>Kill Delphine.
>>737746341Would be a good choice quest. Also play with a no essential npcs mod and you can kill her at any time. The mod is great for immersion
>>737746341way ahead of you
>"YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.......except that dont fucking do that this is my story"
>>737746840In fairness, choosing to not do the quest is a choice.And if you do that, the ending is different.That was always enjoyable about Skyrim. There's no "good guy" option in the House of Horrors, for instance, the best thing you can do is leave the house and never finish the quest.
>>737746341Doin' the biddin' of some big flyin' lizard?Heard them dinosaurs were sittin' on a ol' pile of gold anyway. So the reward oughta be worth it. Dutch needs mo money for the camp anyway.
>kill the only one that actually helped you beat alduinI never understood her motivations
>>737747061She's a woman and expects you to obey her vagina.
>>737747061The Akaviri ethic is to kill dragons. Period.
>>737747061It was only temporary while Alduin was still around.He's a dragon and a threat to Skyrim.
>>737746341The blades did very poor job at antagonizing this guy. He had a massive redemption arc.>b-but muh historylawfag kikes lmao
>>737747206He had been teaching humans the way of the voice for many centuries, and he probably taught Tiber Septim how to properly use his shouts.Delphine has nothing but baseless speculation to drive her desire to kill Paarthurnax. Honestly, the only reason she does this is because Bethesda's hack writers thought they needed some kind of RPG-like decision SOMEWHERE in their RPG.
Esbern
Why?
>>737747061if he turns evil after the dragonborn dies, who's going to stop him?
>>737746341should've found a mod that gave them big tits and i would've kek'd, unfortunate
>kill the human devouring, mass genocider dragon who is just waiting for the chance to do it again>or kill the annoying woman>everyone picks the womanalright
>>737746341yes king
>>737748818>just waiting for the chance to do it againand yet when the most powerful dragon ever returned and the world of Tamriel was at the mercy of the dragons once more... he didnt take that chance to join them in enslaving men again, he helped fight Alduin and empowered a man to stop the dragon threat once and for all.
>>737748536I know she is hot, her face is cute, her skin is smooth and her smile is beautiful, physically perfect but even before she did porn, I just can't like her as a whole.
>>737749532>I just can't like her as a whole.I bet she could take you as a whole. You and three other fellas of a more darker complexion. At the same time.
>>737748536I dream of a threesome with her and Shoeonhead
>>737746341Krosis
>>737746341The Delphine vs Paarthurnax dilemma is like a real-life case study of the lessons taught in How to Win Friends and Influence People.Nothing about what Delphine wants is necessarily wrong, but the way she speaks to you and acts about it instinctively causes the player to want to do the opposite and defy her. Particularly how she makes you feel like an outsider who has betrayed the Blades for not doing it before you even get the chance to do anything!Even just switching the instigator, like the OP does, makes a dramatic difference.
>listening to Akaviri LARPer barbarians who got mogged by the Aldmeri Dominionor>listening to a reformed, now peaceful rockhugger dragon who also has reformed, non-aggressive dragons
>>737750024>plastic slut that can't fuck>grifting hagAbsolute dogshit taste in women, bro
>>737747061woman
>>737747452>He had been teaching humans the way of the voice for many centuriesFor all intents and purposes, any timer for his loyalty starts with Alduin's death, all the time before is meaningless.Paarturnax was Alduin's lesser and any desire for supremacy relies on his defeat.Helping men is helping himself for as long as Alduin exists.
>>737746341As much as I dislike that uppity cunt, I share Gough's stance on dragons.
>>737747003Outer Worlds' only saving grace.Don't like that faggy quest giver? Shoot him in the face.
>>737747206Who cares? MC is a motherfucking Dragonborn and troubles of lesser beings should not concern him, he has more in common with Paarturnax than with any other Skyrim's resident
>>737746341Just 'Thesda things
>>737746341Yes Mario
>>737746341Delphine sucks and the entire second act of the main quest feels like a chore, especially when you know she's just having a woman moment and sending you on a wild goose chase investigating the Thalmor because her first thought at seeing dragons is "I bet the pointy-eared jews are behind this."
