I have sunk so many hours into the game known as Skyrim it is just ricockulous, I took a week off school because I couldn't bear the thought of not completing all the guilds.

Yup I'm pretty much addicted, and for that i salute Bethesda, very rarely have I played a game as amazing and perfect as this, and I play a ton of games.

But what I want to slap Bethesda in the balls for is this, I set out to get the Oblivion Walker achievement which requires you to collect 15 daedric artifacts. So for hours and hours and hours I set out to do all the daedric quests and accumulate a hoard of artifacts.

After I had collected all of them I had a boner, but no achievement. I started to panic and searched the web for an answer, turns out during the quest 'A Daedra's Best Friend' your not supposed to kill Barbas as he gives you the artifact, I killed him and assumed the Rueful Axe that you are given was indeed a Daedric artifact.

I cannot tell you how much I raged when I found this out, all those hours of grinding and grinding to get the 15 artifacts and the rueful axe does not count? How the hell was I supposed to know that?

Seriously WTF Bethesda? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME! .....I WOULD HAVE HAD YOUR BABBIES!!!!!!

FML, PLEASE PATCH THIS [censored] TODD HOWARD, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :brokencomputer:

Killing a quest related NPC has consequences?

THIS IS MADNESS, HOW DARE YOU, TODD HOWARD?!

Seriously tho, shoulda seen that one coming.

Well, Barbas did warn you about accepting his suggestions

Why should they patch it? It's not a bug, it's not broken.

Many of the quests do have multple outcomes based on your decisions. In this case you chose the way of violence and not the way of common sense. ie: The easy path instead of one that required a little thinking about the situation.

As far as I know, the rueful axe was never a Daedric Artifact anyway, so of course it won't count.

Aren't there 16 artifacts though? That's what I've heard, so you can fail once and still get the achievement.

Spoiler ahead:

Some people scare me.

Go outside.

Nope, it's not a bug, it's a feature.

Don't do what Vile says!

Suits you right, dog killer.

Yeah that's what you get for killing a poor little doggie!

Indeed. Some people scares me too.

Dude, go breath some oxygen. Take a break. Seriously.

Yes, there are 16. I also believe there are more 'missable' ones than the Clavicus Vile mission (Mehrunes Razor and one of the staff-related quests at least). I just got this achievement last night, and I still don't have the skeleton key, so you can definitely be short one of the artifacts.

Thats the thing, I missed getting the skull, so I had to get every other one for this achievement

Im an idiot :facepalm:

Wait, you killed him? How coud you? You don't deserve anything!

Did you at least try to loot the dog?

bad news for you m8 alot of the daedra artifact quests are exactly the same you havea choice of kiling someone sometimes leading to no or a diferent reward the ring of hircine / hide of something something one also

I can only assume that Barbas attacked you and force you to kill him right? There would be no other reason to do it.

That being the case, what a terrible game bug. You should report it.

That's what you get for killing a dog, Dog killer.

:confused:




:cryvaultboy:



:shakehead:

How do you get the Skeleton Key?

what are these "achievements" you speak of and why are they important?

anywho, killing Barbas is bad. He's such a good dog (and much more bearable after "quieter barking" mod)

Is this the dog you encounter near Falkreath?

You murdered his conscience. Nice going, hero.

The Rueful Axe doesn't count?!!!!!!!!!!!! I just did this quest and killed Barbas and it doesn't count?! Well, I have to say I'm with the OP this really svcks. The official guide said something like not killing Barbas gives a leveled amount of gold why would anyone think that the Daedric artifact doesn't count for the Daedric artifact quest? I guess I can't mess up anymore of those quests.

What do you get if you don't kill Barbas that counts?

EDIT: I have multiple saves but I'm pretty sure I already saved over this one. So mad right now.
