à propos 'lücht-turm' - eis bispil, wieso Skyrim eso uhuere super isch:
(ha dä turm o uf mim weg zum mage college entdeckt gha)

The greatest voice acting ever

Warning: Super-minor Skyrim spoiler included. It’s one isolated event unrelated to anything else in the game, and will spoil only this one location/encounter for you, but it’s still technically a spoiler.

I was on a quest for the mages guild, when on my compass I saw a lighthouse icon and wanted to discover it for later exploration. I wandered up the mountain to said lighthouse, and when I finally arrived I saw a dead horse near the front door. This got me curious, and so I entered the lighthouse to check things out.

As soon as I entered, I saw a skeleton in the middle of the main room, an axe in its back, and a trail of blood leading from said main room to a door. A quest notification popped up, something about investigating the murder. The mages guild quest was put on hold, and it was time to play detective.

Searching around the main floor, I found a few journals, describing how a family of four had purchased and moved to this lighthouse, the parents looking to retire and the (guessing) late-teen kids coming to help before they leave to live their own lives. As the days went by, the different members of the family each recounted hearing noises in the basement. The different takes on this one event were very interesting, and in only a few pages really defined each character for me.

Little notes also made things interesting. The son had noted in his journal that he made a copy of the basement key, and hid it in the urn on the mantle. I went looking for the urn, and sure enough, the key was inside. I could have picked the lock and still progressed, but this detail did a good job of not just letting me pass a tough lock, but also drawing me into the story and rewarding me for actually reading.

Down in the basement, a hole had been made in a wall, and two alien-ish critters were crawling around. The hole lead to an underground lair of sorts, with the remaining family members dead inside. The daughter was in a holding cell, with a note near her that her father tried to save her, failed, and snuck a dagger to her at the last minute before being dragged away. While not expressly stated, the implication was clear, and the location of the dagger near the corpse was a nice visual cue as well.

The son’s corpse was a bit further inside, with a battle scene around him. No text this time, but again the visual cues made it pretty clear what he had attempted, and ultimately failed to do.

Finally, at the end, the father’s remains were inside the critter breeder (a bigger bug), who was at the center of a massive room with dozens and dozens of eggs, along with the family chest key. That chest, found at the very top of the lighthouse, contained some nice loot. This wrapped up the quest, and this little bit of Skyrim content.

I bring this up for a few reasons. The first being just to point out the excellent storytelling contained within Skyrim. This was not a major location, or even a spot you get directed to. It was just one random location out of the hundreds in Skyrim, and the whole thing took maybe 30 minutes to complete. Yet in that 30 minutes I got a complete story, and one that I was honestly interested in. Each journal was well written, not too long, and those along with the visual cues really pulled me into the encounter. At one point I was actually hoping to find someone alive, and actually felt bad for this family, who just wanted to retire and ended up picking the wrong spot.

The other reason I bring this up is because I believe it highlights a key difference between written quest text (the journals) and voiced content. Voiced content, while also great, leaves little room for imagination or your own take on things. Voiced content is paced how it’s paced, sounds like it sounds, and you either “believe it” or you don’t. Text is ‘voiced’ in your head, and so sounds as believable as you make it. The ‘voice acting’ in those journals was Emmy-award winning stuff, IMO, because I’m just that great at it in my own head

Finally, this bit of content, loot aside, was most definitely a one-off thing. If I roll another character in Skyrim, I won’t experience this content the same way. At most, I’ll speed-run through it to get that final chest, but the journals, the mystery, and slow searching of the lair will be skipped.

chliini details sind teh win i dem spieli.

[zwirrlibatz]

de hani gmacht.

[zwirrlibatz]

ich han au weni (...) konsequänt gildequests gmacht.

[Buccaneer]

unendlich

unwahrschindlich.

gester frei gha und huere lang gspielt und nid viel witer cho aber viel neus entdeckt. S erstemal über sone Drachepriester gstoplered. Krosis hed er gheisste und s fiese isch, er chunnt gud nacheme epische Kampf gäge eine vode stärchere Drache. Heftig gsi. Meh Potions brucht als ide letschte paar Dungeons zäme. 8 Dragopriests gids. Hoffentlich findi all. De Krosis isch bis jetzt de härtischt gägner gsi womer übere Wäg gloffe isch.

In addition to scripted quests certain ones will be dynamically generated, providing a limitless number to the player.

Han bide Diebesgilde was ähnlichs gseh. Hed n Mainquestgäber und zwei wo eifach sust Ufträg usehaued. Immer die gliche, aber eifach und guet für s Budget.


D Belohnige für d Quests falled amigs lustig us:

Qeust anäh, 15 Meter übere Dorfplatz laufe, id Taverne gah, eine bedrohe, zrugg laufe und 600 Gold kassiere. 2 Minute.

Quest ufnäh, mehreri Kilometer durchs Underholz trole, Dungeon cleane, zrugg gah und 100 Gold kassiere. 30 Minute

[h4xX0r]

geschter drache und imperial quest fertig gmacht.
also d'drache quest würdi uf jede fall fertig mache, da chunnsch huere geili shouts über.
jetzt dümpli chli ide gegend ume. ich will no die 7 drachepriester kille, eine isch scho weg, nöd so freud hät er gha a minere armee nuttesöhn wo en zämegschlage händ.

aber ich vo voll nöd de explorer, demnach gitts bald es anders spieli.

[Trunks]

Imperial guet gsi?

[h4xX0r]

guet isch andersch. irgend wie komisch wenns denn verbii isch. mal luege, wie sich s'spiel no verändered.

aber ich lose all dene hoschis zue und finde d'story recht geil, insofern isch de schluss no truurig. und ich hät lieber für d'stormcloaks kämpft, han aber d'imperial quest scho mal aagfange gha vor 100 jahr.

[h4xX0r]
