Skyrim logic

>dragon flaps his way down and attacks
>the conjuration master and restoration mage keep saying ”my money’s on the big one” as I’m scooting around the courtyard dodging fire breath
>get the dragon down about 1/4 HP

>the 2 mages join the fight

That's not even the worst part about that questline
>get to Markarth
>know about the assassin
>kill him before he even pulls off his dagger
>somehow this doesn't alert the guards because he is already marked as guilty as you enter the city
>regardless of what you do an NPC will force a letter down your pockets that cannot be removed until you follow the questline
>killing the NPC (who is obviously shady) alerts the guards however
It's part of the reason why I never go to Markarth. Fuck that noise.

you can kill him right before the attack animation and the woman who was assaulted thanks you for it

just dont talk to him
god forbid you have a weightless letter in your totally important scrolls folder

Show me on the doll where the quest broke for you.

try reading a post before responding

I've never had it break on me, but I've also always used the Unofficial Patch.

I had zero bugs in that quest but then when I bought Hjerim Hall and decorated it, the fucking furniture from the previous state was still there clipping into the new furniture. I deleted that save and decided to side with the Empire.

Usually whenever you need to ask Jorleif for help.

It was at least an improvement over Oblivion's massive letdown.

Truth. Morrowind > Skyrim > Literal Feces > Oblivion.

For me the blood was completely absent.

You will get all kinds of dumb letters. If you charm bandits before killing them, you will sooner or later receive letters of inheritance from your good friend Bandit. You can have a Jarl hire assassins to kill you because you stole 5 Septims from him.

shame siince Markarth is the best city in terms of writing and quests which is still trash because Bethesda quality but somewhat good

Those ones are the best. I've heard some guy got one from Paarthurnax once.

It's kind of a weird, fucked up sort of prostitution really.

I always hire the guy from the Riften Inn to be my sacrifice for Boethiah.

Why would you sacrifice the only actually useful follower for hire, user? It makes no sense.

Because he's a megacunt with his chain lightning.

thats not Rayya though

I always sacrifice whoever I marry. In fact, the only reason why I marry anyone is to sacrifice them for that mission. I even installed mod once that let me re-marry again if my partner died, and I still went to sacrifice my new partners to Boethiah's shrine even though I already completed the mission. All of my playthroughs in fact are me marrying my partners, only to instantly find different way to kill him. I went as far as installing marriage mod for Serana, only so I can add her to my collection of casualities by removing her special snowflake flag and sacrificing her to Boethiah, Molag's arch rival. It was beautiful.

I do the same. I basically marry someone, only to kill them in next few minutes.

>anons actually play Skyrim without a mod that removes level scaling

Attached: 1536535755743.jpg (266x317, 15.63K)

Skyrim wasn't designed to be played without level scaling, so no i don't

the way skyrim handles level scaling is pretty good

Alva, the vampire, left me an inheritance. I literally never talked to her before I cut her head off along with her vamp pals. As soon as I left the cave a courier came in, past all the dead bodies and militia guys standing outside, to give me 400 gold from the woman who had killed 3 people and planned to salems lot the rest of the town.

Oh and all this happened because I just wanted a fish hatchery.

Skyrim also wasn't designed for your character to have D cups and a dripping wet pussy but here we are.

this It just make a mess of the game, fills it with HP sponges, and since level scaling isn't that bad in Skyrim I leave it be.

>be level 1
>walk into ancient burrow filled with draugr that have been training for untold millenia
>walk out just fine
>encounter injured dragon sent by the god of death and rebirth himself to slay you
>kill it with the local rozzers just fine
look whatever excuse you have for why this makes sense in the lore doesn't matter to me. it's boring to experience what should be late game experiences in the first hour. bethesda pulled the same shit in fallout 4 when you kill a deathclaw and get your power armor right off the bat. In both cases I feel like there's nowhere else to go. Why should I progress through the game if everything I encounter is going to be appropriately scaled down or up to meet me? I will never be required to master the combat system lol or get creative with items, skills, and magic to overcome unique challenges.

Does anyone have the screencap of user accidentally marrying Derkeethus

Skyrim actually has minimum levels for dungeons and certain enemy types. It's just that once you pass the minimum it starts scaling up with you.
The only problem with this is that the minimum is generally too easy.

>draugr training
>not lying asleep for ages

>dragons
>lvl 1
literally who

Some dungeons are at least x level whether you are or not. That first dragon will fuck you up, even at level 15, if you're not careful/prepared (assuming you're playing on master, of course; you do play on master since you're not a whiny pleb, right user?). Besides, it's the weakest type of dragon out of like, what eight?

Absolutely based.

Assasssins are sent by her sister

>he doesn't know about legendary difficulty mode
Literally made the game fun again.

they added that after the last time I played, I think

Not him but I reinstalled not long ago and wasn't even aware it was a thing, wha does it do in particular?

I think thats all it does, yeah
makes you use everything you can to your advantage

But bro, making every fights take eons isn't difficult, it just make shit tedious

I was playing Skyrim about half a year back, got like 120 mods for it. I didn't get any sex mods or anything, I'm not a coomer, closest thing was like hair/eye mods to make characters look better. Anyways I was playing it and surprisingly enjoying it, got through the thieves guild and then realized I was at 90 sneak and maxed out my ranged, immediately realized I've done this same build like 3 times since Skyrim first came out, and haven't played it since

This is why I use custom difficulty, where everyone dishes out huge damage so resists are actually important but the fights don't take seven fucking days cause you actually do damage.
The only problem with this is that you still have to basically willingly ignore smithing and enchanting to actually enjoy the game.

crafting skills are for little armed elves and bretons. they make good hammer, but real power lies with man who swing hammer.
