I need things to do! Please assist, wonderful community! : V

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 12:05 pm

So I've just finished the main story/all the guilds. Now I want to know what to do! I'd like to keep spoilers as minimal as possible, but I want some quests/names of dungeons that are worth trekking. I found that after like level 20, most of the side quests are useless since the rewards are so low level, and I find the same of most dungeons. So if you don't mind, I'd like to know some starting places of your favorite quests and names of some interesting/challenging dungeons. If you can, I'd rather know as little about the dungeons/quests as possible, I just want to know that you consider them worth my time in some way.

What about the daedric quests?

THIS!
Daedric quests are the only quests in the game worth doing.

There are radiant quests and side quests.

Here's a list of side quests :

There is also the Civil War.

Daedric Princes.

Buying a House, buying another house.

Becoming Thane of your favorite province, becoming Thane of ALL provinces.

....

Well, there's alot to do man. Just depends on what you want to do.

Go to Black Reach and kill the dragon in there.

Go to Black Reach and kill the dragon in there.

I will!

What about the daedric quests?

I've done a few, I'm working on every achievement, so they will definitely be done soon enough.

Already the Thane of a few places, Civil War is done. And I appreciate the side quest list, but I'm looking for ones that will more specifically do something useful to my character. I don't want to know if it's true, but I ASSUME the daedric weapons/armor is the best in the game, so I grow tired and see no point of most quests/dungeons now.

Get all the shouts, kill all the named dragons. You can either look up the shout locations on a site like UESP, or, if you prefer to stay in character, go to the greybeards and ask if they've found a new word of power. Also shouting in some locations seems to trigger a radiant quest to find a new word of power - I shouted in front of Whiterun (stupid guard was talking smack about my magic skills so I shot a fus ro dah up in the air) and shortly thereafter I received an anonymous letter via courier saying they'd heard the power of my thu'um in Whiterun, pointing me towards a new word wall.

Side quests may not give you anything particularly useful high end, but there are plenty of uniques to pick up. Not to mention the stories involved with them are pretty neat.

Daedric quests are pretty similar, but the stories involved in them are a little better fleshed out.

(Not telling you that daedric stuff is better or worse) :ermm:

Daedric Quests for sure. Also, go out and explore, especially nordic ruins as you'll find you meet different ghosts and people that offer interesting quests. try out being a vampire and see if you like it, thats what i plan on doing.

take up a new skill, go play a diff game then come back, create new, odd characters. rp. make a glass cannon sneak mage (very fun), just get creative!!

Do stupiud busywork Radiant Quests ad infinium.

That's supposed to be enough for us.

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 11:14 am

Hyperbole masked as sarcasm...

You work for Mehrunes? :blink:

Nah, but seriously... there is TONS of unique content outside of the repetitive Radiant fetch system.

There are all sorts of stories, equipment, and content people are going to miss because outside of the Guild/Main Quest mindset... people just don't take an attitude of "If its a quest, it matters and I should do it."

Even if you somehow manage to do everything, there's still plenty of fun to be had kiting multiple dragons into Riverwood. :biggrin:

Have you gathered all nine dragon priest masks? Those dungeons and quests are all pretty time consuming as the dungeons are all large. Plus there are plenty of tough battles along the way, unless you have outfitted your character with ridiculous armor and weapons.

You won't start finding Deadric items until level 45 to 47 or so. If that is all you are looking for at this point, it may be a while (?).

As far as fun stuff, Angi's Camp has a mini game worth playing at least once (very south end of the map. Go through Helgen, then West past the dragon head, then keep going west. It's one of the little house icons on your heads up).

The Eldergloom/Nettlebane quest was pretty fun, but nets you a crap weapon. You get to see the fruits of your labor forever more though, so it was worth it to me. (Go talk to Danica Pure-something at the Temple of Kynereth in Whiterun).

I spent a lot of time climbing the mountains on the south side of the Throat. It netted Froki and some other fun side stuff, but nothing serious.

There is a miscellaneous quest from the collage that turns into a side quest. The fragment you found on one of the early collage quest. It will have you travel all over skyrim. It's in investigation quest/fetch, but is pretty fun and takes and hour or two to complete depending on how fast you plow through dungeons.

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 9:37 am

My word, if your journal is not full of random misc quests to do for irrelevant people throughout Skyrim, you must be some hardcoe skyrim warrior who's also painfully efficient. I shall lick you now.

Ooooh.

push a cart up to high hrothgar then ride it down, and get a video if it works.

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 11:43 am

After you go through all the guild, civil war, MQ quest lines, all you really have left is just collecting stuff and exploring.

Liar's Den, Broken Oar Grotto, and Blackreach are "dungeons" that have stood out for me.

I have a set of every armor being shown off on my manaquins. I have chests full of imperial, forsworn, and Thalmor armor.

My Whiterun house has at least 1 of every clothing item I have come across...

I have a huge collection of Black Soul Gems filled with Thalmor Agents.....

Take the leap of faith at Bard's Leap Summit....

Read the book Lost Legends (or find one of the quest items in a dungeon) to start the Forbidden Legend. The end reward probably won't be anything useful for you, but it's a fun ride with some interesting dungeon bosses.

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 5:28 pm

Oh, then there's the book about Red Eagle - that's another interesting side quest, started when you pick up the book (usually in a Forsworn camp....)

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 12:56 pm

One thing I kind of save for the end or when I'm thinking of starting a new game is to make a 360 degree walk around the map just to see the boundaries and to see if there's anything I missed while traveling. You might try that.

Learn pickpocketing, steal Alvor's weapon and replace it with a poisoned dagger. Cast fury on him while he's next to Sigrid and get him to kill his wife. Bonus points if when the fury spell wears off and he says, "Who did this?" as he looks upon Sigrid's corpse.

Go to Black Reach and kill the dragon in there.

Err... don't you mean

Spoiler

Labyrinthian?

. Cause I've only been in Black Reach once.. but I'm pretty sure there wasn't a Dragon in it.

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 10:57 am

No, they mean Blackreach. :thumbsup:

No, I mean Black Reach. If you want to know click on the spoiler tab.

Spoiler

Go into Black Reach and in the middle of the dungeon there is a huge orange ball, use your Unrelenting Shout on the orange ball and it will make a "ding" sound, prepare to fight a named dragon.
