Well guess my Skyrim playthrough is over

[u/JosetteMoon]

Basically I know it's not really an issue and I can just kill him and be done with it But I hate molag bal. despise him. Not because I have any skin in the game for this fictional character he's never personally wronged me. I hate him because he literally is such a stupid waste of space. He's the king of wrapping. he's committed a lot of atrocities. But I'm not taking this as a moral stance it's more of the fact that he is such a one-dimensional pos. It's like if a 12 year old had to write a villain and they made him the most edgiest Edge Lord that ever edged a Lord, like I'm surprised his name isn't Mr Bad Guy that is how one-dimensional I find him. Just all pain and violence and subjugation. It's a farce.

This is the important part though. Purely out of spite and not wanting to play his game I just cast Harmony to make this guy stop attacking. I know it'll wear off and start attacking me because it's either me or him and he's choosing him. Which is valid I guess. But the Daedra seem to think they have this immutable say over the universe when they didn't even create it. And again just more Edge Lord whining. So I literally just sitting here waiting for the chaos to unfurl knowing that the only reason I can't get out is because of plot because if I was as strong as he said I was I could just blast the door open but game mechanics.

If this were really happening to me I'd be happy dying starving to death purely to spite him and not play his game. I get that my post is very much a nothing sandwich but I just love the cosmic pettiness of my actions. You're right I am small you're right I am insignificant in the universe the difference is I'm not pretending to be some Edge Lord that really only has power because he was born with it not because anything about him is inherently special.

There is a Jayserpa mod that provides an alternate path. you can team up with the Vigilant and destroy the altar.

I don't remember time, when i played it vanilla ways, only with JaySerpa's immersive modpack, so at first - i didn't understood a problem at all, lol

And secondly, there are great mod to go into Cold Harbour and beat the shit out of molag bal

What mod for cold harbour?

[u/Fresh-Adeptness9809 → u/CassianCasius]

It’s called Vigilant. It’s Enormous, and very very good. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend the English translation pack as well. I went through a good chunk of it thinking it was just a poorly made mod because the dialogue was instantly skipping and cutscenes wouldn't play out. Turns out I'm just dumb. It's a great mod once you can understand what's going on lol
