So I went back to tribunal even though the goblins irritated me. And happily I only had to kill another three or four of them. But frankly the plot is very frustrating.

Am I the only one who is confused by whose side I'm on? Apparently Helseth tried to have me killed. Now we're best mates and I'm investigating stuff for him. I find out about the dark brotherhood plot and go tell the guard guy, and he says don't worry about that how about you go find me an informant. Sure, I say! At the same time I'm working for Almalexia, with no choice but to crank up some weather for her. Hello! I just spent a good deal of time and effort trying to get rid of ashstorms on the mainland and now I'm just supposed to go, oh sure Almalexia, I'll whip some up just to soothe your ego, no problem. I can't roleplay this! There just don't seem to be any options to do things differently than the totally linear (and confusing!) way they've set out, which, after the Morrowind plot, is very disappointing. While the main plot of Morrowind was reasonably linear, I at least didn't get any options of joining Dagoth Ur or doing the Sunder and Keening bit differently, but I was actually on someone's side and doing good. Now it's totally ambivalent, not good or bad, just a lackey doing stuff for seemingly no good reason [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]

Plus those trap things in the forgotten sewer are totally annoying
