  • Skyrim is a game of many quests the Dragonborn can take up as apart of The Elder Scrolls 5’s main storyline and it’s factions. However, some of Skyrim’s most memorable adventures aren’t attached to the grand campaign and are instead entirely independent side quests. Side quests offer many of TES 5’s best adventures and definitely shouldn’t be overlooked. So today we’ll be taking a look at my top five side quests in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

  • @Vercalos
    @Vercalos Před 5 lety +709

    I have to say my favorite quest in the Elder Scrolls series is the one where you basically play the villain in a slasher flick. it's a Dark Brotherhood quest in Oblivion, where you're sent to a house with like 4-5 strangers to murder them to death(Dark Brotherhood, what do you expect?), with an added bonus for doing so without being detected. I remember when I played it, I managed to convince one of the two remaining characters that the other remaining character was the killer, and they took them out. It's rather appropriately called "Whodunit?"

      Yea this one is absolutely one of the bests. Like someone said, too bad there is no sequel to it in Skyrim but if some people don't know, you can kill the cousin's emperor at her weeding in solitude (dark brotherood quest) by pushing some kind of statue / stone ornament on her head. Gives a nice Oblivion vibe, always reminds me of that other dark brotherhood quest where you gotta kill a guy in Bruma and make it look like an accident by dropping a stag head trophy on him. :)

    @skylar9046 Před 5 lety +204

    The reason why Blood on the Ice gets bugged is that Tova Shatter-Shield is tied to the quest. So if you kill her (or Nilsine, since she'll kill herself if you do that), it becomes impossible to complete.
    Also, the "right" way to complete the quest is to go straight to Wunferth the Unliving. Then he won't get arrested incorrectly.

    • @mateus994
      @mateus994 Před 2 lety +17

      Nah, going to the steward makes the quest so much better, because you are led to believe that the quest is over, only to later discover that it is not and that you arrested the wrong guy. Sadly, I missed this part on my first playthrough, because by the time I did this quest I was a level 80 mage with all the top spells and enchanted gear, and I was already arch mage and had killed Harkon, Alduin and Miraak, so I figured I didn't have to be afraid of some court wizard, necromancer or not. So the quest was rather underwhelming for me without the plot twist.

      I messed something up on the hagraven one. I talked to the first one but didn’t free her initially, and proceeded to clear the cave and killed Petra. When I went back and freed her, she sort of rushed through the caves, saying some lines and sort of pausing to observe the dead enemies, only to arrive in the area with the dead Petra and be left standing there. Each time I return, Petra is lying dead with an arrow on her saying to kill her so I guess this mission ended up being a scrap 😂😢

For one you can get the stones really quickly by interacting with one several times quickly, thus getting 2 or 3 stones from one location. And the part where you get the crown is actually fun imo because you go through the ruin finding out what happened to caravan and seeing the ghost. Its a fun little mystery in its own right

    That one quest you get drunk and wake up in Dibella Temple is nice too.
