10 Things You Probably Didn't Know You Could Do In Skyrim

Calling Skyrim a large game would be an understatement, it's massive! Not only in scale but more importantly in the choices that are given to us. But being as large of a game as Skyrim is, it can sometimes be a double-edged sword. Although there are so many things that you CAN do, only a fraction of them are well-known!

So in today’s video I hope to fix that by showing you 10 things that you probably didn't know you could do in Skyrim!

this is one of the first "things you may not know about skyrim" videos that i actually didn't know most of the things! good job!

7:35 "Things you can do in Skyrim but not in real life... talk to women."
I hate what he's saying, but I have to admit, he's damn right.

[Stalovman]

I am so glad you are making Skyrim content. And even more glad that people are watching it. I hope this community never dies

In addition to the mudcrab, you can actually get a pet Skeever if your home has a basement. When you trigger the random infestation in the basement, one of the Skeevers is not hostile; if you let it live, it will stay in the basement as a friendly pet (and also prevents that event from triggering again).

You can start a murder investigation in Skyrim. If a particularly large amount of NPCs are interacting with the body sometimes a guard will step up and say "all right everyone, step back. Let the law handle this."

They'll even approach you and question you, which can even lead to you being arrested depending on how you handle it.

To the opposite of the courage spell, you can use pacify on enemies and potentially have unique dialouge with them because they would usually be hostile around you!

There's a Thalmor disguise/outfit outside of the first dungeon West against the cliff beside a shrine of Talos.

[scottbogart]

I've killed Gissur in every single one of my playthroughs since 2011 and the Thalmor are always in the ratway regardless. I don't think that one's true, cause you find a dossier about Esbern that states they know he is in Riften already, just not the ratway specifically.

[nezurrak]

"drop a valuable item on the ground, and watch as people begin to beat the ever living shit out of each other" had me cackling, and astonished at the same time.

[zstreet]

#7 is wrong. If you kill Gissur (I always have and never knew he would show up later actually, which is arguably the lesser known option). He will be replaced by a female khajiit who will attack you when you leave the ratways for the first time after joining the thieves guild and learning the location of Esbern. And later you will still be assaulted by a Thalmor party.

[vulcanitu]

The Gissur one seems to be false, in my recent playthrough I killed him in the embassy, the Thalmor showed up in the ratways nonetheless

[versagokronos]

So on diplomatic immunity I believe if you have a high illusion you can actually disguise as an agent while being a Bosmer or Khajit since they are affiliated with the dominion

[anonymuswere]

it's rare when I run into a tip I haven't discoverred already. and using Courage on Critters to keep them from running off so you can hunt is a new one.
here's a tip for YOU; you can pick up a full Thalmor set right away for both the embassy job, AND getting on their good side. head left after exiting the Helgen escape cave. once you get back to the main road. not only will you run into the bandit camp with both a treasure map AND a skill book that someone is looking for a copy of, just past it you'll see a log ramp that leads up to a Talos station that has a dead thalmor waiting to be plundered for both costume and blood to get the elder scroll later AND you can grab a blessing of Talos while you're at it. one of the victims also has the Hooded Monk Robes that are probably impossible to get.

[laurabenevides]

This is a very good list. I had no idea we could do most of the things you said. Great video!

[hugoboncar]

I guarantee the Soul Gem trick is a bug and not an intended mechanic. It works with every weapon holding any "charge". If you drop Dusk/Dawn Blade, the kill counter is reset too, and that's definitely a bug.

Also : I'm always killing the Nord talking to the Thalmor, I didn't even know he could live. But even if I kill him there are always Thalmors in the Ratway waiting for me when I go see Esbern

Also n°2 : Pets of Skyrim lets you get a little quest from Calcemo allowing you to get a little mudcrab pet in Dwemer armour

[KCfrosty]

The spiders are pretty common knowledge, you walk right past the spider crafter on the way out of the dungeon. What a lotta people miss is that you can use mind control spiders to get unobtainable items like tsun's armor, neloth's robes and shoes, elisif's fine rainment, the red hooded robes from the face sculptor, torygg's clothes, unhooded archmage robe from the mage in sovngarde, nazir's clothes, and a couple unique jarl clothes.

[Original-Alastor]

I knew about the map one, spider, and the riots, the others i didn’t. Good job!

[oofboss]

7:10 good tip but if you're doing a stealth build you can instead pickpocket the gold after each training. just make sure you quick save before each pickpocket. This is a lot better because leveling a skill 5 times wont level you up, but 10 times it does. so you can just do that for a around 10-15min and get pickpocket 100 and a high level on whatever you're training

[ThomasCapozzi]

You’re my favorite Skyrim YouTuber lmao “and if you lost all self respect…” 😂

[krystianszewczyk]

Tho it is a nice mechanism, it would be better if the soul gem could hold multiple lesser (to how large the soul gem, souls can hold) to be fully filled, for example lets sat that you have an big soul gem, then this soul gem could hold 4 lesser souls, and the grand woul gem can hold 9 lesser souls and so on. How do you like that idea?
