, I finally forged a crown. Last night, I actually stopped by a standing stone.

Shortly thereafter, I found a woodcutter's axe and chopped wood for the very first time.
His name was Emer Dareloth.

I've only done the legion side once, as a roleplay. Stick it to the man.

Bringing the Thieves Guild back to it's former glory. The repetition of those generated quests probably made me lose interest halfway through.

I've never done the Stormcloak questline. I can't force myself to do it. I always back out before taking the oath and go back to my beloved Legion.

Don't tell me that your heart is breaking,
Don't tell me that you feel alone,
Just run until your legs start shaking,
Don't stop until you hit the floor!
And I hope one day,
We find our way,
'Til then we got an awful lot to lose,
So get up and move!

Ditto. I can kick Jerkface's butt from here to last August, but I just can't get past 30-50 or so side jobs. And I have mods for the very purpose of making it easier!

What about "Pain in the Necklace"? I can't find the patience to hunt down every last East Empire Strongbox on Solstheim, and I fail to see the point, because I already have like half a million septims.
One thing I never understood about Alchemy is how you're supposed to chew diamonds, unless you're Kanye West.
