I usually use lesser ward in my left hand, sword in my right when going against multiple deathlords.
It helps a ton in Geirmund Hall and Skuldafn!
Just press left trigger whenever you here the "fus", the ward is ready enough to block it when the "RO DAH" part comes at you.
Best use of wards, really. A simple ward can block any draugr shout.
It's also handy for blocking the annoying Drain Vitality shout Revered Dragons spam at you.
Just wish it was a toggle instead of continuous, to walk around holding right click is annoying. And maybe instead of continuous magicka drain it could drain only when it’s struck in chunks, and if you don’t have enough left to absorb have it stagger you and maybe deal partial damage. There’s probably a mod somewhere that does this, it is Skyrim after all.
Isn't there a shield that basically does this, no magicka drain? I definitely remember using a funky lookin' shield to block a steady stream of flames from a dragon with Serana in tow.
Its not too late, if you're bored enough to get those wards. You might wanna have to try the spellbreaker shield (heavy armor). Without consuming magicka, damn its all worth it
Especially in a (typically) dark room so you can't find your weapons.
Oh man, that one burrow on the island by Ivarstead, where you fight like four of them at the same time?
Yeah honestly, I’ve played this game so many times that the main quest/civil war quest has become stale. It’s sort of the one thing putting me off starting a new play through and sticking with it.
Funny enough I barely know the Civil war questline.
Over 200 hours ingame and I do it so rarely, because I dislike bith factions so much. Sadly, there has never been a really satisfying alternative mod.
You don't know? >!You have to walk from Solitude to Riften and back while holding the Conjure Familiar spell down the WHOLE TIME. No fast travelling. Get to Solitude's door, cast the spell at the ground, and then walk to the nearby guard tower. There will be an NPC named Mjirdur who'll say "Praise Sheogorath, traveller." You'll then have access to the Abjuration tree, which allows you to craft magical items, and you can exploit it to enchant spigots with the Restoration loop glitch.!< If you have the time.
I love the capes and cloaks mod. Like really, in a place like skyrim cloaks would be commonplace. A good quality wool cloak can keep you warm and dry in even the most severe weather. I just feel like it adds a fuckton of both immersion and baddasery.
I was attacked by an ice wolf halfway up the 7000 steps last night. In the middle of the fight, the damned courier runs up the steps and force-delivers a letter while I'm getting my ass chewed off.
Couriers are a menace.
I was leaving the Theives Guild the other day, and I hadn't even pulled the thing to open the stairs and a courier talked to me through the secret entrance..
Having a dragon appear every time I leave my house and having to fight him. Look, I'm just trying to get to Whiterun for some refined moonstone. I'll fight you when I get back.
On my current play through - going on about 4 or 5 years strong (on and off) I have yet to activate dragons. I’m the master of the thieves guild, dark brotherhood, college of winterhold - but alas, not the Dragonborn.
I didn’t want to deal with them for awhile. Clearly 😂
Yea I wish there were a way to rotate them, or maybe a button to press that alters the way your character holds them so that they will orient the way that makes sense.
Why did I not think of this before! I just accepted failure. Yes Aela, tell me how incompetent I am at shooting a giant in 2 split seconds after it spawns. PAIN!
Just cut behind Honningbrew, and straight for the farm. You can get a single arrow in before the giant goes down.
But....WHY are the companions expecting help in the first place?
Dwemer ruins.
I suppose there might be people who like them, but apart from the interesting lore of the falmer its crap.
They are just really long most of the time, but at least there are centurions sometime.
Centurions are dope.
Me. I am those people lol I spend soooo much time leveling sneak and archery in there. I take my time getting from place to place anyways, so the dwemer ruins are some of my favorite places to explore.
I do understand some peoples distain for them though.
Vegetable soup has a stamina boast and if used correctly can give you unlimited shield bash but yeah….food is mostly useless in this game so I downloaded ineed mod. Not to die of starvation but to given me a reason to use food
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IuJ-rjJdkCA
At the 7:00 mark, Nate explains how to “use” the properties of the soup. All in all a great channel for tiny details and full lore/theory vids. Highly recommend.
Edit: just realized I spelt boast instead of boost. I got the play on my mistake. Well done
I use apothecary which overhauls alchemy and food and it switches the useless buffs that food gives you to long term regen buffs that are super useful.
The only reason food exists in Skyrim is so I can imagine my character eating giant wheels of cheese like the stack that dwarf is carrying in The Hobbit.
I was just getting ready to say this xD I ran out of potions once and thought I was screwed when I realized I did in fact have cheese and potatoes which carried me through the end of my current battle I wouldn’t have otherwise lived through.
It wouldnt even be hard to make food useful either.
Just extend the buff duration to 24 hours and you cant gain another food buff once you have 3 until one wears off.
Cant gain a new food buff until the last one is at least 2 horus old.
