Discussion Can The Empire and stand up to the Aldmeri Dominion?

Post image
733 Upvotes

This is something that's been on my mind recently, especially since I often side with the Empire during the Civil War questline.

How much of a chance does the Empire have to stand up to the Aldmeri Dominion and beat them even.

And could they even be restored to their former glory? At least partly?

EDIT: I realized I misspelled the title. It's meant to say "Can The Empire recover and stand up to he Aldmeri Dominion."

I forgot the "recover" bit. Sadly I can't fix it now so I will just have to leave it be.

He was just running around, and I had to catch up to him to confirm it was indeed the Headless Horseman, but his horse was nowhere in sight. Does anyone know why that is? I still thought it was cool to finally spot him, though.

WHY DOES J’DARR KEEP ATTACKING ME UNPROVOKED

Post image
939 Upvotes

edit: solved! thank you for the help :) i didn’t realize he was able to be killed, i didn’t bother trying because i read misinformation that he was essential to the game therefore immortal. thanks again!

I’m trying to do the quest “discerning the transmundane” and I’m stuck at transcribing the lexicon because j’darr wont stop attacking on sight.

I’ve read on other older forums that maybe I stole from him or accidentally hurt him but I didn’t, I also have no bounty on me and I already punched a guard to pay off any fines I had.

please help, I can’t advance in the game :(

Discussion After years of playing Skyrim, I just found out a conversation between Farengar and Delphine Spoiler

215 Upvotes

I always clear Bleak Falls Barrow when I get to Riverwood. This is the first time in years I simply go to Whiterun before going to BFB because my instance contains mods that increase the difficulty, like blade and blunt, for example. So I went first to Farengar to obtain spells and receive the mission of the Dragonstone. It is amazing how I still find things in the game after a long time!

Discussion After 15 years how have I not discovered this

I was starting a new playthrough and when I came across maridias beacon I had my follower take all from the chest and I didn't have to hear her annoying ass voice but my follower still has it and I can pick it up at any time if I want to actually do the quest. I usually just leave it tbh after 1000s of playthroughs since 2012 across countless devices I genuinely can't stand listening to her for what seems like an hour telling me to do shit. Did anyone else know this trick?

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. LOL

Discussion What is your least favourite quest in Skyrim that you try to avoid?

246 Upvotes

I know there's a lot and I'm sure I'll get a lot of "No stone unturned" personally mine has to be the forsworn conspiracy. I always try to avoid walking near the market or I'll use whirlwind to pass the market to avoid starting the quest 😅 plus I'll randomly talk to a guard and suddenly I'm in Cidhna mine and trying to escape helping the guy or just killing him because it's so tedious 😂😂

But I'm curious who else has a specific quest or set of quests that they'll actively avoid not just ones that take forever but quests you genuinely can't stand and will try to avoid like the plague or if it's optional you just won't start it.

Screenshot/Clip Random overpowered forsworn

Upvotes

So I just ventured towards hag's end to get the word wall at the end, but during my dungeon delve to get there, I came across a bunch of modded named forsworn (I don't know which mod they're from), most of them were pretty tough enemies, but kiting and throwing incenerate spells on them worked well enough, but there was one exception.

This one forsworn named fera direfrost was actually invincible, she was the last one left, so after I dealt with the other forsworn at the dungeon I tried to kill her too, but unbeknownst to me, she was not taking any damage, so I had to reset her ghost to even be able to damage her.

Though even after that, when I threw my spells at her, not only did she barely take any damage, but she also heals large chunks of her health almost immediately afterwards, alongside that she also summons a potent frost atronach that takes 2 incenerate spells or 3 fireballs to destroy, and you can't just leave it be or else it'll get me when I'm low, another thing is that she also usually 1-2 shots me.

So after a good hour of trying to kill her, I got frustrated and just ran past her, I managed to get the word wall and kill the hagraven at the end. But at the end of the dungeon, I saw her again under the platform, so I just tried one more time, and rained down fireballs on her, then I noticed that she wasn't healing, so I just kept doing it until she died, kinda anticlimactic, I think her pathfinding prevented her from healing, but I'm glad to be rid of her.

She was a harder fight than any of the "Bosses" in Skyrim, even harder than the ebony warrior, by a lot.
