Little things are forever.

Hello there! Here's the final chapter in my outcry trilogy poll. This is the last clearly biassed, overly descriptive, fairly leading one. This includes comments on the expansions and mainly handles quest-related topics, so all questions have a spoiler warning this time.

I'm already working on two very different, down-to-earth polls. Now, if I craft them properly, I think they should be quite appealing to a larger number of people. Also, they're about things I did like. Of course, I still hope somebody will enjoy this one as well.

I moved this to CH&S. Please do not post spoilers in General - there is a notification in capital letters pinned at the top of that forum.

I can't vote in your poll, because all my opinions aren't there. But I can answer :smile:

Negotiations - Liked it. I like that there are different ways to approach the Civil war.

Open ending in cw questline - What do you mean by open? Thought it ended just fine. The only things that bug me, are the essential generals, and that Elisif disappears if you play Stormcloak, which breaks the whole Bards' college questline if I want to start that after civil war. I'm normally for choices and consequences, but that's just bad. Elisif is still the jarl of Solitude and should be available after the civil war.

Cidhna mine - one of the better quests.

Daedric artifacts and Dragonpriest masks - the masks are fine (though ugly :tongue: ). The artifacts are underpowered yes. Some of the quests are great, other are annoying, not because the quests themselves are bad, but because of the forced elements - like I have to do Clavicus Vile's quest if I want to shop from the blacksmith in Falkreath :gun: I exit conversation whenever the guards ask me about a dog... And so I get asked about the damn dog whenever I pass by a guard in Falkreath!

Shadowmere - Horse looks good, but why the sixchange? Seems someone doesn't know their lore.

Aetherium Forge - Haven't done the quest.

Forgotten Vale/Soul Cairn - Haven't done.

Hearthfire - Build your own home, huh? No, I'm "building" a prefab home! And what customizing? And the object placement mechanics :banghead: If I want to build a home, the creation kit is a lot better.

Dragon aspect - haven't tried, but looks silly on the pictures.

Bend will - haven't tried, so no opinion.

Negotiations at High Hrothgar were really good. My favorite quest, no contest.

I don't think civil war has an open end at all. One side wins, prepares for war with the Thalmor, guards change outfits.

Cidna Mine quest was really well written and all but it's so incredibly buggy even with unofficial patches that I just hate it and I don't want to do it ever again.

I don't like Daedric quests since the rewards are pure crap and they are little more than fetch quests though. A Night To Remember was fun when I did it the first time though.

I don't care about Shadowmere.

Dawnguard side quests provided nice lore info but as quests they weren't anything special.

I'm impartial to Hearthfire. Kind of a waste of money, but at least there's a way to store all my books.

I liked both Dragon Aspect and Bend Will. The latter I use especially when I want to spare some hostile NPC's life.

Didn't vote because I only know about the first two points.

I found the negotiations at High Hrothgar pretty cool. When it was over, I reloaded just to enjoy Arnheir's, Ulfrics and Tullius voice acting for another time. It was a great idea and it really felt like taking a break from people bashing their heads in because dragons devouring the world are more important.