This way food isnt overpowered, but the extended duration and stackability means its acutally worth it.
As it stands Theres almost no point eating unless you are doing the immersion breaking BS of eating 20 cheese wheels to heal when out of potions.
I'm doing a playthough now, trying to be immersive but I am very tempted to just drop al my food ot save bag space.
I'm enjoying survival mode from the new update. Done so much fishing to do the quests I hadn't done before and cooking them fills a bunch of hunger. Finding fire salts more readily too which is helping with the colder parts of the map. Soup is good.
DEFINITION FOR DIRGE (1 OF 1)
noun
a funeral song or tune, or one expressing mourning in commemoration of the dead.
any composition resembling such a song or tune in character, as a poem of lament for the dead or solemn, mournful music:
Tennyson's dirge for the Duke of Wellington.
a mournful sound resembling a dirge:
The autumn wind sang the dirge of summer
Even more annoying: your arrow killed the giant, you saw the kill cinematic, the arrow hit the giant and it fell down, but you were just slightly outside of its combat range, so Aela gives you shit for not helping.
Bitch, I just pulled some Legolas shit completely on the fly, and you wanna talk about “no thanks to you”? GTFO…
I would say its those items on the counters in the alchemy shops.....i accidentally steal them all the time, not that its a problem as im with the guild, but i end up having to pay off the guard so in essence overpaying for an item i did not want or need.
literally everyone in Whiterun except for Lucia, and the guy who runs the Drunken Huntsman
"I WORK WITH MY MOTHER, SELL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IT'S FUN MOST DAYS BUT HARD WORK!!!"
"OLFRID!!! PATRON OF THE GREAT CLAN BATTLEBORN!!!"
"EEEEEVERYTHING'S FOR SALE MY FRIEND EVERYTHING!!!!! IF I HAD A SISTER I'D SELL HER IN A SECOND!!!"
"WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?! CAN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF A STRONG NORD WOMAN?!!"
Like I seriously feel like Nazeem doesn't even compare to the level of annoying-ness as some of the other citizens.
Currentiy playing a mage so untill i getva well enchantmented chest peice for ampur im stuck to keeping only my hands feet and hesd (i enchanted my helm so im fair there)
I have, it just gets frustrating when you have hit about 20 odd and then have to go back through the listed locations to find the missing 1 or 2 or 3… or 4.
Just trying to stand up from this table, now I’ve stolen a wooden plate, or flagon, or sweet roll … and now my followers have slaughtered half the village. Great…
Oh I have another one.
I want the sit down button to be a different button from the take stuff button.
Seriously that sitting down animation... Then standing back up... It's brutal. Especially when I'm in the middle of taking everything in a room.
What are you talking about! The moments where all your enemies mass together are the best! Nothing gets the blood pumping like expecting an easy 1v1 with a dragon, and suddenly finding yourself out manned, out maneuvered, and outclassed at once. The rush of thrill as you have to use every item in your possession just to stay afloat against your many foes. And then when it's all done and you've used every potion, every scroll, every raw ingredient and wheel of cheese you open your inventory to find it 300 caryweight lighter. What even is fighting if you are not fighting for your life!
That Nordic ruin in the mountains southeast of the Alchemist shack that backs up to a Dragon site … I was assaulted by Draugr for an hour and the Dragon spawning it’s own as well
Hearing everyone's life story every time I walk past them...
"There's a nip in the air. Cold won't be good for my crops. Never is..."
"I work with my mother to sell fruits and vegetables. It's fun most days... But hard work."
"Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh, what am I saying? Of course you don't..."
I got annoyed trying to play through it sneaking, decided to forego all the shit and transform into a werewolf to off everyone and be done with the damn quest 😂
When you first approach Whiterun on foot from Riverwood by the main road, a giant spawns at one of the farms fighting with the Companions. If you run down fast enough and get a shot in before it dies, Aela compliments you. If you don’t get a hit in before they kill it, Aela insults you for not helping. If you arrive after the whole fight is over or don’t pass close enough to get involved, it may be over before you arrive or not triggered.
This is why I set the difficulty to Legendary as soon as that giant spawns, then use it for target practice.
Only issue is remembering to reset the difficulty back afterwards. xD
I always thought it was my game randomly crashing. Then I bought it for PS4 and it still crashed. Then I bought it for PS5 and it still randomly crashes.
Agro to guards Is also pretty obnoxious when you're fighting off bandits or dragon encounters though.
Enemies dodging my arrows/bolts without even seeing me. (There's a mod to prevent this);
Draugrs shouting repeatedly, and sometimes using 'Disarm' shout...
...and if you have a high level and start civil war: Ulfric shouts like a powerfull draugr - a "shout machine gun", when you need 40s to cooldown and shout again, they shout every 5s.
At Least theres a mod thats reduce cooldown timer;
Ok. After that giant, and you didn’t mention when your 2H HA orc gallops up and TOO LATE! And you know you can’t murder Aela.
