Legendary Edition? I don't even have a single DLC.

10 Go to marker. If marker is:
20 Friendly -> Talk to
30 Enemy -> Kill
40 Item -> Take
If quest_finished = false: Goto 10

Then you are promptly assassinated by the ghost of Dijkstra.

That's just a do-while loop implemented with Goto. There is nothing wrong with do-while loops. Surely Dijkstra must see that!

[Putnam]

It's a bad habit, dammit, and considered harmful.

Here, let's do it better:

while not quest_finished do
    if marker==friendly then marker.talk() end
    if marker==enemy then marker.kill() end
    if marker==item then marker.take() end
end

[Sensei]

So... marker is a string?

[Soadreqm]

Yes, except that is not the same function. >:|
What it is equivalent to is
do {
    if (markerIsFriendly()) marker.talk();
    if (markerIsEnemy()) marker.kill();
    if (markerIsItem()) marker.take();
    } while (questNotFinished());

That way, you always check the marker for being friendly, enemy and an item, even if the quest is already done. Okay yeah the regular while loop is better in this case, but not because of the goto.

Well, you've still got poor data encapsulation. talk(), kill(), and take() shouldn't be implemented in marker, they should be implemented in the player class.

Unless in this game you play as the quest marker....

NERRRRRDDDDS!

Is this the begining of a bot that plays Skyrim to 100% completion for you, metamorphosing Skyrim into the ultimate version of Progress Quest?

[Ibid Straydrink]

No- this is a satellite for the creative department of TES: Online.

Zing..?

[WillowLuman]

I wonder what it would be like, if a bot program turned Skyrim into some really, really long first person movie.

[Putnam]

I think that's what the Prolix Tower is, hehe.

So I played this a bit aaages ago and sort of got through a bit, but then didn't have the time to play and forgot about it.
Anyway, giving Skyrim another shot and playing as an duel wielding Altmer focusing on conjuration for weapons and alteration for defense. So far early game has been somewhat easy on expert, with few things standing up to my banishing blades of soul snatching.

Just wondering, is this one of those strategies that starts to suck once things get harder and you can't really upgrade your weapons unless you switch to non-conjured swords and then all those points were wasted?

Without mods - yes. Unmodded magic sucks at high levels. And nothing can beat bow-stealther,  except boringness.
