User blog comment:The Milkman/To Build a Guild/@comment-5280592-20120904033214

Personally I found it to be a bit of clever and awful storytelling to throw in half of the guilds as mandatory, with three quarters being almost unavoidable without glitches/knowing where to go/really dumb luck/spoilers.

I always thought being arch-mage of the college came with body-stealing abilities from talking to the last guy.( He also may have just been being a douche about being an elf. ) Thus solving that problem about whoring out your soul to everyone for a new hat.

It actually made me feel bad to have to look up who you were talking about sometimes. I completely forgot who Kodlak and Ralof were.

On a side note:

Lydia has depth!

"If Lydia joins The Blades, Hrongar will possibly send Hired Thugs after you. This may hardly ever occur."

Must type more in the morning....