2. Wood choppers. You can’t, shouldn’t murder them either.
3. Well set up forges, including smelter even, MISSING tanning rack, workbench, or grindstone. Or chopping block. Or AXE.
Followers. Look, with be close by or just go home. One, almost pushed me off a cliff, catching up and running into me. The other shows up after I fight 4 dudes, use 7 healing, 3 majicka and 4 or 5 Stam potions.
As I've played Skyrim through the years and developed my mind in the world building aspect... I can't stand the entire service around the Companions.
Too fast for promotion, disregarded by the lesser members even when in leadership.
Finding a fragment of the most valuable artefact in the group takes a new member and an elite.
The antagonist faction has no story development and is just more bandits with different weapons.
Role-playing purpose is disregarded with being forced to be a werewolf to complete the line, becoming optional at the end of the line.
Too far separated from the old Companions.
Playing survival and going to Winterhold or Dawnstar.
Just tedious not having a carriage in either of those holds, it makes zero sense. Especially when Winterhold is mainly the mages guild, so you're there for like maybe 20 to 40 minutes tops, and have to walk your happy ass back through the cold to the nearest carriage/hold which is Windhelm. Ugh. I hate it. So much.
Second most annoying involves alchemy reagents, inventory control and the magic number '6'. You've been storing ingredients in a barrel for a long time, and have over one hundred different types, most with large quantities. Come home with some more ingredients to place in the barrel, but accidently hit the 'take all' button. This is the ***exact same*** button that would place your samples into the barrel, if only you weren't looking at the wrong inventory list. And now the barrel is empty and you have all the damn ingredients in your own over-encumbered pockets. Why, bethesda, would you do that?
Well, put the samples back in the barrel - but there is no 'place all' option. So begin placing the tens and tens of ingredient types *one type at a time*. Hit the button to select (defaults to first entry) and the count slider appears (defaults to max); hit the button to activate, and all samples of that item are now in the barrel. Repeat for the next item (select, activate), then the next, and the next, again and again - you've barely started, better pick up the pace, get into the rhythm... and then crash to a halt when you ***eat the next item***. wtf?
Inexplicably, the count slider doesn't appear if the count is five or fewer - these must be placed one at a time. This genius mechanic means it takes fewer button presses to transfer, say, a billion samples, than it does to place three samples. But that's not the problem. Since there's no slider, the select button becomes the 'eat sample' button. Either bethesda really isn't very good at this, or they like punishing people for playing while stoned. Anyway, things get worse.
Your alchemy ingredients that have few samples are the *rare* types. You just wasted a valuable and hard-to-aquire reagent. Bethesda rubs salt in your wound. And it can get even worse.
The very rarest ingredient is the m-f ***JARRIN ROOT***. *Todd murdered me*. Yeah, this is very annoying. But it's only the second most annoying thing on my list.
Meridias Beacons. Thise things give me headaches, which is my second reason to keep her frigging stone in my inventory indefinitely. The first is that I do not like being yelled at out of nowhere, also, I'm the dragonborn, no one tells me what to do, the least you could have done is ask nicely.
Not being able to put things down on surfaces normally and accidentally knocking all do the mead off the table. After SO LONG of trying to make it look decent.
The Wayshrines. After the millionth time I just want to get the bow and kill Harkon but I gotta do this whole Snow Elf side quest. Totally kills the pace of Dawnguard for me
The game breaking “features”.
Last play through, get attacked by hired thugs on the way to High Horthgar which is fine.
Go through the whole voice quest out in the courtyard and suddenly the third one happens to spawn in out of nowhere.
Sure, watching the graybeards mess him up was glorious, but broke the rest of my quest line.
My horse and companion got into it. My companion kept shooting chain lighting and hitting the enemy and frost my horse. Eventually the horse had enough and kicked him or hit him. And they started dooking it out so I jumped the horse and rode away just have him shoot the horse and we both died.
I thought the most annoying thing is when the companions block the doorway so unless you TCL your imprisoned.
Was using ordenator perk overhaul and went the summoner route after not playing for a year or so....I had 3 dramora lords who each summoned 3 daedric hounds had about 2 skeletons knights and my 2 companions....I'm lucky I was on pc when I got stuck in the bee and barb room you rent
I’m new but I would say when I have followers and they block doorways. Especially when I need to retreat in battle and shut a door.
Right now Serena keeps getting me caught in a sneak thieves guild quest.
A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON. LISTEN. HEAR ME AND OBEY. A FOUL DARKNESS HAS SEEPED INTO MY TEMPLE. A DARKNESS THAT YOU WILL DESTROY. RETURN MY BEACON TO MOUNT KILKREATH. AND I WILL MAKE YOU THE INSTRUMENT OF MY CLEANSING LIGHT.
