this game really does have infinite quests and how...

[asparticus_maraudius]

okay I sat there and played skyrim for a while, and as you know after I killed off a entire range of bandits and got heaps of points a little while later in that same cave they respawned back there again and the cave quest just kept on going afterwards.

its true that enemies do often respawn after a little while during hours of gameplay I find this game endless infinite quests.

I've reported you now.

endless quests isn't necessarily a good thing, it's an illusion, the quest aren't endless, they are repetitive, not that I particularly mind, I still get my kicks from them, it's just a shame.

 

[Daedric Death Master]

imagine if you killed every1 and they stayed dead and never respawned!
you wouldnt be able to level up anymore

there's like a 30 in-game days respawn rate, and yes everytime you go to a tavern and ask for a job they make up a quest for you, that happens with many other places too.
unfortunately the random missions all look-a-like

Arniel's Endeavour (College of Winterhold) appears to repeat itself but actually comes to a conclusion at some point and is worth pursuing.

In that vein, I finally broke down and Googled something (I try to figure these things out on my own, rather than Google, it just takes the fun out of it). I had been running around Skyrim looking for these ten bloody Dwarven cogs, and all I could ever find was Dwemer cogs. So I picked one up to see if they were equivalent.

Skyrim never gave me that satisfying "thunk" sound with a quest update that says something like "Find Dwarven cogs (1/10)" so I assumed that the Dwemer cogs were not the same. But now I see from others that they are. So I'm kicking myself for passing so many of them by.

It is good to know that this is not a one-off quest, but rather a minor quest with something of significance at the end. I guess I'll get back into it and see what happens when I see it to completion. If anyone else is struggling with these cogs, just remember Dwarven=Dwemer.

hated that quest, not because I was confused by the name, but because of the wasted carry weight. Those cogs are so @$!@$@ heavy!

SPOILER ALERT !!!!! you get Arniel as a conjured ghost helper( at no magicka cost!) at the end of that questline. he`s a great conjure against physical threats like giants and such because he doesn`t take any physical damage that I can see. the other prize is a crappy broken dagger that will never accept a soul gem charge. I`ve put mine out on the living room table as a conversation piece

I thought quest items had no weight, even though they show weight values. Surely the cogs aren't treated differently, right?

Because they're not always quest items, I'm 99% sure they're weighted. Same goes for bear furs for that gal in Ivarstead.

 

[Zoridium JackL]

yeah, they do weigh something feirce because they aren't quest items, they are scrap items being repurposed for that one quest.

 

[Slow Rider]

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

I had the same issue with Dwarven/Dwemer cogs, finally collecting the ten Dwenmer cogs required. However, I did not get the quest update messages after picking up any cogs, and now I have the full 10, the quest refuses to acknowledge this fact.

Is this another blasted bug (PS3)?
