I’ll start - even though I have owned the game since launch, I have never been to Blackreach. Don’t even know how to get there.

    Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game. During my first play through I climbed High Hrothgar the hard way. Once I reached the top, found out there’s actually a nice road on the other side of the mountain lol.

      This is me too! First scrolls game and went up the mountain the “look upwards and spam jump button” way. In fact that represented a majority of my time in game my first playthrough

    Regarding Blackreach (this includes spoilers):

    spoiler

    I think that is the dwarf “subterranean” terrarium. I think there is a Elder Scroll quest where the crazy guy north of the college of winterhold (lives in an iceberg) asks you to go. I don’t think there are any other uses except maybe to try to get the “2 potions for 1 set of ingredients” perk.

    I have never figured out what to do with Dravins Bow underneath the thieves guild.

      Dravin lives in Merryweather Farm just north of Riften, he’ll gift you gems and the like for returning his bow.

    I’ve never finished the main questline. I always play for many hours doing other stuff, then get bored with my character build and start over with something else.

    I can’t stay engaged with long quests.

    I have always had so many mods that I don’t really know what is original and not anymore(to some extent). It was too many years ago I played without.

    I have never finished the main quest or any of the bigger side quest like siding with imperials or storm cloaks. I finished dark brooder hood multiple times and companions once and almost did the thieves guild (I was so close, then I got bored). I actually finished one dlc (dragonborn) but that is all. Most of my gameplay is exploring caves and dwemer civilizations and random small quests that was in my direction like killing bandits or giving ingredients/items.

      This is my goal with all modding, honestly. As much as anything else I’m attracted to the idea of making a game my own unique, customized experience. My holy grail is getting to a point where everything is so thoroughly integrated that it’s impossible to tell at a glance what’s vanilla and what’s modded, and to just sort of lose myself in that sensation.

      Oh, man, “dark brooder” is perfect. 🤣 I only finished that questline out of disgusted hate from that damn jester. I needed to end him for good. 💀

        Wow that autocorrect 😂 it does fit tho haha. Oh yea he was very annoying I always ended them. The horse was cool tho and the clothes was perfect because I like sneaking around, that is why I kept coming back on all of my runs. Did you join any “factions”?
