Meh all I got for killing Molag Bal and saving the world, was a crapy blue 2h sword (I use bow/DW) any other reward for a quest I now expect to be just as useless. only good quest reward I ever got was the fighters guild prismatic weapon.

I almost NEVER use looted equipment. It's pretty much useless for anything other than deconstruction for mats.

i didnt make any friends along the way actually, i soloed the whole way, and to be given that as a reward is more of a slapin the face than a reward, im a magicka user and to be given a stam necklace is just ***, i hate to say it but they need to incorporate WoW's quest reward system where you can choose out of a few items what you recieve instead of "Here's your piece of trash loot, good job"

I've said it before and I'll say it again...why can't we just choose from a selection of quest rewards?? Instead we get something that we can't use or we have already obtained something better. I had started a thread about this and all the responses I got were "well it would break immersion" and "it would not work for roleplayers" I disagree of course but what do you all think?

I know that this thread is not brandnew anymore, but yesterday I finally finished Cadwell's Gold for the first time and was disappointed, too, so I was searching for that topic. And hello, apparently I'm not the only one..

@Nikkae A selection would be awesome! I know this from another game that you can pick 1 out of 5 after solving the whole main questline. Then, at least, we would have a chance to get something which is actually useful.

@Artemiisia Same for me, it was the worst finish ever. And it's very unlikely that I'll play it through again in the near future. Maybe when the end has changed, I might consider it.

I think an awesome costume (maybe Abner tharn's outfit or something) should be Cadwell's gold reward

Give me a costume that replaces my helm with Cadwell's Iron pot-hat ...

Or a toy that summons up the ol' chap to say a few comedic lines ...

Or the ability to teleport anywhere in Coldharbour for free, simply by right-clicking on the Coldharbour map ...

Or Cadwell's Sword (50% chance to say "Ha HA!" in Cadwell's voice as you instantly banish a Daedra with a single hit) ...

Anything that would be fun and *cool* ... not some crappy vendor necklace.

@Raygee Thanks for the shout out!

I just finished Cadwell's gold last night and was also extremely disappointed. Having read this thread before I finished all three alliances, I did not anticipate the reward to be all that exceptional. However that is all you get.... A blue item (which I will never use) and a couple of lines from Cad. No achievement, no skill points, no nothing! In fact now that I think about it, I don't think I have used a single quest reward the entire time I played which is kinda sad. Those who say "well the reward is the quest itself" is idiotic because while I do enjoy the story lines of each and every quest, the point of a reward given at the end of every quest is just that, a reward and should be worthy of use.

In Age of Conan, the end boss the grim grey god, thats was what they needed to do with Cad Gold like, some serious epic cut scene, where Cad takes us somewhere, and we some how see some dark anchor epic scene thingy.

and a skill point should really had been an reward for completing the whole thing.

its the last quest so it should really reward you with your first legendary weapon imho

To be fair... It's not exactly hard or challenging to complete all the zones. It's more of a " hey good job! Wasn't that fun?" Type thing.

What about the achievement points, skill points, items, drops, mats, gold, experience, fun, friends did you make while completing all the zones...? Instead of basing your end reward off of a single item, take a look at the bigger picture.

Until they implement some kind of "epic" gear/weapon quests, don't expect great rewards from quests that can be blown through willy nilly.

It's a lot of time invested and frankly it's very anticlimactic. No, the reward should not be the sole reason for doing it, but it really should be something that is appropriate for the amount of time you spend doing it.

As other have noted, it may be disappointing but it's not a singular accomplishment. It's a scripted accomplishment.

The most troubling part of this game is the whole thing of you being the mighty hero, like thousands and thousand of other people who have played this game.

This is where the game most betrays its ignorance of its medium. Online gaming is at its best when it uses the imaginative power of digital technology to enable people to explore genuine dimensions of themselves they otherwise could not. It has no business mimicking its more escapist cousins in the stand-alone realm. As such it doesn't matter how large the reward is. It would still fail to satisfy.

It's what World of Warcraft has left us with: the digital cheeseburger.

The quest lines would have been alright in a single player game. Not a single player TES game mind you, but a different franchise sure.

I feel like they went halfway and then got scared.They wanted to give us choices but they didn't have the courage to follow through with actually making those choices matter. The quests are far too linear and offer very little in the way of diversity. I would have loved if my choices actually made a difference. Some of the red text options made me really think, what would my character do? Some actually caused a debate with my partner. Sadly even though we chose different responses we had the exact same outcome. They ultimately made no difference whatsoever. That was really disappointing. It's equitable to siding with Stormcloaks in Skyrim but having the Imperials win anyway every time. I honestly think they should have been more bold with this game and really tried to do something different. Instead they took the lazy safe approach and made a themepark. :'(

The two I am referring to are the final Mages Guild and the final Main Quest where

you decide who to sacrifice

. Admittedly these rewards aren't explained until you make a choice but I kind of like that from a story perspective.

I loved that they did that. I would be nice if decision impacts us at some point down the road in a meaningful way.

Daenerys its one of the biggest main reasons, I have left the game for now, the incentive to do it again, just aint worth the hassle, in other mmos I have done the whole thing 12 times, just because of the endning, with fight/scene/reward and then end game content thats actually worth something
