rebelscum Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 -Children! I wish I had a menu option to mute child speech. The little dudes at the orphanage were pretty cool after I punched the evil caretaker to death though. HaHa, I used my completely overpowered backstab to do her in the old cow. I now have 60x damage with backstab from perks/armor. With a power attack it slams anyone I hit 'under the bed', which is a pain as with some stone plinth beds you cant loot them. I just a quest with a dog, first I had to follow it, and ran back and forth for at least 30 mins, the dog was trying to get to attack some bandits in a fort and kept running into the fort and back out again. Finally I gave up sneaking, ran into the fort and massacred all of them so the dog would move on. Then the quest switched round so the dog followed me, and the dog just lured everything, which is not very handy for sneak, Who stole my kill: Sent to kill a dragon, hid for a bit and it decided it was going to fight a tag team of a giant and mammoth. A couple of good ow shots it was dead with those two hammering on it. I don't think sneak has been playtested very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaikenEdge Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Too many essential characters. I walked into a town and started to open fire with my bow because, well, I had read that just randomly killing people could get the player a Dark Brotherhood invite, and I had already completed the quest to get the Dark Brotherhood invite and had waited a few days, but to no avail. So, I'm sneaking and shooting my arrows, doing 3x Sneak Attack damage to my victims, and it seemed like 50% of named characters were essential. That's just bloody annoying, particularly in a game where I'm supposed to be able to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalmasterpiece Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 OP, have you played a Betheda game before? They all have problems like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekronataRaeven Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Annoying things to me: - "I am sworn to carry your burdens" - Seriously only one Line ???? (non is also boring)- Every 2nd time you go through a Door and you have a Companion: "Aua" -.-- Shop Owners who always say the same every freaking time, to make it worse, most similar shops have the same parse in a different voice -.-- Broken Vampire (and I even liked the Vampires in Oblivion)- Blocky Textures (kinda PC only, since Consoles :P don't have much Ram lol)- Containers not having Categorys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abaris Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Get out of the damn way: NPC who block doorways and won't move. They turn to look at you as if it's your fault they are lame. that's a Bethesda special. In Morrowind I once slew a servant because I couldn't leave my darn house.

rebelscum Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'm so near to getting rid of all followers as they are total pains in the arse. On my Oblivion PC version followers were well modded with combat options. On the PS3 followers rush in and get in the way when you are trying to shoot. I think so far followers and NPC's are at the top of the annoyance list. Next is broken quests. I've had two so far that I've had to reload.One being the murder investigation (no spoilers) where when I had to retrieve a key from an NPC to gain entry to a house the arrow points to an empty bed. So the NPC who is supposed to be there has disappeared. The next being High Hrothgar when one of the old farts fails to teach me a shout. I'm going to sort out new PC next year and try the PC version fully modded and patched. I'm relying on the community to sort this game out!

BGatot Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Another annoyance is inane and inappropriate guard comments. "Is that fur coming out of your ears?" I think this is intended as a slight to Nords, but doesn't make sense when uttered by a Stormcloak guard, which presumably would be a Nord, and they revere the Nord as well! Maybe if it was an imperial guard... "A bowman, eh? I preferred swords myself" But I do prefer swords! My two handed skill is over twice that of my bow skill! "Keep your hand to yourself, sneak thief!" But my character is not a thief, and had never stolen anything. Pretty poor sneaking skill too. Praising me for using light armor, while my character was all decked out in plate armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are mostly pointless (Dragon fodder) and just there to inhibit lockpicking progress. I rarely steal anything, my characters are a Norse Barbarian warrior (Conan) and a Briton Assassin. If think guards should take bribes to look in the other direction, another good use for speechcraft.When my assassin has completed the main quest i'm going to go on a guard backstabbing spree and make a large pile of guards outside the palace gates in Whiterun. Then I'll get a can of petrol ... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrowind was terrible for that, I used the RA console command to get them out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
