what was your most frustrating moment in skyrim?

Post » Fri Aug 23, 2013 6:41 pm

my most frustrating moment happened today while doing the quest the world eater's eyrie i'm near the portal to sovngarde and i've been killed by death lords about three times after the first time they seem to know where i'll come out and are on me in no time, but using the sanguine rose is really useful going through the Skuldafn Temple.

When I played a linear quest that is unable to provide player choices, but instead lock the player into a path to complete the quest. There were no alternative solutions, which I think a modern RPG game should provide to suit your character.

For example, if you join the Companions.
Spoiler
You have to become a werewolf, you can't betray the Companions and join the Silver Hand and fight against the werewolves.


And if you join the Thieves.
Spoiler
You have to give your soul to Nocturnal to fight against Mercer Frey (and for no particulary good reason either).


A number of Daedra quests and misc quests are like these too.

Also, I would have loved to be able to clean up Riften and make it a lawful city and get rid of Maven Black-Briar, but it's not possible.

^^^

I stopped the Thieves Guild quest for the reason given in your spoiler.

"Also, I would have loved to be able to clean up Riften and make it a lawful city and get rid of Maven Black-Briar, but it's not possible. "

A dragon attacking Solitude, although the three dragons attacking Falkreath comes a very close second (and that one happened a lot), or even the dragon that usually attacks Riverwood when my character is like level 10.

I hate losing NPC's, so just keep replaying it till I am happy. The Riverwood one the first time I gave up, it was only the first day of playing Skyrim back in November 2011, I was just plain getting too frustrated, so Alvor and his wife stayed dead for being stupid enough to keep getting killed. The next two characters managed to keep them alive, I had more practice by then. But still it was frustrating.

The vampire attacks on towns were no where near as frustrating as those dragons, at least for me.

Most frustrating moment?

"Never done an honest day's work in your life for all that coin you're carrying. Eh, lad".

Especially when I just visit Maramal for the Amulet of Mara.

Them forced quests...Brynjolf is an epic character, but I really hate the guy on a non-thief character.

Also, set the certain dunmer free! He's behind bars for too long now!
