Tiny Details In Skyrim You Probably Missed

Skyrim is a massive game chock-full of mysterious secrets and hidden details. The game is so big that even 11 years after its release date players are still discovering new things about it every day. So in today’s video I’m gonna take 10 minutes of your time to show you a bunch of hidden details you may have missed while playing Skyrim.

I once married Ysolda and invested in her business she gets for becoming your spouse, and she became an inn keeper. It was kinda weird though because she kept trying to rent rooms to me in our own house.

[@paulfitzpatrick6566]

@@geth--head6380it’s also true. Single man me for 21 years. Love to downtime by sinking serious hours into quality RPG’s such as Skyrim & Mass Effect, Fallout 3 & 4. The uniqueness of Skyrim is that you can buy your own houses & decorate them to your liking, with your own choice of woman, which is not always possible IRL. This is one reason why Skyrim is so immersive. I started my Game Journey with NFSMW 2005, where I sunk whole weekends into. Until the sun arose. That was 18 years ago. Since then we’ve had great RPG’s like TES, Far Cry & Fallout. And many others. AC Odyssey which I highly recommend, & AC Origins same. Plus both these AC games are rich in historical fact & setting. You can’t beat decent games bro 😎. Women don’t understand it. My 29yr old highly musically talented daughter doesn’t get it 😆. But ya can’t concern yourself with that. Happy Gaming bro, you’ll be much better off in quality of life.

But I bet you didn't know that you can actually FIND Vilod in Helgen if you go through it fast enough. He's one of the townspeople, and if he manages to survive, you can go back to Helgen immediately and greet him. (Although he doesn't really say anything.)

[@michaeltelson9798]

In the Markarth quest “House of Horrors” you have to rescue Logrolf the Willful for the sacrifice to Molog Bal. Being a priest of Boethia he was already planning a long term betrayal and sacrifice to his Daedra. In Dragonbridge you meet one Azzada Lylvieve and his family. Azzada tells you of being rescued from the streets of Markarth by a Logrolf the Bent, an old soldier that he sends food to. His wife mentions in Logrolf’s last letter that he claims that his house maybe haunted. Bent and Willful are not far off as nicknames go. And having a priest of Boethia save you would be suspicious. Disguised as an old soldier would help start a grand sacrifice of betrayal that his Daedra would love

For the Nightingale thief fact, they will have similar dialogue if you're wearing Guildmaster armor, saying they're giving you "your cut" and calling you Boss. If you fill these positions but aren't wearing the armor, you can tell the thief who you are, he'll apologize for the mistake, and then leave.

There is two forks in the game, the 2nd is on the path up to the throat of the world, when you get to a small rope bridge. There is a small cliff below with a fork and a knife or a spoon idk, you must use unrelenting force on it before it is able too be picked up.

On exiting the dungeon you will see a tall statue. I've walked past that statue over a dozen times. Last time I noticed...there are emeralds in the statues eye sockets, and you can knock them out with a bow and pick them up as loot.

The same people who worked on sneak in Skyrim, are the same people who did the stealth in the thief games. The water arrow, and fire arrow where mechanics in the thief games that could extinguish or light fire based light sources. my guess is they didn't implement it so it wouldn't be too similar.

PSA: do not use Elemental Fury + dual wield pickaxes to mine ore like it's showcased in this video. Doing that usually glitches the ore vein and makes it so the ore doesn't respawn afterwards. Only use that when mining cobblestone or clay for building, as the sources for those are unlimited.

[@okebel3280]

In the book The red kitchen reader, the author mentions falling in a red kitchen in an abandonned house in Cheydinhal and tasting a chunk of meat that was roasting. What the author didn't know is that this kitchen was part of the Cyrodill Dark Brotherhood sanctuary and that piece of meat roasting there was most likely human flesh for one the vampire member of the brotherhood. The guy ate human flesh and remembers it has his best meal ever.

The fact they went through the trouble of putting the tower in the game even though nobody can see it normally shows a level of care i wish bethesda games still had

[@PineappleForScale]

Yeah that and they forgot to put in a LOD model/texture for the giant statue of azura which everyone visits at some point so the goods and bads all even out. It's so weird to see that statue suddenly pop up on your screen when you are close enough instead of being visible from a distance unless you use a mod to fix it.

[@Darmani2MB]

I mean, placing the low poly tower model isn't that big of a deal compared to expanding the landmass that far. You can see parts of High Rock to the west, Hammerfell to the southwest and the entire island of Vvardenfell to the east 😅

[@Guzioo]

They obviously still have that level of care? I love how people think bugs or starfield having the illusion of being empty because of the many generated OPTIONAL planets are empty, which is just normal for a space game, while having so much handmade detailed content.

[@ThinsofWheat]

A few more: 1. Its possible that there is a second assassin on the Emperor's ship. In one of the bedrooms, there is a dead penitus occulatus or imperial soldier stuffed under one of the beds. 2. Maven Blackbriar has a black sacrament circle in her basement and a letter to the dark brotherhood/Astrid. The key can be pickpocketed from her.

[@michaeltelson9798]

There is suspicion that the Black Sacrament was done to a business partner of Maven. In the Bannered Mare at the table that Uthgerd sits at there is a letter. This letter is from Maven snd says that she is sending someone to pick up her business partner that had messed with her but they are ok now. The skeleton in the moat of Dragonsreach might be him.