>>737752138kill yourself troon
>>737752038>he has more in common with Paarturnax than with any other Skyrim's residentWhy? Even daddy dragon himself has decided that it's better to bestow pieces of his soul on mortals than shitty lizards.This mindset of chosen ones going "beyond" humanity in reaching another already existing type of creature is the weakest, most self loathing kind of writing to happen in fantasy.
>>737746840Starfield was pretty fucking rampant with this shit. What's the point of even calling it an rpg if none of my choices matter and the narrative of the game can't even justify the essential NPC bullshit what you can literally just go into another universe where you didn't do that.
>>737746341The real ending to Skyrim should have been:>Tell the remaining dragons you'll spare them in exchange for their loyalty >Take dragon army to summerset and fuck up the thalmor>Refound the empire and anyone who disagrees can talk to dragon armyOptional sidequests:>Go to atmorra and melt the ice with dragonfire >Go to akavir, bang snake women and high five nerevar
>>737746341>Yes my dearest friend and Mentor, the Blades have betrayed their ancient rights to obey and serve the Dragonborn by refusing to ally with me if I do not kill you. They have gone rogue and are unworthy and unfit of their titles and status as Blades, they are too dangerous to be kept around.
>>737746341>>737752138Why do both the West and East deny me my riteful dragomating?I wish only to lay the dragon.
>>737748906Biding his time until he's undisputed top dog
>>737752138keep your smile straight white man
>>737748906>he didnt take that chance to join themBut he doesn't want to join alduin, he wants to be the top dog himself. It's pretty clear from the way he acts in the end when he takes control of dragonkind after you kill alduin.In helping you, he made sure that his biggest foe goes from being a timeless immortal he knows he'll never overpower to someone whose life is measured in eyeblinks and doesn't even need to fight.
>>737752714He was a bro, he can do whatever he wants when I'm gone. If akatosh has a problem he can shit out another last dragonborn
>>737752515We are the most oppressed minority.
I still find it weird that we didn't get a DLC about destroying the Thalmor
>>737748732The next dragonbornAn armySome heroesElvesWithout alduin to resurrect them the dragons are finite and paarthunax is ancient. The potential paarthunax dragon cult is too low of a chance to br taken seriously and if it started it would be dealt with pretty essily
>>737753049Thalmor are israel coded you cant do that
>>737753049You honestly expected a dlc to deal with the destruction of another province's government?
>>737753118If that government is threatening you yes, specially when you become enemies with it in the main story
This whole "questline writers also design the levels/world" experiment has been an abysmal failure outside of the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion. In almost every occasion, you can't deviate from the script (aka roleplay) because the designer really wants you to experience their super cool story.
>>737752515Give it time, they will eventually reach enlightenment and awaken to dragon spouse superiority.
>>737753221You are focusing on "government". You should be focusing on "another province".
>>737753867Just travel there, we can ride dragons if needed
>>737747061>Dragonborn, please kill the dragon named Ambition Overlord Cruelty, who was second in command to Alduin and is now gathering the remaining dragons under his leadership following Alduin's death. IDK sounds pretty reasonable How did Skyrim manage to have so many quests that people still argue about to this day?
>>737754128It's just this one quest, nobody gives a shit about the others, they are almost all very poorly made.
>>737754128The cunt didn't even say please, she gives you (The Dragonborn) an order, fuck her.
>>737754215>It's just this one questThe civil war?
>>737754220This is the main reason I did not kill Paarthunax, I liked him, he was cool but I wanted to fight him, tho she was kinda bossy and I don't like that.
>>737754239It's more like hypotheticals based off people's headcanons. The quest itself is pretty straightforward, doesn't leave much space for discussion.
>>737751817he was a bro to me and that is all that matters
I have never played Skyrim.
>>737754389You are not missing anything, it's like Fallout without guns
why not let paarthunax take control? I think he'd make a pretty good emperor, he'd fuck the high elves up good.
>>737754424Never did a crossbow playthrough, have you?
>>737754424That's what all my friends tell me.
>>737748732Thats not my problem, he's my friend, shes a FOID
>>737746341I already did...
