I legit never understood why the Meridia quest is considered "very annoying" by parts of the Skyrim community. It's just a short dungeon stroll, the dungeon is pretty fun and interesting, and the quest reward is both unique and worthwile.
I once managed to glitch the Forsworn Conspiracy by tabbing out of the dialogue with the guards and just paid bounty as normal instead of ever starting the Cidhna Mine quest. Was a very welcome development.
@@ThatsCoolDude That is how I feel about the Civil war questline too.

@@ThatsCoolDude that's my stance on it too, you aren't meant to only search nirnroot, you find them while doing other quests and save up, the crimson nirnroot limit you to an area you can't leave until you finish.
@@ThatsCoolDude Fair enough, but you're still tasked with finding over 3 times as much Nirnroot which takes a lot longer, especially when you have to circle around half the province. The Skyrim version takes place in a much smaller area and the plants make a distinct sound when you're nearby, as well as illuminate a small area around them to help with visibility. Both quests can be annoying though, agreed on that one.
crimson nirnroot is tedious and just slightly annoying at best but at least its all within arms reach because its limited to blacklight or w/e its called. i forgot however i've never done or completed the oblivion nirnroot collection quest bc even the FIRST stage of it is just like. man im not doin all that
Absolute mad lad and we appreciate your commitment. So much so that we accept the quest of mudcrabs for the pain you went through-- Seeking Your Roots Part 1: 33 mudcrabs (maybe 34, I wasn't sure if the thing in the water was a slaughterfish or mudcrab, but I assume Slaughterfish) Seeking Your Roots Part 2: 59 mudcrabs Seeking Your Roots Part 3: 39 mudcrabs I might've buggered that a little, but assume I didn't, you have slain 131 mudcrabs in your quest for Nirnroots. (Skyrim is a little too hard for me to see, so I didn't try to see if any were there.)
I don’t know I like the pilgrimage one… I mean you’re given a crude map and literally go on a pilgrimage to show your devotion to the Divines. I like getting an excuse to go exploring without map markers especially in the swamps. I love all the plants
I can't stand that interaction with the priest at the start of the knights of the nine, I am the champion of cryrodiil, master of the fighters guild, and grand champion of the arena. Why the heck do I need to say I have no claim to fame? That is a blatantly false statement, I get he wants you to be humble but surely you could say 'I'm a warrior of great renown but I know not if that would make me worthy in the eyes of the gods.' surely that would satisfy his need for humility without lying and saying no one knows who you are.
Last time I did the quest I also killed everyone. Killed the guys stopping us from escaping. Killed Madanch. (but I accepted his offers, because why not get paid to help someone die) And when I went to Thonar, I used a little necromancy. In the end, I get the rewards, the forsworn are dead, the Silver-Blood's are dead, and the guards are calm. Because F the Silver-Blood's, they are worse than Maven. And since I'm a powerful wizard, putting me in a room with a bunch of unarmed people wearing nothing but rags was a mistake.
So which version of the game actually shows you a map that's *legible*? or is that a mod? Cause the version I have the map is a blurry mess, like someone never up-resed the original 100 pixel square image.... made it even harder to follow! Edit: And 1000% agreed, re: the forsworn conspiracy. Markarth is why I love the KillAll command. (Even if there are far too many immortal NPCs in that place. At least console killing them, they have to crawl along the ground for a bit. Cathartic~)
Don't know, there may be a mod for that, but from what I've seen, Oblivion doesn't have these types of mods unlike Skyrim... Markarth has a lot of annoying dumdums...
It's worth noting that you don't have to go to those exact shrines marked on the map. You just have to visit one for each divine, and it counts any you visited before starting the quest, so long as you haven't got any infamy since.
Bleak falls barrow isn’t even annoying because it’s long or tedious. It’s annoying because when you restart characters constantly you always get the quest and it just sits in your journal
Please, i wanna see you go thru the hell of the daedric quest "Discerning the Transmundane" BUT. I add rules: 1. You cannot kill friendly npcs. 2. Each npc killed must be from different location. 3. Do funny montage of killing them cuz you're good at that. :3 Edit: its in skyrim, just in case you don't know
As annoying as the pilgrimage quest is, the stuff you get is real nice. I actually liked finding all the shrines just by the little map alone. Nice video as usual
I actually really like The Forsworn Conspiracy, I think it's pretty fun. I do wish it had more consequences, maybe even being to find Madanach later on and joining his little band of Forsworn. Could've been neat to see one of the major always hostile factions become more passive. Could've also been neat to have an alternate route to Thanehood in Markarth if instead you could help the guards from the beginning. But this is Bethesda we're talking about and you don't have much of a choice in very many quests. Still enjoyed it though
I dont think bleak falls is bad. I think a lot of people just find it boring because its one of the first few quests ya have to do at the start of the game. And as someone who replays skyrim a lot its very very boring.
