Most dissapointing quest rewards?

None.

And all at the same time.

'cause i don't care of "quest rewards" in a game like this with "a lot of unbalance" - and not only in the economy.

The eventual fun or disappointment is in the quest itself.

For the radiant quests and random tasks: you can freely choose what to do or not,so i don't see any reason to complain about them sincerely other than a certain repetitiveness of some of them of course that is even understandable :smile:

But its very fun to see how people complaining about too much gold,weapons that could be "too overpowered" and lack of reward in the quests at the same time :biggrin:

There's a quest in Riften where you gather up some supplies for the Argonian Jeweler there. After you get all the supplies, your reward is a silver necklace and 200 gold.

Of course, there's the fact that the supplies you just gave him were worth around 2000 gold on their own. Factor in all the hours I spent searching for those Sapphires... ugh. I lost money on that quest.

Nonsensical.

Sor far (in over 200+ hours of gameplay) I have yet to recieve something as a quest reward (not a guild quest mind you, Guild Master's armor is pretty sweet) were I said "You know what? I can see myself using that!" It's all a load of low level useless trash.

It's a shame the rewards svck even if they are "leveled." I wish Skyrim had a sort of "Smart Rewards" aspect, as in the game looks at the perks and stats you're taking and adjusts the rewards you get from both quests and dungeon chests. I'm not talking about drastically specific, but just more geared towards your playstyle. Some would say this limits the playability of the game, but let's face it, the perk system killed any chances of your warrior learning magic because he just ran out of memory points.

750 gold total (The bonus is extra gold) after gaining at least 1000 for assassinating the bride during her speech. It's suposed to be unavoidable. I turned invisible and ran away, but I talked to the argonian and I instantly gained a bounty.

Time it right.... and you can shoot her, wait for everyone to move out of the way, jump down, steal her clothes(only wedding dress in the game I know of), jump down again, run to the tower with an entrance to the waterfront and escape with 0 bounty. You do have to avoid the argonian though.

All the bounties I've ever had paid 100 gold, regardless of what hold they're in.

Dragons are 500 gold, that is the one exception.


Working for the stormcloaks at level 60 I remember getting semi-decent(not what I wanted, but worth something when I sold it) enchanted stuff after every mission, then getting stormcloak officer gear(crappy but I get why they gave it to me)... then out of no where... a hide shield. The reward after that was a deadric sword of the vampire so I guess that makes up for it... but really, I fight a war for you and I get a hide shield? I'm wearing a full suit of enchanted deadric armor, I command the mages guild, I turn your enemies against each other with spells then summon deadra to help you in your battles... I'm WINNING you war for you and you think it is acceptable to give me a freaking HIDE shield?? I would of switched to the empire at that point if it let me.

The gold rewards are pretty meh usually

You get a 1000 gold for dropping off some supplies, but you get almost nil for risking your life killing the threats to the people of skyrim

Oh my. In that case, Skyrim must leave you feeling pretty bereft, for the most part. The quality of most of the quests are about as great and memorable as the loot from them.
Maybe they should try what gearbox are doing in borderlands 2 and have unique randomly generated weapon skins. Naming them and getting them to fit in with lore could be problematic though.
