My friend told me today that there are certain quests where you have a choice on how to complete quests. I already knew this since I have been playing other ES games too but then he also told me that there quests where the wrong choice gives you crappy items while the right choice gives you skill points. Is this true? If it is, I won't be able to enjoy the quests and complete them the way I wan't. There should not be the right way to complete these quests. All choices should be just as good but if the one of the choices gives skill points and the other choice gives gear that you will outlevel tomorrow, then there obviously is the right choice and the wrong choice. There is no way I would willingly choose gear over skill points.

I would love to complete quests as I go without any guides but it seems that I am forced to read guides so I don't gimp myself. Do we already have a list of these quests that reward skill points for the right choices? If not, I just have to avoid quests till we do. I am really dissapointed if this is true

That's nice, dear.

I have never heard of this before and is sounds too stupid to be true but even if IF it is you will have more then enough skill points if you just play the game you want to from getting levels, completing quests and collecting skyshards.

All 3 of you should go read this......http://tamrieljournal.com/skill-points-in-eso/

In the latest reddit AMA, Zenimax confirmed that there’s 300+ skill points available at launch. This is in line with the information we have. I suspect that the reason they haven’t come out with an actual number is because reportedly you can gain a few additional skill points based on how you decide to advance in some of the later http://tamrieljournal.com/skill-lines/guild-skills/mages-guild/ quests. Choice matters, my friends!

How dare they.

yeah, missing like 10 skill points out of 300 would be just HORRIBLE. no, not even 10, you cant miss that many, and most skill point quests dont have a choice on what to give you and are main faction quests, which only have(usually) one choice.

Exactly.

OP, end quests the way you want. This is a TES game, that's kinda the point, there is no absolute right or wrong way to go.

Well I wan't to end my quests the way that gives me most skill points. If this was regulard TES game, I would not care since I would not be competing against anyone. It does not matter what you do in singleplayer games but it does matter in multiplayer game. You all talk like it is no big deal but we don't even have all the skill trees available yet and those 300 points won't be enough to max everything at launch when we don't have dark brotherhood- or thieves guild skills. EVERY skill point counts to me as I can't max out everything.

do you have to be so "efficient" just because its an MMO? why? why not just enjoy it and play how YOU want to play, not the way that gives the most rewards?

also, UNDOUBTEDLY there will be more skill points after launch.

If you need every single skill point to compete, maybe this isn't the game for you.

Having more skill points lets you play less "efficent" as you have more skill choices that gives you more flexibility. At some point those extra skill points will matter as the points will run out.

You make no sense. OK, how about this. If you don't need every single skill point, maybe this isn't the game for you? Makes just as much sense.

Obsess over it then, have fun.

If it's timed, I don't want it.

I know the ESO Trials have timers for purposes of being placed on a leader board. Hopefully that is just for show and the timers mean absolutely nothing otherwise.

Timers. Are. Bad.

You don't need all skill points to have a competitive build. Those 10 skill points won't make the difference in any fight. Bad players are bad trolls.

Is there going to be a way to go to war and kill members of the thieves guild and the dark brotherhood? Seriously both those factions can get get F'd.

It is not all about competitive build but also about having more variety. If I have used up all my skill points, I can't become a Vampire to try new things just for fun, well I can if I spend 100 hours on alt or very large sum of gold for respec and that would also mean that I lose some skills to gain Vampire skills or whatever skill I feel like I would like to use.

Topic can be closed since I seem to be the only person who does not like quests rewarding skill points for some choices and crap from other choices. I will just read the quests guides and be done with it.

Good.

But before you go, one clarification, you lose nothing but cash. Not EXp oo Skill points or character points are lost in a respec.

See ya!

Never heard seen or imagined such a thing.

The rewards are set, you don't change them by the way you complete the quest.

what does that have to do with this post?

There were a couple of quests I did in Beta that gave a skillpoint in addition to a bit of loot, but that was on a lvl 19 character who had done a lot of quests. I don't recall making any choice of action during the quests.

Actually you just did, on the link of this thread, ain't that something

Assuming this is true, no doubt other people will discover them before you get to them. Just look it up on something like ESOHead to see which way you need to choose to get the skill points, if that is what's most important to you.

Some people want the full amount of skill points regardless if you need them or not.

In a deck building game, it's important to have a level playing field between players. We should all receive the same number of skill points, regardless how we progress through the story. The game mechanics and the story narrative have nothing to do with each other; any link the devs have made between them is completely arbitrary, and unnecessary.