>>737754465Never used a crossbow...however I used an ice enchanted for stalling and a soul stealer for finishing enemies, plus the Mace of Molag Baal
>>737754862*an ice enchanted bow
>>737754898I'm obsessed with Crossbows. I used to troll /k/ arguing its the perfect assassination weapon even in modern times til I got banned. Good times.
>>737746341Why did so many people on /v/ struggle with killing this dragon? He helped you in the main quest but its not like you were bros
>>737755103To me he was a bro and I had no reason to kill him
>>737746341Say no more!
>>737755103He's nice and pleasant to talk to, unlike Delphine who is a typical ultimatum-forcing bitch stacy
>>737754995I bet you came when you saw the crossbow assassination scene in Vinland Saga
>>737747510>that bug where you talk to him through the door in the sewers and he never opens up the door
>>737755357>he plays without community patcheseven when 6 finally comes out im not touching it for probably 6 months
>>737746341Any animations of her getting vored by a dragon?
>>737755357It was officially fixed in one of the first patches and could also be fixed by extracting his lines from VoicesExtra.bsa, but yes, it shouldn't have been in the game.
>>737753224I wanted the ability to side with Bellamont
>>737746341>*saves your life*Was he really that evil?
>>737755948nah hadvar was cool
>>737751412based
>>737755948>was still cool with chopping your block off beforehe'll be the last imperial to die *spits*
>>737753224You children need to understand that roleplay doesn’t just mean “I get to do whatever I want” and that you can still PLAY the ROLE even when it’s relatively linear and you can’t go wildly off track. There is no possible way for any game ever to accommodate the level of freedom that you ignorant twats ask for - even DM’s IRL who can technically accommodate anything changing the story on the fly won’t let you get away with completely derailing the story because the reason you’re there is to experience the story. It’s “Skyrim” not “Timmy’s Awesome Adventure Kill Everyone XD”.
>>737755993>>737756353I was talking about Alduin showing up and stopping the execution. If he never bothered, you'd be another headless corpse tossed in a ditch.
>>737756353i mean he kind of tried to give you an out with the dykecaptain but its not like he could have fought them all to save you
>>737747003>leaving a quest forever unfinished in your log is the exact same as having autonomy to complete it in any way you wishWhy are zoomies like this? Just turn the game off and pretend you won at that point.
>>737746341Okay
>>737756469not a very chill guy, 5/10
>>737756675>muh virtual checklist has to be emptyYou have autism
>>737752061I was gonna say that's karma dependant, but it's been so long I thought I'd better check to make sure I haven't gone senile and apparently you can't get Fawkes to do it in vanilla. I don't think I can have got to the end of the game before Broken Steel was released so I never knew that. That is pretty fucking funny.>Fawkes, my noble and selfless friend, you're immune to radiation!>You could go flip the switch in that chamber full of radiation and no-one need come to harm!>Nah, I'm good, you do it human.
>>737756860even with the dlc ron pearlman calls you a beta cuck bitch for not accepting your destiny and a TRVE HERO had to do it
>>737755103Bros before hoesDragon friend better then loud annoying women
>>737752458>Go to atmorra and melt the ice with dragonfireI pretend that this happened and that's where the dragonborn will disappear to.>Go to akavir, bang snake women and high five nerevarThis is something that just happens.
>>737755103but hes heckin mario :(
>>737757181You people would be really easy to manipulate. Which makes sense as to your whole righty schtick.
>>737746341How about I kill partysnax and the old foid and rule all of skyrim?
>>737757297>You people would be really easy to manipulateIronic coming from a man willing to kill just because a woman ordered to do so
>>737746743>muh immersionThe only times NPCs die is dragon attacks, vampire attacks and if a NPC somehow spawns at fall damage height which is a very rare bug. Wanting to kill NPCs outside of quest reasons is nigger behavior.
>>737757297>NOOOOOOOO YOU CANT IGNORE THE FEMALE KILL YOUR MALE DRAGON FRIEND INCEL CHUD
>>737756469I could just progress the main quest, but why was Alduin interrupting the execution? Feel like it makes sense for him to deal the killing blow for your soul, probably, but it also makes me think about how long he was alive before finding you. By the time you confront him at the end, you're also super juiced up on Dragon Souls though.
