User blog:Dunmeister/Skyrim Thieves Guild Questline Was Too Off-Topic.

Alright, so first of all let me make this clear. I loved the thieves guild of Morrowind & Oblivion. The quests were appropriate and there was plenty of stealing involved, however Skyrim's felt a bit too off-topic for me. There was no big heist or massive ending in which you steal the elder scroll or something, but instead the whole questline is about finding out who's trying to shut down the thieves guild and then there's a big chase at the end where you kill Mercer. Okay, so he was stealing the eyes of the Falmer but i think that should've been the player! A mass heist where you steal the eyes of the Falmer before your caught by guards or a rival guild? I think the addition of Nightingales was good (Well, only because of the armor...) But it should've been a whole different questline. For the next game (Not the MMO) i really think Bethesda needs to add in some actual STEALING to the questline.

Before i'm bombarded with 'But you can do extra jobs!' I know you can, but it isnt much to steal really, 'Take a few items from this home' or 'Change the ledger in this business' comapared to Oblivions 'Ultimate Heist' where you stole an elder scroll! The whole series' title! I personally think it was a let down but i'm open to your views.
