So i am lvl 34, really high sneak level and 100 in pickpocket, you know how guards are suposed to comment on your skills? Yeah, i joined the college by mistake because i thought Enthir was there(for a thieves guild quest), i didn't even enter the college! Farald asked me to shoot at a symbol on the floor, i bought the spell from her(the first magic thing i had ever bought in the game) and shot at the symbol and then turned right back around and left..
The problem is that now 70% of all guards say ''You're that one from the college! Heard about you!'' when i haven't even seen the insides of it with my characters eyes!
It really ruins immersion, i know it was my fault though but it svcks..
Anyone else have this ''problem''?
With my first character I did basically what you did, but with the Companions, and got the companion version of the Mage's greeting from the guards for the life of that character. It was annoying.
With this character they keep giving me the, "Hail, Sithis!" greeting and I stopped doing the DB questline in the middle so when they say it to me I just want to tell them to shut up. What bothers me the most about this one is how would a guard know about my involvement with the DB? (I know how the devs do it.) I don't wear the stupid DB armor that says to the world, "Hey, look I'm a member of the DB!!" and I haven't killed anyone in a long time. It's dumb. I also get a lot of greetings about my low magic skills that I don't use. I don't walk around with magic spells glowing in my hands so why do they think I have magic skills anyway? I don't use them and I don't display them so why should they comment on them? They shouldn't. I wish Beth would just stop with the psychic guards. I like that they are friendly and a lot of what they say is nice and adds to the atmosphere of the game, but too many of the personal comments are too frequently inaccurate for them to be worthwhile. And even when they are accurate I still find them irritating because my character isn't obviously displaying the traits. The guard has to be psychic to know these things about me to comment on them and that irritates me (how does he know I'm a "sneak thief" if I'm not wearing TG armor or actually stealing and sneaking right then or how does he know I have enchanting skills). I really dislike psychic NPCs.