>>737747003You kill the priest of bohethia during the house of horrors and that quest fails.The only one you can't fail is the bohethia quest because you are forced to kill a friendly NPC but it doesn't count as murder though.
>>737746341Whats funny is what if canonically dragonborn would have gotten killed on this request, dephone would have doomed the entire world
>>737746341Skyrim autist help a dude out.I can not for the life of .e get ostim standalone to stop fucking pestering me about scene integrity. I have tested at least 500 animations the mod works fine but this fucking pop up has become so irritating I'm considering giving up & fuckimg off
>>737757565>why was Alduin interrupting the execution?Ah yeah, why?, I thought it would be explained during the game, then I forgot about it.
>Dragonborn gets kicked out of the bladesIsn't the reason the blades exist is to protect the Dragonborn?
>he thinks i go far enough into the main story to spawn dragonslol! no thanks! ill just avoid being forced to go get dragonrend to play the videogame is all! haha!
>>737757890>he doesn't just shoot down the dragons with his trusty crossbow
>>737757723Degenerates like you belongs on a cross.
>>737756354False equivalence.Nobody looking for more interactions and outcomes and skill checks in CRPGs wants them to "derail" the game...They think "oh i wish I could've done this, that would've been neat" and then Bethesda decides to take even more options away until all you have are 4 dialogue choices that all lead to the same conclusion.
>>737757890>niggerfaggot casual playing on adept or lower can't git gud against dragons
>>737758280>set to legendary from level 1>see a dragon>swing once>get cutscene killed
>>737758280NTA but I play on lower than Adept because I fucking hate getting one-shot by some dual-casted Ice Spike the moment I make myself visibleHonestly, the absolutely devastating (and damage-scaling) ranged attacks force me to always become a stealth archer.
>>737758025>he doesn't use sword and board Even retard NPCs in-game shills bow and arrows vs dragons lmao.
>>737754349YepIf he enslaves humanity after I'm dead I'll just cheer him on as a ghost
>>737758330You're a bigger retard than i thought. Dragons don't spawn before level 10 and the first encounter is usually at level 5-7 if you're not a speedrunning faggot. The respawning guards kills it and secondly, playing on legendary requires thought out min/max'ing you dumb black gorilla nigger. Master is the most balanced vanilla experience if you don't cheese or exploit.Kill yourself casul.>>737758372Dude, sword and board breaks the game harder than stealth even by playing normally.Stealth is retarded and slows down the entire game to a crawl. I only crouch away if i'm outnumbered to harder mobs like Falmer due to poison damage or vampires pure magick damage.A dragon priest mask negates 100% of the poison and diseases at higher levels.
>>737746341I don't do for Delphine. I kill Paarthurnax because I'm the Dragonborn. I was put on Nirn to slay dragons and gobble up their souls. Blame Akatosh.
>>737758975You don't absorb Aduin's soul. It's not a known fact because most degenerates on /v/ haven't finished the MQ except maybe in 2011 or 2012.
>>737758975>I kill Paarthurnax because I'm fate's bitch
>>737758975
>>737746341>went up to the top of the mountain to change shout focus>get attacked by another dragon>Partysnax takes an arrow and immediately attacks me>kill both dragons, never go back to delphine because I don't want her to think I obeyed like a dog
>>737759283Based future nigga
>>737755948>>737756469When the Thalmor took White-Gold Tower during the Great War, 30 years (standard protagonist age) before Skyrim, they used its special primordial magics to mythically dethrone Talos and crush the soul of the Empire.Talos is the Twilight Dragonborn god, who acts as an intercessor between Heaven/Akatosh and mankind. It is the role of the Dragonborn God to tame Akatosh's destructive nature, ie vanquishing Alduin at the end of time. It is thought by some that when Talos ascended tp become a god, he absorbed the remaining dragons into himself.When Talos is shot from heaven his mortal and godly form are severed. The mortal returns to walk Tamriel again, whereas the godly part of his soul rips its way from beyond time as Alduin to bring its soul back to the Dragons and wreck havoc on the world.Alduin showing up to save the Dragonborn at the beginning of Skyrim is not a coincidence, its the Holy Spirit coming from the sky to descend upon Jesus and say "This is my son, with whom I'm pleased!"
