The Skyrim/Elder Scrolls thread

[The Islands of Versilia]

The Companions always gave me the impression of a group of heroic warriors way past their heyday. I just wish there was more to their story and i think the Silver Dawn should have played a larger role.

You mean the Silver Hand?

[San Lumen]

What makes you say that?

What heroic band of warriors goes around intimidating civilians?

I wish it was fleshed out why that needed to be done. Yet more evidence of Bethestha's lazy writing

Yes actually lol, dont know where Silver Dawn came from.

Maybe its because ive been doing the dawnguard storyline lately.

[Great Aletia]

Silver Dawn ain't a bad name for a bank or a knightly order.

They were paid to do it. That’s why they’re nothing more than thugs for hire. If they aren’t above intimidating and beating up people, then what respect do they deserve?

[The Huskar Social Union]

Fuck i forgot how broken stealth is in skyrim. I just fed on an imperial officer in the morthal guard barracks in front of like three dudes with a light right next to me and no one saw it

If that’s the case I’m doing the radiant quest hired muscle anymore

Stealth is OP as shit. I even tried gimping myself by playing as an orc or Nord in heavy armor but the stealth enchantments and skill tree makes you a freaking ghost.

Ive not made stealth a priority, ive only put 4 skill points into it and its currently at 60, but it coupled with being a vampire makes me practically invisible to most people the second i start crouching, even in some well lit areas. Its hilarious.

If you dump your skills in stealth/alchemy and do an assassin build it gets so easy it's boring. Brb, OHKOing dragons because I drank an OP damage potion, had a sneak attack, 15x stealth damage buff, and gauntlets with backstab. And this is without exploiting the alchemy/enchant/smith loophole.

The Silver Hand are the good guys of the Companions questline.

Change my mind.

I wish we would’ve been able to reconcile with the SH after becoming Harbinger. Maybe dropping the hired muscle stuff and become real monster hunters.

That would have been interesting

[The Islands of Versilia]

NGL I couldn’t give a damn if we have to sacrifice Aela leaving the Companions or dying if it meant getting the Companions back to its former glory (by bringing the Silver Hand into the fold). If she wants to die as a dog she can ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

why do you hate her so much?

Not hate her, just don’t care about her. She’s bland as a character in my opinion and is a werewolf, so I’ve no qualms with her no longer being around.

Now my power attacks have stopped working.

Thank you Todd Howard for your deliverance.

Monster Hunters. That's exactly what the Companions should have been. Non-magical Elder Scrolls Witchers. Not glorified mercenaries. The Fighters Guild did the mercenary stuff and was three times as heroic as the Companions. Honestly, the Fighters Guild was my favorite questline from Oblivion.

She's fucking obnoxious. Won't shut up about hunting and shit. That gets old. Plus, she's a Daedra worshiper. Fuck that nonsense.

The only reason people like her is because of her skimpy outfit.

Also she is voiced by Claudia Christian which is always a bonus

Eh. I like her as Legate Rikke better.

Yeah, Rikke is a great. If only she was a marriage option. Or a High Queen option.

[Impaled Nazarene]

Well unless the Empire can guarantee puppet High Kings after Elisif dies there is no reason for them to allow any further ones. After Ulfric killed Torygg Skyrim lost its High King privileges the Jarls are now the highest authority below the Empire.

I prefer Rikke as a military officer, personally. Not a wife or monarch.

What?

Where is this coming from? There is zero mention of abolishing the position of High King by anyone. Skyrim isn't Cyrodiil - it's an autonomous province with it's own ruler that also serves as representative of the Emperor. Having the Emperor directly rule Skyrim would cause too many problems; when the Jarls have disputes, they need to go to the High King. Skyrim's problems aren't necessarily the Empire's problems and therefor not the Emperor's concerns. That's why the subdivisions exist. Problems in the Hold go to the Jarl, problems in the Province go to the High King, problems in the Empire go to the Emperor. It's a simple system that has proven effective enough. Torygg's murder was an extreme, isolated incident. Something like that isn't common and there is nothing to suggest it will be anytime soon.

There is no mention of abolishing the Moot. Not by the Stormcloaks, not by the Empire. It's not a thing. If the title of High King/Queen can survive the whole Potema debacle, it can survive a comparatively minor blip-on-the-radar like the Stormcloak Rebellion. Besides that, there is nothing to suggest Elisif will become the High Queen anyway. Yes, she's most likely to be, but that doesn't mean she will be.

I'd personally pick Balgruuf first and foremost, with Brunwulf as a close second.

I was giving my opinion that the empire should abolish the High King not saying that they wanted to. Last thing you want is another Ulfric after Elisif dies.