For the Forsworn Conspiracy, the only thing I do whenever I do that quest is pickpocket Thongvar's journal from him, then go straight to the shrine. That's genuinely all you need to do to get sent to the mines. No searching through dark, dusty rooms, no brawl, no confrontation with N or anything. Pickpocket one guy's journal and you're gol- silver.
For the Forsworn Conspiracy I killed everyone involved. The Forsworn in the mine, then after I got out I immediately cut off Silver-Blood’s head and just paid my bounty. 1000 gold for murder? Worth it.
I just realized, the very first quests I did (or tried) in oblivion were the Nirnroot questline and the Pilgrimage one… I didn’t touch the game again for ages, I really managed to give me myself a bad impression for the game huh
I remember dealing with Malkoran shortly after dealing with the disgraced mage under Honningbrew and wondering if the whole "unreasonably powerful mage that fucks your shit up at the end of a bunch of jobbers" gambit was gonna be a running gag in the game. Honestly the few times it happens are pretty funny.
I have a mod installed that makes it so that urns have better loot, about equivalent to chests. You can imagine my anger and confusion when the fucking Meridia's Beacon spawned in an urn and I failed to notice. Side note, I don't actually think either The Break of Dawn or even Bleak Falls Barrow are that bad of quests. The former just has annoying unskippable dialogue and a bullshit final boss for its level, and the latter just becomes tedious for obvious reasons even though it's probably the best dungeon to do at a low level. I actually also enjoyed The Forsworn Conspiracy upon first playing it -- sided with the Forsworn because I hated the Markarth guards already -- but I probably wouldn't do it again. The most immersion breaking part of it is the fact that you don't get to have Forsworn as a whole be friendly towards you afterwards tbh.
Those urns must fit a lot of stuff in them with that mod, huh? Never really disliked The Break of Dawn, Bleak Falls Barrow or even the Conspiacy quest, they just have some annoying aspects to them... a lot of people wrote these in and I already did the "upper echelon" of bad quests, so there's not much more "really awful and sh*t" quests to do. Completely agree on those Forsworn, Shrimp Dan the man!
Oh the terrible pain and nostalgia... This brings back horrible memories of just endlessly running around those damn lakes trying to listen for that damned "weeeeern" noise those stupid plants make. Thanks for sharing/re-sharing that pain with us.
@@ThatsCoolDude Oh I am AWARE. I genuinely have no idea how I completed that quest when I was younger, and as the catch-all stealth/bow the reward was USELESS. All that time...for a chance and an extra potion.... No.
The number one flaw of the Forsworn Conspiracy quest: You *have* to get imprisoned in Cidhna Mine. There is no option to just go there yourself, to see what the hub-bub is about, you have to get jailed. Even if you're, like in the video, a powerful vampire lord that wipes the floor of everyone that comes after you, the game still wants you to get arrested. It's complete bullshit.
They could have handled this a bit better, for sure... above a certain level it feels really weird to see the guards even have the nerve to try to imprison you...
I hate the meridia's beacon quest bc the first time i did was during my first ever play through, while I was still new, and I got glitched into the air. I couldn't get down. I was so confused, and i sat there for so long trying to figure it out. It annoyed me so much that to this day I refuse to start the quest.
Yes Meridia is loud. Yes the random location of the beacon is annoying. But the reward, Dawnbreaker, is a great weapon against undead (so all those draugr, skeletons and vampires), and the boss room has lots of gems and gold. So the quest is very rewarding.
Honestly I've played through the Knights of the Nine... And it's not so bad. I frankly like the Prophet's snark, and that he requires a little humility from the Hero of Kvatch. I mean, Nine Divines forbid a virtuous holy knight be humble and down-to-earth. ... *I will grant that I REALLY fucking wish the pilgrimage had map markers.*
@@ThatsCoolDude I've taken to just having a browser open on my phone so I can find the exact locations anytime I have to do the pilgrimage instead of trying to *find* the shrines organically. It's a great quest thematically and an excellent start to the DLC! ... I just don't like all of it in practice lol
you didn't have to make a new character, if you speak to the shrine you're supposed to bring the beacon to a marker is placed on your map with it's location.
