Dovahkiin Gets No Respect

Post » Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:37 am

Alright, so today I realized just how neglected the Dragonborn is. On my main character I stopped Alduin and the Dragon Crisis, saved the world from the Vampires, and helped Ulfric win the Civil War. After all these accomplishments, I decided to join the Companions for some more glory. However, when I was talking to Kodlak, Vilkas said, "I never even heard of this outsider." I was like, "R U JK!!! Im Dragonborn, Stormblade, and one of the greatest vampire slayers and yet you never heard of me!?!?" Don't worry, it gets better. I decided to save Thorald Graymane instead. When I freed the group of prisoners in the dungeon he was held up in, none of them thanked me but rather insulted me. "Get away from me" and "Leave me alone" were the only things they said to me. Then I go back to Whiterun after saving a member of the Gray-mane family and Olfina, isntead of thanking me for saving her brother, just spoutted off some more of her femi-nazi comments like, "What's the matter, can't stand the sight of a strong Nord woman?" Its kinda like this with everything, lol. I would hope that in future Elder Scrolls games this wouldn't be as big of a problem and they would put some more thought into things like that.

Yeah, it's strange really, more so that the dovahkiin is renowned in their folktale.

Meanwhile the Nerevarine and CoC is hailed by almost everyone.

My favorite is when I have complete the MQ, the guard is all like "Hail Champion of Cyrodiil" and the other NPC "It's an honor to meet the Champion of Cyrodiil". Sure it's a little vain, but it's realistic, you just save them from daedric invasion and daedric is considered like the devil, so it's make sense.

This should happen in Skyrim too, you just save them from Alduin, the deity known to end the world, you just save the world from apocalypse and no respons?

Yeah, it's been a problem in all TES games, it was funny for me in oblivion.

Poohunter, Champion of Cyrodiil, Grandmaster of the Arena, Listener of the dark brotherhood, Knight of the nine, Sheogorath the Daedric prince of madness, Master of the Fighters guild, Arch-mage of the Mages guild, The Gray Fox.

City guard: Good morning citizen.

But at least major event are commented on, rather than Skyrim comment on minor event and ignore major event.

Yeah, in Skyrim even when you're the guildmaster they talk down to you.
