Was this game intended to be completely pointless?
After years of letting this game gather dust on my shelf i finally picked it up and started a new character which was planned to be a pure mage.
>after surviving Helgen i run to Whiteruns stalls to travel to Winterhold by the wagon.
>finally at the Winderhold Academy
>cast a flame atronach in front of the elf bitch to gain acces to the academy
>i-i guess im a mage-novice now?
> ... 20 minutes later in the game
>"Go to this cave"
>"see the big glowy ball"
>"go back to college to talk about it"
>"learn about it"
>"obtain the most lightly guarded elder scroll of all time"
>"go back"
>"kill elf guy"
>"save the world and be the new archmage"
>Fight with nothing but punching and heavy armor
>Become archmage
Thanks you too
Punching out the Dark Brotherhood instead of joining was cool I guess.
Forced to be a werewolf or something for the, Fighters Guild? Fuck that, so I skipped.
Main story is retarded too, spoilers.
It made me mad that certain shouts are tied to faction specific quests and locked off if you don't do them. You look ridiculous as a skinny mage joining the companions and becoming their leader. Dark Brotherhood has the most variety for roleplaying because you can be a classic sneaky dagger assassin, mage, warrior, stealth archer etc and it all works.

Arent there any combat-mods out there?
Im really dislike modding but it feels like im just punching things with different speed and damage values. The movesets on all weapons are the fucking same and im bored to tears.

No OP your just suck and unable to have fun.
on my first playthrough I did all of the stealth bonuses in the Dark Brotherhood questline by running up to people and stabbing them in the face with an axe. Soooo skyrim allows for freedom but maybe it goes tooo far

>make a beeline towards the things you know from the first playthrough
My nigga look up Enderal and have a blast with a good version of skyrim
Honestly, I enjoyed the game overall, but the only questline I really liked was the civil war one plus some miscellaneous quests.
