Only BS achievement is thieves guild. Most others come from naturally exploring and playing the game so what do you mean "then it'll be all story."

Like going to sovereign guard or shooting Adrial bow into the sun.

Legendary dragon is kinds stupid because there really isn't 85 level worth of content. I mean I nearly finished all quests and I'm only level 52.

Craft a item from stilrim was kinda a pain because you need 80 smiting.

The 10k is a pain because most merchants only have 800 gold if you lucky.

I'm curious which three achievements you still have left.

Legendary dragon which i need to be like 85 to spawn, master criminal where i need 1k bounty in every hold and 10k gold are the BS things i got left almost everything else is quest based, mainly final third of base and all of Dawn gaurd because im abusing the Serana glitch.

Yeah the dragon thing is ... I've read here and there that some people made themselves by just spawning the legendary dragon. It's a solution a person can take.

Master criminal is fairly easy to get. I have gotten that with my vampire playthrough where I became a vampire lord and terrorised the province. Murdering a person only yields to having a bounty of 1K.

The "10k gold" one is confusing. I think you meant 100 000 gold one. It's easy to get that after playing the whole game. Just hoard stuff, when you're almost full, go to the city to sell them. And so on. In all my playthrough, I have access to that number of golds ...

Sovngarde is part of main quest.
Auriel's Bow is part of Dawnguard.
Explore the game instead of just following quest markers and either level up other skills or re-level your maxed out skills through the legendary skill feature.
Why don't you have 80 smithing?
Sure one merchant head 800 gold but there are dozens of them just go around to all the cities and towns selling stuff and by the time you circle back around to the first one they'll probably have fresh gold. There are also different types of merchants, sell magical stuff to mages, sell potions to alchemists, weapons and armor to blacksmiths etc.

Gold is probably the easiest thing in the game to get so what are you spending it on? If you've done the thieves good stuff then it really shouldn't be an issue.

I don't enjoy achievements, so I don't do them unless there is a payout, and these days there are damn few payouts... most games just give you a tickbox with no rewards.

They don't change that much and come fairly naturally through the game although some are kind of hidden, sure they are missable if choose wrong but if you're actively searching for them for the achievement then you'll know.

Which was my point, it requires you to make certain choices in quests to make sure you get the artifact, and at least last time I looked into it bugged out fairly easily.

But it's not a grind like the thieves guild.

'saq' and 'caqs'... took 0.7 seconds. you'll probably have to do it 4 or 5 times if you just started because simultaneously starting hundreds of quests at once usually crashes at a certain point, but you just do it again, and again, and they complete... and you're done.

100%. Effortless. No way to tell, unless you only have 1hr of playtime.

It would be one thing if they were challenging, but whiners with no dexterity or willing to put in 30 failed attempts to try, scream "it's too hard!"... so almost all games now have "goalpost" achievements, oh you reached level 50? oh you sided with the stormcloaks? Congratulations! Just incredibly dumb. Your cat walking across your keyboard would eventually earn you some. They're meaningless. If you're in the least bit proud of this? Then you're a fool.

Achievements are dumb and again, meaningless... and in a certain light? Are a mean-spirited way to torture some people, especially OCD and autistic slanted individuals. They should have an option to permanently and irrevocably disable them for every game on a Steam account, for those that can't care any less, and those that really really wish the could not care, but can't sleep knowing they only have 3 to go, and end up calling out of work the next day because it took longer than they thought and didn't get any sleep...

Evil. Evil, I say!

Because I normally could run a dungeon with a party size of 10 people unless I pulled out my crown and permanently spawn endless hords of the undead. And windsheer and Coldrend are already kinda a thing so blacksmithing weapons was never needed. And until I got them I just used bound weapons.

I don't think there is ANYTHING as grindy as the stupid thieves guild in Skyrim. 🙃

As to what I'm spending on I spent level 1 to 45 on adventure mode. And as a wizard who put most points into magica and Hp I was lucky to be running 300 carry weight at any given time. Lydia also was in perm heaven armor. As to spending it was on Alot of Hp and Mp pots along with food and travel.

I don't know what you're talking about but clearly you're not "unmodded."

And you never improved those weapons, mined and smelted ore, or crafted things to enchant?

I've been playing mage with 300 carry weight just fine, don't carry junk or if you do dump it off at your home or onto Lydia.

As for the potions why are you spending gold on those? Pick some flowers and mushrooms off the side of the road and plant them in your gardens or greenhouses and for the food vegetable soup is so easy to make and all the ingredients are easy to find.

Health potion: Wheat + Blisterwort can be found by Whiterun. Wheat in the farms to the east and blisterwort in the white riven run cave to the east. Can also use blue mountain flower.

Magic potion: Red mountain flower found on paths and mora tapinella found on stumps or logs near paths. Can also use creep cluster found on the ground south of Windhelm.

I got this to *remove* some achievements. You can also use it to add them.

It can take a bit of running around and time since most merchants dont have a ton of gold, but the 100k can be pretty easily done just in the course of smithing/enchanting levelling. You can get access to the banish enchantment pretty early and that one is the most monetary increase you can do for enchanting (without breaking values via stuff like restoration loop). Get enchantment up enough to also slap another high value enchantment on it like paralyze and youll end up with a bunch of merchants who cant even afford to buy it. I usually just spam iron daggers and slap banish on them when im levelling smithing and enchanting and then im already set on gold for pretty much the rest of the game (except maybe the hearthfire stuff cause houses can be expensive if you like to set them up fully). Whiterun is a decent place to start since it has 3 smithing merchants, a general store, an alchemist (usually dont make too much there because ill buy her entire stock out to), and the court wizard who can all have at least decent cash. Get lucky and the khajiit caravan will be outside of town too for another option. It also may not hurt to invest in the shops you frequent if you have the skills/perks to do so since you are a bit farther along. Itll mean they have more capital overall when you do bring in stuff like that later.

I get the Transmute Mineral Ore spell from Halted Stream Camp north of Whiterun, then work up my Alteration turning iron ore into gold ore. Then I smith gold necklaces, because smithing improves based on the value of what you're making. Then I enchant the necklaces with sneak.

You don't make as much money as Banish enchanted weapons, but you improve your skills a lot faster.

My bad I meant Survival mode. But what makes you think I was nodding because of my party of 9 other members? As for flowers it was because i didn't take any points in alchemy so my potions stunk. As for Lydia she carried sangwen Rose staff, wabbajack, windshire, ebony mail, dragon gloves and boots, falmer mask, and shield of yesgamor so she had Alot of weight already. As for me most of my inventory is those stupid quest items and potions. And Survival mode nerfed me ar least 200 carry points which sucked.
