There's also threads of an anti-Thieves Guild quest/questline with Mjoll in Riften, there's the setup to quests that don't exist in Roriksted and an Orc stronghold, and the Forsworn quest where you ally with the king feels like it should lead somewhere as you otherwise go back to killing them. Then there was meant to be a siege for each city (or maybe major city) in the Civil War. That might have been cut for other reasons, but it's a shame these didn't make it into the game, the Boethiah, Mephala and anti-Thieves Guild quests seemed like really interesting ideas.

@Burhan Actually, there is ONE Daedric Prince who would touch Maven Black-Briar and that's Mephala, by way of the Dark Brotherhood. In fact, the book "Fire And Darkness: The Brotherhoods Of Death" credits The Night Mother as being Mephala: "The Night Mother, my dear friend, is Mephala. The Dark Brotherhood of the west, unfettered by the orders of the Tribunal, continue to worship Mephala. They may not call her by her name, but the daedra of murder, sex, and secrets is their leader still. And they did not, and still do not, to this day, forgive their brethren for casting her aside.” If someone performed the Black Sacrament and called for Maven's death, The Night Mother would honour the contract.

[@samuelplyler1511]

I think they cut it as it breaks the civil war quest kind of. Way to many lines of dialog to change if someone other then Elisif is the Jarl of Solitude. Look at all the trouble it took to change quests and dialog just for having Whiterun's Jarl kicked out of Whiterun. Furthermore there are many more quests linked to Elisif that would not work well if she were dead, many more than involve most other NPC's in the game outside of the main questline to kill a sky lizard, and it would have taken years to program all the extra stuff to swap all that over for other NPC's to handle.

[@adamb89]

She's actually kind of annoying if you think about it. She's "Elisif the Fair" as in "fair maiden", a reference to beauty as opposed to a sense of moral fairness/justice. Torygg married her because she was hot, not because she had any real sense of what being a queen entails. This is made evident by her own decisions after assuming the throne following Torygg's death. Such as suggesting sending an entire regiment to Dragon Bridge to investigate the vague complaints of wolfskull cave. Or of having a grand parade through the streets of Solitude while there's a civil war going on and her own people are dying. She's not a bad person, she just makes bad leadership decisions. Fortunately Falk is able to talk her down some of the time. But that one quest when she sends you to place a war horn at a shrine of Talos. Imagine if word got out that the High Queen of Skyrim did that--the Thalmor would have a field day! I don't truly dislike her though. She's just a stereotypical pretty, out-of-touch, rich girl who married her way to the top, has basically no clue what she's doing, and relies entirely on others. Not like Siddgeir of Falkreath who is openly condescending, lazy, corrupt, and knowingly abuses his position. Elisif just doesn't know any better.

[@joelpierce1453]

@@adamb89 See, I kind of look at her handling of the position of Jarl as a positive. She wasn't meant to rule, Torygg was. She never expected to rule, but now that she does, she's doing the best she can, and she does what a wise leader does and listens to counsel. She doesn't assume she knows best, so she is willing to listen to her advisors. Her initial reaction to the dragon bridge issue is definitely too hasty, but when Falk advises otherwise, she tempers her response. She also seems to get along with Tullius and probably gets advice from him too. Tullius follows the same principle by keeping Legate Rikke as his right hand to help him understand Nord culture. He uses that to inform his decisions, showing strong leadership from him, meaning Elisif is wise to consult with him as well.

Perhaps the most frustrating thing about Skyrim atm, is that it has never been updated to allow more player options and outcomes like Fallout has. The Dragonborn should have more options besides a "civil war" in which you're only part of the battle against 2 major holds out of 4 possible ones. And also have the option to end the game when certain questlines are completed for some cinematic cutscenes, along with alternatives to those questlines since there's been things sprinkled out implicating potential destruction of Thieves' Guild, curing all the companions of lycanthropy (Farkas and Vilkas can be cured if you got extra heads, Aela never considers the option just like Valerica.), and even a war against the Thalmor, which in all honesty should be its own DLC, since you see them in nearly every new addition to the game as a sort of cameo. I'd honestly like to see all the cut content come back as real content. So many opportunities left out...

The reason this quest might have been removed is how it could fit into the story. I mean you gain access to Boethiah's quest at a high level so just leveling would get you this quest. But maybe there were plans to make Boethiah's quest become available after the war quest or maybe completing the Potema quest fully.

