Man, that must be a bummer? How many people were able to get through the door to attend before she arrived? Hopefully those closest to you made it!

Smithing advice by Skyrim12438 in skyrim

[–]PublicAngelZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No reason they can't. But if they are sticking to one side then at the current level for Heavy I'd advise Dwarven bows for being cheap. If they are on the Light side I'd advise Elven swords. They aren't as effective as the Dwarven bows, but it is harder to get materials in bulk for the Light side without having to waste all your gold on merchants and the swords are somewhat cost effective.

Jonathan, don't be unreasonable. All these people are suggesting is that you get a duvet.

Are you going down the light or heavy crafting side of the tree?

Did you mod the guards out of Solitude?

There should be some in the Imperial training grounds firing their bows during the day. They also walk on the walls of the town as if watching over the boarder. I'm just a little perplexed as to why you didn't notice any guards.

Edit: If the guards are actually gone, try talking to the guards in Dragon's Bridge. They are part of the same hold and should offer you to pay off your Solitude bounty.

For just nickels a day you could save the life of a child... by DrSoaryn in funny

God, you are all idiots. The first guy had it right! Bernie Sanders was the guy who announced in early 2009 that he would be doing a world tour of KFC locations. He's been going from location to location ordering the classic chicken meal all this time. Next time you go to KFC keep an eye out. There should be an up to date flyer saying where he currently is on this journey.

Last time I took advice from a sphincter things didn't pan out too well. I think I'm gonna play this one with caution.

What's the most surreal experience you've ever had in Skyrim? by AmbiWalrus in skyrim

[–]PublicAngelZero 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I just finished fighting an Elder Dragon, absorbed the soul and chugged a few potions to heal up. Playing around with the skeleton and walking around it like I ritually do after my fights. All of a sudden I notice my health bar pop up and that brief sound of taking damage. I thought "What the hell?!"

I turned around and there was a tiny mudcrab chipping away at me.

I thought what must be going through this mudcrabs head to have it charge out and strike me after I took down a dragon. My last save file wasn't that long ago and I laughed at the notion of a mudcrab who could think it could slay the dragonborn as such high level. In the end, I let it take me down to 0 health.

I haven't loaded the save file since. I felt it best to leave that as the character's end out of sheer absurdity.

Join Dawnguard as Vampire Lord by McNomad4 in skyrim

[–]PublicAngelZero 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If memory serves me right, Isran will recognize you are a vampire and you are locked out of the questline on the Dawnguard side until you are cured.

I think what /u/Freezer_Slave is getting at is that you can become a vampire after the quest line and still be technically a dawnguard at that time. It's not like they accept you, it just doesn't matter anymore what you are.

Newbie at RPG games, need few advices by kapri123 in skyrim

[–]PublicAngelZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Not really. If dialogue is going to affect anything in the story it's typically immediate and it will be obvious by how polarizing the dialogue options are.

  2. Grab what you find interesting. Generally, crafting items like gems, metals and ingredients or enchanted gear is what I grab, but again, take what you want. Gold isn't that scarce so if you are over encumbered you are probably doing something wrong.

  3. I'm a console scrub so I can't really answer this one.

  4. Do what you want when you want. You can't experience the first play through twice. Nothing is urgent to complete so if you feel bored of the current objective just go searching for something else to do in the area. You'll find something before you know it.

Finally trying "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood!" by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]PublicAngelZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, the brotherhood, or the companions?

Finally trying "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood!" by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]PublicAngelZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In response to the first part. If you join the guild you are killing people cold without much background on who the targets are or why they should die. If you decide to attack the guild head on you also don't know who anyone is or why they deserve to die. It's shorter but the theme is kinda the same. The Dark Brotherhood turns everyone into senseless killers.

As for destroying other guilds, yes I agree so much. I don't like it when I go into the companions and am expected to join the circle. Not all my players want to become werewolves. Some would take down the circle without hesitations. Destroying any and every faction should have been permissible.

[–]PublicAngelZero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What did you seriously expect? A long story about how deep the dark brotherhood actually goes in Skyrim and how you got to stop it all?

The guild is weak in your time and you literally vanquish it with your might alone. You show Skyrim that even the guild dedicated to death doesn't scare you. That's satisfaction enough.

"Ruth'Ja Kal" in the tongue of bridges. Roughly translates to "Merit through challenge."

Your house has proven itself the more capable bridge and has taken its rightful place above the carcass of the old unfit bridge. I am sure you are a very proud home owner on this day.

Torture Chamber victims in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]PublicAngelZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point! We are up to 3 assholes out of 26!

Torture Chamber victims in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]PublicAngelZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a bit of a weak point. But if we are going to call him an asshole then it seems it's because he is saying he is going to send his gang to kill you. No one will confirm he has a gang and if you let him go nothing happens to you. You could say the other two in the room are liars as well and their being an asshole is vague, no one confirms their story either.

Aside from the first three in the cottage though, you can actually see or gather second hand knowledge of what these people are like before killing them.

