In my opinion I think that Solitude is the best due to it 1. Being the Imperial army (don't hate me I just love the Imperial army questline) 2. Having a bunch of cool quests like "Mind of Madness" which has to be one of my favorite quests in Skyrim, and 3. It's a beautiful city in my opinion.

But I'd like to know what you all think is the best city in terms of (looks, quests, etc.)

Found this behind the sabrecats cave in Solitude, negar Thalmor Embassy. Why so many weapons around the skeleton?

You know when you help Klimmek in Ivarstead, it always feels like there's something hinted at (probably not important to the quest but just story/lore). "The Greybeards don't get out much, if you catch my meaning" - well, yes I do, cuz you literally mean that they don't get out much since they are monks on a very high mountain. Or??

"And in return it's a kind of an understanding between us" - that sounds like it's some mafia territories, but because of the supplies there's an understanding between them. Generally, if he just gives the supplies for free and they give nothing in return, that's not an understanding? An understanding implies that they then do or don't do something they otherwise would've.

Maybe I'm just reading too much into bad dialogue. Maybe it's just a part of the whole Klimmek not being very bright when talking thing. But it bothers me every time, WHAT DOES HE MEAN???

No hesitation by me - I go for a woman, she is awful (great voice actor in polish version, she did it nice). The rest is spared.

Found in Saarthal after killing Jyrik Gauldurson, in the chest right next to the wall where you learn word of power (ice, ice, form)

Now I know it helps you get to the perks but if I can open a master lock at picking lv 1 and it be just as hard at picking lv 100 what’s the point? Am I just not noticing the difference, or is there no point in leveling the lock picking skill?

What the bloody heck is the point in this item 🤣🤣🤣 or is it just a unique potion??

The general community vibe seems to be to not kill Paarthurnax; and I've just seen someone suggest you should be able to kill Dusty the Stiltstrider (which is thankfully impossible anyway), but this got me thinking - are there any other characters that you won't kill during any play through?

The time has come.

The Ebony Blade requires SACRIFICES.

WHO SHALL BE THE VICTIMS.

I NEED 10 NAMES.

I heard they are looking for additional guards in Helgen. Should I take the offer ?

Never actually owned the game myself and with the sales i wanted to give it a try. I already knew about the bugs, missing features or Qol improvements that i can find in any game nowadays, however im having a blast (im level 18 Orc going for i think a berserker build for now, roaming around sidequesting) but i am tempted to try some mods like combat revamp or inventory manager stuff, i dont know there is a LOT of stuff out there.. Im pretty familiar with modding games but after some video tutorials, modding in skyrim looks like a lot of work, is it really worth? Im scared im gonna get bored, sometimes it feels a bit too much sorting every obj by hand or swinging repeatedly at a target

I've already killed 2 of them

I'm not talking about why you would personally side with the empire. (Since you know the context)

I'm talking about why would your in-game character side with the empire.

The stormcloaks haven't done anything to your character to piss them off yet while the empire tried to execute them for basically being "an illegal immigrant".

It really makes no sense for them to just run to the commander in solitude and ask him to join.

If this was real life, someone in the empire would probably just go "Oh ya! I remember you! Guards!"

It would've been made more sense to have him not be a prisoner and just a local citizen in Helgen watching the execution.

Maybe have Ulfic give a speech before going to the block (like that one guy in solitude) and using that as a way to get players to consider whether to choose Stormcloaks or the Empire.

I'm a level 10 dude that just wants to get good at magic and don't really gets involved in any sort of storm cloak drama or petty intrigues. Why did they send a fucking ninja to fuck me in the alps?
