The Unofficial Skyrim Trivia Game!

[Тeatime]

Hopefully we all know how to play this one but, for your convenience, here are some rules.

1) Don't post a new question until the current one has been answered.
2) The person who came up with the right answer traditionally gets to make up the next question.
3) It's ok to ask for clues but accept that the question maker might not want to say too much.
4) Don't complain about questions being too hard.


Also, since Skyrim is still very fresh this thread is bound to be littered with spoilers so remember to use those tags!
But if you're highly sensitive to spoilers it might be wise to avoid this thread altogether for a while since it might be hard to come up with completely spoiler free questions.

Now for the first question!

Criminal scum! Is nothing sacred?
He did what I can not.
Slayer of innocence! Sorrow's vanguard!
He slew one of the immortal breed..

What quest is this about?
If no one gets it in a while I have an additional stanza but take your time to ponder and interpret what there is.

Spoiler:

Is it the main quest?
My guess is probably wrong, but no one else knew, so what is there to be ashamed of?
Crinimal Scum=You start off escaping from execution
He did what I can not=The gray beards sent him becuase they couldn't
Slayer of innocence! Sorrow's vanguard!=?
He slew one of the immortal breed..=He can slay immortals

[Trelares]

I would guess Laid to rest, from morthal. Because you encounter the ghost of a child and nobody can kill children .

[Тeatime]

Sorry imperialkhajiit, but it is indeed wrong.

It's a good guess Trelares but not quite right.
Your answer seems to fit all but the first line.

[azuarc]

I thought we weren't going to start this up for a little while to give people a chance to play the game. I, personally, will be staying away on account of the spoilers, until I finish my first playthrough.

[Тeatime]

Hence the disclaimers in the first post.

[Cessair]

there should a no riddles rule, just straight up trivia

[Frost Mage]

Everything is easily answered via the wiki, therefore, riddles are needed.

[Sloady]

I get the feeling this quest is about killing a vampire who masquerades as an innocent. Am I right?

[Тeatime]

Nope.

A hint: it actually has nothing to do with vampires.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

It makes me think of Sinding the werewolf.

[Тeatime]

*ding* We have a winner!

Full breakdown:

Spoiler:

The riddle presents two voices, one is the player's own, mine in this case, and the other is the townspeople's.

Criminal scum! Is nothing sacred? Establishes that we're dealing with a criminal.
He did what I can not. Who has done something that the player cannot.
Slayer of innocence! Sorrow's vanguard! Establishes the criminal's crime, the slaying of a child in this case. I.e, children are often thought of as innocent and sacred to some degree.
He slew one of the immortal breed.. Possibly the biggest hint in the riddle. There are a very limited number of "immortals" in the game and children are meant to always be unkillable by the player while some other immortals, like vampires, can be killed.

[Dark Lord Cam]

Congratulations on the first Skyrim trivia victory. You get two bunnies but you can only keep one. Choose well. The bunny you pick will be made into a soup!

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Wait, what?! I never even checked back because I never thought I guessed correctly. Well then, I guess I have to make a riddle...

(I choose bunny 2)

Within me I hold many people,
Including intrepid warriors and a mysterious mage or two.
I house the hardened loyalist and the rebellious patriot.
As well as an old legacy.

So I ask you,

Who am I?

[AeraDunmerMoon]

Is it Sovngaard?

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Nope.

[The-Shadow-One]

Azura's Star?

[Imp]

skyrim?

[Taters]

Whiterun?

[Trelares]

One of the cities could fit quite well but it is hard to say which one.

Maybe Whiterun as the poster above me said, so I guess Windhelm.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

Jorrvaskr?

Maybe Windhelm?


The Minor Maze?

[Imp]

The possibilities are endless!

[Arch-Mage Matt]

skyrim?

You're actually right. I wanted to make the answer so obvious nobody would think of it. Seeing you just said it as a joke, I suppose I did OK.

[Imp]

Wow, I was debating on putting that up, that was a good one. I spent a little bit on this one, this is my first trivia win, therefore this is my first riddle. So here is is:

Blue, Green and red.
Exclude me and you are dead.

You’ll hear a powered shout.
Then look up and turn about.

To kill or con a con
To endure or flee a fight
I define what is wrong from what is right
