What was your Hardest Quest to go Through With?

ArchMikem

I'm not talking about gameplay difficulty. I'm talking about the Story. The Actions. The Feels.

Nothing in this game hit me harder in the Heart than Malabal Tor's Questline. The Green Lady and The Hound, or by his given name, Ulthorn. They were childhood friends, inseparable, in love. Outside of Spiritual Intervention they were meant to be. But then the last Green Lady died after the events at Khenarthi's Roost, and Ulthorn's love was chosen by The Green. Ripped away from him by Society and Tradition, expected and forced to give up the one he coveted most, his pain fell him to Hircine and he became the Hound, only so he could have his love returned to him. Have, in his eyes, the wrongs righted again. But this only turned the world against him, including us, the Vestige.

Forced to kill Ulthorn, and then play along with the charade of the Green Lady's "lovely" Marriage to the interloper Silvenar immediately after Ulthorn's death, was perhaps the hardest thing to do in Overland Questing. And because I have Alts, I've had to kill the one NPC I sympathize with the most over and over again. I don't blame any of Ulthorn's actions. I know the pain of having your love torn away from you, and being powerless. I understand his fall, and I would've preferred not having been the one forced to end him.

So! Who else here gets too into the Questing like I have?

Khali and Shazah. Heartbreaking And Shadowfen storyline.

Milvan

To let Razum Dar go... xD

Minyassa

Anything that helps a slaver, ever, and I don't get to kill them. I feel dirty afterward.

That one quest in Coldharbour where you have to save the Ayleid King always gets my emotions going.

Rage mostly, because of that stupid ****ing turning crystal puzzle.

Hardest quest to go through with? The sun-in-shadow questline from morrowind.
I didn't like the character and found the quests a bit tedious.
The thing that got me most was after she triggered me with her annoyingness (is that a word?), i didn't get the option to turn on her.

Doctordarkspawn

Sun-in-Shadow's quest from Morrowind.

Forcing me to let Khajiit slaves be enslaved is not a good way to please me. In fact, making Khajiit general enemies of the DLC isn't a great way to please me.

Lylith

ebonheart has one i've avoided doing since the first time i encountered it, crossroads.

Linaleah

were they in love? or was he in love and she said no and he had a tantrum? I had no problem dealing with The Hound, none at all.

the quests that get me where no matter how hard I try, I cannot make a different choice are mage guild quest line

"go to hell, uncle Sheo, not even for those delicious delicious skill points you jerk"

and the main story. I hate making that choice. I always make the same one -

Lyris and Sai have been through enough, the both deserve some happiness,

but its still a sucky choice to make for me.

the choice i absolutely despise making, becasue there's just no right choice there is in the coldhardbor quest to help the alchemists.

in general I tend to get involved in quest stories, its a huge reason why I enjoy this game, because I love all the stories, big and small

They were together. Dialogue said they were betrothed, he gave her that amulet he made as an engagement gift and she accepted, I mean do you pay attention to the script? lol

Chronicburn

Anything where I have to save cats or ugly lizard slaves makes me mad. Would join the other side and kill those furry menaces always saying “this one” ugh ... if only it would give the same reward lol

But you free them at the end. .... In fact, I remember another person on this forum who was enraged because he was "forced" to free the slaves, and he didn't want to. LOL. He wrote a thread about it a few months ago.

Hempyre

The main line, over...and...over...
Can't bypass any of the dialogue either.

There should be an option to fast track it or something after a first complete.

I like(d) soul assault, and need them skill points.

kip_silverwolf

That one in Greenshade where you collect the flowers for the aging Bosmer couple. I didn't want to give the flowers back because I knew how it ended - must have held onto that quest for weeks before I finally handed it in, bawling like a baby as I did so!
I can't bring myself to start that quest on any of my alts now!

McI

A quest in Cyrodill where you poison that dude's pet goblin.

Me too.

This quest really emotionally affected me. In fact it was the only time a game has hit me right in the feels like this. I too found it difficult to complete the quest for that reason too.

SirAxen

Funny enough, OP...that was the one I was going to post about. So, instead you get an insightful. haha

Shadzilla

The end of the mages guild questline where you get completely penetrated by ZOS only rewarding you 1 out of a possible 2 skillpoints for making the morally correct choice.

and she said he was her dearest friend. not a fiances. friend. it seems the hound assumed a bit too much. she liked him. she wanted to help him. he wanted more than she was willing or able to give, so he threw a tantrum. i do in fact pay attention to the script and I have no sympathy for the hound. he hurt a LOT of people including someone he claimed to love. the only reason I don't hate him the way I tend to despise every tharn family member we had the displeasure to meet in game, is becasue at the end... he actualy seems to feel remorse for his actions. doesn't excuse them, but at least maybe he learned something (I think that was in a side quest, because i remember his spirit feeling apologetic and wanting to make amends).

she made a choice. she accepted her responsibility and she seems to genuinely like Silvenaar to boot. I get it, after helping him along on a number of quests in greenshade, I like him too. he is a good man. EVEN if she were in love with the hound, she still. made. a choice. and instead of respecting it and what it meant for their people, hound threw a tantrum. yeah, no. no sympathy. I would feel far more sympathetic if he didn't chose to lash out the way he did. he crossed the line.

There have been a few, but the first really tough one was Pact Advocate in Grahtwood. No good choice, with a side of sad.

Do I save Fort Zeren or the docks ? Either way people I previously got to know are going to die.

paulsimonps

Me and the wife both hate the quest in cyrodiil where you kill the friendly goblin that was friends with the chef. He was cute and nice and didn't deserve it. Also, we both wanted to kill sun-in-shadow, cause she turned into an A hole.

TelvanniWizard

Sun in Shadow. Oh man, how much I wanted to kill her...

Enslaved

I could not care less if Malabal Tor perishes in fire. On the other hand, quest in Reaper's March is pretty sad.

hmsdragonfly

Has to be Sun-in-Shadow. Forced me to free those fluffy n'wahs. Like what, those s'wit n'wahs were serving the Great and Beautiful Morrowind, and I was supposed to free them? Not gonna happen on my watch.

Also this s'wit Argonian n'wah, I hate her so much but yet I am not allowed to kill her. That fetcher gave me poison and told me to give it to a law-abiding Dunmer citizen, I was like "what the hell dude, I freaking know it's poison, you think i am an Argonian?", yet the game didn't let me to call the guard, so I was forced to give the poison candy to that poor Dunmer woman, knowing that it would kill her. Even after that, I didn't have the option to call the guard to arrest that son of a fetcher. May she be torn a part by a cliff strider and the nix-ox urinate on her grave.

I freaking rage quitted. It was too much for me to handle.

goatlyonesub17_ESO

For most of my characters, I never finish the quest line in Bleakrock because I don't want to lose access to that community and the ease of use of its resources. That prevents me from finishing Bal Foyen too, but I don't care. I can still do most of the quests, get the sky shards, and discover the wayshrines, and that's enough for me.

If ZOS ever makes the Bleakrock village repairable, so the Covenant gets chased away and the characters come back... except for the ones that died, then I'll finish the quest line there.

Tirps

Kill enemy wardens

phairdon

One in Grahtwood. You are given the task of finding evidence and then deciding which npc out of three is going to die.

This....Crossroads. The Bleakrock characters are awesome. I love Molla and Trynhild.

Netizen_of_Tamriel

There's a Green Pact quest where someone plucked a flower to save a life. You play detective and decide who gets executed for it. Everyone is innocent in my view. It's a horrible decision and I never completed it again.
