Death to the World Eater!
Jun. 24th, 2013 09:45 pmYou might have noticed that I haven't mentioned Skyrim recently. Or maybe you didn't. Whatever. That's because I actually stopped playing for a while. I took my character into the end game - the last part of the main quest - and it was really hard and I wussed out.
Then Erin started playing recently, and I thought 'Hey, Skyrim, yeah...maybe I'll start up a new character...' So on Saturday I picked up the controller, started up the game, and thought 'You know, I'll just have a quick go at that old game...' and I loaded it up, and lo and behold, walked most of the rest of the way through to the end of the quest (well, it wasn't quite that easy, but you know, I was pretty despondently stuck before).
So I finished the main game. Skyrim being what it is, of course, that doesn't mean that the game itself finishes. There are huge swathes of the game that my character hasn't touched. Strangely, my impulse (on behalf of my character) upon completing the main quest was 'now I want to go home to my farm and my children'. I wonder if that is a sign of getting old...
Anyway, if you are wanting to finish the main quest, I would recommend going for it a bit sooner than I did. I went in with a character at level 38 and because the game scales many of the quests, it was really hard. I have heard that you can pretty safely attempt it from level 25 onwards and it might not be quite so horrible then.
