You never really feel a part of any of the guilds - you can become archmage without even casting any spells. It's sad really even in oblivion the guild quests were great let's not even mention morrowind. Again finishing them opens up radiant quests. Thief/Assasin's db guild - these are the worst imo mindless irrelevant quests that don't really progress any story and then suddenly the leader turns out to be a betrayer and then you become the new leader. Finishing these guys opens up pest control quests. Bethesda evidently put a lot of effort into animating the werewolf model which is rather nice. you never see any adverse effects of becoming one and all it does at lower levels is act as a cheap alternative to a horse. out of the blue you discover that the companions are werewolves. None of the other guilds had anything similar.Ĭompanion quests - 'suddenly, werewolves'. The psijic order and orb were interesting. It felt like bethesda put a lot of effort into the daedric quests & mage guild questline and then just madly rushed through the others. Skyrim is a fantastic game, but these things I think are dumb. I've played Skyrim for 70 hours on the PS3 no less, and have hardly any bugs at all.

It's the same just everyone is more happy. You do the quests and you save them all, but you don't really get to see back at their shinning glory. The Dark Brotherhood, the Thieves guild and the Mage's College, are no where near as big and fancy as they were 200 years ago. The other problem is that all the guilds excepted The Companions are in the shitter. It's not like you actually get any control over the guild or anything. Beside NPCs saying 'Hey your the new boss huh?' nothing changes. Becoming the boss of the guild is completely pointless anyways. The guy that's been there for two days should be fine as the new boss. You should be the new boss.' You know forget that there are a dozen people that outrank you, have been there longer, and actually know how to run the guild. The rest of them are just 'Hey the old boss died one way or the other. That is one 'you become the boss' scenario I can get behind. Being the listener for the Dark brotherhood actually makes sense. Yes you went on this big adventure and basically saved the guild, but dude you just joined the guild yesterday. I would find it much better and believable if you didn't become the boss of all them at the end. The answer is better storytelling quite frankly. Letting you only do one per save file/character is not the answer either. That's kinda stupid when you think about it. My one character is the leader of The Companions and Thieves gulid, The listener for the Dark Brotherhood, the Archmage of the college, and the guy that basically single handedly stopped the civil war. It's the fact that you become the leader of that group at the end.
