Play a heavily armored, melee-centric barbarian to completion (ignoring the college and thieves guild, but doing Companion quests), then do a full mage build, or a stealthy assassin. You really will enjoy it more.Īlso, to help facilitate your itch to experience the whole game, try playing multiple characters in a more organic fashion, instead of a single deity-like character through everything. Try playing the game more organically and let Skyrim come to you. I have so much more enjoyment by simply allowing myself to do whatever I feel like and ignore things that seem more dull, menial, or simply unsuited for my character. TES games used to become almost a job for me to slog through each misc. In some cases, the Radiant quests are painfully obvious (I'm looking at you, Dark Brotherhood) and easy to avoid.Īs a recovering TES completionist, let me tell you: You are doing it wrong. On a more serious note, I think you'd be better served by picking up a copy of the official strategy guide or otherwise assembling a list of 'real' quests, than by trying to hack around this aspect of gameplay. For example, a number of Thieves Guild quests only unlock after a certain number of the random Radiant jobs have been done. Many real quests use radiant or 'miscellaneous' quests as breadcrumbs and/or prerequisites. Is there a downside to disabling radiant quests? Do certain "real" quests require completion of a radiant quest? Is there a way to disable radiant quests, perhaps in the console? Skyrim creates a problem for me, it never ends.