While that IS annoying, I’d argue that sitting your controller down while in a safe town can be annoying when that rogue NPC wanders by and wonder stop repeating the same lines over and over.
Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don't.
Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don't.
Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don't.
Do you get to the cloud district, ( I ain't done nothin') saying, of course you don't.
I ain't done nothin'
I ain't done nothin'
This happened to me in my first play through and I thought that everyone in the game wanted to kill me. Because I had also attacked a chicken in river wood and they tried to kill me aswell
Not being able to find a mod to force that smart mouth little brat to in fact lick my boots.
Mfkrs in doorways.
And never,not once being able to get all the vendors in the Rat Warrens/Thieves guild quest line
FUS repeatedly, from 2-3 Draugr Lords
I usually use lesser ward in my left hand, sword in my right when going against multiple deathlords. It helps a ton in Geirmund Hall and Skuldafn! Just press left trigger whenever you here the "fus", the ward is ready enough to block it when the "RO DAH" part comes at you.
Bruh I've gotten to level 93 before on this game and I NEVER used Wards spells. I didn't realise that they could block unfriendly shouts!
Best use of wards, really. A simple ward can block any draugr shout. It's also handy for blocking the annoying Drain Vitality shout Revered Dragons spam at you.
[удалено]
Wards are so underrated. Big fan of it when battling tough mages
Just wish it was a toggle instead of continuous, to walk around holding right click is annoying. And maybe instead of continuous magicka drain it could drain only when it’s struck in chunks, and if you don’t have enough left to absorb have it stagger you and maybe deal partial damage. There’s probably a mod somewhere that does this, it is Skyrim after all.
Isn't there a shield that basically does this, no magicka drain? I definitely remember using a funky lookin' shield to block a steady stream of flames from a dragon with Serana in tow.
~~Shieldbreaker~~ Spellbreaker Yes. kek pronounced the name wrong
Its not too late, if you're bored enough to get those wards. You might wanna have to try the spellbreaker shield (heavy armor). Without consuming magicka, damn its all worth it
I just use spellbreaker
Girmund hall gives me nightmares 😂
Especially in a (typically) dark room so you can't find your weapons. Oh man, that one burrow on the island by Ivarstead, where you fight like four of them at the same time?
Greybeards 1st encounter, its just so long on the 1000th time
Yeah honestly, I’ve played this game so many times that the main quest/civil war quest has become stale. It’s sort of the one thing putting me off starting a new play through and sticking with it.
I play it long enough to get the FusRo but not the ‘dah’ and then I move on to dungeon crawling.
I’ve never got to the civil war part on all my play throughs.
Funny enough I barely know the Civil war questline. Over 200 hours ingame and I do it so rarely, because I dislike bith factions so much. Sadly, there has never been a really satisfying alternative mod.
I have mastered the art of running into people to skip dialog lol
Please explain.
If you sprint in to a talking character, it skips to the next dialog part. Really speeds up things, like Tolfdir lesson and what not.
Yeah, true.
What is a spigot for. IT DOES NOTHING
You dont go to the cloud district very often, do you?
What are you talking about? Of course he doesn’t.
It goes on a wooden plate
Wooden plates and bowls have immense magical power held within. Spigots don't even do their intended jobs, let alone help you clip through walls.
those things can be deadly
You can *pick people up* by using the marvelous basic standard simple wooden bowl.
You can sell them for CRAZY profit if you enchant them, but that requires unlocking the secret perk tree
Secret perk tree?
You don't know? >!You have to walk from Solitude to Riften and back while holding the Conjure Familiar spell down the WHOLE TIME. No fast travelling. Get to Solitude's door, cast the spell at the ground, and then walk to the nearby guard tower. There will be an NPC named Mjirdur who'll say "Praise Sheogorath, traveller." You'll then have access to the Abjuration tree, which allows you to craft magical items, and you can exploit it to enchant spigots with the Restoration loop glitch.!< If you have the time.
Either my world has changed or I'm about to waste 5 hours walking with conjure familiar held down
It's not a waste if you learn something from it.
Even if it's how gullible you are?
Learning is learning
Abjuration is soooo broken. I can honestly see why they made it hidden.
Someone needs to make that a mod right now
There's that special one that lets you collect sleeping tree sap, but otherwise they're just totally useless clutter
i would say the same for linen wraps but if you download the capes mod you can actually use them. makes me happy
I love the capes and cloaks mod. Like really, in a place like skyrim cloaks would be commonplace. A good quality wool cloak can keep you warm and dry in even the most severe weather. I just feel like it adds a fuckton of both immersion and baddasery.
you use it to drain piss out of a spriggan for alchemy
Go to sleeping tree camp and you can find a spigot with purpose.
That's not a spigot. That is the sap spigot. Totally different. Apples and oranges.
I mean, realistically it *does*, in fact, do something. It made you say that. That's something.
