I would like to moan and bitch and complain about roleplaying aspects with pic related, and with the release of the remastered edition, I see no better time to do it.
So I was trying to roleplay a Paladin of Merida, which was going decently until I entered Markarth.
I had Dawnbreaker, because what self-respecting paladin wouldn't, and I saved the dumb bitch who was gunna get stabbed and all the lovely shit.
>But OP, that all sounds great! Whats the problem?
I got fucked by a demon. I did the that stupid quest with the mace of molag baal and I had no way of telling the demon to go fuck himself, nor did I have a way of rescuing the other dude or even fighting my way out. My options were
A: Pretend I never saw it
B: Spread my ass cheeks for a demon.
Neither of those sound very paladin, do they?
Now, I realize this isn't DnD, so there wont be infinite options, but you think they would code in a way to tell the demon to fuck off wouldn't you? I mean, that kills like 10 playstyles in one quest!
This wouldnt even be so bad if it was only that quest, but this is a recurring problem! The fucking razor quest is a good example, but there is LOADS of shit like this! The vampire bitch who is unkillable, a werewolf cult of unkillables, and loads of other RP killing events!
I don't know, it just seems like the game is trying to force my hand if I want to get anywhere in a quest. It's a pain in the ass and it seems like an obviously overlooked detail.
Why shouldnt I be able to role-play, in a fucking role-playing game?!?
