Soul cairn pages shouldn’t be that hard. They all show up in rectangular buildings that seem to be pretty unique. At least they would be if the soul cairn didn’t make you lose all sense of direction. There’s a maze building, a couple dungeon building with the stupid eyeball locks that you have to shoot, few sites that have the conjuration books, a little area on the side of the castle, and the big wall. But nothing looks different from a distance, it’s all the exact same thing over and over and over again. So you think you found a new location and run to it only to realize you’ve been there 50 times before. Then backtrack, walk for a long time, and find a new place. Only to discover it was the one you were just at but from a different angle! All this while picking soul husks and harvesting soul geysers because that is the only form of entertainment you’re going to get from the cairn, at a high enough level the enemies are pushovers and there’s not enough of them to actual being enjoyment. Additionally, they’re just the same 3 things: bone man, mist man, wrath man. It makes black reach look like rapture from bioshock that’s how horrible the soul cairn is to be in Really I just want a mod that makes the souls cairn fun to be in without wanting to blow out my brains when I hear the same exact thunder sound again.

[@dianslabbert504]

@@sandracedillo8088 more than a few of the pages are found in places where the Boneman and Mistman enemies lurk. Its a gamble to use Dawnbreaker in a spot where you know a page can be found since its explosion effect has a really large area of effect and loose items like the pages, potions bottles etc are flung violently by the explosion. It would be mildly annoying if the quest took place in a Nordic crypt but the Soul Cairn is a wide open space so things can be flung really far. So maybe grabbing the page first before attacking the enemies with Dawnbreaker is perhaps the best course of action

God I swear my eye twitched from the vampire cure quest, the memory's, the painstakingly repressed memory's. The first (and only) time I got vampirism in that game was from the guy in the dark brotherhood who said it was a "gift" and that he would make me a "hunter of the night". Well yea I kind of have to be a hunter of the night because in the day I run the risk of *internal combustion!* I remember once getting stuck in an auto-save death loop where I only had 3 seconds to live and the last save before it was over 2 hours ago (let's just say I was very low on health potions after that day). Also *why is the NPC who only exists to help you actively hostile to you at all times?? Especially when they are the only protection from the sun for miles!* And worst of all it was all for *nothing!!* Because the PS3 English GOTY edition is *BROKEN* and unless you change the language (something I only learned about years later) the option to give her blood grass is permanently grayed out and will not accept the ingredients, meaning the quest is impossible to complete and the only way out is to reload and lose all your progress..... God I hated that quest. Sorry for the rant It seems I had more repressed feelings for that mission than I thought.

[@ThatsCoolDude]

Yeah, they really should make her house accessible once you speak to her without you being called out for tresspassing... There's nowhere to run and she gets hostile... Once you drink blood the sun isn't an issue for a few days, but man...sometimes you just save in a bad time and get stuck in a loop of loading game+death, over the years I've learnt to save often but I still forget sometimes... I think you can still bypass the bug with the bloodgrass by setting another quest stage with the console, still annoying though...

Story time: To this day, I REFUSE to complete “No Stone Unturned” Not because it’s a bad quest. But because after completing it, the quest literally destroyed my game. After completing the quest, the Dragonborn is given the “Prowler’s Profit” effect. This reward completely bugged out my game. For some reason afterwards I was unable to use alchemy/potion stands, grindstones, forges, basically any menus that required my character to do a “using” animation while in the crafting menu. The entering animation would play out, the menu then pop up for an instant before being forced into the “backing out” animation. Luckily I was a save spammer, so I had multiple load points. In every save BEFORE “Prowler’s Profit” was added I was able to use those menus. Even to the point where all I had to do, the literal LAST OBJECTIVE, was give to the crown to Vex. After that handoff, boom, no more menus. So now because of that fear I whenever I play Skyrim, even after all these years, I will NEVER pick up a Stone of Barenziah.

I think a fun thing about no stone unturned is that the stones aren’t marked with the (Owned) tag so you can just grab them right infront of their owners and they don’t give a crap about you taking it.

