After almost two months of side questing, collecting Daedric artifacts and all-around lollygagging, I finally sat down last week and completed Skyrim‘s main quest.
To note, I have the PS3 version — yes, the problematic one. I completed the game in spite of various bugged quests, lag and load times. I think I have 80 hours in? (I don’t play every day.) All of this before the “end-of-month-fix-everything” patch arrived.
Above: I took a picture of my quest statistics. Main quests: 18? The main story of the game feels short if you’ve been doing all the fun side quests. To note: roleplay-wise, my character, Kador, isn’t probably the “realest” RPG character. He’s the Dean at the college of magic, Harbinger for the warriors’ guild, master-thief of the thieves guild and head of the assassin’s guild. A big burly viking who can sneak like a ninja in front of most enemies but can’t hurt flying dragons for shit.
The game doesn’t “end.” The main quest is simply resolved. That story is finished now. I can still continue my journey on Skyrim, maybe collect the other 7 Daedric artifacts I’m missing, join the rebellion/empire or collect stupid crimson nirnroot. Or maybe start over with a new character and do it all over again.
Thank you, Bethesda.
