The question is "should quests have any unique rewards". By unique I mean not accesable anywhere else. I dont mean a sword with a bonus as long as you can find an equivelent in a dungeon. What i mean is things like dragon shouts. Should you be able to use them without any quests. Oy items with unique properties. Such as shapeshifting rings. Or even just access to houses you can buy. Even joining factions. Or access to encanting and spell creation altars. Whatever.

Stating the question clearly:
Should you get rewards for quests that you can't find anywhere else.

Iquestion explanation:

main quest handles any rewards gathered in the main quest. Be it dragon shouts, being able to design your own house, whatever.

guilds and factions handles anything related to them. Unique items, even guild ranks.. Access to libraries or altars. etc.

side quests is pretty much everything else.

Voting information.

1. If you feel that it should only happen to a certain extent pick yes. The poll is about viewpoints. even if you feel that way you still would feel that it should happen. Even if its just one item pick yes.

2. if you dont care than dont vote. Its a waste of time putting a dont care button when it doesnt affect the results. And it wouldnt affect you one way or the other.

ps the poll title is the question. Not the thread.

Yes Yes and Yes I think unique rewards are good for most all quests

I completely disagree. Why should people who enjoy questing get access to more of the content than people who dont. I'm not advocating to not have quest rewards. Just that they shouldnt only be available to those who like questing.

Heres a summarry of my arguments in a fua [fruquently used arguments] form.


Whats the point of questing ifyou dont get a reward.
The nswer is simple. If you quest jut for the reward than you can still quest to get it. I'm not advocating not haveing them as quest rewards. Just alternate ways to achieve them if you dont quest. heres an example.A quest might lead you to a wall of dragon shouts after fighting a dragon. Your exploration might lead you to a dragons den. you can a. ignore until the quest comes up. b. just plain ignore it. c. sneak past the dragon. d. fight the dragon. e. wait until the dragon goes to attack a village and just walk in.

Theres no point in questing if you can get the rewards somewhere else
If you quest just for unique rewards and theres others ways to get those rewards than I would think you'd be overjoyed.




if you like questing as part of the fun than quest just for that. if you quest just for the rewardd than I'm sure another way might be more fun. If not than questing is still an option. If you like both thn just do the quest as normal.

What kind of question is this? Of course there should be unique artifacts you can only obtain through quests. Why wouldn't there be? It would be nonsense if there weren't!

There should also be unique artifacts you can only obtain by going out and finding them.

Agreed. If NPC X promises to give you Awesome Sword for getting him 4 dragon dungs, you should be able to kill him and grap Awesome Sword from his cold dead hands. Or thieve it. But not randomly find it in a dungeon somehow. If you're a chivalrous "good" character who doesn't like questing, then too bad.

Of course not in just a random dungeon. And who craes about chivilrous. But why'd you vote yes if you feel that way.

Yes but they should probably be from more difficult quests

Also, they should not enchant them. Bethesda somehow comes up with some of the worst enchantment ideas so just let me do it myself.

maybe I should just hope a modder with the same opinion as me comes along. It wouldnt hurt someone if they voted no would it.


But that leesens the chance of me doing the quests. The more difficult they are the more I will be encouraged not to do them. Its not like I dont enjoy a challenge. Its just that I feel that doing something I hate being combined with a greater challange increases the hate. Which increases the chance of me being bored halfway through and ignoring the rest of the quest.
