I’ll start - even though I have owned the game since launch, I have never been to Blackreach. Don’t even know how to get there.

    Every playthrough I do, I install new lands mods like Bruma, as well as a bunch of follower mods, all of which I never wind up even going to or meeting cuz I tend to stick with some of the simpler followers such as those in 3DNPC or something like that, and can’t figure out how to work it into the roleplay that I go to the new lands

    I have also never beat the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood questlines even though I have had the game for over 9 years

    Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game. During my first play through I climbed High Hrothgar the hard way. Once I reached the top, found out there’s actually a nice road on the other side of the mountain lol.

      This is me too! First scrolls game and went up the mountain the “look upwards and spam jump button” way. In fact that represented a majority of my time in game my first playthrough

    Not only have I never finished the main quest, I’ve never even started Dragornborn or Dawnguard.

    I’ve never finished the main questline. I always play for many hours doing other stuff, then get bored with my character build and start over with something else.

    Despite playing it since launch and owning multiple copies, I have never done the dragonborn DLC at all. I am not even sure how to start it.

      I’ve never finished it. By the time I get to this point in the game, the save is unstable and I’m bored with my DB.

    The only reason I ever tried out new land/quest mods, follower mods, and mods that added in random npcs, is because in one of my early save games I killed most of the townspeople and wanted to go to another land that was more populated/re-populate Skyrim with new NPCs because I ended up regretting killing so many people, but I didn’t want to restart the save.

    Oh, and also I don’t think Nazeem is that bad. I don’t like him but he’s made to be that way anyways. Honestly, the worst punishment is to keep that guy alive, he’ll always be wondering if his end is close every time you pass him, as many others have done to him.

    2k+ hours, I have never made it further in the campaign than the first meeting with Partysnax.

    Regarding Blackreach (this includes spoilers):

    spoiler

    I think that is the dwarf “subterranean” terrarium. I think there is a Elder Scroll quest where the crazy guy north of the college of winterhold (lives in an iceberg) asks you to go. I don’t think there are any other uses except maybe to try to get the “2 potions for 1 set of ingredients” perk.

    I have never figured out what to do with Dravins Bow underneath the thieves guild.

      Dravin lives in Merryweather Farm just north of Riften, he’ll gift you gems and the like for returning his bow.

    I can’t stay engaged with long quests.

    I have always had so many mods that I don’t really know what is original and not anymore(to some extent). It was too many years ago I played without.

    I have never finished the main quest or any of the bigger side quest like siding with imperials or storm cloaks. I finished dark brooder hood multiple times and companions once and almost did the thieves guild (I was so close, then I got bored). I actually finished one dlc (dragonborn) but that is all. Most of my gameplay is exploring caves and dwemer civilizations and random small quests that was in my direction like killing bandits or giving ingredients/items.

      This is my goal with all modding, honestly. As much as anything else I’m attracted to the idea of making a game my own unique, customized experience. My holy grail is getting to a point where everything is so thoroughly integrated that it’s impossible to tell at a glance what’s vanilla and what’s modded, and to just sort of lose myself in that sensation.

        Oh yea! I hate it when I can tell right away. I try my best to patch everything and make sure the loadorer is just right and that I don’t get any mods that stands out like guns or anime stuff or random houses that do not fit in with the rest. I have over 1000 mods so it is a looot of work but it is so worth it. There was one load order I sat with for weeks, I started to wonder if I was ever going to play the game again 😂

      Oh, man, “dark brooder” is perfect. 🤣 I only finished that questline out of disgusted hate from that damn jester. I needed to end him for good. 💀

        Wow that autocorrect 😂 it does fit tho haha. Oh yea he was very annoying I always ended them. The horse was cool tho and the clothes was perfect because I like sneaking around, that is why I kept coming back on all of my runs. Did you join any “factions”?
