- Ranking #Skyrim Major Questlines. I considered only the:
Bards College,
College of Winterhold,
Thieves Guild,
The Dark Brotherhood,
Dawngaurd,
Dragonborn,
The Main story,
The Companions.
Civil War
Those were the only quests that a have a long and back to back quest following them, so I didn't end up adding any Daedric Quests to this list.

Touching the Sky is my favourite skyrin quest ever, I just love the forgotten vale and for me the boss fight against Vyrthur is a lot more tense than the fight with Harkon.
Yoooo you are the goat 🔥🔥 amazing take
@@TheAshenMage Ty! For me it’s the fact that Vyrthur literally orchestrated the prophecy to take revenge on a literal God, but Harkon only saw it as a way to stop his skin burning in the sun. Also I am quite sure and IDC who says otherwise, but Vyrthur would have smoked Harkon in a 1v1, I mean Vyrthur literally brought back frozen falmer from the dead, kept the falmer from killing him for thousands of years AND quite literally brought the roof down on the Dragonborn!! I also think as a whole.
And (idk if this makes sense) but Touching the Sky as a quest and especially the Vyrthur fight feels like something out of a TV show and I can’t help but every single time I complete it, I almost act like it’s a TV show because it’s so immersive. And also the fight with Vyrthur for me feels like a season finale to a TV show because it is so epic whereas Harkon feels like something you would get at the start of a season of a TV show to tie up loose ends of the previous season.
@@TheTrueBigWill yep I agree it’s the most cinematic quest in the whole game 🔥🔥🫡
I think the main issue is how Skyrim wanted to be everything! They really should not do all of these things and focus more on the qualitied quests just like the dawnguard! Serena is litereally an alive character and have so much dialogues!
I think wanting to accomplish a lot is fine but I agree with your point that focusing on what was the games strengths would’ve changed a lot here!
I agree with the Companions and the College being the weakest writing wise but there are still great benefits to joining them.
Whenever I start a new character, I ALWAYS join the Companions when I first get to Whiterun just to get access to all their skill trainers especially Eorlund Gray-Mane at the Sky Forge. I will then play out the first two quests so I can buy the Companion Wolf Armour. I play with the Frostfall hypothermia mod and the Companion Wolf Armour is the warmest heavy armour set you can have with the mod which is important when wandering the frozen northern regions where frostbite is a greater threat than dragons. Then if I plan on playing more solo, without followers, I will become a werewolf just because it can become so over powered quickly with its fear ability. You hit your action button to change into a werewolf but then if you keep hitting the button whenever you're being attacked then you'll let out a howl that causes lower ranking enemies to run in fear making them easy kills. Use fear, kill, eat their heart, repeat. Your first perk you have to put in the bottom of the tree to cause more damage with your claws, but the second perk I take is the ability to cause fear on higher level enemies never giving you the ability to scare 95% of the living enemies in the game even if you're still only low level yourself. It quickly becomes a devastating power because it has a ridiculously short cool down.
As for the College, It's like the Hogwarts of Skyrim where none of the teachers seem to ever care if they lose the occasional student. If I'm doing the main quest, I'll join for the trainers there and immediately do Saarthal to get the Ice Form Shout at the end of that dungeon. It's my go to shout in combat, instantly paralyzing any enemies that get caught in the blast whether living or undead in case you ever get overwhelmed. J'zargo is also a great companion to have once you complete his quest even though he may be trying to kill you. But that final fight against Ancano at the end of the quest line is my most hated boss fight in the entire game. He's invincible for most of it unless you use the Staff of Magnus on the Eye. But the staff takes a long time to drain the eye of power while he's cheap shoting you from the sides. After 2800 hours in the game, I can often play every single mission in every single quest line without dying once, but that Ancano fight usually kills me several times each. I often use mods to do terrible things to his body afterwards out of spite from nailing him naked to the side of the College to burning his body to ash. I hate that Altmer.
I agree with like all of this and LMAO the ancano thing
Imagine if Alduin could do more Shouts and breathe more than one element, like Lightning or have some kind of Earth elemental breath. I feel like he should have multiple breathes at the very least, to keep you on your toes. Maybe, even some kind of Darkness/ poison breath.
Agreed 100% 🔥
The major issue I have with Dawnguard is that I feel like it was written mostly with the vampire side in mind (see how all the promotional material shows a vamprire dragonborn). It's to the point where the story sometimes doesn't make a lot of sense while playing as a Dawnguard.
