"Diplomatic Immunity" is the worst quest ever designed

[Cedunir]

I only gave my weapon to Melborn, because i missunderstood "equipment".
After days of questing and exploring, i wanted to go on with the mainquest.

Now i am in the embassy without potions, rings, armor, anything, but a lousy weapon.
I play a magician, mainly using destruction.

No chance to survive or complete the quest.

You probably can survive it. Be stealthy if you can. Don't try to kill everyone. If you get into fights, summon stuff. If it's too hard reload from before you gave up your equipment, or else drop the difficulty one notch until you get past it.

Thanks for the hints, but i deinstalled the game yesterday very angry. :)

umm you do know that you can kill them and still there weapons right. if you have high enough magic and all this. you can kill one the thalmor and steal there crap to use for your benifit. that quest is not that hard it is easy as hell even on higher dificulties if you know what yoru doing.

That seems a bit drastic. You could have loaded an earlier save.

Problem was: After giving Melborn the sword, i spent hours in questing and exploring.
Its an open world game.
Hours later i wanted to go on with the mainquest by joining Delphine at Solitudes stables and
"bämm" punch in my face... :)

well, now you learned something for a next playthru. If your tantrum is over, reinstall and try again.

My playthrough was as a destruction mage... when I came to that quest I was like "Oh yeah sure, here's my stuff, don't need it anyway."

You need to go a little slower and all that, but you're more screwed if you're a bow user without a bow.

AKA a bystander

I can't understand why OP didn't simply load a save from before they gave their stuff to Melborn.

As others have said, you can do it, it might require you to retreat through doors occassionally, so you can heal up, and to equip what the guards are wearing (might take two or three to get a decent set of armour). But loading a save from before you entered the Inn in Solitude would make more sense.

I do. Re-read the original post: they gave their weapons and then went off to do other stuff, I assume other missions and such. So this could be quite a bit of progress you're suggesting to skip and re-do and I can definitely imagine that the OP won't enjoy that.

Still, I do agree with the others about the mission, it really isn't as hard is you make it out to be. Or: doesn't have to.

please read:

The last save game before Melborn was hours or days old.

That's not a problem with the quest design, it's a problem with the phrasing of, or your comprehension of, the relevant dialogue.

My point is the design of the quest.
Every "oh you lose the equipment" quest i know, gives you the chance to get it back.
But not here.