@@economicerudite4924 Almost, it's the mage quest where you have to get through this giant ruin to find these other mages and a core for this pseudo orrery and then have to tune it. It took over an hour to get through the ruin (including the ever wonderful "you cannot pick this, you need a key" that's down another long corridor for NO GOOD REASON) and then another half hour trying to figure out how the hell to tune the thing before it finally worked. Big ruins can be fun if there's some sort of storytelling or variety of interiors to them, but this one was just the same 3 rooms over and over, it felt like.

I got 12/24 when I picked up the very first one just by hammering the button. I then just went to 6-7 of the easier ones to collect and in 20 mins I had it done, in the early game! (The magic effect makes collecting jewels ridiculous as every chest seems to have flawless stones in it) After I traded the full 24 in and completed the quest I still come across the ones I didn’t collect in the wild but I can’t pick them up now because they just stuck in my inventory for ever as I can’t sell them and there’s no where to trade them in!

To make the Unusual Gem quest alot easier for you folks, if you press the pick up button as fast as you can on the gem, you will end up duplicating it 2 or 3 times.

What was the Balfour Declaration, and what happened to the King David Hotel and the USS Liberty?

[@tristonmurdock609]

I've been playing Skyrim on and off since I was like 14 (I'm 19 now) and never ONCE have I even attempted to do the Stones of Barenziah. f*ck that.

[@ThatsCoolDude]

I did it just this once after about a decade of playing...

[@ragebyte]

So...never get infected with Vampirism in Oblivion. Last time I played I kept reloading every time I was infected. Werewolf I left though. Only full moon was an issue. Also, having that ring made it so much easier to deal with then Vampirism.

[@ThatsCoolDude]

Yeah, it's pretty okay once you drink blood, but other than that you're toast...

[@CryptP]

You can just go to a shrine or drink a potion of cure disease and you're good to go. As long as you don't wait long enough for the infection to become full blown vampirism you'll be fine

[@Silent-Pain.]

In my 700 hours of Skyrim i have never finisched this Quest 😂😂

[@ThatsCoolDude]

I did the Berenziah as well as the Soul Cairn pages for the first time for this vid... after over a decade of playing the game...

[@YouTubecanfuckagoat]

By the time you’ve collected them all, money isn’t an issue.

[@ThatsCoolDude]

I can collect way more by just stealing clothes off of people...

[@Romanticoutlaw]

old school rpgs trained me to search every container in every dungeon. So I'm usually walking around with pockets full of precious gems from draugr ruins and potion ingredients, and bulk crafting about a billion crappy potions to turn them around for cash means I get so rich so early. I'm tempted to try a run where I can't sell anything just to force some challenge

[@corentinc.948]

The Berenziah quest is great, if you have pointers where those stones are!

[@Arcanua]

I always found it a bit odd in Oblivion but it was easier to find COOKING ingredients at inns, don't go to an alchemist they have some but if it was an obvious cooking ingredient inns were a lot better. That quest never bugged me when I was younger so I never understood the hate beyond when the quest clearly breaks. Which it does fairly often or so I hear. xD

[@gaminninja5536]

Honestly I felt the same way you did when I first did the soul Care and stuff for jib but then I figured out how easy it was when you explore the soul Care and there's always going to be main structures and there's always going to typically be something there for you to collect whether it just be luke or page they're always in big structures the only one that's not is near the wall that separates the way you came into the soul Karen and the other side where that one merchant is that will trade you soul husks for items so you don't have to search around too far and when you keep that in mind it's not that bad but it's still really annoying

[@dacrackhead]

When i was about 7 playing oblivion for the first time i vividly remember becoming a vampire by absolute sheer stupidity, and then having not understood that i was a vampire became extremely hot in the sun and would just die because i thought the game was broken, in the end i deleted the save and started a new game

[@ThatsCoolDude]

My oblivious 7 year old me would do the same!

