The most stressful choice is what loot to leave behind. Sure you could drop the nord great sword, it has low stats, and isn't worth a lot, but it was the first weapon you bought before deciding you would play a sneak archer build. It has sentimental value, damnit! You can't give that up! So ultimately you decide to thow away nothing slowly walk to your horse, and hope a town is close.

[@shadyblobfish3864]

I actually find the ebony blade a useful weapon for combat especially for when I first got it and was still weak

[@hollyhartwick3832]

Shady Blobfish - It may be decent in the early game, but the cost in time and innocent lives to charge it to full power isn’t worth it to me. It also cannot be improved on a grindstone. It doesn’t take much to craft a good blade with an Absorb Health enchantment that’s better several times over. Most seasoned players agree it’s one of the worst Daedric Artifacts in the game. Wabbajack is fairly useless, but at least it can make you laugh. The Ebony Blade just makes you kill your friends, and for, at best, a mediocre sword. If you like it, great. Most players, including myself, don’t.

The Cicero quest always very much intrigued me, since the dialogue indicates, he went off AFTER hearing Astrid talk to somebody, about not believing in the old ways anymore. He is a half deranged Guardian of the Nightmother... That sounds like a very viable trigger for him. Also, we do learn that Astrid even wanted to sell the Player out to the P.O. to keep her "family" alive, and just the way it was before cicero came around, in other words, bringing the D.B. back down the "wrong path" when in the service of Sithis. Hell, we only have Astrids word for what Cicero overheard. It is very well possible, he heard her selling the Player (who he respects as the Listener) out to the P.O. We never really get a statement from Astrid WHO she talked to, or about WHAT. And the Player DOES GET SOLD OUT, immediatly AFTER the falling out with Cicero.

Well Faendal wanted me in secret to lie to Camilla about who wrote the letter from the bard Sven in order to have sex with her.

I actually made myself a THIRD option in the Escape from Cidna Mine quest, and it also helps me complete another quest at the same time! Agree to team with the Forsworn so we escape together, and once we get to the part where the exit door is just in front of us, make sure to let the other Forsworn run on ahead while stopping Madanach by talking to him. You can keep him locked in place with a conversation while the other Forsworn in the background actually leave the room. Once they're all gone, take out the Ebony Blade, and because Madanach and his group are considered friendly towards you because you sided with them, you can use the Ebony Blade on them and it powers the weapon up. Because the moment you attack Madanach enough times that he turns hostile, the other Forsworn return to the room to come to his aid and attack the player. So killing them all with the Ebony Blade not only finishes off the quest to get it powered up, but also has you get both options of the Forsworn quest done. You sided and fought alongside the Forsworn, then betrayed them with the Ebony Blade on the side, and then you get to escape and you get congratulated by Silver-Blood. Sure you won't get anymore friendly Forsworn, but it was quite a rush being able to carve out that third option, and frankly, it's my favorite option!

i allways kill him, because i dislike his voice.....

[@tankfighter2767]

I seen him on the road in my second playthrough, thought he was annoying and killed him and then it said I failed a quest, I was confused but didn't know why until this video

[@Bergen98]

I killed him the first time because I didn't realize you could spare him. Was really surprised when I read somewhere he is one of the best followers lol. Never killed him after that

[@lucicade42]

I always killed him until recently and now I love him

Cicero probably has a shrine to The night mother and if you spared him probably made one for the listener too

You should de a "Easy choices to do on Skyrim" 5: Escaping with Raylof: I do believe that most of us went with Raylof when we first play Skyrim, I mean for the Love of Akatosh the Empire was going to kill you because you had the misfortune of being a the same place the ambush was, not to mention you get revenge on the Imperial Captain who ordered your execution. 4: Joining the Dawnguard: Lets face it, unless you are heavily roleplaying as a Vampire you will always chose the Dawnguard. A new cool armor and weapons, New spells, the Dwarven Crossbow (This alone is worth everything in my opinion), Armored Trolls, Huskies. Meanwhile the Vampires only offer you a lame transformation and a weak power up. 3) Killing Yarmal: The quest of the Orc Outpost is easy since Yarmal is just pretty unlikeable, a coward, and a viper tongue fool. Not to mention is more fun to kill him yourself that being him be one-shot by a random giant. 2) Getting Mehrunes Dagon's blade: I mean come on, it is a dagger that can one-shot people. 1) Siding with Paarthunax: Yeah this is a surprise to no one. The simple reason is because the dragon is far more helpful and open minded than Delphin. Throughout the main quest Delphin treats you with little respect, and despite her saying the blades serve the Dragonborn, you serve HER throughout the entire game doing HER bidding and the worst part is you can't deny her, not to mention she is a total b*tch through the entire experience.

[@averyvonfrank3282]

The only reason I ever killed Paarthurnax was because my character was supposed to be a loyal soldier. Afterward, I did try to kill Delphine, though.

Cicero is the "purest" character in Skyrim. He doesn't lie, nor does he pretend. He's dead loyal to the Brotherhood's code, even when the guild isn't. The kind of guy to have a few cups of hydromel with If he wasn't a batshit crazy murderer of course 😀

You slowly awake from the darkness of unconscious, and you hear the wheels on the wagon turning, you smell the pine and snow, and revel in the cool breeze. You notice your hands are bound, the rough leather scraping against your fair skin. You look up, seeing a man wearing armor, who’s hands are also bound. He speaks. “Hey, hows it going guys, it’s Nate here!”

[@goldenknight578]

@@CatAdvantage The only problem I could see is that the ride might take quite a long time because of all of the "Tiny Details" he'd have to talk about during the trip. Thinking about it, another option might be having Nate voice the carriage drivers. Every time you take the carriage somewhere, he'd give a tiny detail as you depart.

how is that a hard choice. We all know you will.

So here's a trick that may work for the ebony blade; if you use a calm spell or voice of the emperor on bandits and then leave, come back, bandits have a positive disposition towards you. Kill the bandits, get 5he buffs. Only reason I think this may work is bandits you do this to, then kill, you get an inheritance letter from them, meaning they must've liked you. Don't know if this works , so I'll have to try it, but I think it's worth a shot lol

For me, it'd probably be choosing between stormclouds and imperial. At the end of the day, I chose imperial because they seemed like a more peaceful and organized faction while storm cloaks just seemed a little more violent. I wish you could make the Imperials and storm cloaks friends and together take down the Thalmor.

[@TheSugaroreo]

I would have no problem choosing Imperials if they didn’t have the Thalmor attached to them. Stormcloaks give me Trump 2020 vibes.

[@enby_sims_lover109]

​​@@TheSugaroreolol right like "Skyrim for the Nord's" isn't that something both bandits and stormcloaks say? But like so many people don't seem to care that Skyrim isn't a sovereign nation and thus the choice of monarch is the empire's Edit: also the thalmor are pretty bad

[@Xippone2093]

How are you guys forgetting that the empire literally was gonna execute you??! And don’t give me oh “Ralof didn’t try to save you” yeah what do you think the guards are gonna listen to him saying you aren’t a part of it

the thing i've always hated with the Forsworn Conspiracy is that the whole faction doesn't become friendly when you side with the King-in-Rags. It would have been much more interesting if you became hostile to the Reach and friendly to the Forsworn, maybe even with the option of doing a mini version of the civil war in the Reach to help the Forsworn rest control of the hold
