Here's a thing that has been bugging me and I've only recently figured out. It feels like in Skyrim quests come to you rather than you go finding quests. I'm not saying this is a constant problem but it always feels odd when you go into a town or city and right the moment you enter them you get flooded by npcs with life problems and quests. Like Riften for example, I entered the town and i think after a few mins i already had like 4-5 quests not because i went looking for them but because they just rubbed them on me.
In Oblivion, although with its own issues i had to look for quests and even though they didn't come as fluently as in Skyrim and with the best voice acting i would always have one-two things to do. In Skyrim its hard to keep your quest log clean unless you go refusing to do stuff for everyone who you would eventually be doing anyway.. so i can never define priorities because sometimes you get multiple urgent requests.
It not only detracts from the attention you may give to a single quest it also makes it feel like your doing a list of shores. Its my opinion..

I kind of agree.

But I don't think its a quest number or frequency issue.
More a lack of decent journal issue.

I like it. I'm usually just wandering around and whenever i start think "hey could do a quest right now" i have plenty of them in my journal to choose from.

nothing wrong with realising you are about to hit a quest and exiting out of dialogue. at best you get nothing in your journal, at worst you get a reminder to talk to X person.

there are few quests that are just forced onto you before you know what hit you.

Yeah, that's what i mean.. who the heck goes "I feel like doing a quest! Let me pull out my list of to-dos." it just stops being a quest doesn't it? I would rather have focus on something and try to enjoy the most of it without thinking that i should have gone rescue the kid who has been kidnapped instead of the dude who is about to serve as bear meal (just made that up).

Plus the game itself doesn't give much attention to each quest individually since most of the time the only way to figure out where you have to go is by opening the world map and see the way-point because npcs decided that they don't have to describe directions to you. Like literally I've had npcs tell me, go do this to fellow "name" and bring me the "object" and like.. not giving me anymore information as to.. where he is? How do i get there? Anywhere i can look for information? Just nothing..

This, only benefit of Skyrim system is that you can show location of multiple quests and select an nearby location.

Weakness is that you have quests you have no idée that is about because a 6 world description.
Worse you have heavy quest items you can not put away and no description of the item in any quest, luckily Skyrim don't crash then you alt tab to google the name.

Yea, i have a whole list of quests now, and when i go back to do the quest mostly im "what is this quest about? :blink: " although having more quests is better than none i suppose. Gives me some incentive to go dungeoning lol

I'm not saying you should have trouble finding quests or anything.. just let the player engage more himself on each one of them.

yea siting on 25 quests + another 30 misc quests which just don't seem to do down ( i have over 60 "greyed out" quests in my log).
the map it jsut an array of target markers and if i am in firten ie in a corner the edges of the map is just a constant line of "of screen objective markers"
