Yeah, Skyrim's biggest failing as far as quests go was the guilds in my opinion. They all felt really short, and some (I'm looking at you companions!) were just stupid.

We are the noble brotherhood of companions!
*Gets quest to beat the shit out of a defenseless old lady*
*Does precisely one quest*
Aha! Now we shall let you into our most intimate secret and set you loose on innocent townsfolk!

Yes! And if you choose not to accept this great gift and drink the tainted blood of this wolfchick we will stand in this cave for all eternity!

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Yeah, Companions quest really makes me think that they told the guy they were going to fire him as soon as he finished the questline, so he just didn't even try.

[forsaken1111]

Did you enjoy the grave admonishment to 'behave honorably' on the quest? From the werewolf? Who told you to beat up a helpless citizen?

[Shadowlord]

My thoughts on it were essentially "Sneaking, magic, and backstabbing are honorable, right? Tally ho."

The Mages' Guild quests in Oblivion felt like there was a lot more to them, and many of the quests in Skyrim had the feel of "and now I'm sending you to the other side of the map for another fetch quest again."

Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that Oblivion's mages guild quests WEREN'T "Go to the other side of the map and fetch me 20 deer penises"? They were all either that or "Go down an aylied ruin and kill someone and take his shiny thing."

Not that they didn't have their moments though.

To be fair, Labrynthian was more of an "OHSHIT" moment

 Especially if you don't go in the correct entrance, instead checking out one of the several other doors that lead to certain doom

Was talking about the mage quests in Oblivion being just as generic, if not more so, than the College quests in Skyrim. Personally, haven't played through the college yet as I'm still working on the battle part of my eventual battlemage, but I liked Saarthal.

After saarthal, they become fetch quests again, sadly.

Mages Guild in Oblivion: Go down this well and drown! HAHAHA.

Later, kill the King of Worms. Who is a pansy.
He just stood there and tried to paralyze my altmer vampire repeatedly, to no effect.

Was expecting a King of Liches, instead got a sour-faced Altmer. Also, I think it's kind of stupid that you can go through the questline without having any skill whatsoever in magic. I think it might be that way in Skyrim, too, but again haven't played through.

[Rose]

In skyrim, you need a minimum magic skill to get into the mages guild in the first place, but after that you're home free.

[Eagle_eye]

actually, I think most of the spells you can be offered require less than 100 magicka.

[WillowLuman]

So once more you're head of a center of higher magical learning without knowing diddly squat about magic yourself
