When was the last time you devoted hundreds of hours to something that wasn't work, study or sleeping? Well since youre reading this, the obvious answer is almost certainly only one thing. In fact, the aforementioned activities are nothing but hindrances once you start your new life; your real life, in Skyrim. Do you really want to go to that friends party on Friday? Well of course not - youve got serious smithing to attend to, perks to unlock and dragons to slay dammit! Lets be fair, the outside world looks absolutely dire compared to the epically handcrafted lands of Tamriel anyway. Jump 200 gaming hours into the future and you now own houses in every possible Hold of Skyrim; are a proud Harbinger of the Companions and the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood. You're a Nightingale; have restored the Thieves Guild to the ultimate strength and are now (depending on your choices) a badass Vampire Lord with your very own castle. Now thats quite an impressive CV; but its not an easy one to accomplish. Here are the most frustrating (and equally hilarious) Skyrim problems weve all encountered at some point in our epic journey through Tamriel.
20. Missing Something Important During A Cut Scene Because Youre Too Busy Admiring Yourself In Third Person
You spent a good 40 minutes crafting the face of your character, only to never see it. Naturally then, youre gonna check yo' fine self when that cut scene comes on. Its only when the Jarl has finished speaking and you have absolutely no idea what youre doing that you regret it.
19. Realising Youve Spent More Time Staring At Loading Screens Than Actually Playing Skyrim
Three things we spend most of our time doing on Skyrim: killing things, stealing things... and waiting for the game to load. At least we can increase the already enlarged Skyrim trivia-section of our brain while we twiddle our thumbs on the controller.
18. Regretting The Person You Chose To Marry, And Never Being Able To Divorce Them
Skyrim: a world where mass murder is routine, but adultery is out of the question. The only way you can get rid of a partner is by being a total nasty bugger and killing them, which still leaves you unable to marry again, even if you continue to wear the Amulet of Mara. So you remain in a loveless marriage with a woman who sells lockpicks in your living room, occasionally makes food, and doesn't seem to mind the other woman you spend the majority of your time with (that just so happens to be living in your bedroom). Hey, it might work...