>>737759421>another bow and arrow friendly fire assaultThe game loading screens explains how to yield in such cases unless some assaults can't be undone.
>>737759169Everything you do is pre-ordained in the Elder Scrolls. The only time you're not being fate's bitch is when you use an Elder Scroll to rewrite reality. Every player is fate's bitch in this franchise.
>>737750837>who also has reformed, non-aggressive dragonsdidn't see any of those. Every dragon besides PartySnacks wanted to kill me.
>>737759128That would be a really good if I was talking about Alduin and not Paarthrunax (whose soul I do absorb)
>>737759650Maybe they approached for a little chat and you shouted at them instantly
>>737759481Talos lore is fucked anyway. Aduin spawned back minutes before your execution. It has nothing to do with your IRL religions you dumb cuck. Helgen is the second closest town from the throat of the world and was more populated than Iverstead.Fuck off back to /pol/ kike.
>>737759650>didn't see any of those.You see them at the end of the main questThe dragons that attack you follow Alduin, the others stayed put and far away from harming humans as Paarthurnax taught them to
>>737757565It's destiny, Alduin is moving things along towards the end of the Kalpa. Think about how many world altering decisions occur under the LDB. Civil War Resolution puts mankind behind either way, Mede dies, Volkihars blot out the sun (source of all magic), Mora gains even more power. That's without getting into the probability that you are Shor in the flesh (literally the only one to ever beat Alduin), the probabilty of snow tower being destroyed by your acts in the civil war, not to mention the multiple blows the daedra receive from mortals that they themselves are powerless to stop. Skyrim is the lead up to the apocalypse even with Alduin being stopped (not killed mind you).
>>737759816The point being that killing Parthunax has nothing to do with the LDB's fate.
>>737759580It was more of as soon as I saw two dragons strafing me I responded in kind, at that point no way was putting my weapons down going to end it.
>>737756857The quest will exist until the heat death of the universe with the NPCs standing around expecting you to come along and move the quest forward. This is how most of Skyrim is and will always be.
>>737759874TES6 will make things vague for most questlines. It's tradition except the Hero's of Kvatch fate because of the expansion.>>737759981You just become etheral and jumps off the mountain in a pinch.
>>737746341If Parth asked you to kill Delphine it would be proof that she's right and he's still dangerous.
>>737749532That's ok, I accept you even if you are homosexual.
The way to fix this in vanilla way is simple.>do not start the CW before capturing the dragon in dragonsreach during the MQ >let the quest at high horthgar play normally when everyone important meets there>Delphine adds the kill Paarthunax quest to your log>tell Angeir that you will not kill Paarthunax >quest is removed from your journal forever unless you go back talking to the Blades >quest usually get stuck for faggots who finish the CW way too earlyBug or intended? No idea.
Even if he's secretly evil (again) dragons seems like the lesser evil over Nazi elvesPartysnax stays, also where the FUCK does Delphine get off telling me I'm out of the blades?
>>737761082Just wait for TES6 talking about the second great war during post Skyrim events and the Thalmor either get raped out of the setting or they'll try to invade High Rock(TES6) the final Empire allied province.
>>737758198>Bethesda fag calling other Bethesda fags degenerate while quoting fagsLulz
>>737757810Yes. I dunno how Delphine got caught up in her delusions other than having a massive Karen moment, or why Esbern the fucking LOREMASTER somehow ignores that. The Blades deserve to get eradicated if these are the mongoloids they're led by.
>>737761820It would've been easier to tell him to kill himself for being a loser but on 4chan, memes are better for that.
>>737757810>>737761853Stop thinking! It's a PLAYER CHOICE and the WORLD RESPONDS TO YOUR DECISION!Isn't that what you want!?!?
They're not dragons they don't have arms
>>737746341>Kill DelphineI already did via console commands
>>737762014all wyverns are dragons but not all dragons are wyverns
>>737746341Yes King!

>>737759646I thought the whole point of the Prisoner was that they're not bound by fate. Or was that ESO gobbledegook?
>>737759646Unless you Zero sum or attain chim thus freeing yourself from the game writers
>>737747003No, it's not. The same way alt f4ing and uninstalling the game isn't an "alternate ending".
