I killed Alduin 2 days ago same as my last game and I'm wondering if there's any particular reason to continue playing the same game?

Since killing him it seems that all new missions are sort of just meaningless "hack 'em up" fights with no real goal(s).

Did you complete the Civil War, Companions, Thieves' Guild, College of Winterhold and Dark Brotherhood?

Nop no reason, it ain't like their a 5 guilds, 10+ daedric quests, a whole expansive game world to explore nop none of this shiIt is here.

I bid you good day.

I did it all except the Thieve's Guild. He wants me to steal from 1 box and put it in another and HE SAYS he'll distract every one but he doesn't & I got tired of being caught because he's so lousy at distraction.

In the Dark Brotherhood, when she told to kill 1 of 3 captives I killed her instead. But every thing else was done.

If you have killed the leader of the Dark Brotherhood and not reported it to a city guard, you really should. I'm just sayin', you're not done with them yet.

Or you could just try to kill that guy in Riften who keeps letting you get caught. That should keep you occupied for a while.

Nothing else to do. If they're going to sell a game to us at least put in $60 worth of content right? What a rip off.

Mmm... me smash... mod game.. make god... kill dragon... done! Yeah... just what I want to spend $60 bucks on.. thanks for the heads up..

The main quest is not worth doing. It's lame and pathetic.

Lots more to do in the game.
But there's not a lot to do, for the size of the world.

There's factions, guilds, quests.

It comes down to repetious hack and slash and fetch quests in the end though. Once you do all the good factions, it's just endless radient quests.
Nothing against hack and slash and fetching stuff. But you expect the content to last past level 40 if you go at it like crazy.
And it most definately does'nt.

The main quest makes you want to rage quit in it's lameness.
I did, the first time I saw it.

Once you do it the first time, you lose interest in the game, it's that bad. It casts a pall of why the hell bother over everything.

So I don't do it now. You get nothing for it, it's a pain in the ass.

You could always go on a province-wide murder spree. It's fun at least once.

All Achievements?

You're aware of all of http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Questsand things-to-do, right?

You should go play Mass Effect 3 if you want a deeply satisfying and fulflfilling ending with hundreds of hours of replay value.

Right now I am actively trying to finish every single quest I have in my journal (except, obviously, the radiant quests) Then I plan on making a new character with the lessons I learned on my current one.

I have so much money and swag, I have one of my house carl's rooms slowly being filled with gold bars, another one dead bodies (lure a dead thrall in there, kill him, and position the body), every mamoth snout I have found since day 1. Each and every manequin, weapon stand, and display case has the best and most unique versions of everything on them.


My character is so freakishly rich and overpowered that I made myself king of everything I see because logically there is no reason for my dude to listen to anyone (Don't you speak to me in that tone Ulfric Stormcloak! After everything I did for you).

Mentioning anything about arrows in knees or stolen sweetrolls results in swift and immediate executions (Do I fetch the mead? Are you kidding me? ARRRRAAAGGGG WEREWOLF RAMPAGE).

If someone broke into any of my houses they would have access to the alchemical ingrediants to concoct any and all potions, an arsenal of top notch and unique gear that would equip an army, enough gold and ebony bars to build a castle's walls, and enough stolen property to put me in prison until Alduin's return.

This game is just such a time-sink that the simplest objective I have is forgotten about 12 seconds later when I wander off the road chasing butterflies or deciding that I want to see another horse leap off the top of the throat of the world.

Sometimes I like to pretend I am a serial killer, or a stalker, and just prey on innocent towns and villiages, or I go cross country with a theme (Emperor Palpatine: I can only equip dual shock while wearing black robes and all kills must be accompanied by an appropriate irl battle cry *UNLIMITED POOOOWWWAAAAAHHHH*).

I dunno, this game will offer you as much fun as your imagination can provide...


Though to be fair, after completing the final mission in the main story line I did take a nice long break from the game.