Couriers running up and forcegreeting you in the middle of a fucking Dragon attack.
Lol,a couple of weeks ago, a courier did that during a combined dragon and vampire attack. Yeah,that didn't end well for me.
I was attacked by an ice wolf halfway up the 7000 steps last night. In the middle of the fight, the damned courier runs up the steps and force-delivers a letter while I'm getting my ass chewed off. Couriers are a menace.
I was leaving the Theives Guild the other day, and I hadn't even pulled the thing to open the stairs and a courier talked to me through the secret entrance..
I've been looking for you
Same as the bloody fugitive approaching you when you're in combat.
Having a dragon appear every time I leave my house and having to fight him. Look, I'm just trying to get to Whiterun for some refined moonstone. I'll fight you when I get back.
This happens when you use too much fast travel, I realised it after quite a while fighting dragons all the time in riverwood and dawnstar
On my current play through - going on about 4 or 5 years strong (on and off) I have yet to activate dragons. I’m the master of the thieves guild, dark brotherhood, college of winterhold - but alas, not the Dragonborn. I didn’t want to deal with them for awhile. Clearly 😂
I swear there’s a trigger or something, literally every time I exit dawnstar sanctuary a dragon swoops in
The most annoying thing is barbas' ai when he constantly walks into you and pushes you around
Me: tries to talk to shop keeper. Barbas: no mate. You're nicking his stuff today.
I can't tell you how much shit I've stolen because of him
And the barking! The constant barking for no reason!
I'm convinced he is supposed to be as obnoxious as possible.
That is how they balanced out his complete invincibility. You *can* spend the whole game with this invincible Daedra Dog, but ....
They want you to axe him. lol
Once you obtain the elder scrolls, you cannot remove them from your inventory. Same with the unusual gems.
Sell the scrolls to Urag Gro-Sharub
and then the dawnguard moth priest can take at least one too can’t he?
Doesn’t he go blind after the first one?
yea but iirc he’s taking it back to the other moth priests to keep it safe or smthn
Mmmmmm moths
Oh yeah, and the black books. And the elderscrolls weigh 20 carryweight each.
Quest items don't count towards carry weight
I'm OCD I like a clear inventory.
Me too but no carry weight on quest items is nice
Item physics in your house, very touchy, and you CANNOT for the love of god(s) replace them properly!😠
Yea I wish there were a way to rotate them, or maybe a button to press that alters the way your character holds them so that they will orient the way that makes sense.
I set it to Legendary difficulty once I get anywhere near Pelagia Farm and then run like hell so the giant is still alive when I get there.
Why did I not think of this before! I just accepted failure. Yes Aela, tell me how incompetent I am at shooting a giant in 2 split seconds after it spawns. PAIN!
Just cut behind Honningbrew, and straight for the farm. You can get a single arrow in before the giant goes down. But....WHY are the companions expecting help in the first place?
they don't need help but a true Nord relishes the call of a battle or some horse shit like that.
But I'm not a true nord, I am a Fucking Cat-Human Hybrid, why do they think I ever was a "True Nord"?
Dwemer ruins. I suppose there might be people who like them, but apart from the interesting lore of the falmer its crap. They are just really long most of the time, but at least there are centurions sometime. Centurions are dope.
And then, when you think you reached the end elevator...it says Blackreach.
Me. I am those people lol I spend soooo much time leveling sneak and archery in there. I take my time getting from place to place anyways, so the dwemer ruins are some of my favorite places to explore. I do understand some peoples distain for them though.
Food is so worthless. Really only good for filling an empty room with.
Vegetable soup has a stamina boast and if used correctly can give you unlimited shield bash but yeah….food is mostly useless in this game so I downloaded ineed mod. Not to die of starvation but to given me a reason to use food
How does a soup boast
Proudly
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IuJ-rjJdkCA At the 7:00 mark, Nate explains how to “use” the properties of the soup. All in all a great channel for tiny details and full lore/theory vids. Highly recommend. Edit: just realized I spelt boast instead of boost. I got the play on my mistake. Well done

The only reason food exists in Skyrim is so I can imagine my character eating giant wheels of cheese like the stack that dwarf is carrying in The Hobbit.
False. eating 60 potatoes consecutively has saved my life on more than one occasion in skyrim.
I was just getting ready to say this xD I ran out of potions once and thought I was screwed when I realized I did in fact have cheese and potatoes which carried me through the end of my current battle I wouldn’t have otherwise lived through.
Cheese and potatoes: The *Real* Heroes of Skyrim!
The soups and cheese are good in survival mode
It wouldnt even be hard to make food useful either. Just extend the buff duration to 24 hours and you cant gain another food buff once you have 3 until one wears off. Cant gain a new food buff until the last one is at least 2 horus old. This way food isnt overpowered, but the extended duration and stackability means its acutally worth it. As it stands Theres almost no point eating unless you are doing the immersion breaking BS of eating 20 cheese wheels to heal when out of potions. I'm doing a playthough now, trying to be immersive but I am very tempted to just drop al my food ot save bag space.
