Anyone here ignored the main quest?

Post » Wed Dec 07, 2011 11:55 pm

My character is level 40 and is close to earning her first 100 skill in alchemy. She needs to talk to Jarl Balgruf about what to do about that dragon that destroyed the tower ( the battle where Irileth assists you ). I've been meaning to get around to the MQ, but kept getting sidetracked, and it's just been a fun challenge for me to get powerful and put all the eggs in one alchemy basket. My character can't stop making money because there are not enough shops to buy those 1k potions she's been experimenting on. Anyone out there like this? What have you accomplished while ignoring Skyrim's troubles?

I've only gone about a quarter to a third of the way into the main quest line. I plan on advancing it very slowly and having as much content completed as possible before I finish the main story.

I don't even know what the main quest is anymore. That's how much I've ignored it, I've done the main quest, in MINUS.

Finished the main quest last night at lvl 31 and feel kind of relieved it`s out the way. Now my main character can continue with his adventures in Skyrim without hopefully wading through Dragons every 5 minutes.
The frequency of encounters with them was just getting ridiculous to be honest :)

First time I didn't and I regretted it. I am this time around because I don't need dragons harassing me while I'm doing other things.

why do you even care about that?

You are welcome to collect what you percieve as flaws in other people, but why do you really have to share it?

I think I was about 20 hours in before I killed my first Dragon. I was not really interested in the main quest until then as the huge map was too inviting.

Love it.