Should you forget where you left Meridia's Beacon, just go to her shrine and talk to her. She'll turn finding the beacon into a quest with marker. Learned this today because I was in the same situation, ignored the beacon the first time, then wanted to finish the quest.
Do the TES V Anniversary Edition quest for the Crusader Armor where it makes you have 100 less carry weight and forces you to travel all over Skyrim to random shrines to every god to cure the curse. Yes, it is the same as the Oblivion quest, but it is horrible.
The squeaky sped-up death yells in this crack me up. 🤣 The part of the Knights of the Nine quest I hate the most other than finding all those damn shrines (last time I said fuck it and used a mod that adds map markers) is afterwards, when you have to listen to an endless string of NPCs whine about how they thought you were a hero, noble knight, etc. Listen, you judgemental pile of pixels, I can be the knightly champion of the gods AND head of the Dark Brotherhood if I want to, and if you keep mouthing off to me like that I'll cut your nose off and make you eat it. Capeesh?
@@ThatsCoolDude You'd think they'd have more sense than to mouth off to someone who they know full well has murdered enough people to populate a small town, but nope.
i always make a tutorial or the easiet way to complete all the quest you've done but i never complete them all. All im gonna say is "i guide others to a treasure i cannot possess"
Fun story: I used to love the beacon quest, because Dawnbreaker is a pretty good weapon. But one playthrough, I had a weird glitch that caused me to keep dying at the VERY END OF THE QUEST, it looked like Meridia just kept killing me. It was a softlock, and my last save was at the very beginning of the dungeon, after I looted everything there...... I've pretty much boycotted that quest ever since lol
Gods I hate the Prophet. Condescending, smug prat. On the one hand good thing he's an essential NPC so you can beat him up for as long as you like, but on the other hand he's an essential NPC so you can't actually shut him up for good. At least with the annoying preacher in Skyrim you can just turn into a werewolf and eat him.
@@SpitfiretheCat16 Nothing in particular, I just don't find it all that unique or challenging, plus the fact that it just kind of shows up once you reach the right level. It almost feels like it's added in with mods. So yeah, I love the blade and it is my go to, but the quest just doesn't feel all that great to me. Maybe because it's a prominent weapon in so many of my playthroughs that the quest is just tired now.
18:00 Fun fact, Meridia is I think defined as an Altmer, and is naked except for a bit of headgear that turns her into the blob of light. Something went wrong in one of my modded skyrim playthroughs, so I saw a headless body, lol. On another where the outfit did work properly, since I use the lewd mods, I distinctly remember my character being really horny after that chat... 😂
Fun fact: if you've forgotten where meridias beacon spawned, you can go to the shrine, and she will give you a quest marker to go get it
Well, the more I know :)))
:)))))))))))))))))))))
Edit: I'm in pain.
I always get it at that barrow for the claw quest. 🤷
Alternatively you can just set homeless on fire
A new hand touches the BACON🥓
Also she has special dialog for if you drop it using mods apparently
you killed more citizens of markarth than the forsworn could have ever killed had they escaped cidhna mine

Those urns must fit a lot of stuff in them with that mod, huh?
Never really disliked The Break of Dawn, Bleak Falls Barrow or even the Conspiacy quest, they just have some annoying aspects to them... a lot of people wrote these in and I already did the "upper echelon" of bad quests, so there's not much more "really awful and sh*t" quests to do.
Completely agree on those Forsworn, Shrimp Dan the man!
Well, you could do Fallout next...
Oh the terrible pain and nostalgia... This brings back horrible memories of just endlessly running around those damn lakes trying to listen for that damned "weeeeern" noise those stupid plants make. Thanks for sharing/re-sharing that pain with us.
I know, the noise pain gets even worse in Skyrim...
@@ThatsCoolDude Oh I am AWARE. I genuinely have no idea how I completed that quest when I was younger, and as the catch-all stealth/bow the reward was USELESS. All that time...for a chance and an extra potion.... No.
Heya, odd question but does anybody have a good recommendation for a long term low weight one handed weapon that does good damage? :')
Which game?
