I really wish I'd played more Skyrim now. I did the first few parts of the main quest, explored a bunch of dungeons and ran around naked a bunch but it seems like there's so much awesome stuff I didn't see.

I always went Imperial because banning religion or not, at least they don't make other races live literally underneath the "true" Nords.

Also Solitude was beautiful and Windhelm was a shithole.

I should play again one day and just do a "living the simple life" character, that seems fun.

definitely need mods to make it truly work but it's loads of fun to read a book while your character fishes.

I've never gotten all the way through the Civil War because I find them both to be pricks. Instead I roam the wilderness, ambushing Thalmor.

my dovahkiin was so undecided for so long because though she's imperial the legion did try to execute her. but then I walked into windhelm for the first time and was like "nope, these guys need to die."

Bullshit. They're the best of the bunch, but they still are working with the Thalmor. Sure, they're preparing to fight a war with them, but they're cooperating in the meantime. The good guys are the folks in Hammerfell. Never give up, never surrender.

I would think that too, but if that's true then Rarity claiming hadvar (a member of the legion) means she literally scumclaimed, so it must be something else. maybe vigilants vs. vampires? brotherhood vs. thieves guild? idk.

Oh it could be the Companions and the Vampires, since being a werewolf and a vampire at the same time is impossible! It's one of the only mutually exclusive decisions you have to make in the whole game.

sure, I mean the thalmor are literal fantasy nazis, but I subscribe to the viewpoint that the Empire of Talos is still alive and well despite the destruction of the amulet; as the spiritual successor to st. alessia's empire, it is the only thing standing in the way of the thalmor from destroying the world.

I haven't played Skyrim in years. I played it at launch, mostly following quests until it got boring. I did very little of the "just wandering around randomly", which sounds like the correct way to play. Oh yeah, I also realized you can increase you weapon/armor smith skills by crafting junk forever and i couldn't resist the min/maxer in me. Found a place which sold the materials for the best armors/weapons in the game pretty early too (I think in the mage school? Not sure). Stopped playing not long after that.

Incorrect. Windhelm has the most convenient layout and best NPCs for selling and acquiring goods. Also the house there has the best display and storage outside of the DLC houses.

Uh the Windhelm house is some shack the jerk king gives you after a crazy murderer uses it for his murderings and they don't eve bother to wipe it down before they give you the keys.

gently caress Windhelm.

The nicest house is actually in Markarth but its a shame whoever coded Markarth and the quests in it was drunk at the time.
