Spoiler What HAVEN'T You Done?

MushroomGenius

Jarl of Fungi, Great Khal of the Mushraki
A lot of threads deal with accomplishments and what not, but what significant things in Skyrim have you NOT done? Stuff you meant to get completed but never got around to or stuff that you just refuse to do? (Not including Dawnguard)

Here's my list:
  1. Kill Paarthurnax - Dunno if I ever will.
  2. Re-establish the Blades - See #1
  3. Finish Civil War (Stormcloak) - I'm almost there on one character, but I kinda retired her. Plus I hate Ulfric.
  4. Collect all Dragon Priest Masks - I think on all of my characters I have, collectively, just not all on one character.
  5. Collect all Stones of Barenziah (Unusual Gems) - I'm just lazy, but I wouldn't mind the crown.
  6. Get a 2H Warrior character above level 10 - It's just not my playstyle of choice. Don't care much for Heavy Armor either.
  7. Sacrifice a follower to Boetiah - Still haven't pulled the trigger on this one, I love my followers.
  8. Complete "The Cursed Tribe" - No idea why I haven't, just hadn't gotten around to it.
  9. Cured Companions of Lycanthropy - Got Harbinger, just never continued on. This is same character as the Stormcloak above.
  10. Cap Alchemy - Just too boring to sit there spamming potions. Don't need OPed potions for crafting.
  11. Use Daedric Armor - Have crafted it, but just gave it to my Followers, never used it.
  12. Craft/Use Dragonplate/Dragonscale - Never invested a perk point there. Have improved looted Dragonbone weapons in Dawnguard though.
  13. Used the Skyforge or Lunar Forge.
  14. Become Thane of the Pale (Dawnstar).
  15. Become Thane of Hjaalmarch (Morthal).
  16. Obtain Master Criminal Achievement - 1000 Bounty in all 9 Holds, I don't do much visible lawbreaking.
  17. Obtain Oblivion Walker Achievement - See #7 & 8.
  18. Crimson Nirnroots - No desire to hunt all of these down. Again, not much of an Alchemist. I'm probably one of the few players that doesn't care for Blackreach.
  19. Create an Argonian - Not into the lizards. Think I used one for a bit in Oblivion.
  20. Create a Breton - Magic Resistance and sympathy for the Forsworn aside, just never made one.
  21. Create an Imperial - No desire to play this race. Seems too ordinary.
 
I have yet to become Thane of all the other Holds besides Whiterun.
Never sacrificed a companion to Boetiah
Still have to cure the Companions of lycanthropy
Still have to find all the stones of Barenziah
Alchemy still isn't 100, and it probably won't be for a long time
Kill Paarthurnax, and probably won't be doing that as well
Speaking of which, re-establishing the Blades, probably won't be doing it
Actually making and using Dragonplate/Dragonscale, which there's no point to it since Daedric has the highest base armor of all armors, and even when upgrading both Daedric and Dragon the difference is so small that it doesn't make a bit of difference
 
I haven't killed Paarthunax (tried to, but I got the he wouldn't die glitch) so I levelled my sneak to 100 just by whacking him with my ebony dagger
Become the leader of the Thieves Guild (I've done the quests leading up to it though, just haven't done all the jobs Delvin and Vex give you to restore order or w/e)
Most of the things you mentioned I haven't done.
 
I've done almost everthing, but there's a few I just have no interest in.

Vampirism: Not my thing.
Daedric Armor: It looks silly, and is too much trouble when Ebony is much easier, and gorgeous.
Crafting Loop: I hate crafting anyway, don't have the patience for it. Doing that instead of spending hours building up my Character (What I like most about these games) is nitemare fuel for me.
Capped out armor: I did it once, to see what it would take, didn't even save. With Magic resistance too, just makes the game boring.
Stones of B: I don't buy, and sell much of anything, so Money is useless at some point. There's plenty of Gems.
Crimson Nirnroots: I found all of them, mapped out every inch of Blackreach, never picked up even 1.
Alchemy.
Lockpicking.
Picking Pockets. Ok, the only one I've done ever is Maedsi, other than that, it's not something I do.
Ogma Infinidim: I opened the cube once, realized what I had done, and reloaded from save. I consider it the most evil artifact in the game.
Master Criminal, whatever achievement you get for carrying a stupid pile of money, maxed out any Player Home, nor owned any except Breezehome (for Storage.)
Platinum: I have my own Acceivements, defeated Alduin single handedly in a loin cloth in under a minute. I don't care about/for most of the ones on Steam.
Killed Cicero: I like him, and by the time you get the chance, we need all the members we can get.
Let Amaund live: The traitor.
 
