I hate the In My Time of Need Quest…
I know this has been discussed at lengths but years later still might be the most convoluted and ass backwards quest ever. I don’t even know where to start but I guess I’ll start in a list format
Taneth isn’t under aldmeri control. According to the book on the Great War. It was…for a bit but then it wasn’t.
There isn’t a “resistance” in hammerfell, they’re independent from both the empire and the dominion.
HOW OLD IS SAADIA….the Great War was 26 years ago? Is she supposed to be like 40? 50?? Why are they hunting her NOW??
They clearly set up kematu to be the “right” choice but he’s literally hanging with bandits that attack on sight? What the hell lol. There’s dead decorative bodies in that cave dude….
This is the most overwritten and dumb quest in the game in my opinion. Mechanically it’s fun but neither choice makes any sense. It doesn’t even strike a “gray moral area” that they were going for.
Kill kematu, kill saadia, kill both, leave ‘em alone? It doesn’t matter. Nobody’s story lines up so you just have to head canon this quest into not being ridiculous.
