Why's the Dragonborn so heartless??? | Skyrim Gameplay Highlights

Honestly I wouldn't call it heartless. More pragmatic than anything. Dude in his like 60s or 70s is dead yeah, but you can still save those that are clinging on to life rather than talk about a dead man.

Well you barely even know the guy.
You met him like a week ago at best.

You know...as the dragonborn you spend more time "away" than actually in Whiterun. So quite honestly, unless one of the other Companions literally asked you to guard Jorrvaskr they have no place to blame "YOU" for not being there! Now, if one of them HAD and then Kodlak asked you to go on that quest, THEN I could see the possible blame card as they didn't know about what Kodlak asked you to do.

Essentially non essential characters

Kodlak: hey go do this thing for me
Me: if i am not breathing in the air you just exhaled then you are in mortal danger

You'd think at least the Gray-Manes would have cared about this battalion that rolled up when Vignar or Eorlund could have been caught up in it.

Man... the Companions are just ...

Like 'Sorry, you great warriors couldnt handle a bunch of derps in fur armour. My bad.'

Kodlak seemed kind of chill though. You know for a guy in charge of a bunch of 'honorable' hired thugs.

He had to die so you can lead them on as the dragonborn

What really confuses me is that kodlak and that the base is in whiterun, meaning that they would have to confront the guards at their posts, did the guards just let them pass entirely?!

“You weren’t here to defend him” bitch, where were YOU

I literally just did this mission it’s creepy how it poped up 🆙 n here not even 10 min after

where have I been...literly out being the only one in the group doing anything

I never understood why Vilkas got mad we weren’t there like…I’m new? (If you go with the companions early game) So the entire Companions guild full of Experienced Fighters couldn’t keep a bunch of wimpy silver hand folks from killing Kodlak but if our character (one person) was there then everything would’ve been perfectly fine and Kodlak wouldn’t have died…like how does that make sense 🤣

I wonder if you have a follower wait here before you leave if they will help fight at all

What I hate about these storylines is that I just joined their ranks a mere four days ago, and somehow, the people serving with Kodlak for the last 50 years blames me for his death. Like, you all were supposed to be the best of the best in the guild. Where were you!?

I bet it would be fun to play ESO with you lol 😂

"Finally got the courage to attack Jorrvaskr." Meanwhile Whiterun guard doing nothing while an army of armed men rush Jorrvaskr.

So the Silver-Hand just marched up to Whiterun, through its gates, through a district, and up to the companions? And no one thought at any point in time to call the guards about the armed men strolling through the City? Isn’t whiterun supposed to be on lock down anyways because of dragons?

This guy reminds me of my girlfriend when i come back home 2 minutes late.
"where have you been."

Vilkas asks that you like an angry wife after you come back from a party at 3 am

Jorvasskr is smack dab in the middle of the city.

For the silver hand to go in cause some trouble, killed a very strong member of the guild. Without so much as a sniff from the guards proves that whiterun guards don’t care about bad guys.

But the dragonborn accidentally stole a piece of flower? That’s a major crime

(Me, throwing open the doors to Jorrvaskr)

Vilkas: Where were you? Do you kn--

Me: (looking around frantically, spots Farkas) Oh, thank Sheo. My boy's alright.

Not here to defend him,


Bad wolfie. Bad bad wolf.

You were doing Kodlak's bidding. So if anyone is to blame for your absence, it's Kodlak.
