5 Things to do in Skyrim you don't know of

Things to do in Skyrim you may have never heard of

Skyrim is one of the most popular fantasy video games of all time, which owes something to the fact that it's been released on so many different platforms in so many different versions that it's become a meme. Though its continued releases may draw chuckles from fans, there's no doubt that Skyrim is an incredibly influential and beloved game  

The Pale Lady

She is very pale indeed

There are different ways for players to add this quest to their journal, but none of them are incredibly apparent straightaway. There are a few bandits with whom adventurers will come in contact outside of Frostmere Cave, but once they're done squabbling, players can get in there and grab the quest. The Dragonborn can either talk to Eisa Blackthorn if she wasn't killed by the bandits, search her journal if she's dead, or pickpocket-read her journal. She'll then tell the player about an artifact in the cave that has a restless spirit attached to it. The Dragonborn can either lay the spirit to rest or banish it and steal the sword.

Kolb And The Dragon

The own adventurer book, have a look!

This book appears in a few different locations, but it's a surprise the book is in the game at all. The people who hold the copyright for Choose Your Own Adventure books actually sued the company behind Black Mirror: Bandersnatch for using the multiple-path story format, but Kolb and the Dragon seems to have slipped by unscathed.

Despite that whole debacle, there exists a book in Skyrim that follows the Choose Your Own Adventure format, and it's called Kolb and The Dragon. While it's not very long, there are branching paths, and it's not only a good way to spend 15 minutes but one of the more fun things to do in Skyrim.

Frostflow

The Frostflow lighthouse: Enter the main room to trigger the quest

In the remote Frostflow Lighthouse is a quest that most people probably miss. It's obtained by entering the central room of the lighthouse. Once players have received the quest, they'll be told that there was a mysterious murder that took place in the location of everyone who resided there.

It's up to the Dragonborn to figure out who or what did it, mostly by searching through journals and other documentation that'll lead the player into a mysterious tunnel that opens up in the basement of the lighthouse. Although the quest seems to be pretty straightforward, that doesn't mean it's easy. The abandoned lighthouse is full of Falmer and Chaurus, making it wise to stock up before entering.

The only Argonian Follower

Look at my man!

Sadly for all of the Argonian enthusiast fans of Skyrim, people frequently miss a valuable follower named Darkeethus. Darkeethus is a miner who lives in Darkwater where several incredibly rude Falmer hold him captive. Unfortunately for Darkeethus, no one really talks about him enough for the Dragonborn to realize that he even exists. If the Dragonborn does catch wind of him, they'll travel over to Darkwater, kill all of the Falmer, and free him from his slavery. He's the only possible Argonian follower in the entire game, and once he's rescued the Dragonborn also has the ability to marry him. If they do, he'll open up a shop.

Rise In The East

Piracy in Skyrim? ... well sort of

Pirates? In Skyrim? Absolutely. "Rise in the East" is a quest that takes place along the coast in Windhelm, Dawnstar, and Japhet's Folly. The East Empire Company is doing its best to retain an establishment of their company in the areas mentioned, but unfortunately, they've constantly been plagued by the fact that a group of pirates known as the Blood Horkers has been attacking all of their shipments and expropriating their supplies. This quest is slightly out of the way, but one of the most fun things about it is that after the player has stolen journals, killed the mage leader of the Blood Horkers, and generally made sure everything is squared away, they might encounter some other Blood Horkers who'll do their best to get their revenge.
