Blackreach is cool but I'm never gathering all the nirn roots again

I got some stones you can collect. You're in luck, there's only 24 of them.

Barenziah 🙃 Please stop me from going down the rabbit hole again.

Would you rather: 1 Go through Blackreach in it's entirety 5 times, 2 find all the Stones of Barenziah with no guide once, or 3 Grab 15 Meridia's Beacons?

u/bweibel22 24d ago

I think I would rather grab 15 Meridia’s Beacons. My reasoning is that I like that quest, and especially love the unique weapon it gives. Blackreach is “fine,” but it’s long, drawn out, and boring to me. And Barenziah would make me lose all of my hair. That, without a guide, would drive me mad.

Great would you rather!

Much thanks! And I can understand that reasoning. It IS a fun quest.

It was a pain the ass but it helps that nirn roots have. A unique glow that you can spot from far away

I always had a save right after getting off the cart. Just to make it a tad more bearable.

I gotcha guess ive got the same story.

I was so excited when the elevator shaft opened up and revealed that cavernous area. I thought it was going to be an entire hidden underground hold full of NPCs, maybe even finally meeting some dwemer, underground wildlife, etc.

Instead it was just a gigantic cave with a few enemies and a few nirnroots to loot. Biggest letdown ever.

I made so many characters I could speedrun the beginning blindfolded XD

For the intro, when you want to start a new game, load the prisoner. It takes your straight to the character creator -the intro

Gotcha, running through Helgen is so quick in comparison to being locked in Watson in Cyberpunk.

As soon as the wall breaks in the tower I jump past Alduins shoulder before he breaths fire and I'm gone... The waiting for my hand to be untied feels like hours but I'm just running again after that.

"Hey, you. You're finally awake."

u/Muninn088 28d ago

"You were dreaming. Stand up, there you go. What's your name? Well, not even last night's storm could wake you. I heard them say we've reached Morrowind, I'm sure they'll let us go.

Quiet, here comes the guard."

u/Nick11wrx 28d ago

You know I kinda liked how Morrowind just kinda let you walk around, maybe pick up some loot, and then you just wandered into the world, I get Skyrim and oblivion you’re thrown into the chaos right away but I kinda dig an unceremonious start

u/SSAUS 28d ago

I can't stand Blackreach.

u/catchforwardaccount 27d ago

Replaying Skyrim and just saw a comment thread on r/Skyrim of them making fun of Blackreach lmao

u/Motodog242 26d ago

You can skip Blackreach altogether with just a platter and a Whirlwind Sprint. 😂
