Poll: Poll: Did you complete Skyrim's main quest?

[algalon]

Nope but still playing it plenty, albeit in between my various beta invitations I've had as of late. I was in the D3 beta, had a Dust 514 weekend, MoP, and The Secret World. I've only recently started utilizing Lydia as a dragon distraction. She's such a big help when an ancient firebreather decides to roflstomp my face.

I found myself finishing the stormcloaks line kinda suddenly.. and the I was up against Alduin all of a sudden... I was finish sooner than I thought, but then, I just randomly jumped from mission to mission anyway, not really paying attention to factions and such...

Second time around now, paying more attention, finishing more of the side quests first, pissing off both dragons, stormcloaks and Imperials iin the proces... 's much better ^^

 

[srm79]

I finished it, but it took me a good while to get there. I still play it from time to time too.

 

[Mausthemighty]

I'm still halfway my first playthrough. I get distracted by all these sidequests and exploring the world. I have collected a few dragon shouts but have not finished any big missions yet.
So not much progress there. And I didn't play it for a long while, due to getting distracted by Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, Diablo 3 and Assassin's Creed 2. I guess with Guild Wars 2 coming up I still won't get to play Skyrim for a while...

 

[Creator002]

I did. Twice.
I just can't stay away from main quests. They always call out to me and I can't just hold off from doing it. It took me longer the second time around though.
I'm getting better.

 

[Pearwood]

Are you talking about when your head goes underwater the game locks up?

Yeah, had to delete EVERYTHING to get rid of that. Crashed in the middle of a conversation at one point too, hadn't even been playing it for that long.

 

[F'Angus]

Sure, did it slowly while doing other quests. One of the later quests I finished though. The other quests felt kinda empty afterwards though. Restarted Skyrim now with a different playstle.

 

[xplosive59]

God no, the story sucked and was so bored with it that I never finished it, I completed 90% of it I think though. Speaking of which I was really disappointed with The Dark Brotherhood missions, the story was also really lackluster compared to that of Oblivion, and The Dark Brotherhood armor you get looks retarded.

They should of really just put the Stormcloaks/Imperial/Thalmor quest line as the main story (if they drastically improved that as well) and gotten rid of the dragon based story all together.

 

[irani_che]

level 80, did loads of side quests, even the stealing missions to grind the theives guild back to opulence, was a champion of every deadra and divine but never got as far as halfway into the main quest and never touched the civil war.
I never needed dragonrendm the main reason my freinds did the main quest and I didnt do the civil war because although I hated the altmer and killed more of them than all the stromcloaks combined, Ulfric is a dick and he treated argonians like me badly

 

[Dragoon]

I've played 110 hours of Skyrim and I've completed the main story, most of the side quests, all of the guilds and the Civil War for both sides. Fair to say I'm completely over Skyrim now, after all that it's just kinda got boring for me, even with mods it's not as fun as Oblivion, Morrowind and Fallout it just feels like it's missing something.

 

[Naeras]

Wait, what?
Skyrim has a main quest?

 

[Burig]

Yep, completed it. Along with all the guilds quests (I believe, maybe not the entire mage one). I didn't mind the ending, there have been worse endings. I'm going to complete it again with another character - partly for seeing the other story arcs, and partly for achievement hunting.

Same here, I had to force myself to delay getting the Elder Scroll because I was rushing through it. I quite enjoyed it except for the final fight, it was way too easy and lack luster.

 

[JediMB]

No, because I never owned Skyrim.

That said, I tried it briefly on my brother's computer when it was new, and I did love what little I played, but I thought it would be best to save getting the game for later. (At the time I thought I'd be busy with SWTOR for a while, but I didn't even have time for that due to school.)

 

[Attercap]

I don't think I've played through the main quest of any Elder Scrolls "main title" games, from Arena through Skyrim. It's one of the few (possibly only) open world series games that feels truly sandbox for me--to the point where I rarely even create a secondary alt because I'm too busy tooling around doing umpteen sidequests and exploration to want to create another. ...That's a rarity for me in most RPGs, computer or dice-based.

 

[Tomster595]

I did it on two different characters so yea. It definitely wasn't the first thing I did though. Usually I play main quest till I unlock Fus Ro Dah, then fuck around, then get bored and finish it.

 

[Chester Rabbit]

Oooooh yeeeah there's a main quest. Heh erm, Maybe I should get around to that some time.

Seriously though I tried doing the Dragon Born story once. Made a kick ass Orc and was doing fine until I got to Riften which is when the game throws the illusion of role playing out the window and forces you to "break character" and get on the good side of the thieves(Because we all know any self respecting Orc would never steel) which then just totally had me disenchanted with the game and had me wash my hands of it. Only to be craving it two months later.

Other than that the furthest I have gone is Killing the first Dragon.

 

[Smertnik]

I usually try to avoid completing the main quest in this kind of games for as long as possible because I tend to lose interest in playing very quickly without a 'higher purpose'.

 

[Apocalyptore]

I had the game for about a week before the lag made it impossible to play (this was WAY back in January, I think. Before the patch that fixed the lag hit the PS3).
I entirely lost track of the main quest maybe ten minutes in. From then on I only continued it by accident.

 

[Casual Shinji]

No, I got way too bored.

It's fun as a dungeon crawler, but as a serious RPG it's kind of a dud.