>>737759646Just like in real life!Oh, you thought everything that happened to you in your life was your decision and choice? It was all coincidence and chance?Or were always going to make those decisions and always get "unlucky"? Would it really matter?You are everything that you've done.Everything that was done to you and you chose to do were pre-planned for you by an entity trying to entertain itself or provide a character for a more important character.
>>737746341Playing a thief or assassin is okay but betrayal isn't something I can ever roleplay. Sure you can argue who deserves whatever but it feels so disgusting regardless.
>>737752138Skyrim's 2nd main act is actually pretty amazing imo.You>infiltrate an Elven Embassy in which you can have some of the most influential characters in the game that you may have befriended create a diversion for you to sneak out of a party>Help escape an old Blade member from a sewer and get ambushed by the Thalmor>Explore a massive ancient temple (the game purposefully spawns a Dragon right in front of the temple with a large number of Foresworn present causing one of the biggest setpiece fights in the game)>learn the secret of the Greybeards and traverse the highest mountain in the known world to talk to the only Dragon friendly to humankind>be forced to explore the Northern Wastes to get information from a schizophrenic genius afflicted by Hermeaus Mora>Delve into an humongous Dwarven Ruin only to come across Blackreach, a massive underground mushroom cavern system with tons of secrets and the scariest enemies in the game>Fight Alduin on top of the Throat of the WorldUsually 2nd acts are mostly filler but in Skyrim it's banger after banger, pure fantasy adventure kino
>>737752931wow that is one half assed list my god
>>737750439Even if her argument was phrased better, she still comes across as a complete idiot that can't see the bigger picture. Her and Esburn believe that all dragons are the same, that he can't change and that even the betrayal makes him worse, because traitors are traitors to the end. Maybe they are right, maybe he will eventually succumb to his desire for domination. I would have just told her that without Alduin, the dragons can never resurrect anyway. Killing them means they stay bones. The Blades can stay around as an organization of dragon killers against those that threaten humanity, but Dragons are thinking beings and if they choose not to threaten humanity with death or subjugation, then it is the same as murder and we don't condone murder. I would have also made the argument that as the Dragonborn has a dragon soul, killing Parthunax is just giving into that nature for domination. Killing him proves them right about the nature of dragons anyway and will just make bigger problems as the dragons scatter to the four winds and wait for the Dragonborn to die.
>>737763653Feel free to add to it.Please.
>>737763476I'll admit you raise some good points. My dislike for Delphine and the tedium of going through the questline two dozen times over the past decade and a half colors my perception of it, clearly.
>>737746341The second time I felt like I was killing the wrong character—and my real-life buddy—was in GTA IV during my second playthrough, when I decided to kill Dwayne.
>>737748818Damn, that dragon sounds fucking BASED to me!
>>737752931Only 5 fuckable dragons in the whole list and they're all on the top row
>>737746341I will not allow a Dragon Cult to take root in the world again, not under Paarthunax or anyone else.
>>737763476Generally, the MQ in TES is well crafted. Even Starfield first temple was cool.Fallout is MEH except the big battles with Prime or your squads and the glowing sea the first time.
>>737747452It's not even a decision, it's either you kill him or ignore the quest. There's not even an option to tell her to fuck off.
>>737746341dunno mandelphine presented a nice rack when she told me to kill youwhere's yours?
Alduin could have one if he wasn't so lazy
>>737764507>oneFucking phone
>>737755357>"Go away!"
>>737747095but not Nahfahlaar?
>>737764134Trash Knight dragon is not in the top row, anon.
>>737746341but I'm a pathetic cuck who see's a woman and I need her to futa my assor to save breath here - I'm pro-Empire
>>737757810Protect the emperor. Thalmor forced Titus Mede to disband them so now Delphine has to find a new purpose for the blades.They obviously already have a goal: fuck Thalmor” but Skyrim is not about Thalmor but Dragons so Delphine has to conform
>>737765178>Protect the emperor>When I killed the emperor before starting the main quest
>>737764057you were right to feel wrong, dwayne's the fuckin homie.