@@ThatsCoolDude Skyrim Elder Scrolls V :’)
wait, the 40 roots is the last? I was expecting a late minute 60 or 80
Holy sh*t, that would kill me :(
The number one flaw of the Forsworn Conspiracy quest: You *have* to get imprisoned in Cidhna Mine. There is no option to just go there yourself, to see what the hub-bub is about, you have to get jailed. Even if you're, like in the video, a powerful vampire lord that wipes the floor of everyone that comes after you, the game still wants you to get arrested. It's complete bullshit.
They could have handled this a bit better, for sure... above a certain level it feels really weird to see the guards even have the nerve to try to imprison you...
I hate the meridia's beacon quest bc the first time i did was during my first ever play through, while I was still new, and I got glitched into the air. I couldn't get down. I was so confused, and i sat there for so long trying to figure it out. It annoyed me so much that to this day I refuse to start the quest.
Better than one of my times playing it, where the falling down part glitched and I died from fall damage.
Both of these would make me so mad...
@@Raptorworld22 this is why I carry netch jelly
@@zaxmann8446 I think this was when I was playing oldrim on ps3 or smth, no dlc, so no netch jelly
Yes Meridia is loud.
Yes the random location of the beacon is annoying.
But the reward, Dawnbreaker, is a great weapon against undead (so all those draugr, skeletons and vampires), and the boss room has lots of gems and gold.
So the quest is very rewarding.
Honestly I've played through the Knights of the Nine... And it's not so bad. I frankly like the Prophet's snark, and that he requires a little humility from the Hero of Kvatch. I mean, Nine Divines forbid a virtuous holy knight be humble and down-to-earth.
... *I will grant that I REALLY fucking wish the pilgrimage had map markers.*
I loved the KOTN questline, just opening the map over and over was annoying :(
@@ThatsCoolDude I've taken to just having a browser open on my phone so I can find the exact locations anytime I have to do the pilgrimage instead of trying to *find* the shrines organically.
It's a great quest thematically and an excellent start to the DLC! ... I just don't like all of it in practice lol
18:15 Many parts gave me a good chuckle. This one made me snort/choke/ inhale my whisky 😆
"LISTEN"
Happy you like it!
@@ThatsCoolDude Thank you for the laugh. That segue was perfect.
you didn't have to make a new character, if you speak to the shrine you're supposed to bring the beacon to a marker is placed on your map with it's location.
5:53 MUUURDEEER TIIIIME!
Should you forget where you left Meridia's Beacon, just go to her shrine and talk to her. She'll turn finding the beacon into a quest with marker.
Learned this today because I was in the same situation, ignored the beacon the first time, then wanted to finish the quest.
got recommended your videos, they are so great! you should do one when you make the 'worst' decisions :D
Happy you like them! Worst decisions sound fun!
And so...
Fork Dork was born. [16:28]
YES INDEED!
i wonder if the nirnroot thing was actually a guise for Sinderion to not have to worry about his shellfish allergy anymore
Do the TES V Anniversary Edition quest for the Crusader Armor where it makes you have 100 less carry weight and forces you to travel all over Skyrim to random shrines to every god to cure the curse. Yes, it is the same as the Oblivion quest, but it is horrible.
Anyone counter the crabs yet? Because if not, I'll do it for the quick clout
Break of dawn would be better if it was a tad more natural like the others are introduced in ways of not yup here's the orb
The squeaky sped-up death yells in this crack me up. 🤣 The part of the Knights of the Nine quest I hate the most other than finding all those damn shrines (last time I said fuck it and used a mod that adds map markers) is afterwards, when you have to listen to an endless string of NPCs whine about how they thought you were a hero, noble knight, etc. Listen, you judgemental pile of pixels, I can be the knightly champion of the gods AND head of the Dark Brotherhood if I want to, and if you keep mouthing off to me like that I'll cut your nose off and make you eat it. Capeesh?
It takes so little for them as well to just be mean to you, 1 infamy if I'm correct and you lose the armor + the NPCs are rude... :(
@@ThatsCoolDude You'd think they'd have more sense than to mouth off to someone who they know full well has murdered enough people to populate a small town, but nope.
@@ThatsCoolDude It's 2 infamy, actually. When you get the first point, you get a warning. When you get the second, you lose it all.
no morrowind quests must mean its the best game
Or that I've never played it....
..............Or what you said!
@@ThatsCoolDude Morrowind Full Playthrough (Funny Commentary included) when?
