Last night I cleaned out my misc quest queue except for a quest to fight a dragon in case someone comes over and wants to see me fight a dragon and a few glitched quests that are either repeats or quests I can't complete. The main queue has two glitched quests which there are PC fixes for but not console fixes. Ultimately, in regards to gameplay, these glitches aren't important and only give shite rewards. By the by, fuck the Stones of Barenziah sub-quest. For all the leg work and searching (sans guides or cheats) the reward is worth fuck all by the time you turn the quest in.
I'm getting very close to the end of the story arc. It's gotten to the point where I'm saving just to have a return point where I can finish out the rest of the sides and misc before finishing the game. Honestly though I'm still not disappointed with the story line nor the curve balls it's thrown me and want to see how it all plays out. I know there are a couple of sites I haven't explored.
I've been wishing there was a way to reset skills, perks, and leveling and I think I might have found a way, maybe. Skill levels decrease when you are imprisoned but perks do not so I figure wreak havoc, get imprisoned, and then bump those skills up again. Alternatively you can do what I've been doing - spam skills. In the Mage's College once you complete a certain story arc you can basically stand in one place and repeat cast high level spells. That or you can equip the armor you've been ignoring and wander outside Whiterun and stand there as beasties try to nom you. It's a cheap gimmick but considering not being able to reset useless skills and perks at a late point in the game I think it's okay. Yeah, that would take away from the role-playing aspect of the game but really how many of you "role-play" a single player game?
During my drive to up other skills I have to admit that magic in Skyrim is pretty awesome. I seriously doubt I will replay the game as a mage (or replay the game at all truth be told) but I'm kind of digging the magic. Illusion is my favorite class by far. Being able to set foes upon themselves with Frenzy has been an added joy, though it makes combat pretty easy. Plus the Illusion tree allows you to cast all spells silently which makes stealth healing a viable option (sans potions). I also noticed that casting a spell like Magelight will not only draw enemies but will knock down fire pots.
The last post will be my final thoughts and my ending character build.