>>737763476i didnt like most of skyrim's main quest, but Blackreach was absolute kino from start to finishi wish that most of the dungeons in this game had the same scale and variety
>>737748536normalfags have such low standards
>>737746341If you kill Delphine before the end with essential NPCs disabled the final cutscene doesn't even play because it references her for some reason. Bethesda's incompetence truly knows no bounds.
>>737763476The moment you beat Alduin on the Throat of the World was the peak of the main quest, everything after that including the final quest was just boring tedium.The main quest overall doesn't really affect the world just like the so-called Civil War
>>737766096Part of the reason I completely avoid the main quest until I get stuck or run out of quests. I don't even kill Mirmulnir until like 50 or 60 hours in and even then I don't take it further than unlocking dragonborn. Usually do Dawnguard last as a result as you can't complete it until after Alduin is dead
>>737748536Androinz' VaM models look better than she actually does IRL
>>737756675>>leaving a quest forever unfinished in your log is the exact same as having autonomy to complete it in any way you wishYes, exactly.You only think otherwise because virtual checklist and your inability to think for yourself.The game even validates the decision by the conversation with Paarthurnax at the end of the game, several quests after you would've been assigned to kill him.
>>737765584did you finish the rest?
>>737754128Might was well kill anybody who has any degree of power with that logic.
>>737763476>"infiltrate" a house by walking in, have some different dialogue options to move the mission along with the same conclusion>Talk to an NPC and kills hostile NPCs that appear after>Kill NPCs while a big NPC is flying around and enter a cave that leads to a building on top of a mountain>Talk to NPCs and walk to a previously unaccessable portion of the area to talk to another NPC>Talk to an NPC and kill specific hostile NPCs to unlock more dialogue with him>Enter a big area with pretty lights in the ceiling>Hit a hostile NPC repeatedlySkyrim is so braindead that people need to pretend theres any subtance to it.
>>737750024they'd have to fund 10 years of research just to find out all the new kinds of VD you caught
>>737748536Imagine just getting given life on golden platter like her. I know she has a business to run, and the discomfort of making porn, but it's just not fair.
>>737747061she's mindbroken and paranoid, and kind of a larper tooalso her antagonism towards the greybeards is stupid and the stuff she says about tiber septim and the greybeards fearing your power is straight up retarded and kind of manipulative
>>737746341Gladly
>>737770919Yeah bro just trust the Dragon named CRUELTY OVERLORD AMBITION, who already genocided MILLIONS of humans during the Dragon Wars as Alduin's 2nd in command and literally straight-up tells you that he cannot contain his powerlevel for much longer as it's a Dovah's nature to dominate and killDelphine is 100% correct in finishing the lizard off once and for all, if he doesn't snap in a year hell do it in a hundred.>"B-but muh funny coolerino dragon buddy Paarthusnaxx he's so hecking poggerino!!!"Is what redditors say. Any Dovahkin with half a brain offs Paarthunax, Delphine demands it in the wrong way but she's 100% correct, it's like having the option of defusing a nuclear bomb which can destroy all of Tamriel and not doing it because the funny dragon talked to you cutely once.
>>737750051
>>737771351bravo todd
>>737757485which one is your favorite npc?
realistically speaking we should have had the option to kill both, I was gonna kill him regardless because he's a dragon but delphine needed to die too for having the audacity to give me an all tomato
I hate when you just have to stand around and wait for npc's to talk at you for minutes at a time.
>>737765584Take a lesson or two in reading comprehension
>>737759824you seem to be having some sort of conniption over an analogy, genuine low iq behavior
just snuck into the embassyno thalmor womb is safe from my breton penis
>>737747061The vanilla main story was rushed and was only used to market the game.
>>737752458The moment you go past the ending, the esoteric raises its head and would show you exactly how weak the Dragonborn an an Army of Dragons actually is in setting, particularly against the Artifact-abusing Thalmor.Mirror Logicians, dragonhorns, Red-Diamond collapses, portals to oblivion, you'd be lucky if the dragonborn set foot on Summerset with how the Thalmor are glazed behind the scenes.
>>737753049You get that the Thalmor is the Arc threat to the next 2-3 games, right?
