Is my Skyrim bugged?

Post » Tue May 14, 2013 3:36 am

Hey guys. I remember when I played Morrowind, when I was fresh off the boat everyone hated me and [censored] all over me as I walked down the road. Then once I beat the main story or got involved with a guild, everyone worshiped me and stepped aside and praised me. However in Skyrim it seems like no matter what I do nobody recognizes me as a hero when I am around no matter where I am. I could be grand master of the college of winterhold and people at the college still talk to me like I am the new kid.How can I fix my save?

It's not bugged. No one is aware of you defeating Alduin in the afterlife of all places.

What about being the guild master of various guilds?

The Guards will make occasional comments. Don't expect everyone to magically recognize you like in Morrowind or Oblivion.

It seems only the guards occasionally recognize you for being Dragonborn.

Ya, they it is intentional that they do not recognize you even if you are leader of all the guilds.

Slightly off topic, but I find this funny: I remember before Skyrim was announced, people were saying that everyone recognizing who they were instead of a simple greeting when passing by annoyed them. Now people are annoyed that they do not get acknowledged in Skyrim :tongue:

So much for family discounts, huh? :hehe:

Now, I just thought of something. Would it make sense if Bethesda did this on purpose because word does not go around as fast as we are used to IRL? Just a shot in the dark.

Possibly.

I don't mind this non-recognition thing tbh. I kinda like it. It adds to the 'adventurism' of the game. I think with other folk though they want some kind of 'closure/ending', which I can understand.
