Illogical quest rewards

[JanusForbeare]

Sometimes this game really makes me chuckle...

 

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD

 

Was anyone else a little confused by the Blessing of Dibella? I break into their "ladies-only" inner sanctuary on a panty raid and get caught. They threaten to kill me, but instead decide that I am the perfect person to kidnap a helpless little girl from her family because she's the next Buddha. So I go get the girl and bring her back, and in return the Goddess magically improves my ability to beat women. One of these days, Alice...

 

Another example is the concept of thaneship.

 

JARL WHOSIT: "Thank you for helping my people by bringing ale to the town drunk. I now pronounce you thane of Coldplace."

 

PLAYER: "Actually, I think my duties as thane of the other eight towns will keep me kind of busy..."

 

JARL WHOSIT: "What if I throw in a flaming sword and the right to rape and pillage my people?"

 

There's a logic there. Of a sort.

Bah, poking holes in Skyrim's plot lines is easier than getting shot with an arrow in the knee.

I was kind of bummed out by the meager rewards you get for traveling to the far ends of Skyrim to get a rare book for the librarian at the Mages College. I don't fast travel, and after spending like an hour or two on a huge quest for a book, he gives me like 100 gold.

 

I thought it was really funny in Morthal when the guy by the bridge wanted to have a fist fight with me and bet on the result. I beat him up and won the money. So after I beat him up and take away his money, he likes me so much that he is willing to be my follower. Later on when I saw him, he made a comment about how much the favor I did for him meant to him and how true friendship like that is a rare thing.
