Scribblesix Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Glad to see you mentioned this often-overlooked fact. A lot of people bemoan being forced to join the thieves' guild, but that only happens if you ignore the dialogue and blindly follow your quest journal. Delphine actually tells you that Esbern is somewhere in the Ratway, so you don't need to speak to anyone in Riften to advance that quest - just head straight down to the tunnels and through the Ragged Flagon. In fairness skyrim is so linear that one is sometimes afraid to avoid the map arrows, one is always nervous that unless one does as is told the quest will be unfinishable (a locked door or similiar) personally I just drank a potion of glibness to get the speech required for the persuade check.
