It’s disappointing, too, since there’s a ton that Bethesda could have done with it. They’re not much against an angry dragon either! Speechcraft is counted among the thief abilities, and it’s arguably the worst tree in the game.
But keep in mind that we still got thief trees. The difference here is that the radiant quests aren’t really earned you’ve only done one quest to earn them!!įor the skeptics who argue that Skyrim isn’t a very friendly environment for a minstrel, you’re absolutely right … maybe. Each bard asks you to retrieve a specific instrument from random dungeons, and it all feels like the radiant (repeating) quests you’d take up after completing say, the Thieves’ Guild or Dark Brotherhood quest lines. You crawl through a dungeon to retrieve an old edda, return to the city to argue a reinstatement of the Burning of King Olaf Festival (haha ‘burning man.’ Bards are a bunch o’ hippies in Skyrim), then you get three quests from different bards in the school. Joining up with the college will give you… four quests. Hike up to the famed Blue Palace and you’ll soon see it on the left. The Bard College in Skyrim is in the posh city of Solitude tucked away in the far northwest of the province. There’s a Bard College, too, but if you haven’t heard of it we aren’t terribly surprised.
We like the thief trees in Skyrim, but they’re not terribly helpful when you’re face to face with a Dragon Priest.Įlder Scrolls V has extensive quest lines for thieves, assassins, fighters, mages, and even for werewolves and vampires. Yet if you try playing as that roguish pickpocket who smooth-talks the townspeople for reduced prices, it means you’re not allocating your hard-earned perk points into things like swordplay, marksmanship, spell weaving, or smithing – you know, the skills that will keep you alive. It’s a majestic image to be sure, but how does the game feel if you don’t want to role-play as a rough and tough fighter? Bethesda Softworks designed a full-on RPG system that’s got skill trees steeped in magic, thievery, alchemy, enchanting, and even speechcraft.