You find Serana, who carries a FUCKING ELDER SCROLL WITH HER, and you're forced to deliver her to the vampires, even if you want to side with the Dawnguard. And just to rub salt in the wound, Isran calls you out on it. Yay.
I mean, sure, she'll betray her father later, but it's not like we had a way of knowing that. Being forced to give your enemies an Elder Scroll of all things kinda leaves a sour taste in my mouth whenever I do it.
I guess I can see what you mean but also the vampires side is the least fun one narratively if you ask me, it doesn’t make you feel heroic or even decent it makes you feel outright evil, and Harkan’s reason for fighting you doesn’t make much sense🤷🏻♂️
Isran calls you out if you take Serana straight to Volkihar Castle from Dimhallow, but if you release her from her crypt and go back to Fort Dawnguard first, different dialogue plays out. Serana follows you as far as the entrance to Day Spring Canyon (obviously not wanting to go into a castle full of vampire hunters) with you going to Isran alone to explain what you found in Dimhallow. Then he suggests you play along with Serana and take her back to her castle to scout out the area for the Dawnguard and report back what you find.
For the past 10 years I've been playing Skyrim, and not until like 5 years later I've found out that the Bard's College even existed. That's how bad it is.
😭😭😭
If there was more trainers at the Bard's College than just the one Speech guy, then it would be worth visiting more. The only thing good about it is when you find one of their lost musical instruments in the various dungeons around Skyrim and return them you get a great skill boost.
Great ranking
Glad you enjoyed it 😌
Very nice. I totally agree
🔥🔥
Best thing about the college of winter holds questline is fos ro dah-ing ancano down flights of stairs or over tables😅
😂😂 the one thing winterhold got right
If you crouch first you can really launch him😅@@TheAshenMage
Your ranking is quite agreeable, but I personally feel that Frea from the dragonborn dlc is just as good, if not better than Serena. Any chance your next ranking video will be on the followers?
Frea is a very good follower I agree. thanks for the video idea too brother 😊
I thought Frea was only a temporary follower.
@@bruhgod123you can talk to her after the quest is over and get her as a follower. She has no level cap and is essential, so she is pretty strong.
@@MiniDuckiie Ok.
The DB questline is good but I've done it exactly one time just to see it. I don't play this type of game to roleplay as a murderer who goes around shanking homeless people and widows. That's not heroic and it's not very fun.
Valid point brother 🔥
Excellent point, grab your gear, let's go cleanse Skyrim 🔥⚔️🛡️
The only questline I have ever bothered finishing despite having around 500 hours is the dark brotherhood questline and the civil war questline.
Omg man you are missing out with the TBD it’s sooo good. Civil war is worth a play too but I wouldn’t personally recommend it 😴
i would swap 3-1 but nice nontheless
@@WeirdTroll666 very interesting take but I can see your point DS 3 got mad level design and DS1 bosses are iconic 🍀
@@TheAshenMage isn't this a Skyrim ranking? lol i meant that Solstheim is the better one...
@@WeirdTroll666 omg I didn’t see the video 😂 I saw you comment on the previous video and I thought I was about that 😂😂
@@TheAshenMage XD don't worry friend
I feel like the little quest you do for the bard’s college is rather enjoyable, but the fact that you can’t learn to play instruments afterwards is silly. What’s the point then?
Agreed 🔥
Civil War quest is ass and should second to last, just above the bards
@@tlotpwist3417 I gave it #6 only because the faction you choose will leave a lasting effect on Skyrim
Dawnguard is the worse by far imo.
The plot is nonsense, the characters are badly written and the dialogues are childish.
The whole thing sounds like a therapy session in the form of a fanfic written by a 13yo girl whose parents got divorced.
I pretty much agree with the rest, although I would put Dragonborn in the first position.
The bitter truth is they are all crap. The writing in Skyrim is universally terrible.
@@ronwilson9815 what do you consider good writing then?
Title says Skyrim ,so you should not talk about DLC 's.🤦♂️
I didn’t think to separate them 🤔
@@TheAshenMage Still if you do this your title is misleading
Those DLC’s have been included in so many versions of the game that they’re just a part of it at this point, nobody is playing Skyrim in 2024 and doesn’t have them
@@griff1240 still title says Skyrim,not Skyrim and DLC's 🤦♂️
@@piotrdworowy183 Skyrim is the DLC’s, the DLC’s are Skyrim