>>737771351you are a fucking imbecile
>>737757565Sensed a dragon, couldn't find it.If you spend enough time in the Tutorial, he actually realises who you are and starts targetting you directly.
>>737747061STOOPID DRAGON
>>737746341Odahviing spelled it out for you plain and simple, the Way of the Voice is the most Tyrannical ideology he's ever developed and wishes to subjugate all dragons with it. Stuff like world conquest is childsplay by comparison.
>It's me, the dragon named "cruel overlord", brother of the world eater, and I pinky promise you that now that I lead the dragons I won't just ever sperg out after you die and I have all of eternity to do soMhhh...
>>737774862Okay but how does the rise of the dragons and burning of Tamriel and beyond effect you personally?
>>737764507One what?
>>737762373Each induvidual strand of Possibility that makes up the prisoner is unbound to fate in the sense that their induvidual actions or inactions cannot be predicted with accuracy.But, the overarching entity, the full collection of wound threads that is the prisoner always completes the prophecy they are summoned for and usually everything else.
>>737774862why didn't he sperg out in the thousands of years between alduin's banishment and the game's start
>>737769459Tell me about some of the quests in vidya that you actually like, anon.
People trying to appeal to morality as to why they sided with Delphine while walking around with 5 Diedrich artifacts they got by murdering, 10 quintilion soul trapped people and 10 stolen sweetrolls they got on the way to their target when doing the thief or assassin questlines
A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON
>>737775437The game really does a bad job at incentivizing moral choices, some quests you start and the only way to resolve them is to follow the "intended" path, which can often be the evil one like in Molag's quest.By the late game, the game has trained the player to just follow the quest marker with little to no critical thought about it.
>>737754128>How did Skyrim manage to have so many quests that people still argue about to this day?We've all played it, Blood on the Ice was a good quest
Why did nords stop shouting at people? Something to do with beating up Morrowang elves? I get that they "lost" but why stop yelling at people?
>>737757810>Isn't the reason the blades exist is to protect the Dragonborn?no
>>737769459Morrowind>clear this tomb>grab this item>here is 14 paragraphs of lore
>>737775974Because uhhh don't think about it
>>737776095>>here is 14 paragraphs of loreMost of the lore Morrowfags jerk off of is not even be in the game, just fan fiction alt universes the writers came up with while LARPing Vivec on the forums.In Morrowind, all you get is a premise>House Telvanni are Libertarian Wizards and... uhhh you get to go grocery shopping for them>Theres a really OP Telvanni Wizard who fucks his children and uhh... thats it
>>737748732That's Lorkhan's problem, he'll just reincarnate some hero or whatever to kill him if he tries anything retarded.>>737775974Yurgen Windcaller got beat up so bad during the battle of red mountain that he became a pacifist and it wasn't enough that he was a c uck he had to do forbid every other nord from yelling ever again.
>>737746341Why is it that after killing Paarthurnax Delphine dosent send you to kill Odaviing?
>>737774839>Odahviing spelled it out for you plain and simple, the Way of the Voice is the most Tyrannical ideology he's ever developedjurgen windcaller came up with it not paarthurnax, but yesdumbasses who repeat that paarthurnax's name means ambition overlord cruelty are too stupid to realize other implications of that or haven't even played the game so they don't know what happens at the end, or both
>>737776876There is no end screen for Skyrim.
>>737776876But the big dragon was nice 2 meee :((((
>>737776876>is it better to be born named Ambition Overlord Cruelty? >or should one earn their name through mass genocide and conquest
Look if I install Skyrim again all I'm going to do is spend two weeks installing sex mods, fap once and uninstall it because it's taking up 500gb on my pc.
>>737777012Just play vanilla and get all the achievements, mayve use a reshade to get more color ingsme but no mods
>>737777012The mods are never worth it. It's always like a handful of canned animations with only a few of them being actually good and some janky shit like not being able to skip/escape animations that last 5 minutes.
>>737748732He didn’t after all the other Dragonborn died.

>>737752252The design director literally does not think about this stuff. He has never thought about it, and he never will think about it.
>>737775437You don't get it I NEEDED this Daedric cursed Dai-Katana which powers up by killing your friends and loved ones in order to kill Alduin and save the world
