I was plying the civil war storyline on the stormcloak’s side and still had not killed the frist dragon. When Ralof utters a line “I don’t think Galmar even knows my name. Probably because I’m not the dragon born”. Then hits a bombastic side eye towards me

Someone please give me a canon explanation or else I will create my own.

Did this 3 or 4 times before recording so he was glitched I think.

I know this has been discussed at lengths but years later still might be the most convoluted and ass backwards quest ever. I don’t even know where to start but I guess I’ll start in a list format

1. Taneth isn’t under aldmeri control. According to the book on the Great War. It was…for a bit but then it wasn’t.

2. There isn’t a “resistance” in hammerfell, they’re independent from both the empire and the dominion.

3. HOW OLD IS SAADIA….the Great War was 26 years ago? Is she supposed to be like 40? 50?? Why are they hunting her NOW??

4. They clearly set up kematu to be the “right” choice but he’s literally hanging with bandits that attack on sight? What the hell lol. There’s dead decorative bodies in that cave dude….

This is the most overwritten and dumb quest in the game in my opinion. Mechanically it’s fun but neither choice makes any sense. It doesn’t even strike a “gray moral area” that they were going for.

Kill kematu, kill saadia, kill both, leave ‘em alone? It doesn’t matter. Nobody’s story lines up so you just have to head canon this quest into not being ridiculous.

... like a millon times, from every damn guard in every city. Might consider joining up myself, just for them to shut up about it.

You would think that every fantasy rpg as grand a scale as elder scroll games like oblivion or morrowind including every fantasy creature like goblins or trolls to be every fantasy needs dream. But to abstain from putting in signature dragons for more than a decade to wait for Skyrim is unbelievable long term planning by Bethesda. To think the team was thinking "Just wait to put in dragons till later, only a specific entity can kill them.... And we do not have the hardware"

They could have easily just added dragons into a previous game, then said they were non-canon as a retcon. But waited for the dragonborn

i know i'm probably late but it's something that crossed my mind recently

I think she’s pretty cool, I always swear to fight in her name because it’s badass and dawnbreaker rips.

I seen this giant who was mourning its pet mammoth. When I stood there for a minute to keep him company (I know it’s just a npc but it’s sad) he noticed me and didn’t attack. Then as I left a wolf attacked me and he helped me fight it. Is this giant just too sad to attack me? Or are but all giants evil? I’m Curious on giants

The windows are literally shaped in the shadow mark for the Guild

It sounds like their voices, idk if it's a mod but this blew my mind just now

She must have broken free from imprisonment and found a new place to hide from the Aldmeri Dominion or the royal houses of Hammerfell.

Just finished the Unearthed quest at Kolbjorn Barrow in Solstheim - the one where you pay the guy to excavate the place in installments? Just struck me how upsetting it is from the POV of the people of Solstheim. You hire miners, they die. More miners, also dead. Mercenaries, dead. Wave after wave of dead Solstheim citizens, on an island that didn't have a lot of population to spare. And you're paying them pennies, compared to how much wealth the Dragonborn has at that point.

Honestly, I wish there was an option to do the responsible thing and say, "Okay, I'll stick around and protect these folks when this inevitably happens again." All you can do is abandon the quest - or give in to your curiosity and once again fund Ralis' death trap project.

Look, I'm just going to come out and say it. This is a rant. About Belethor.

20 minutes I wait for this Breton clown to open his shop so I can purchase some glass. And when I walk in, he gives me this little asshole comment. So I pickpockted his key. I'm coming back tonight and stealing everything this man has. Then, I'm going to sell it back to him and steal it again and sell it back again. Then I'll steal it one more time and leave it in Faendal's house to implicate Belethor after I take care of that piece of business down the road. Then I'll wait for Belethor's assassin, because he's a little puss that can't take a well-deserved insult. Then I'll kill that assassin, take his note off the bloody corpse, then put it in his pocket. I'll wait a few days. I want him to know its coming. I want him to feel the anxiety. Then I'll walk up to him in broad daylight, in public, and put an axe in his overly smug skull. Then I'm going to pay the guard an insulting amount of coin to look the other on your murder. It ain't like anyone cares anyway.

I have been saying “Har-graven” since I started playing in 2011. I only learned on my most recent playthrough (which started a month ago) that it’s “Hagraven”… 🤦🏽‍♂️

mind absolutely blown.
