Are You Kidding Me, Bethesda? : V

Spoilers:

So I get to the phase of Diplomatice Immunity where I'm supposed to meet Delphine at the Solitude Stables (after I've given my armor and weapons to Malborn) and an Elder Dragon decides to attack. :mellow:

Yeah, I Fast Traveled, but come on! <_<

That's life. That's what people say. You're flying high in April, shot down in May :wink:

But, constructively, what's the alternative? Suspending the gameworld?

Yeah, I hear you there. Sometimes you just want to find your way to where you are going without having to worry if a dragon will show up.

Plus, after you kill about 50 dragons in the game, it starts getting old and repetitive. I have more dragon souls than I know what to do with. I don't even take the bones and scales anymore.

Everytime I go to see my fence at Honingbrew Meadery (now Black Briar meadery) I pray a dragon doesn't show up. I don't like to carry my heavy armor around when I'm doing inventory cleanup and sell day!! lol

steed stone - no weight from your heavy armor (and accidentally also none that matches the type etc... in your inventory)

nothing says you HAVE to fight the dragon. go inside the stable and wait. Delphine can't die. or better, if she's not in combat, just put on the clothes she gave you and bail out and make them fight it while you're gone. lol

LOL After that time I fast traveled to Riverwood and an Elder Dragon killed the Blacksmith, I never directly fast travel there anymore. I travel to the mine and then ride into town LOL

So, don't tell me you don't have any spare weapons on you? hahahaha Oh I bet Delphine could woop that dragon's butt =p

Simple line of code: (in english because I don't know the programming language, but I know enough about IF/THEN statements):

IF diplomatic_immunity=1; THEN random_dragon_spawn=0

Even when I ran there on foot it spawned. I guess I'll have to get my Ebony stuff, kill it, and put my Ebony stuff back. <_<

I tried that. I fled, I waited several hours several times and it's still there.

So, don't tell me you don't have any spare weapons on you?

Not on me - I'll have to go get them.

Dude, it svcks, but that happened to your character in a rare and specific situation. I think the game would be awful if you could be put into situations in which the unepectedly bad can't happen

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 11:35 pm

I don't come in here and complain about every minor bug I experience because I understand the magnitude of creating a game of this scale, but when we're required to give up our gear in the execution of a quest there need to be reasonable accomodations and I don't think turning off random dragon spawns for something like this is unreasonable.

After I ran around gathering up my Ebony gear, returned to the Stables, and popped a Fire Resitance pot it decided to attack Solitued proper and Delphine gave me the next phase of the quest. :mellow:

random is indeed good.

After all that, did she atleast put out? Delphine,not the dragon.

The one thing that's nice about being a mage, being able to kill elder dragons in party clothes

Hold on...... So you fast travelled from The Winking Skeever to Solitude Stables ? Are you kidding me hahahahaa

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 10:15 pm

Of course not.

...and now the quest locked up on her dialogue wherein she asks if I'm ready to board the carriage and I responded, 'Ready to go.' <_<

Lesson learned from this: Wait for the GOTY edition before I buy a Bethesda game. :mellow:

I Fast Travel almost everywhere and, if you had read one of my previous posts, instead of trolling you would've seen that I got the same result after running there.

Of course not. :tongue:

I wasn't trolling, just find it hilarious.

Breezehome to Dragonsreach ?

Breezehome to Dragonsreach ?

No, Breezehome to the Smith next door, yes. :lol:

OK, I don't Fast Travel everywhere, but between large outdoor areas, yes. I ride a horse almost everywhere and I get tired of fighting every wolf, bear, spider and Bandit comer so I try to Fast Travel as much as possible. ...especially since a lot of the mountain top 'places' have only one narrow entrance I don't like going around the world to the left trying to get to them.

Delphine is a Blade and you are THE Dragonborn.....slay the dragon?

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 9:34 pm

Real Dovahkiins can fight dragons in their unders.

I'm sure even the Dragonborn wouldnt especially be too happy about having to fight a dragon in their birthday suit. That could get..messy.

I got stuck because a Blood Dragon showed up right after I gave Delphine all my stuff, but before she could finish running her mouth. And it was a glitched dragon that only circled, and it NEVER left. So I was stuck, unable to do anything at all (not even open the pause menu), as Delphine walked back and forth with her sword drawn (it never dawned on her to use her bow), while the carriage driver kept jumping on and off his wagon, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Prey to Talso for help?. Unless your an Empire support, then your screwed.
Thats a fun quest thought. Just wish there were more Thalmor related quest..

That happened to me as well... the Blacksmith and Hod's wife died in the attack, as well as Faendal.

IF diplomatic_immunity=1; THEN random_dragon_spawn=0

This would have the side effect of allowing you to leave the quest pending without having to deal with dragons for an indefinite amount of time.