[@avrilrowland1913]

Very similar thing happened to me. Was probably 8 or 9, got vampirism, got stuck in a save loop where i was running around a city in the daylight and had like 20 guards chasing me so if i stayed outside i burned and if i went inside all the guards just swarmed. So i deleted my save and started the whole game over lmao

[@keiyangoshin3650]

Honestly I only did the stones quest once, it was enough. 😆 I don’t remember the curing vampirism quest being so bothersome. Lucky me. 😅 How the heck did you get so much Skooma? 😂 Pages? What pages lol? I totally bypassed that quest I think. After playing over 700 hours in Oblivion I don’t bother doing things the ‘hard’ way anymore. I’ll check for what I need online or I’ll use the console, or both lol. 😋 As for Skyrim, mods. Many many mods. 🤣

[@ThatsCoolDude]

Yep, after some playthroughs you know what quests to avoid and that way you don't even have to find dumb stuff. After even more hours you collect stuff in advance and just hand them over once you get the quest, for example when I know I'll complete the Fighters Guild I collect Imp Gall... Legend has it Megamind Dude was born with the Skooma.

[@Phireo]

To be fair, Vampirism in Oblivion was amazing, especially if you had it during the Dark Brotherhood quest line.

[@ThatsCoolDude]

In terms of roleplay it's okay, especially when you drink blood often, Skyrim had vampirism better though.

I have over a thousand hours on skyrim. I Platinumed the old PS3 version and I've used hundreds of mods but I've never actually bothered getting all the stones of barinzhia

[@ThatsCoolDude]

Relatable, I've been playing this game for about a decade; thousands of hours divided into about 25 characters and still this is the first time I did the quest...

[@bacd-nn2lg]

I did it 3-4 times, it was a wast of time.

You literally could have just fast traveled to a different city and bought a clove of garlic. But no, you spent all that time looking through hourglasses and paintbrushes. That's dedication.

@@ThatsCoolDude Just drink a beggar's blood while they're asleep and it will rectify that lol

[@beardiemom]

To me, No Stone unturned was something that I just treated more as a thing I'd keep an eye on while doing as many quests in the game as possible. When I had picked up 21 just by doing other stuff, I looked up where the other 3 were and that was it.🤷🏻‍♀

[@eightness888]

Major respect on all of these.

[@ThatsCoolDude]

:)

[@Pherioxus]

I just skip the quest by going through that closed-off cave entrance where you get the crown and then return it to Vex.

[@ThatsCoolDude]

Huh, the more you(i) know! I guess I just enjoy the pain of collecting all of them :)

[@Pherioxus]

@@ThatsCoolDude It is a glitch though, you can only go through that using the platter or bucket glitch, I respect anyone who has the mental fortitude doing that quest the way it is intended.

[@alexanderstilianov]

Being a vampire in Oblivion: Pros: You're fast as fuck, boi Jump gud Lots of stat increases Can become invisible for a long time Cons: "I'm something of a night owl, myself." GET OUT OF MY HOUSE OR I'M CALLING THE GUARDS! You look like shit. Even for a game where everybody looks like shit.

[@MumwaW]

Idk the berenziah quest isn’t that bad… There’s been worse

[@Dirkmez]

I think playing Skyrim is punishment enough. Now Morrowind and Oblivion, those are games.

What a sad ending he had :(

[@TheAverageOsakerLover]

I think the "No stone unturned" Quest was fun. But only if your not actively following it on my thieves build I found all the stones ACCIDENTALY because everytime I break into a house I go "Oh cool stone" and move on and it gives you more gems every chest opened so I think it's a great quest The soul Carin pages had the same idea but soul Carin is ugly as hell so I hated it to hell

[@QilleWolf]

Currently feeling like one of the only people on the planet who likes the “No Stone Unturned” quest. I love making jewelry, enchanting it, then selling it for smithing, enchanting, and speech, and having all the gemstones I could ever want is nice. Also I have a compulsive need to collect all the Thieves Guild artifacts, and the empty bust makes me itch.

[@dogwitheyebrows4190]

Sir how many time wasting quests do you want to stretch our games out with Tod Howard: yes

[@cindermagus]

This is how I feel about the people who say they like the Soul Cairn and the Skyrim DLCs in general. I hate both of them, they're way too long, especially the Dragonborn one, the locations are ugly and confusing and so are their quests lmao I still have to do the Crafting out of Stalhrim achievement on Steam and the one about Vampire Lord perks and I don't wanna do them cause that would mean going through the whole DLCs again.
