Skyrim! Because all the really good stuff never actually leaves.
- Thread starter wonko the sane?
- Start date
I finished the Thieves Guild last night in Oblivion. That's all the guilds done.
All I need to do now for Platinum Trophy is complete the main quest. I actually never did get around to the main quest in my PS3 playthrough. I may have to try that this time, particularly since there are trophies attached to it.
But first I think I'll want to do the rest of the daedric quests...maybe do some general leveling.
The main thing that makes me nervous about the main quest though is that I know near the end there's a timed bit. Timed sections always make me anxious. Particularly in an open world, I guess I'm just worried wasting precious time getting lost as hell not knowing where to go or what to do.
So for those who've finished the game before, I guess I have a few questions.
1. Is the time limit generous?
2. Can I save right before the timed section so I don't lose a lot of progress if I fail?
3. Is the point of no return clearly marked?

Put the finishing touches on Two Moons Adeptorium... got lucky and pretty much everything left that I needed(mostly statues) came back to the Crown Store today. Lots of images, so putting behind a spoiler.
There's more I could show, like the upstairs and downstairs hallways, the wayshrine itself, the wine-rack and small library area opposite the museum display, but that's probably enough images as-is. There's also a small shrine to Khenarthi around the corner from the sacristy, a little relaxation nook on the other side of the sacristy overlooking a waterfall, and opposite that contemplation area is a shaded path with its own little hidden bench to hide from the sun. There's also working metal gates for the fountain area, the wayshrine area, and a stone gate with a mural on it for the testing area. The private quarters also has a private bathing area, with a nightstand and some fur shampoos. And a host of other minor details I've added
The entryway into the courtyard:
The fountain area, for relaxation by the water
The view from the wayshrine(not pictured) by the dragon horn placed for warning
The testing grounds for new students. Left is the armory, right is where the masters observe the fight from.
The shrine to Azurah, who guides the reborn Order of the Hidden Moon.
The local merchant, whose tent is conveniently located just outside the shrine.
A little further down is the supplies for the adeptorium, watched over by an alfiq banker.
The entryway to the sacristy
A resting place to contemplate, before partaking of moon-sugar water.
The inner sacristy alcove, with its urns of holy moon-sugar water
The living quarters of the adeptorium
The commons area, displaying a portion of the collection of antiquities that Zhakarii has managed to acquire in her adventuring
The kitchen and eating area
The upstairs sleeping area (and living quarters) for students
And the private quarters for Zhakarii and Zerith-Var

Just keep in mind: If you're playing games you already own, you aren't paying for new ones. You win.
Yeah, it was absurdly easy, especially with 100% Chameleon. I just finished the main quest. something I never did on the PS3. And now that's given me another Platinum. Sweet!
It's so cool to have finally finished it. Not sure if I care enough to do Shivering Isles or Knights of Nine...but it's still pretty awesome to have actually finished the main quest.
On the one hand, Shivering Isles is great fun and one of the best DLCs Bethesda has done.
On the other hand, there's currently a bug that causes the game to consistently crash to desktop on PS5 during the final quest, so possibly waiting for a patch for that would make things easier.
(It is possible to avoid the crash using the wait function, but just fix the game, people)

Uh...you do realize this is Bethesda we're talking about.
Molag Bals mace?
Well, there's also Hircine's ring. And now that I think about it, Ebony Mail really helps to supplement my stealth archer skills. And really, what's the point of Molag Bal's Mace without Azura's Star.
Yeah, I didn't think that post through very well.
But I was originally meaning Mehrunes Razor. The possibility (however small) of doing an insta-kill, particularly on dragons, was just too valuable...until I started smithing my own enchanted dragon bone swords...which pretty much caused me to put the razor into storage.
Wow! That post really was not thought out very well.

Yeah, some time between oblivion and skyrim; magic "changed". I think it's one of the enchanting books in skyrim that mention it, not sure which one though. The dual enchantment fable, I think...
That's why you have to go to school for magic in skyrim lol... they 'new mathed' magic lol
