Chapter 799: The end of the main plot is the beginning

Views:

In the days after "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" was officially launched, posts about the game have occupied major VR game discussion forums, and a large number of players are crazily discussing the content of the game.

At the beginning, it was just a relatively unique point, such as the chickens in Ximu Town, the lines of the guards, and the Dragon Language activity that has not been revealed by players so far, what other genres are powerful, where are the tasks hidden, and so on.

But as players progress through the game and gradually understand the background and ancient times of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", all players' attention gradually returns to the main storyline of the game.

In Ximu Town, a place that has made countless players heartbroken, they came into contact with Delphine in the hotel. They are the legendary blade warriors loyal to the Dragonborn.

After killing a giant dragon that has resurrected in the wild, the next step is for the player to sneak into the Thalmor's tube to investigate the reason for the dragon's appearance.

From Dugu City to Rift City to Markarth City, the dragonborn in the game traveled across the sky on a journey to find the truth about the dragon, and at the same time he also understood the reason for the dragon's resurrection.

That is, the return of the dragon symbolizes the destruction of the world. Alduin breaks free from the seal and returns again to destroy the world, but because the protagonist is a dragonborn, there is still hope.

But Song Ren in the game doesn't feel this way at all.

If there is anyone in the game that he hates the most, except for the Thalmor mage who is particularly hateful and shouts "You are just a dog, I am your master" whenever he meets someone.

That would be the Blade duo, especially the old man Isborne.

Of course it is not because of the bug that the sewers of Rift City did not open in the previous life. Compared with the various original bugs in the previous life "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", the one developed by Nebula Games has completely eliminated them.

What really made Song Ren feel disgusted with people was the old man's behavior.

As the plot progresses, the appearance of the ancient dragon Alduin brings the Empire and the Stormcloaks together under the guidance of Greybeard, preparing to temporarily sign an armistice agreement. However, due to the interests of the Empire's General Tullius and the Stormcloak leader Ulfric, There was an impasse at the negotiating table.

At this time, Isbon stood up and made a deafening speech. Song Ren was immediately amazed. He felt that this old man was not a simple task, and he must be a wise man.

Delphine, who usually runs a hotel and is very arrogant, has a bad temper.

But in the next mission, it turned out that Song Ren was overthinking, and each of these two guys was more irritating than the other.

Originally, he thought that the Blade Warrior was a loyal subordinate of the Dragonborn, especially in some book records, the Blade Warrior was a very awesome existence. The legend of the Blade Society was also protected by the sacrifice of the real Blade Warrior who had died in the battle. down.

But Song Ren seriously suspected that the Thalmor people were mistaken about these two guys. They were just cleaning toilets in the Blade Club.

Can the Dragonborn Sky Temple enter without him? Without him, Isborne, the Dragonborn, would have died in the Rat Path long ago, and the body would already stink by this time!

But these two guys at the Throat of the World forced Song Ren to control the Dragonborn to kill the old dragon Paktunas, even though Paktunas was actually burdened with countless crimes.

Once a minion of Alduin, he burned the earth with fire and killed countless people.

But in the game, at least at this moment, Paktunas is more like an old man who guides the dragonborn, and he also teaches players how to kill Alduin and how to limit the dragon's roar: The dragon soul is torn apart.

In comparison, those who clean the toilet in the Blade Club are much more annoying, and they are not willing to say anything without killing the old dragon.

In addition, there is also the boss of the Stormcloaks, Ulfric. Like most players, Song Ren initially had a much higher impression of the Stormcloaks than the Empire.

Because when he entered Helgen Fortress, he couldn't accept the female captain who wanted to behead him indiscriminately.

But as the game plot progressed, especially after going to Windhelm City and seeing more stories about Ulfric, Song Ren's view of this brother completely changed.

Although the empire had many bad things, the leader of the Stormcloaks was completely different from what he thought.

At first, Song Ren thought that this old man was a rebel leader who was dissatisfied with the oppression of the empire and the empire's humiliation of power and humiliation in the face of Thalmor's weakness, and was ready to rise up to resist.

But in fact, this guy is purely a racist. According to the soldiers of Windhelm City, that is, except for the Nords, all other races are inferior existences.

Just like Song Ren, when wandering around the Skyrim Province, he experienced its customs and customs. There are too many characters and things in the game that players will remember deeply.

There are more and more interesting points in the game, and it has also spawned many interesting memes among the player community.

Except for the guard's words: I used to be an adventurer like you, until I got an arrow in the knee.

In addition to the Chicken God of Ximu Town, there are also various characters with distinct personalities in the game.

The leader of the Thieves Guild in Rift Valley City, he is known as the "honest and upright" Mercer among the players.

The only two members of the Blade Club, the 'reasonable' Delphine and the 'quick-tongued' Isbon.

The Storm Army, who firmly believes that "everyone is equal", and the "chaste and martyr girl" Halja who left countless romantic affairs.

Of course, Markarth, who has "simple folk customs", is indispensable, allowing players to experience what "good public security" means in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

The memes formed by these distinctive characters and characteristics have become an indispensable part of the game culture of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

And compared to previous games, the average player only plays the main line of the game.

After getting through the main storyline of the game, unless it is a game with multiplayer mode.

Otherwise, it will basically be closed. Except for occasionally opening it when you feel like it, you will basically not be able to play it repeatedly.

Even open-world games like Red Dead Redemption.

The reason is also very simple, because these games give these players the feeling that after completing the main plot, there is not much content to attract them.

Except for some obsessive-compulsive disorder, which requires completing the game to 100%, many players simply follow the main line and fail to pick it up.

But the game "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is different.

After the main mission ends, it does not mean that the story of Dragonborn is complete.

Throughout the Skyrim Province, there are countless tasks waiting for players to complete.

Moreover, some tasks are no smaller than the main quests, giving players the feeling that the end of the main quest is just the beginning of the Dragonborn's life.
