VGW: Adventurers have been hunting for the fabled Daedric artifacts in Elder Scrolls games since, well, Daggerfall. The artifacts have undergone some tweaks over the years — for better and worse — but one thing is certain: they are the ultimate ES status symbol. There is nothing as satisfying in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as displaying your trophies throughout your home. My Solitude house has an entire Daedric room where I entertain guests over sniffers of Courvoisier.
But the real question for new players may be: what artifacts are most worthwhile to hunt down?
As The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 125GB, original designer Bruce Nesmith recalls fitting Skyrim into a tiny file size.
Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.
Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.
Big Bethesda Nintendo Switch eShop sale now live with lowest prices ever for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom (2016), and more.
nice list! been rockin' the Molag Bal mace since pretty early on and haven't looked back, even smithed it up. I've noticed that i can kill stuff outside of 3 seconds and still soul trap, maybe a glitch i dunno, but i'm not complaining lol
It soul traps on every swing, so as long as you kill whatever it is you're hitting with that weapon or something else within 3 seconds of you're last swing it will still soul trap.
Sorry, meant to reply to dunpeal.
@ Kramun
I honestly haven't compared it to other enchanted weapons to notice the difference in charging, but i'll take your word for it as I do have to charge it frequently. of course, I don't mind it and soul gems are plentiful.
on a side note, i randomly equipped a normal mace and I laughed at how crappy it looks compared to the Bal mace. that creapy face smashing down on enemies is beastly lol
why is the spellbreaker not up there as top five? it is the best/strongest defensive item in the game and probably is a little overpowered. plus you can smith it up in armor rating.
Wabbajack is the lamest? BUT IT'S WABBAJACK! YEAH! WABBAJACK! IT DOES WHAT EVER YOU WANT IT TOO!
