strategy guides? : V - Skyrim

Radiant Story isn't going to create unique quests - it's only going to create a finite range of possible quests, depending on some variables. I have little doubt that the UESP will eventually have all the possible combinations listed, though that might be a bit much for a physical book. It's entirely possible though that an actual book will also end up listing all the possible combinations, in a sort of table form if nothing else.

I Agree, I myself plan on geting a strategy guide/game enhancer

I like having a guide not really for quests but more like a reference to points of interest,well what i consider points of interest.

A guide to the random Radiant quests would probably just be a list of the possible quests, and suggestions on how to trigger them (what type of people to talk to, what level ranges, what locations, etc) combined with a set of maps of all the dungeons.

"Quest: Rescue The Mayor's Daughter. Can be triggered after Stage 3 of Main Quest, in any town that you've completed X sidequests in. For whichever dungeon Radiant Story picks, refer to the Dungeon Map chapter. Reward: Firefrost (magic sword, leveled)"

...or something like that.

As an aside, the gamesas games that I've played (MW, OB, FO3) are some of the few RPGs that I haven't bought or used a guide for. I still have no idea where most of the unique loots are in OB, or all the unique weapons & bobbleheads in FO3. The "free-roam exploration" aspect of the game, since it makes "100% Completion" a silly goal, just seems to make knowing all the secrets unimportant to me. Hmm.

I imagine the new radiant story wont change much of the main quest line so you should be good to use a guide for that most likely. But ya seems like it could be almost impossible to write one up for everything.
