Skyrim: 5 Things You Probably Didn't Know You Could Do - The Elder Scrolls 5: Secrets (Part 17)

Skyrim is massive game with no shortage of activities for the Dragonborn to pursue and take up, but seven years later many players may finally be beginning to question if they’ve explored all The Elder Scrolls 5 offers. Alas, we’re confident that’s still not yet the case for Skyrim. So today we’ll be taking a look at five more things you probably didn’t know you could do in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

Imagine being saved from an execution only to be teleported to a dark room and beat to death by a naked Elf.

[KnfeShift]

"you can make a mark on the world without treachery or murder."
Says the one who leads a bandit group.

[CattusVert]

is it just me that gets the golden claw before listening to the argument and they are like "oh we lost a relic golden claw" and your like "Oh.... you mean this one" and they're like wtf lol

I think The champion of Boethiah was supposed to talk to you before you fight him but Bethesda forgot to make him neutral.

[Galimeer]

Damn. I had no idea the Champion of Boethiah was actually a rather chill guy

[mackenziesigmon]

*is the prince of betrayal*
Champion: *betrays her*
Boethiah: *insert surprised pikachu meme here*

[zachh]

It would've been great if there was a "I just want your armor" dialogue option for the ebony wearing guy.

[agshauydjagdhadgs]

The companions protect you from the guards. Once I accidentally transformed into a werewolf and then I went into Jorvasskr and let it run out. Aela and Farkas killed the guards after me and I lived without a bounty.

[cmeek]

when you escape execution but get teleported to another dimension and get killed by a bosmer clone :(

[Wecoc]

If you kill Camilla AFTER giving the Golden Claw he doesn't get angry at all.
Indeed it was something like:
Me: *kills Camilla right in front of him*
Him: "You and me... we are the only people around who aren't complete fools"

[Neanderthal]

One thing we do in RPGs that we wouldn't do in real life:
- Find a dead body, take his clothes off and wear it.

My personal favorite "thing you might not know" in Skyrim is unlimited dragon arrows. Join the thieves guild and steal all of the arrows from the archers. Replace them with one dragon arrow. Whenever they go to the shooting range, they will shoot off free arrows of whatever they are carrying. I usually build dragon arrows only one time ever and stock up this way.

[shuno]

You can return "The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller" back to Ustengrav which will give the player a free dragon soul :)

[SHMaster]

"To the uninitiated"

Can we acknowledge how Nate is basically now a cult, with "Skyrim is a big game" and "murdered to death" as its demonic chants?

[odinswrath]

Did you know the flame atronach wont cross a river unless spawned on top of it.

[Arbbymer]

7:40 You're not fooling anyone in that disguise Nick Valentine

[ShadowFenix]

If you somehow scare Serana (Like fear spells) she will cast invisibility on herself

[afinoxi]

You can read the names written on the gravestones in Falkreath Cemetery, some of them are very sad, creepy, or hilarious.

My wife was actually able to save the guy in Solitude, and the result was amazing!

Because her sneak and archery was really high on one of her Xbox play through she was able to stealth kill the guards and the headsman without the guy being hit. After that we are guessing the game had a bug, and the guy just spent the rest of her game standing on stage looking confused and occasionally sharpening a sword on the grinding stone.

We had the best time making our own head cannon about how the town was just ignoring him like Mikasa in Another

*Edit*
Some of y’all still commenting on this 3 years after I posted this…. “Couldn’t happen he is scripted to die” Do any of you even know what fucking game your talking about? Skyrim, the single buggiest game Bethesda ever put out.. and we aren’t talking “Anniversary Edition” or shit, I am talking about one of my wife’s first play through, back in 2011, where we had no internet connection, no DLC, no patches, just straight from Game Stop Skyrim. lol This game was so fucking broken when it came out I went through 4 different characters before I could complete the main story just because of the game breaking bugs each one encountered… Centurion Steam Glitch, stuck as a Werewolf glitch, Always wanted in Markarth…. Believe me or don’t, just stop wasting my fucking time with this “Couldn’t happen” shit. I was there I saw it, it was a huge joke for me and my wife for a long time.. Move the hell on lol.

*Edit #2*
Now I am being told the Xbox wasn’t around in 2011…. Y’all are wild.
