Topic: Why can i not enjoy Skyrim?

@zufa86 have you joined a guild and began those quests?

Lucky me, never encountered a game breaking bug. Never had loot problems. I only took as much as could carry and sold the most. It helped to summon a Black Market Merchant - who eagerly buys stuff for 2000 every couple of minutes. Never forged anything or used the alchemy I stuff. That's not my playing style. I finished the main story around 35 hours in. The two DLC didn't take that long. If I want to, I could still do a lot more. But now I am playing Doom, almost done with Sonic Mania and bought the physical version of Azure Striker Gunvolt Striker Pack. So enough games to play. But nothing that interests me that much in the future. Let's see what Nintendo announces on the first birthday of the Switch - won't believe that there won't be a direct.

Yes i did that, i started out with some sidequests as well. Some i managed, like the one you have to cut a piece of the tree with a dagger and bring it back to whiterun. I also started some guild quests in whiterun but couldnt go on as i had to bring a sword to somebody and i dont know how to find this guy (and i dont want to look everything up online). The last thing i did was going on a boat and i went on an island not on the map, filled with zombies, but they killed my character immediately. So after spending a lot of time loading the quicksave i gave up on that.

Sounds like you will need some leveling or undead-proofing for that island.

I know there's weapons that make the undead run away, and I found a sword that makes them explode and hurt others.

Usually you just have to follow a white arrow to find a person if you have selected the quest or side quest (plus button and activate with a button). You can select a number of quests but I wouldn't do that. Focus on one thing at a time and be patient. This game is RPG than action adventure. Which is not my type of game, usually, but somehow Skyrim managed to lure me in.

This is just a duplicate Skyrim thread now. Please continue in the existing thread. Thanks.