You mad man. Bless you for these quests videos
I really hope your channel picks up alot of subs from these videos
awww, happy you like them!
What a coincidence, when i was doing the Forsworn conspiracy quest i got so bored that i used my werewolf build at Nepos
Also a fun way to get rid of them!
The Forsworn Conspiracy quest geniunely gave me anxiety when I did it for the first time
I think I found a shrine to dabella after making my own quest to investigate a trashed farm that I suspected was wereworlf related
Personally Hated Pilgrimage because i always had too much infamy
After the first time I did The Forsworn Conspiracy quest, it made me hat Markarth
i always make a tutorial or the easiet way to complete all the quest you've done but i never complete them all. All im gonna say is "i guide others to a treasure i cannot possess"
There's not much of a treasure in a majority of them... you're doing it the right way!
4:44 when you realize you cant cheat in nirnroot in any way :/
Fun story: I used to love the beacon quest, because Dawnbreaker is a pretty good weapon. But one playthrough, I had a weird glitch that caused me to keep dying at the VERY END OF THE QUEST, it looked like Meridia just kept killing me. It was a softlock, and my last save was at the very beginning of the dungeon, after I looted everything there...... I've pretty much boycotted that quest ever since lol
Understandable
Obilvy was crazy his final mision is he needs 250 nirnroot
10:23 this insult stabbed deep. I noticed telling people that their hygiene is questionable shakes their inner confidence within their subconsious
It's worse than getting stabbed...
Vampire and klezmer - what a combo! 🤣😂🤣
You are to mudcrabs what Saint Jiub was to cliff racers xD
I'd like Dawnbreaker a lot better if it wasn't tied to the level when you first get it.
Did I sense some hesitation before putting the beacon into the pedestal?
wtf your vampire abilities do damage? are you lvl 5?
You killed like 7 mudcrabs or so. Probably.
It’s nice to know we’re not alone in our suffering. 😂
This isnt the last time you must do more
Time will tell!
The nirnroot quest is the equivalent to the crimson nirnroot quest in tes 5
Gods I hate the Prophet. Condescending, smug prat. On the one hand good thing he's an essential NPC so you can beat him up for as long as you like, but on the other hand he's an essential NPC so you can't actually shut him up for good. At least with the annoying preacher in Skyrim you can just turn into a werewolf and eat him.
Yeah, he's a weird guy... but sometimes fun!
you can start the Meridia's beacon quest with the shrine
Honestly, you should look at some of Morrowind's guild quests. That shit is some of the most infuriating things i've ever done in a videogame.
I've never played Morrowind :( but maybe one day I'll get to it!
Daggerfall was worse lol
As much as I hate the quest, Dawnbreaker is my go to starting weapon just cause it looks cool.
What makes you hate the quest?
@@SpitfiretheCat16 Nothing in particular, I just don't find it all that unique or challenging, plus the fact that it just kind of shows up once you reach the right level. It almost feels like it's added in with mods.
So yeah, I love the blade and it is my go to, but the quest just doesn't feel all that great to me. Maybe because it's a prominent weapon in so many of my playthroughs that the quest is just tired now.
Cool for paladin and anti-undead builds!
0:12 Damn, that’s some very shiny hair fine sir! Oh fuck, I’m blind now. Guards, arrest this man!
The shiniest!
appreciate the yiddish music, shalom
Bro did they put the Nirnroot quest both in Oblivion and Skyrim? xDDD
Yeah... they tortured us in both...
@@ThatsCoolDude Haven’t done it yet but my friend finished the quest recently and I’m pretty sure she hated every second of it LoL
I hate the forsworn bullshit. Got a mod to shove eltrys note back in his face and just ends the quest then and there.
Mods are cool
For me, the forsworn conspiracy is quiet good, because it has politics in it
Umm, there are some fun parts, just the factions are annoying...
don't you dare stop making these kind of videos friend
I'll try friend!
Fuck I missed telling him quests
I’ve one for you,. It’s collecting every stone of Barentziah
Already did that one!

Enjoy!
18:00 Fun fact, Meridia is I think defined as an Altmer, and is naked except for a bit of headgear that turns her into the blob of light.
Something went wrong in one of my modded skyrim playthroughs, so I saw a headless body, lol.
On another where the outfit did work properly, since I use the lewd mods, I distinctly remember my character being really horny after that chat... 😂