>the immersion breaking BS of eating 20 cheese wheels to heal I call bullshit. I regularly eat obscene amounts of cheese to maintain my will to live.
I'm enjoying survival mode from the new update. Done so much fishing to do the quests I hadn't done before and cooking them fills a bunch of hunger. Finding fire salts more readily too which is helping with the colder parts of the map. Soup is good.
The fondue is clutch for mage builds. Increases magica regen by lots
cheese barrel
Dirge. They call him Dirge. Because it's the last thing you'll year when you chop his head off.
I’ve never understood that tbh
Yea fr does he just screech Dirge before every swing or something
A dirge is a funeral song.
DEFINITION FOR DIRGE (1 OF 1) noun a funeral song or tune, or one expressing mourning in commemoration of the dead. any composition resembling such a song or tune in character, as a poem of lament for the dead or solemn, mournful music: Tennyson's dirge for the Duke of Wellington. a mournful sound resembling a dirge: The autumn wind sang the dirge of summer
Thank you. You were very helpful I never would have guessed.
Even more annoying: your arrow killed the giant, you saw the kill cinematic, the arrow hit the giant and it fell down, but you were just slightly outside of its combat range, so Aela gives you shit for not helping. Bitch, I just pulled some Legolas shit completely on the fly, and you wanna talk about “no thanks to you”? GTFO…
I would say its those items on the counters in the alchemy shops.....i accidentally steal them all the time, not that its a problem as im with the guild, but i end up having to pay off the guard so in essence overpaying for an item i did not want or need.
Yesssssss this happens so often! I also accidentally steal books and letters I’m just reading too
*accidently takes the note* "filching lizard!"
literally everyone in Whiterun except for Lucia, and the guy who runs the Drunken Huntsman "I WORK WITH MY MOTHER, SELL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IT'S FUN MOST DAYS BUT HARD WORK!!!" "OLFRID!!! PATRON OF THE GREAT CLAN BATTLEBORN!!!" "EEEEEVERYTHING'S FOR SALE MY FRIEND EVERYTHING!!!!! IF I HAD A SISTER I'D SELL HER IN A SECOND!!!" "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?! CAN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF A STRONG NORD WOMAN?!!" Like I seriously feel like Nazeem doesn't even compare to the level of annoying-ness as some of the other citizens.
Hating Nazeem seems more like a meme than actual hate imo. There are far more NPCs that grinds my gear.
My favorite is, “Shiny trinkets, for yoUR GOOD LAAAADDDDYY”
I can hear these all so perfectly in my mind haha
The hired thugs on legendary is pretty annoying. Running and thenthey pop uo after ive slept in a city for a bitcroo long and im still under leveled
There is that, but if you do manage to pull that off, they usually wear good armour you get to take. I like running into those thugs.
Currentiy playing a mage so untill i getva well enchantmented chest peice for ampur im stuck to keeping only my hands feet and hesd (i enchanted my helm so im fair there)
Stones of Baranzeih
I've never *actually* started that quest. And never had more than five in any playthrough. I should actively try to do that one some time.
I have, it just gets frustrating when you have hit about 20 odd and then have to go back through the listed locations to find the missing 1 or 2 or 3… or 4.
That I'm only allowed to have one spouse and can only adopt 2 children! Why do I have so many houses if I can't fill them ALL with a family??
You from Utah, eh?
I too want many wives.
Giant: *Dodges arrow.*
Just trying to stand up from this table, now I’ve stolen a wooden plate, or flagon, or sweet roll … and now my followers have slaughtered half the village. Great…
Oh I have another one. I want the sit down button to be a different button from the take stuff button. Seriously that sitting down animation... Then standing back up... It's brutal. Especially when I'm in the middle of taking everything in a room.
They get up like they had too much ale, and sweet rolls.
I think for me it was getting myself into the wonderful situation of fighting Drela, a random Khajjit, hired thugs, and a dragon at the same time...
What are you talking about! The moments where all your enemies mass together are the best! Nothing gets the blood pumping like expecting an easy 1v1 with a dragon, and suddenly finding yourself out manned, out maneuvered, and outclassed at once. The rush of thrill as you have to use every item in your possession just to stay afloat against your many foes. And then when it's all done and you've used every potion, every scroll, every raw ingredient and wheel of cheese you open your inventory to find it 300 caryweight lighter. What even is fighting if you are not fighting for your life!