[@C4lmaria]

you get nothing? I mean you've already got the ebony mail from the vanilla quest, it feels that this one should yield a passive buff

[@andrewmorrison7074]

It was cut content reactivated with a mod. Likely would've been more stuff, or potentially would've got the armor after killing her instead if they did not cut it? Who knows. Lol

[@nathanbentley1939]

I heard a rumor once that this part of the quest was originally conceived as a side quest for the Dark Brotherhood, and supposedly, Erikur was the one who wanted her dead. That may explain the lack of further reward, and the hints that Erikur had a hand to play despite being uninvolved. (Incidentally, it would've been clever foreshadowing for Motierre's theorized motive of wanting the Emporer dead so that he could take his place)

This really adds more fuel to my theory that either Boethia or Mephala pulled strings to get Ulfric to kill Torygg either knowing or not. It seems that Boethia has something against Solitude so it may have been her. May she whispered into Ulfrics ear at high hrothgar and he assumed it to Kynareth or Talos?

Worst part of Skyrim is, wanting to do everything, try every quest but also not wanting to be a dick at the same time. You miss so much things if you try to be nice. But if you want to see something, there is no roleplay. What a pain :D

Stormcloak win feels like the natural canon ending. Empire win is literally the fan service for the nostalgic crowd from the previous games. Not saying one is morally or consequentially better just assuming which ending is more lore friendly and realistic progression towards the next game.

[@cyber1ifeconnor]

no if you read anything in skyrim youd know imperials are not only cannon but the best ending possiable, Ulfric was captured by the AD and was let go on purpose to start a war, its sven documentes that the entire war is funded by the AD and even general tullius knoes this when you try and kill him he says "this is what they want" and hes right, Ulfrics a puppet and so are you.

The cause itself is righteous but after awhile you learn siding with the storm cloaks is what the dominion wants, if they were smart they would work with the empire and keep their worship of talos private

[@Projectarchan]

@@marcomongke3116 What kind of nonsense logic is that? Someone being a nord doesn't automatically mean they'd be sympathetic to Ulfric's cause. Legate Rikke is a nord. Legate Hrollod is a nord. Legate Skulnar is a nord. Hadvar is a nord. There are many imperial soldiers who are nords, so your flimsy argument there falls flat on it's face. Moreover, there is no confirmed canon race for the Dragonborn. Maybe we'll see in Elder Scrolls 6, but for now? Nada. Using a gameplay default to support your argument is just plain foolish, not just flimsy. Tl;dr: Learn how to make better arguments.

4:55 What is Elisif saying here, when there's supposed to be a sound effect of the door unlocking? I swear I had Ulfric say that to me once, during the Helgen sequence. I got off the cart and for some reason none of the NPCs would move or say their lines, then Ulfric said that "stop" line or whatever and my game crashed.

[@MythicMoonArt]

Honestly... would have enjoyed if the quest had an "optional" kill choice as well. This is the prince of betrayal, and what is not the purest loyalty but killing a different, high in importance character in an act of both betrayal and following orders. ./COUGH maven, delphine, any bloody head of something But that would require Boethiah have a similar stance to Hircine when you flip the hunt.

It would make more sense if the armor was cursed or something until you kill elisif otherwise what’s stopping you from just taking the armor and not killing her?

[@3Hg594]

The way Skyrim quests and dialogues are written hint that Dragonborn would become a Voldemort like character seeking power and obeying daedric princes. Most questlines such as thieves guild and the dragonborn dlc along with house of horrors and boethiah's sacrifice have absolutely no way of turning things around if you don't want to be their b*tches in the vanilla version of the game (and not to forget paarthurnax tragedy)

[@TheRealRJ2]

I guess you can say, that simply isn’t “fair”

[@Polomance862]

A lot of these cut quests are interesting. You were allowed at one point to kill several Jarls for quests. Balgruuf was going to die at the end of Mephala's Ebony Blade quest, Elisif was going to be killed for the Ebony Mail. It's also implied that the civil war would've ended with killing the jarls too. Though I cannot prove that was the intended effect, all I know that you were at some point siege all the major cities.

You know, I'm honestly going to say I'm happy this quest is absent, especially since the bit you could alternatively marryvElisif is, too. There is a whole quest lone to assassinate the Emperor. This mission could have seen Jarl Elisif killed. Another cut quest did the same for Balgruuf; both Imperial supporters. As one of I'm guessing six Imperial path supporters among the fanbase, I really wonder why the distribution was so lopsided? There were definitely Imperial factioners I wanted to kill; Maven and Erukir would have been nice, but I don't get to do the same to the obvious Stormcloak simps of the game, apart from Ulfrick, and that's too bad.
