The Elder Scrolls

[Napoléon]

I think the main issue I have with Skyrim is that once you finish a questline for a certain faction, it's like, well, what the fuck do you really get out of it. It's the one thing that's always bugged me with Elder Scrolls games. There doesn't always feel like any real consequences on the world you're playing in. Daft as it sounds I think Oblivion did a better job at making you feel like part of something when you joined a guild or faction. For me, I got more of a sense that I had to 'work my way up' so to speak. Skyrim's questlines, the companions especially, feels like you're rushed through it. The dark brotherhood and the thieves guild are the two best questlines skyrim has but when you finish them both you're just left with generic pointless quests to complete afterwards. The thieves guild is quite good in that you can 'restore' the guild, but I had absolutely no motivation to do so after hours upon hours of completing generic quests in the first place. Also, are there really any rewards you've got at the end of a questline in skyrim that make you go "damn, that was worth it". Not really. The nightingale armor from the thieves guild is about as good as it gets.