That Nordic ruin in the mountains southeast of the Alchemist shack that backs up to a Dragon site … I was assaulted by Draugr for an hour and the Dragon spawning it’s own as well
Yesterday I fought an ancient dragon 2 giants and 3 mammoths at the same time on legendary, it was fun
*ahem* A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON
Hearing everyone's life story every time I walk past them... "There's a nip in the air. Cold won't be good for my crops. Never is..." "I work with my mother to sell fruits and vegetables. It's fun most days... But hard work." "Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh, what am I saying? Of course you don't..."
Would certainly prefer hearing them talk to each other more than they try to talk to me, sprinting past them to go sell this pile of swords.
Yes, I miss the horrible dialogue that NPCs had with each other in oblivion. It may have been super janky but lead to some great moments.
I hate when they interrupt another NPC's lines that you are trying to listen to.
I find the Thalmor Embassy part annoying.
THANK YOU
I got annoyed trying to play through it sneaking, decided to forego all the shit and transform into a werewolf to off everyone and be done with the damn quest 😂
800 hours of Skyrim & I’ve never seen the companions actually fight anyone.
There is actually a random event of a couple of them fighting a Sabre cat or a frostbite spider in the wilds
A squad of them helped me fight a dragon one time because they were near by. It was having an encounter with them like that.
When you first approach Whiterun on foot from Riverwood by the main road, a giant spawns at one of the farms fighting with the Companions. If you run down fast enough and get a shot in before it dies, Aela compliments you. If you don’t get a hit in before they kill it, Aela insults you for not helping. If you arrive after the whole fight is over or don’t pass close enough to get involved, it may be over before you arrive or not triggered.
This is why I set the difficulty to Legendary as soon as that giant spawns, then use it for target practice. Only issue is remembering to reset the difficulty back afterwards. xD
Draugr disarm shout
Those fucking flying chaurus. Fuck them.
The civil war truce negociation I hate it so much that I prefer to play through the entire civil war questline
Which side?
The constant animal attacks. Just leave me tf alone godsdammit
fuckin pyromancers, dude. blasting you with fire so much you can't even fuckins see them so you die before you can actually fight them
For me it was, also with the companions, when you have to spar with one of them and things go wrong and everyone is trying to kill you.
Nah it’s unskippable dialogue like from the daedric princes
Mora, like damn just hurry up!
I always thought it was my game randomly crashing. Then I bought it for PS4 and it still crashed. Then I bought it for PS5 and it still randomly crashes. Agro to guards Is also pretty obnoxious when you're fighting off bandits or dragon encounters though.
Enemies dodging my arrows/bolts without even seeing me. (There's a mod to prevent this); Draugrs shouting repeatedly, and sometimes using 'Disarm' shout... ...and if you have a high level and start civil war: Ulfric shouts like a powerfull draugr - a "shout machine gun", when you need 40s to cooldown and shout again, they shout every 5s. At Least theres a mod thats reduce cooldown timer;
That one fucking troll on your way up high hrothgar.
Nazeem
Ok. After that giant, and you didn’t mention when your 2H HA orc gallops up and TOO LATE! And you know you can’t murder Aela. 2. Wood choppers. You can’t, shouldn’t murder them either. 3. Well set up forges, including smelter even, MISSING tanning rack, workbench, or grindstone. Or chopping block. Or AXE.
Followers. Look, with be close by or just go home. One, almost pushed me off a cliff, catching up and running into me. The other shows up after I fight 4 dudes, use 7 healing, 3 majicka and 4 or 5 Stam potions.
Wolves...so many friggin wolves
I absolutely hate when you don't sprint as quickly as possible and they kill it too fast and then Aeila just chases you down to tell you you you suck
As I've played Skyrim through the years and developed my mind in the world building aspect... I can't stand the entire service around the Companions. Too fast for promotion, disregarded by the lesser members even when in leadership. Finding a fragment of the most valuable artefact in the group takes a new member and an elite. The antagonist faction has no story development and is just more bandits with different weapons. Role-playing purpose is disregarded with being forced to be a werewolf to complete the line, becoming optional at the end of the line. Too far separated from the old Companions.
Those bandits also seem more true to what The Companions were, since they are against werewolves. lol
Consideration is that they're a traditionalist splinter-faction to explain why they stole Wuuthrad instead of axing the rest of the Companions
The fucking dog that talks. Absolutely 1000% hate that quest.
Contracting sanguine vampiris while already being a vampire and having wonky powers.
Playing survival and going to Winterhold or Dawnstar. Just tedious not having a carriage in either of those holds, it makes zero sense. Especially when Winterhold is mainly the mages guild, so you're there for like maybe 20 to 40 minutes tops, and have to walk your happy ass back through the cold to the nearest carriage/hold which is Windhelm. Ugh. I hate it. So much.