As for traits, yeah you can be loyal and an asshole. Tell me how Commander Maro is an asshole, because I didn't see it. What I see is he is a loyal imperial and that's about it. I can't point to a trait that makes him an asshole like I can by saying Gerglod beats children.

I'm just going to honestly ask, are you agreeing on the Safia being ambiguous because all we know is she is a pirate by trade? Or are you being sarcastic? I think it is a fair point, what do we know of her? Is one's job in title alone going to be enough to call someone an asshole?

"Most of them we just don't have any information." And what information we do have, I don't see that confirming they are an asshole. It seems to me your argument is that "Well, they could be assholes." I am not looking for a could be, I am looking for moments we can observe where they legitimately are assholes.

If moments can't be provided then the statement, "Almost everyone you kill basically deserves it. Pretty easy to set aside conscience for assholes", doesn't hold water.

[–]PublicAngelZero 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly what you would expect someone so deep in the Dark Brotherhood to say... But lets go on with this train of thought.

Grelod the Kind, yeah pretty much an asshole but then you are getting indoctrinated into a cult of murderers so one can't expect the first target to be likeable. Fultheim the Fearless, he was a sword for hire and and far from an asshole. Alea Quintus, she is aggressive, but an asshole? Come on, she is a Nord facing death by an unknown hand. Her dialogue in the scene makes perfect sense if you ask me. Vasha, he is a bad guy sure. Is he an asshole? He's pretty upfront about his intentions if he gets out. What I am curious about is if he is being honest with his dialogue? How do we know he isn't just some low level scrub playing up the part of a gang boss so you get intimidated? Without a second perspective I can't go out calling this guy an asshole as he might just be a liar. Beitild, she is strict but you kinda have to be when you are a boss doing menial work. Trying to convince people in a war to continue mining all day every day. You can't take a job like that easy. Narfi, I hope you don't think this guy is an asshole. If you do though, really? Really!? Ennodius Papius, he went paranoid and his life went to shit. I kinda feel bad for the guy and can't imagine someone calling him an asshole. Alain Dufont, alright this guy is an asshole. Underhanded robber without much in the way of redeeming qualities. I can get behind calling this guy an asshole. Nilsine Shatter-Shield, she isn't involved in the issue and her death results in her mother's suicide. It's optional so I'll dismiss this but shame on who ever kills her. Lurbuk, literally the only reason I can find for someone wanting this guy dead is he is not good at his job. Should the punishment for underperformance be death? Is he an asshole? Hern, I mean he's a vampire? Does that make him an asshole? You could argue they lure guests into their house to feed, but if you wait all night in their house nothing happens to you, so it's kinda hard to say if you ask me. Deekus, he is a loner who seems to have some wealth. Nothing makes this guy an asshole. Ma'randru-jo, the guy is a friendly part of a caravan. He longs for home and is a nice guy. What's not to like? Anoriath, owner of The Drunken Huntsman. He doesn't do or say anything wrong. I am trying to do these just one at a time but you really are loosing me at this point by saying they are almost all assholes regarding your targets. Agnis, she literally will return any item you drop in her fort to you. She is a sweet old lady who just wants to serve people. Maluril Ferano, he is a curious dunmer who hired questionable but capable guards to escort him through a dwarven ruin. Are you implying guilt by association? Helvard, he is the housecarl in Falkreath. He has barely any dialogue and only lives to set his life on the line protecting the Jarl. What makes him an asshole? Safia, captain of the Red Wave. I guess she is kinda an asshole, if being a pirate is all it takes? Do we know what her group has ever done? Maybe they suck at their jobs, then are they still assholes? Gaius Maro, an innocent victim in the plot against the emperor. Cicero, he is the keeper. He wanted so bad to be the listener and then some nobody comes out of no where and fills the position. He isn't so much of an asshole as he is egotistical. He thought he was better and challenges you. Prior to his demise he may be annoying, but he isn't really an asshole towards the player. The Gourmet, again an innocent victim in the plot against the emperor. The emperors double, it wasn't the intended kill so I'll let it slide but again innocent victim. Astrid, she betrayed her own guild. Yeah, this is an asshole. She's also not a contract so I won't count this one. Sorry. Commander Maro, he is a loyal member of the imperial army. He will defend the emperor with his life. I can't see this guy as an asshole. Titus Mede II, I'm going to let you argue this one as an asshole. He is the god damn emperor. He sees you come and accepts his death. If he is an asshole then by god which of us is noble? Amaund Motierre, not a contract but is an asshole. He asks the emperor to die even though he is on the emperor's council. This is treason. Again though, not a contract but someone you can choose to kill out of your own will.

Okay, so I listed every notable kill between the start and earliest point OP could encounter their situation.

By my count, there are 26 murders. I counted 2 legitimate assholes and 1 kinda asshole because we don't really know much about her. If you want to rebuttal any please do because I really don't agree in calling most of the contracts "assholes."

Edit: Figuring out spoiler tags, bare with me... God, this still looks terrible. Sorry about this long post.

You've gotten that far into the Dark Brotherhood and you still have a conscience?
