User blog:Madman97/You know what really grinds my Wabbajack's? Falkreath.

(Sigh) Hello again. Pardon me if I'm not sounding really enthusiastic about this today. It's just, you know, I really don't like this place. But anyway, if you have read any of the other blogs in my series, you know the drill. Let's jump in.

Okay, so I'm wandering about Skyrim, looking for ways to kill my virtual wife, something I have officially concluded impossible, and I wandered into the forest hold of Falkreath.

...God, this place gets under my skin. I'm not sure what it is with thi place, it just seems so pointless to be there. I mean, when's the last time you heard somebody say that Falkreath was their favorite hold? Let me explain a little bit here. It's like one giant woodmill in Skyrim. You know those things in some towns where you take a log and put it on a conveyor belt and chop it in half and it's completly pointless and nobody ever benifets from it? Falkreath is a giant version of that. Nothing important takes place there, unless you count the Dark Brotherhood but since they are secret I wouldn't, no one important is there, the jarl doesn't count, and just NOBODY CARES ABOUT IT! Seriously, when is the last time you ran around Falkreath if not on a mission or something of that nature? Maybe you bought the Lakeside manor but that's only near Falkreath. It's just...I'm not even sure what to think of it! Even Winterhold holds more importance than this so called "Hold." It's nothing but a few shacks and a hall! Riverwhat'sitcalled is more of a Hold than Falkreath! GOD THIS PLACE DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!

And don't get me started on the lack of things to do there either! Besides being a sucky town, there is nothing to do in this sucky town! There is no property, IN THE TOWN, where you can buy a nice wooded home in the nice wooded landscape, there are no specificlly interesting quests. The only one I can think of, and I may be wrong, but you meet Barbas around Falkreath somewhere right? I like Barbas. I support Barbas. His master is a D***. But Falreath? (Shakes head).

Suprisingly, there isn't much left to say about this place. I mean, I'm sure people like Falkreath. I enjoy the idea of a wodded area as a hold. But this is just done all wrong. This is like what happened when Bethesda started getting tired of all the crap they were putting in game, but they still needed two more cities. So they put this half-@$$ed ghetto town and then they pulled the "Oh-the-cliff-broke-under-the-town-and-now-they-suck-" card with Winterhold so they didn't have to put as much buildings, but then, OOOHHHH THEN, WINTERHOLD STILL MANAGES TO INTEREST ME MORE THAN FALKREATH. (Sigh). It's just...pointless, and we will leave it at that. Thanks for reading, stay tuned for future rants.