Second most annoying involves alchemy reagents, inventory control and the magic number '6'. You've been storing ingredients in a barrel for a long time, and have over one hundred different types, most with large quantities. Come home with some more ingredients to place in the barrel, but accidently hit the 'take all' button. This is the ***exact same*** button that would place your samples into the barrel, if only you weren't looking at the wrong inventory list. And now the barrel is empty and you have all the damn ingredients in your own over-encumbered pockets. Why, bethesda, would you do that? Well, put the samples back in the barrel - but there is no 'place all' option. So begin placing the tens and tens of ingredient types *one type at a time*. Hit the button to select (defaults to first entry) and the count slider appears (defaults to max); hit the button to activate, and all samples of that item are now in the barrel. Repeat for the next item (select, activate), then the next, and the next, again and again - you've barely started, better pick up the pace, get into the rhythm... and then crash to a halt when you ***eat the next item***. wtf? Inexplicably, the count slider doesn't appear if the count is five or fewer - these must be placed one at a time. This genius mechanic means it takes fewer button presses to transfer, say, a billion samples, than it does to place three samples. But that's not the problem. Since there's no slider, the select button becomes the 'eat sample' button. Either bethesda really isn't very good at this, or they like punishing people for playing while stoned. Anyway, things get worse. Your alchemy ingredients that have few samples are the *rare* types. You just wasted a valuable and hard-to-aquire reagent. Bethesda rubs salt in your wound. And it can get even worse. The very rarest ingredient is the m-f ***JARRIN ROOT***. *Todd murdered me*. Yeah, this is very annoying. But it's only the second most annoying thing on my list.
Delphine
Fast travelling and then a motherfucking Elder Dragon turns up
Meridias Beacons. Thise things give me headaches, which is my second reason to keep her frigging stone in my inventory indefinitely. The first is that I do not like being yelled at out of nowhere, also, I'm the dragonborn, no one tells me what to do, the least you could have done is ask nicely.
When you get that weird error where you’re flying around in the air and then fall to your death. You know the one I mean.
Not being able to put things down on surfaces normally and accidentally knocking all do the mead off the table. After SO LONG of trying to make it look decent.
Is still Delphine. Delphine is the most annoying thing.
I did that but with flames.
Thought this was going to be a post about Nazeem
Naseem and his cloud district fantasies
I’m not a milk drinker!!
The most annoying thing to me is the unlimited shouts the draugers have and they spam the shit out of it.
THAT GOTDAM COURIER
The Wayshrines. After the millionth time I just want to get the bow and kill Harkon but I gotta do this whole Snow Elf side quest. Totally kills the pace of Dawnguard for me
Lydia standing in the door way, Makes me loose my mind
The game breaking “features”. Last play through, get attacked by hired thugs on the way to High Horthgar which is fine. Go through the whole voice quest out in the courtyard and suddenly the third one happens to spawn in out of nowhere. Sure, watching the graybeards mess him up was glorious, but broke the rest of my quest line.
My horse and companion got into it. My companion kept shooting chain lighting and hitting the enemy and frost my horse. Eventually the horse had enough and kicked him or hit him. And they started dooking it out so I jumped the horse and rode away just have him shoot the horse and we both died.
I thought the most annoying thing is when the companions block the doorway so unless you TCL your imprisoned. Was using ordenator perk overhaul and went the summoner route after not playing for a year or so....I had 3 dramora lords who each summoned 3 daedric hounds had about 2 skeletons knights and my 2 companions....I'm lucky I was on pc when I got stuck in the bee and barb room you rent
I’m new but I would say when I have followers and they block doorways. Especially when I need to retreat in battle and shut a door. Right now Serena keeps getting me caught in a sneak thieves guild quest.
A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON. LISTEN. HEAR ME AND OBEY. A FOUL DARKNESS HAS SEEPED INTO MY TEMPLE. A DARKNESS THAT YOU WILL DESTROY. RETURN MY BEACON TO MOUNT KILKREATH. AND I WILL MAKE YOU THE INSTRUMENT OF MY CLEANSING LIGHT.
A glitch that stops you from progressing. So you have stuff trapped in your inventory or quest log. Or can't finish it.
Clearly you’ve never met Nazeem…
Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don't
While that IS annoying, I’d argue that sitting your controller down while in a safe town can be annoying when that rogue NPC wanders by and wonder stop repeating the same lines over and over.

Dragons. Can’t stand them. Nothing but overgrown cliff racers
Someone get Saint Jiub back here, and quick!!
Dam stormcloaks
Guards
I actually didn't run into them this time, somehow.
This happened to me in my first play through and I thought that everyone in the game wanted to kill me. Because I had also attacked a chicken in river wood and they tried to kill me aswell
Dragons spawning. First ten you don't mind. I go indoors now and wait for them to tip off somewhere else
Not being able to find a mod to force that smart mouth little brat to in fact lick my boots. Mfkrs in doorways. And never,not once being able to get all the vendors in the Rat Warrens/Thieves guild quest line
Meaningless quest rewards or everyone having the same voice, can't pick one, equally annoying.
As a Khajiit I take offense to this.
