Role-Playing a Good Character

Recommended Posts

For myself, I derived a lot of personal satisfaction by completing the quest "Unfriendly Competition."

 

It bugged me that graverobbers were defiling the resting places of people that were once cherished by someone.

 

I really enjoyed ending Agarmir's useless existence. :starwars:

 

Anyone like to share one of their most satisfying quests? If it's a Guild Questline, please try to pick a single quest within it to enable a more thorough discussion.

My most satisfying quest was probably the Whodunit quest for the Dark Brotherhood. I just feel kind of happy each time I kill off one of those people. Maybe it's just me, but I've always loved that quest.

I can actually agree with you on that one. :biggrin: Even though you get Infamy, it was satisfying.

Psh, who cares about infamy? It's more fun murdering innocent people than visiting wayshrines of the Nine. ;)

Strange, this thread lead me to think Oblivion lacks a really bad villain, that kind someone gets the urge of eradicating him from the world's face.

 

Wrong thread I know, but the quest that give me the most frustrating feeling was the vanilla Arena itself, even the Gray Prince one was better. Knew that before I would never defy him for the championship.

i thorougly enjoyed sheogorath's Daedric quest where you have to reenact the 3 sides to the prophecy in which the world ends... hilarious!...and the reward? priceless!

So true.....I carried it a bit further, by using Sheogorath's reward as an ingredient for a Midas Spell. Now I don't have to carry his staff anymore, and I can use the spell any time.

Nosisab, you have just made a very good point. OB does lack that. It could have been Mannimarco; however, the way he was programmed meant you had only two choices: (1) Face him before the quest required it and die; or (2) Have the Colossal Black Soul Gem which nullified his uber-power.

 

But if you want to fight a good uber boss character - "Midas Summon Balrog". What you have to fight to obtain the ingredient for that spell is a decent battle as well. A bit scary the first time you see it on-screen - definitely a unique creature. Makes Lord Pratal look like a scamp in comparison.

 

Are there any memorable good quests that you really enjoyed completing?

Well I rather enjoyed completing the whole DB questline (Since I am an assassin :D) especially the quest that was in a manor where you murder each of the guests while they were searchin the house for treasure, it was fun making them fight eachother and clean up the mess, it was quite well since I didnt really need to resort to violence too much...

 

And I was really sad when I became the Arena Champion and beat The Gray Prince... He didnt even raise his sword... He just stood there and said "Kill me, end my suffering..." and I had no other choice but beat him down, I didnt have a chance if he would ever raise his sword since I was no fighter but I got him down anyway... It was sad really...

Yes, that was better than having to do evil. Then you must be skipping all of the good quests if you are truly role-playing an assassin.

 

The Grey Prince was sad. The devs accomplished their task for that quest, then. They wanted the player to experience that feeling. However, I've played it both ways, and the orc fights ok if you don't activate his side-quest.

 

What about your previous games? Have you ever run a good character and recall a good quest you enjoyed?
