>>744565936Why does Todd keep humoring Kirkbride after the firing?
>>744565936
>>744565936Why does every Bethesda game have to have some screaming preacher in the first town you visit? I could understand if only 1 or 2 games had this but all of them have it.
>>744566096It is how they shove exposition for the lore in your face in case you don't read the books. They knew Skyrim was going to be light on the weird esoteric lore people like TES for so they shoved this guy in your face so you couldn't say there wasn't any esoteric shit in the game.
i sneak attack him with an arrow to get the dark brotherhood watching and go on with my game every time
I think I'm going to do a game and give Wuuthrad to Heimskr and take him along to kill elves across skyrim. Thanks for the inspiration op.
>>744565936Dumb crazy person yelling about fake gods.
Does talos even reward people like this?
CURSE HIM! CURSE THE CHRISTIAN KING AND HIS ARMY OF INFIDELS! THEY GO AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD AND MUST BE MADE TO PAY! EVERYWHERE THEY RIDE THEY LEAVE ONLY SUFFERING IN THEIR WAKE! THE SAY IT IS A CRUSADE! A CRUSADE FOR WHAT? VIOLENCE? MADNESS? WE MUST RESIST! WE MUST FIGHT THEM IN ANY WAY WE CAN!
It’s been a decade and I’m still mad the ceasefire negotiation quest didn’t have an option to shout the room into submission with the VoiceUlfric did more with it and he’s just some random clown
>>744565936Y'all motherfuckers need Shor
can someone explain the appeal of this game and series to a zoomer? i tried this game on playstation once and it was mid asf and returned it to the person who let me borrow it
>>744566610>no option to have Maven and the Black-Briar family dragged out in public and skinned alive for their crimes against Skyrim
fuck talos
>>744566096>Talos Guy in Whiterun>Atom guy in Megaton>Not one in Seyda Neen/Balmora>Not one in Imperial City/Chorral>Not one in Sanctuary/Diamond City>Haven't played StarfieldThat's a far cry from "every game" anon, in fact it's less than half.
>>744566675It's even more infuriating that not only was this supposed to be an option, but pieces of the unfinished quest line are still in the final game as if to taunt you.
>>744566947That's enough Balmora blue for your majesty Barenziah
>>744567745Pretty sure Starfield had one, it also had Adoring Fan too for the "le heckin quirk chungus" crowd.
>>744566372> get the dark brotherhood watchingIt doesn’t work like that in skyrim tho
>>744570809Adoring Fan is in no way a "Crazed Preacher shouting exposition in the first city" character. He's a companion character who doesn't even exist unless you complete the entire Arena faction questline.
