I have to agree. It was one of those jaw-dropping quests that I was completely unprepared for. But we needed a few more options other than killing him or having him be an enemy. I took him with me to do the Graygarden quest and got mauled by Vertibirds in transit. Wasn't pretty.

So I finally got around to playing through the Brotherhood (always have done the Railroad XD ), I'm around level 35 roleplaying as a Science Scribe. As such I've had Paladin Danse at my side ever since I met him since his Gatling Laser I fitted him with was definitely needed and it fits the roleplay I'm going for. Then, I came to this stupid ass quest that basically forces me to have my best friend killed in the name of the Brotherhood, OR I can speech check my way out of him getting killed but instead he's now an enemy of the Brotherhood and I can't even take him back to my home base at Boston Airport. WTF Bethesda, I want my PALADIN Danse back, not this muddied "traitor" Danse that I somehow have to roleplay a reason for it to make sense for my science scribe to continue to do missions FOR THE BROTHERHOOD with an ENEMY of the Brotherhood.
Ugh.
I'm so glad you posted this. I'm just playing for the first... less

I just joinned today. I thought I would just say hello and tell you a bit about me. I spend my free time playing games, (mostly Skyrim and Fallout 4) my favorite thing to do is come up with backstorys for characters. So if you need help with a Backstory or something like that I will be more then happy to try to help! I love "Table top roleplaying games" favorite is D&D, which is an inspiration for some of my builds. Feel free to call me what you like. It does not really matter to me! I hope I can share some of my great builds with you guys!
Thank you for reading and welcoming me,
I can not wait to share my builds with everyone,
Best wishes,

Good to know about the face sculptor. I was hoping there would be some way to change your character's look. I haven't been to Riften yet, but will look into it when I finally get there.

I picked 1h axe because I saw it can do bleed damage once you get enough points for that ability. Any little bit helps with the dps. I have been using the frost spider poison that drops when I'm up against something particularly difficult.
My lock picking sucks, lol. But I always try each door or chest I come across because sometimes I get lucky. And I sneak everywhere which I think is helping, not with lockpicking, but just to get around things I may not want to fight just then. I can get close enough to the elk and deer to take effective shots with my bow.
I joined the Companions and became a werewolf right off but keep forgetting I have that ability, heehe. I wonder what those folks in the Dawnguard are gonna think about that as we go along? I met some chicky on the road wh... less

Anyway, I made a Nord who favors 1h Axe and Shield. My biggest problem with him is that somehow he wound up with eyeliner! But a strategically worn helm solves that issue. I'm getting the hang of headshots with my trusty bow and its great fun to see the other enemies go "Huh? Wut happened to Fred here?"
Question that might be a spoiler. I didn't do the Dawnguard quest right way. Did some other tasts for gold to buy my house and whatnot. Then one evening, went out and found dead bodies everywhere and vampires attacking. Would this have been a result of me not going off to join the Dawnguard? Or is it a regular part of the game? They killed one of my people I needed to complete a quest! Grrr!
I'm loving this site.  ... less

I really like skill based games better than the ones with straight levels. And I sunk most of Sunday into running around and getting a feel for the controls and whatnot. It would certainly be something to keep in a rotation of games.
That said, it feels a lot like most of the other MMOs currently available and that's something I'm looking to get away from. I did plenty of wandering off the beaten path, but it still felt like I was on a set course. So I thought giving the REAL game a try would be worth the money. My issue with MMOs today is that sameness under the pretty. I'm not in to pvp so the current crop of sandboxes don't interest me which is too bad because there are several that look really good, except for the pvp factor.
Anyway, I'll certainly let you know how I do once I get things up and running on my PS4!
Cheers! less

Hiya Phil! Thanks for the nice welcome. I'm not sure yet what I want to do. Usually when I start a new game, I go for some type of melee. Then once I get the hang of things I create a ranged whatever. I have a heavy MMO background and played WoW since it launched. My favorite class is a hunter, but I didn't figure that one out for several years. So I think I'll just try everything out to start. Amazon has "promised" delivery tomorrow (Friday). I can't wait to jump in. less

Just got a new PS4 for Christmas and have the special edition Skyrim ordered from Amazon. I'm fairly new to console gaming but am a 17+ year PC vet, so at least I'll have some idea what's going on.
Anyway, I'm checking out all the great info you guys have posted and hopefully at some point I'll be able to add as well.
Cheers!
