Any Bleak Locked Quests Before Falls Barrow?

Post » Wed Apr 02, 2014 11:57 am

Are there any quest that I CAN"T do unless I do Bleak Falls Barrow??? I mean, obviously I won't be able to do the MQ, but can I do all of the Dark Brotherhood and Theives Guild? My character is a kinda " Commoner" wanna be with a lust for blood and murder. Being Dovahkiin isn't really his style.

That thread title :lol:

Anyways, as far as I know (I could be wrong), you won't be able to progress very far into the main quest and it's associated nonsense if you don't do BFB, but other than that, you should be fine.

I don't think so, no - if you are on PC there's at least one mod where you can turn dragons and/or word walls off completely (or reactivate them later in the game) and it seems not to block anything else (Skyrim Unbound, if you're interested - Workshop only). Oh, generally speaking you can't do the Civil War without at least starting off the MQ, I seem to remember that Skyrim Unbound is meant to make it possible but I've never tried as I don't really like the CW enough to have tested it!

You also won't be able to do the civil war.

It is stupid. It's one the things I most dislike about Skyrim. I hope they never do anything like it again.

I agree... I mean they should push you towards the main quest, but not making it almost mandatory for you to do it. Besides, the civil war doesn't even affect the MQ

Depending on when you do the CW, it can affect the MQ.

Can't fully complete the civil war questline, you can do up to Balgruff.

Can't do Dragonborn's Main Quest, you lose access to the Skaal and a couple of other dungeons although you can still access the island. There's also a Dwenmer ruin quest that can still be done without the main quest, you just have to go to an extra Dwenmer ruin.

You can't do the quest that involves the Alkir, that quest only unlocks after Bleak Falls Barrow.

You can't do Mephala's quest, that unlocks after you kill your 1st dragon.

You can't collect all the Stones of Barenziah because one of them is in the Thalmor Embassay.

You can't get the House in Whiterun, you also can't become Thane Of Whiterun or Thane Of Windhelm without going to Bleak Falls Barrow.

I think that's all the major stuff unless I'm forgetting anything. It's definitely a design philosophy that I despise.

The stone is in the cave exit after you jump down, so you can still get it without doing the MQ you just have to find the unmarked cave.

It doesn't start until you're recognized as Dragonborn.
