Just got the platinum

Post » Thu Jun 07, 2012 5:53 am

I felt bad for Faendal, but he died for a bigger cause. That cause was me getting the Ebony Armor.
How noble of you. :P

That is some sweet ass armor though. There's a glitch I'm gonna' try to get it, but I don't think I can because it requires the cultists to be alive and I suspect they don't respawn.

I did the TG on one toon, that was enough - and I did NOT do all the annoying little quests to restore it...
I did the ones to restore it mainly for a sense of completion, but the fences are nice, too. Yeah, I know money is useless at some point, but I still like trying to accrue as much as I can. :lol:

If they can fix the bug with the TG trophies (the ingame trinkets in the Cistern) I'll go back to the Small Jobs so I can fully populate the shelves. I do like ingame trophies now. :lol:

I don't have a toon I'm still playing who has less than 100k gold, and nothing to spend it on. And I don't need fences since I don't steal anything....

I steal very little - almost nothing outside of quests, actually - I like having 20K worth of vendor cash per 'round'. My chick has like 668K and still a bunch of crap stored in her houses. :o

I know this great place south of Windhelm you can meet up.

But seriously, I know exactely how you feel; I cringed after doing most of those quests and tried to rationalize to myself why i'm doing it. I even left the canabalism quest until the end so I could get it, save, then load and kill everyone. It was just too vile to have on my main's game save.

I completed all trophies on my first playthrough! Kind of a bummer for my second and third because nothing to really look forward to.

There are Trophies?


Seriously tho, I hear the bell go off, but by the time I look up in the corner and squint to see what I've won, it's disappeared.... :shrug:
I'm not really a completist so to me trophies would seem more important in a co-op or MP, but congratulations anyway--- an accomplishment is an accomplishment.

I don't even notice a lot of times and when I check my Trophies/Achievements for the hell of it I'm like: "When did I get that one?" :lol:

For some reason I'm having a hard time getting the trophy for doing 10 side quests.. I'm pretty sure I did more than 10 but it says I have only done 7. :\

I think only certain things count as official side quests. I have the trophy and thought I had done a couple dozen side quests... game stats say 13.

Or the stones of Berenziah.

It feels like the Bards College is just something that was thrown in for no reason. I finished it and thought "well... did that".

I was expecting more than what there is, to the bards college.
Maybe there was supposed to and they were so obsessed with the release date they did'nt finish it.

The Stones Of Berenziah, bleh. Glad theres no trophy for that.
Go round finding stones, for a crown you can't even keep or wear.
No thank you.

Yeah I've figured. So I'm just going to look online and see what Side Quests there are. Right now I'm just trying to clear out some places to get the trophy for that.. Pretty easy so far. Just got 7 more to go. :D

The wierdest one that I got was when I had the quest to re-take the reach for the Stormcloaks, and when I beat the main quest for some reason I instantly took the reach!

The only two I have yet to get are the pick 50 locks and 50 pockets (not a pickpocket guy), and the Thieves Guild master achievement. Very tedious and I don't really care.

I suspect it only counts the ones that pop-up with big bold text and music, not the smaller text prompts. Does that make any sense to anyone? lol

If you get all of the PS3 Bronze/Silver/Gold trophies you get a Platinum one. :P

Im still debating whether to go for the master criminal one or not. its the last one i need.
oblivion walker was a hassle too.


Master Criminal is the EASIEST to get ... :rofl: . Very very easy.

Yes ... I crack up over this one.

One ....... simply turn into a werewolf at the front gate of the city ... poof ... instant 1000 bounty.

Two ....... run far away and hide for a minute or so and return to human form.

Three ....... go to the next city and repeat ... do this in all nine cities.

Four ....... AFTER receiving the acheivement, go back and take care of the bounties ... BUT ...

Five ....... you have the opportunity to rapidly raise your speechcraft by "persuading" all the guards to ignore you ... 4 or 5 guard conversations raises you a point and some cities have a dozen or more guards ... don't forget to persuade the guards inside the jails and dungeons or out at the watchtowers too.

Six ....... go to jail for one and get that acheivement too

Getting Master Criminal was a pain but the platinum was worth it. Don't know why people are too ardent in their efforts to not do Daedric quests. I killed nameless Markarth mercenary to gain awesome armor. I love Ebony Mail and Ring of Namira.

For about 2 months I've just need to get married and get 1000 bounty in all holds. I will one day do them but am in no rush, can anybody confirm if you need to have exactly 1000 gold in all holds or can it be over 1000?
