What are some things you regret doing in Skyrim? I regret Making my sneak skills legendary and making so many accounts that I don't use. I also regret accidently deleting an account still in use.

In my last character I regretted making my smithing skill and enchanting skill legendary. :sadface:

Whatever it was I ended up doing in A Night to Remember while under the influence of Sanguine's drink...

(I just hope it didn't involve Gleda the Goat any more than she is involved in the story.)
 
I regret leaving the blacksmith lady in Whiterun dead after a vampire attack. I thought her husband would take over shop duties, no such luck. I regret killing Narfi and when the time comes I know I'll regret killing Anoriath, the Bosmer dude who sells meat in Whiterun. My character is a Bosmer as well and so I'm having her put that one off for as long as possible. I regret letting my Alteration get so high. I think I stumbled on a glitch where if you use Alteration throughout the game and not much else it gets super high. I'm level 50 with a 95 in Alteration and so of course the game is taking that as I'm skilled enough to take on harder stuff now when that isn't exactly the case. I regret letting Lydia die - this was before I knew how to reload a save so she's gone for good now. I regret Alvor dying, the blacksmith in Riverwood. I don't even know when it happened so of course I can't reload. It's to bad because he carried some awesome weapons. I'm sure there's more but I'll have to think about it.

You're on PC right? If so you can resuurect her.
I also regret alvor dying. I knew the time when he died but I didn't want to reload. the oldest save was rather old, and I didn't want to start progress again, plus I think it was a draon attack that killed
him, maybe it was a vampire attack but I think it was a dragon.
I kind of regret cheating to get my level high too. I also regret
not playing on different accounts, not using others.
 
No unfortunately I play on PS3. If I played on PC I would've done that though. And actually I didn't glitch the game out to get my Alteration so high. I knew this would happen if I did but somehow it still got up to 95. I think it may have been from using Oakflesh from the beginning of the game onward. I would always be sure to keep it on even before entering combat so it got quite a bit of use, and I did the same thing when I got better flesh spells. I didn't know you could do it right before fighting someone then, and now that I do I don't use it as often. Which is probably the only reason it's not at 100 lol.
Also forgot to mention, I regret joining the Volkihars halfway through the DG quest line instead of afterward. Now my game is glitched and I'm stuck with all three Elder Scrolls in my inventory with no way to get rid of them. :/ Wish I'd known about this bug beforehand so I could've avoided it..

My conjuration really high it's on legendary #2 and is 97 or 98.
I conjure dremora a lot. And I use bound weapons quite a bit in acient Nordic ruins to keep from being disarmed....
Of course there is a mod I know of for that but I subscribed to enough already.

I regret sacrificing Faendal to the Shrine of Boethia for the quest, then reading the hilarious letter he wrote about sven to that woman. Made me laugh, but then again, I had to sacrifice someone who I wasnt gonna rehire ever again, and unforunately for the elf, I had no interest in archery!

In the past? The one and only time I killed Paarthurnax (I wanted to see whether it'd be worth it... it wasn't).

On this character?
Indirectly causing Uthgerd's death is the only thing that comes to mind. She attacked me because I had a stupid bounty (long story) in the Reach, and the Stormcloak guards killed her when she chased me out of the Bannered Mare. Sometimes I wish factions you're friendly with weren't so quick to jump to your defense (or "defense", like in this case). Then again, it's not like she really had any value apart from sitting in that corner of hers and occasionally fighting bandits around the province (encounter mod).
I'm afraid I'll have another thing to regret soon... forgetting to cure my Sanies Lupinus (werewolf virus; another mod) - it's almost run its course, and I never remember to visit a shrine or get a potion. My character hates and fears werewolves... she's in for a nasty surprise unless I cure the damn thing soon. Stupid Dramans (mod #3). :mad:
 
Killing Titus II, he reminded me a lot of Uriel Septim VII.

You mean the Emperor from Skyrim's DB quest line right? Yeah oddly I regretted killing him too. After all the bad stuff I heard about him and then how different he was in person.. Accepting, not even fighting my character back. He was an amazing man and one of the few contracts I regretted. I regretted it so deeply I actually fulfilled his last request and sneak shot the guy who ordered his murder. Felt like if nothing else, it was tying up loose ends. Anyway sorry for rambling but that was my take on it. :p

I regretted in my main character's game that the only Battle-Born to get killed by vampire attack was the one Battle-Born I actually really liked (Jon). In the same town, i also always regretted that I wasn't able to physically reunite Fralia Gray-Mane with her son, Thorald.

I also always regretted that the Companions' quest line went so fast you never get to do any real werewolf secret hunting sessions with Skjor and Aela at night.

When I read Kodlak's journal about his dream, I always felt guilty for being a vengence-seeking ass and felt at least in large part responsible for his death. At least Aela and I got to help him get to Sovngarde, so that made me okay with the whole thing.

I regret that I never actually got to head down to the meadery later with Torvar. It wasn't all bad though as I did get the unique experience of drinking with Ysgramor and Olaf One-Eye in Sovngarde

I always wanted to be able to question Ria in detail why every time she told me how she killed a bear that day, there never seemed to be any evidence of it ever having happened. Maybe if I just saw even one single bear pelt even just once, but no.......

I always regretted that my housecarls were always sworn to carry my burdens and did so honorably and without question, but I know that they were never aware before becoming my housecarl, just what "burdens" mean when you are talking about the Dragonborn.

I regret that damn giant killed my favorite cow at Lakeview, so I immediately went and ate all his mammoths.

I had this one character who was doing the Civil War questline that dumped a lot of gems, ore and pelts into one of the chests at the Rift Imperial Camp before going off to take the Fort, and that was when I discovered that the Imperial Camps vanish off the face of Tamriel when they take over a hold. I bitterly regretted leaving all my crafting materials in that chest.

Leaving the wretches in the Warrens alive when I slaughtered everyone in the Reach. At the time it seemed honourable and altrustic but now it eats at me. I'll rectify that when next I log that character to slay the respawned guards.