Does having killed Paarthurnax make me a bad person? I feel it makes me a bad person. I'm sorry, okay! I'm sorry! Yes, I killed him. It was peer pressure! Delphine laid the guilt trip on me! Esburn gave me the silent treatment! What gives, you two! I thought we were friends!

But Paarthurnax was my real friend. I realized that too late. I crafted his bones into a bow, gave it to my follower Derkeethus. It's like a part of him is still helping me.

It's okay, nobody judges you. <3

EDIT:
Well, apart from this guy.
 
Yeah I can never kill Grampa Paarth either. He's too awesome IMO.

1. I haven't found all the stones BUT I'm only missing one. o_O
2. I won't re-establish the Blades because they're not the Blades I knew and liked in Oblivion. Also, Delphine and Esbern suck. I am the Dragonborn yet they feel the need to boss me around.
3. Discovered all the places on the map.
4. Become thane of Hjaalmarch, the Pale, and Falkreath.
5. Have never come across an afflicted.
6. Call Odahviing to help fight.
7. Speaking of 6, I've never called the heroes from Sovngarde either.
8. Return to Nightingale Hall after the questline.
9. Still haven't been to Secunda's Kiss despite the guards reminding me all the time.
10. Take any of the Housecarls, aside from Lydia, out with me.
 
6. Call Odahviing to help fight.

But calling Odahviing is amazing during the civil war quests. Storming the walls of Windhelm with Odahviing shouting fire down on the streets, perching on rooftops and roaring. There can be no doubt that The Dragonborn has come!

Though I'll have to admit that Durnehviir sort of took Odahviing's job once Dawnguard hit. I love that big zombie dragon.
 
Havent finished the civil war quest.. doubt i will
havent build the blades up... because i dont wanna kill the Paar
havent finished the theives line... because of the glitches before the patches... so no becoming head of the guild and cant finish the stone quest
think ive dont just about everything else quest wise... still need to finish exploring the rest of skyrim getting the dragon masks
 
1. Never beaten the Stormcloaks side(Got halfway and couldn't do it felt terrible about helping Ulfric)
2. Mastered every shout
3. Played a pure mage
4. Dont have Master Criminal or Oblivion Walker( Cant bring myself to kill Erandur cause hes a total bro and do namiras quest)
5. Actually played as a werewolf besides the part in the questline were you have to, just seemed more powerful without transforming.
6. Like 5 ive never played a vamp probably will change now that i have dawnguard :P
7. Have never found all the stones of B
 
I still haven't...

- Done most of the Daedric quests, excluding Sheogorath's, Sanguine's and Meridia's.

- Explored the Reach at all, except the part which is included in the Main Quest.

- Killed any Dragon Priests besides Morokei, Nahkriin or Krosis.

- Slain Paarthurnax, though at one point I strongly considered doing so.

- Done the Civil War quests on the Stormcloak side at all.

- Made a clothie.

- Learned any Master spells.

- Found every word wall.

- Put any perks into Lockpicking, Pickpocket or Speechcraft.

- Made a Breton, Altmer, Redguard, Bosmer, Argonian, Imperial or Khajiit.

- Been a vampire.

- Even attempted finding the Stones of Barenziah.
 
I know what you mean. I got around this by paying a mercenary in Whiterun to follow me to the temple. :)

Not Jenassa!

I tricked one of the stronghold orcs into following me. The female one that wanted to "see the world". I wonder if she liked what she saw?..

..I mean..we're all very sorry for her loss. This artifact will have a place of honor in the collection at Winterhold and the ironic circumstance surrounding her death will definitely not be mentioned on the plaque honoring her noble and totally willing, non-coerced sacrifice for knowledge.

I know! I love Paarthurnax. He always seemed nice, and honestly all friendly dragons seem so nice... I was just forced into it. I mean, Delephine was against me until I killed him. And when I told Paarthurnax the blades wanted to kill him he sounded so sad, and innocent... tookme about an hour till I finally took the courage to slaughter the poor thing... Now his bones and scales are my armor... :(
 
I'm still relatively new to the game, so there's quite a bit that I haven't done. The things I haven't done, on purpose, include finishing the Companions line and the Thieves Guild line. I'm a little gun shy about the whole werewolf thing, even though I know lycanthropy can be cured. As for the TG, I intend to hang onto the skeleton key until I've finished all the planned quests for my first character.
