User blog:Madman97/You know what really grinds my Wabbajack's? S2E7: No Interesting Quests.

Pick up this, go attack that, follow the magical arrow, go kill the bandits, go do this, go do that, GO F*** YOURSELF SKYRIM!!! HOW ABOUT THAT?!

Sigh. Where are my legendary manners? Madman97 here, come to give you another rendition of Wabbajack Grinding. Quests. Without them, no adventure. Skyrim is built on the process of Quests. Epic adventures for you to gain untold glory!...Wait, I remembered my blog on the Recognition you deserve as a player...Yep, no glory to be found in Skyrim...

Anyway, what would be an adventure game without adventure? I've explained this a million times, but right when we popped that Skyrim disc in and entered fully fleshed out Skyrim for the frst time, everyone's jaws hit the floor and we started S***ing ourselves from excitment from all we were gonna do, all the adventures we would embark on...Well, only some of us crapped our pants, but that's besides the point. It was a wild day for us all.

Anyway, just like the loot from our last episode started to get a bit too familiar for our liking, it became so with the quests. Soon, we started to see a lot of the "Follow the magical F***ing arrow on your radar and go do some menial task for the towns people," type quests. It's BS. It's the SAME FREAKING THIS EVERY TIME!!! THERE IS NO DIVERSITY!

Granted, this is one thing that didn't really catch people's eye until at least a year into Skyrim, when people have really gotten into the game. Just like the loot. It's the same generic thing every time now. I am bot fortunate and unfortunate to have done literally like every quest I can in Skyrim, good because I don't have to deal with those same quests, bad because I am now even bored with Skyrim than before. And before another random @$$hole suggests that I should use the mods on Skyrim PC, I DON'T F***ING HAVE A COMPUTER CAPABLE OF RUNNING SKYRIM!!! Sorry, but at least two people have said that and it makes me mad. I would mod those stupid quests though. It's the same quest everytime. Only when something significant happens or something that looks awesome does it actually be interesting.

Oh yeah, I am so dragging Oblivion into this. Yep, one of my favorite games of all time that I am still playing over Skyrim is not free of this curse. It still has the same repetative quests happening and the same vague directions of go do this, do that too, loot that, steal this, ect.

So what is it I want? I can't believe I have to say it again. It's Skyrim's biggest flaw, and it will alway's be Skyrim's biggest flaw.

Difference.

I'm all for things being the same. In fact, in our arrogance, we sometimes suppose that change is automatically better when compared to older traditions. Like old and young people. Young folks today are going on about how old people simply don't understand their generation, and that a new Iphone19 is better than the iphone18 simply because it's new, tells the old folks that because they are old, they outloved their usefullness. NOT SO!

But in a video game that toys around with you the entire game by giving you the same stuff over and over again, a change would be welcomed. In fact, could be better. Skyrim is just riddled with so much sameness you would think Anu threw up all over the place, (Lore enthusiast humor lol). Skyrim has the same quests over and over, the same loot, the same cities just in different designs, the same cokkie cutter douchebag Jarls, the same annoying children and guards, same, Same, SAME!!! And I am sick of it.

Add something else to the quests will you? Screw your no new DLC decision Bethesda, I demand a refund!

Sigh. There is nothing wrong with being familiar with something. But when it starts to force itself down your throat with the same thing every time, I have to put my well developed sexy foot down. It get's boring. I'm not asking for a complete sweep of the quest structure, though it would be nice, but a little unpredictability thrown in to spice up the game. That's what makes a good adventure.

Geez, were running up into the final three epsiodes of Season 2 here, arn't we? Time flies I see. So, I guess it;s only fair that I should bust out the old guessing contest again. For those of you who have been with me for a while, you know about this if you read the later blogs of Season 1. If you can guess correctly the topic of the season finale, you will win a prize. I will message you if you have it right. That seems to be about it, special thanks to Man of Steak for suggesting this idea to me, it's alway's appreciated, and more ideas from anyone is welcome, and I guess that's it. Stay Mad people, and see you in episode 8.
