The Elder Scrolls v. Chim is for bitches, Amaranth is the real deal - Games

He's the guy who made the dark brotherhood quests? i'm suuuuuuure all he's done has been excellent 💯% goood shit, and I haven't personally written a rant about him on this very forum, no siree 👌

hey you leave casablanca and citizen kane out of your big goth titty fan fiction, k? I would say 'one out of 25 ain't bad', but seriously the thieve's guild is so fucking stupid that it cancels the DB quest right the fuck out.

Is there a mod that adds a tunnel system to Skyrim that allows you to travel underground using the Dwemer ruins?

Blackreach is sorta like that. I would hope a mod that does add some sort of weird FO3 metro tunnels style travel would utilize Blackreach, because that place is cool, and I would have loved more content in there.

Wasn't there a Trainwiz mod that did something similar?

Gotta say, my greatest regret from my Skyrim days is never actually getting to Blackreach and exploring it

i love how some of the doors are just slapped onto the ground I mean just look at this! https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/112970/2c36e430-27ef-45e7-8e07-44ff9e278563/image.png

I never found out about the secret dragon in Blackreach until like the 3rd or 4th play-through Like the weirdest thing to discover

That giant glowing ball is just asking for a shout. How could you miss it?

I tried shooting an arrow at it, throwing a fireball, then an icicle, then lightning, and finally using the tcm command just so I could hit it with my sword before realizing that shouting at it was the objective.

Yeah, it never occurred to me to even try and interact with the ball before I read about it online. If you're not fusrohdahing all the physics objects in a room, there's not always much you can do to the environment.

It's the circle of life

Tbh, if 80% of the game was hidden within dungeons, I'd probably miss it because I cannot stand some of the overly long dungeons in Skyrim. They feel way too stretched for how basic they tend to be, most of them feel chokingly linear to progress through and usually all you do is kill the same enemy over and over again or you have to solve some braindead puzzle. And when I eventually do get through them, I'm usually about done with the game so I just close it.

I feel ashamed because I used cheats to complete the crimson nirnroot quest located in a shack in Blackreach. I also have low stats despite being level 30 and I hated it that I'd have to wander through Blackreach killing Falmer and Dwemer stuff. Took some effort. I just went to it for the main quest. I also cheated to build a huge house in Hjaalmarch with Hearthfire. I should create a new save and start doing the quests again. I never completed the quest and never explored the Dawnguard nor Dragonborn DLCs. I don't feel like doing it before I finish the main questline.

I swear to god if Calcelmo asks for another Dwarven Arrow, for like the fifth time in this entire playthrough, I'm going to personally use my bow to shoot it so far up his ass he'll be able to TASTE why the Dwemer went extinct.

At this point I just noclip-speed-through Bleak Falls Barrow just to get dragons to start showing up.

Guess who just priority-mailed me an invite for an arrow to be shoved up his ass, I'm going to Markarth right this instant to accept his request, the Altmer son-of-a-bitch.

this sounds like the game bugged out the radiant quest and refuses to use another dwemer object you may have picked up, instead opting to trigger every time you fired and retrieved a dwemer arrow.

I remember when I got that letter from Calcemo in my first playthrough, mostly because Calcemo must have been freaking psychic. I stod in the Drunken Huntsman and was very indecisive if I was going to buy the dwemer bow that was for sale. It costed several hundred and I thought that was a lot of money in Skyrim (first TES title for me) so I asked my friend, whom I was talking with over skype, if it was worth it. I decided to buy it and the moment I stepped outside the shop a messenger approached me and gave me Calcemo's letter.

Honestly Calcelmo's letter is what got me to actually go to Markarth on my first run. Aside from the Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood and Sanguine's quest I don't think you're actually required to go there. The last few runs I've done I still hadn't been to Markarth after 50 hours in.

Markarth is truly the Detroit of Skyrim.

Riften is more Chicago than Detroit. There is actually money there, just the corruption levels are high.

But Markarth is one of the richest cities in Skyrim? It literally has the only bank in the entire game and unlike Riften the corruption is so blatant they even named the inn after the people who own the city and the prison. Markarth also has way lower crime (other than the "crime" they let happen on purpose such as purposely having a forsworn member kill an imperial spy) in the actual city, as the Silver Bloods have direct control over the guards who will murder you if you resist them. They even have hired thugs that work with those guards to suppress the population. This is also why it has the terrible reputation for it's prison as being inescapable. Riften on the other hand is constructed entirely from wood, has regular events with thieves getting killed doing crimes stealing, has rival "gangs" trying to vie for control of the industry (karliah/argonian fence/ honeybrew and the Windhelm thieves guild) and has citizens actively rebelling against the crime ring. So basically Riften is like a shittier Markarth in that they dont control their criminal organization well at all, they dont control their citizens nearly as well, they have no center for money (treasury), no center of art/culture (multiple smiths, silver working for everything from plates to necklaces, dwemer research going on by one of the most qualified academics in Skyrim, and an active mine with a bustling mercenary trade for the forsworn they keep producing to keep them coming) Markarth is one of my favorite cities though because of how beautiful it is once you dodge the crowd of forced dialogues near the front of the city tbh and I am really surprised Riften of all places would be considered better. Though from a people standpoint there are a lot more likable individuals in Riften. Honestly in wealth it seems to be in this order: Whiterun and Solitude Windhelm and Markarth Riften and Falkreath Winterhold, Dawnstar and Morthal Various hold villages

Detroit was one the richest cities in the US, Markarth is old Detroit before shit fucked up, so its Soon to be Detroit™

Whiterun is still the only city I'll ever care about.

I'll tell you, it's because of one line he says that makes me like him above all else; "I'll not sit idly by while a dragon burns my hold and slaughters my people." That's a Jarl I can get behind. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

says the guy who does nothing but sit idly by while a dragon burns his hold and slaughters his people.

*dragons burning hold and slaughtering its people* "oh my god, he has Airpods on, he can't hear us oh my god!"

Considering all the stall merchants basically turn into slaughtervikings at the merest hint of flapping wings, he really doesn't have to do much. 'One does not simply land in Whiterun'

He does send a few guards to Riverwood.
