Quests for a Knight?

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 3:31 am

Hello my fellow forumers.

Just made what might possibly be my strongest character (aside from my Barbarian and my Witch Doctor): an Imperial Knight. But this post is not about what to spec him in, but rather, what should he do? I don't like the idea of becoming a werewolf, so Companion are out. So are the Daedric quests, he is a godly man after all.

So what quest chains should I complete?

You could destroy the DB, seems like a knightly quest, and why not do the companions you could make it your quest to cure them of their lycanthropy. It's no brainer that your gonna side with the imperials, and you could travel the roads helping ( doing side quests ) people as you travel or stopping into a town for the night, you could also do the daedric quest ( but always choose the good option ) just to make sure such mighty relics don't fall into the wrong hands. It's just a shame that you cannot undermine the TG as well, but I can see it causing issues seeing how it's tied into anther quest... *hint, hint, nudge, nudge* Other then that all I can think of is be as " good " as you can. :biggrin:

Become the agent of Mara and Dibella (Separate Quests), Do any quests for the Jarls, Clear out Riften's Skooma Problem, and of course give a coin to the beggars

He still isn't as strong as my weakest character! =p

But in all seriousness....there aren't a lot of quest chains <=/

Destroy the Dark Brotherhood
Destroy Azura's star
The Markarth quest
Brand-Shei's quest
The Civil War questline

You'll mostly just have to roleplay.... <=/

People get turned off the companions by the werewolf thing, but depending on how you look at it you could be joining them to lift the werewolf curse and restore their honourable nord ways.

That's how I looked at it with my " good " toon, I was just helping them get rid of it.

Good question! The Companions would be out anyway IMO thanks to their very strong Nordic feel.

I think you could probably forget about the big 4 factions: No Companions, no DB or TG, and no College.

The Civil War, you could I guess go with the Empire. But it doesn't feel like a very knightly questline IMO. I'd skip it.

That leaves the main quest and side quests. MQ could work; it's fairly heroic. But there are some parts where you're doing silly, non-knightly things. I'd see how far you can RP it, and quit when you feel like it. Opening up dragons is a good idea for this character, of course.

There are a lot of good knightly sidequests - especially in Solitude, so I'd make that your home. Elisif the Fair is a good patron/matron for you. Go to the Blue Palace and see what needs doing!

There are actually some Daedric quests that would work for this kind of character, I think. Without spoilers, I'd say Meridia for sure (just think of doing it on your own terms), Peryite perhaps (though I haven't done this yet myself - but think of it like you're interested in helping the afflicted, I guess), and there are a bunch of others that you could think of as screwing over the Daedra. Go to Markarth, walk up the street to the right, and see what kind of trouble you can help out with :).

I had to adjust my paladin type character into a battered, grim paladin/mercenary. He was a good guy, but jaded. You might consider a similar approach in order to get through some of the quests offered by Skyrim.

Then, just by ruin-delving, you'll find lots of baddies to kill, and even some people to help. That's major spoiler territory, though, and anyway if you just consider yourself an adventuring, traveling, questing knight, that should give you plenty of reason to take detours into ruins for no other reason than that they're there.

Oh, hey, would you mind posting more details about your barbarian and witch doctor builds? Sound interesting.

Slay the Wolf Queen in the name of Arkay

Become the Champion of Mara, Dibella, and Kynareth

Honor Talos by slaying all Thalmor lackeys


These are just a few of the things that I do, as a Paladin

So are you trying to boost your post count by quoting people DarkDragons? Really?

Meridia's Daedric quest can be seen as a good quest since Meridia isn't completely evil, and it involves killing a Necromancer that plans on taking over everything.

the thing with the champ of dibella quest is... you need to break the law to get into it. so it is not possible.


also.. well... there are hundreds of quests you can make. just help the people of skyrim.. become the thane of all holds, etc.

You can "fail" the molag bal quest in a way that seems to be a detriment to the daedric prince. When yu start the quest it already seems as though you are helping the vigilant anyways

Do as many of the Bounty quests for the Hold stewards as you can. A knight in full plate armour, striding into a bandit cave to deliver some justice with his greatsword... pretty applicable, I think.

Slaying the Dragon is always a classic quest for a knight..

If your character hates mages, go to Winterhold and kill everyone there. Pile them up and burn them with a torch, drink some Wine and celebrate.
