i think the funniest example of skyrim's compartmentalization is the fact that you can make deals with multiple satans, roughly ten satans, and still leave almost no impact on the world whatsoever. my soul's got a dozen sold stickers on it and the best skyrim's got is "well you have to kill an NPC."
yknow, the thing ive been doing 90% of the time.
it's no wonder the elder scrolls is memetic for the classic "save game and murder the town" moments, you start going mad, you just want something to stick and have meaning.
