While there are other studios that do that concept a bit better than Bethesda, the various ways you can approach this scenario effectively remind us that they are some of the masters of this genre. However, a party at the ambassador’s home may just offer the perfect opportunity to find the information you need.Īs I’ve mentioned before elsewhere, this is really one of the best testaments to the idea of “problem-solving through role-playing” that we’ve ever seen in an Elder Scrolls game.
Unfortunately, his lofty position and fortress-like home make it nearly impossible to get close enough to discover the truth. The Thalmor ambassador has been accused of being involved with the dragon attacks that have rocked Skryim. The depth of this quest and the many ways it allows you to fail help separate it from other Skyrim quests that may be just a touch too structured. There is no shortage of “murder mystery” quests in the Elder Scrolls series, so it’s quite telling that Blood on this Ice has to be considered one of the best. Following the discovery of the killer’s latest victim, they beg you to please discover their identity and wake them up from this nightmare scenario.

The town of Windhelm has lived in terror of a mysterious serial killer who has haunted their happy home for far too long. Waking Nightmare isn’t necessarily the most complicated quest, but the quality of the quest’s writing is a testament to the team’s commitment to this somewhat strange idea as well as their ability to add real emotional weight to such an otherworldly concept. Do so, and you’ll soon discover that the mysterious master is none other than the trickster prince known as Sheogorath. Desperate for a sign of his presence, he asks you to investigate his last known location and find out just where his beloved master is.
The Mind Of MadnessĪn apparent vagrant named Dervenin worries that his master has gone on “vacation” and may never return. It’s possible that even veteran players haven’t found this quest yet, but those who know it will likely agree that the payoff is more than worth the effort. This is a fantastic example of a kind of “organic” Skyrim quest that you have to find and solve with relatively few obvious hints of what to do next. Incredibly, the answers to those questions are even more bizarre than the relic itself. The call of this mysterious item prompts the Dragonborn to find out just what this thing is and what it was designed for. Forgotten Namesĭeep below the College of Winterhold rests a gauntlet of unknown origins and purpose. It’s just a brilliant slice of horror that still feels true to everything that makes these games great. Many fans call this the scariest quest in Skyrim, but I’ll go one step further by suggesting this might be the scariest quest in Elder Scrolls history. In fact, a quick trip into the lighthouse itself reveals that there is something truly strange happening here. The occupants of Frostflow Lighthouse have been murdered, and the circumstances of the event suggest that this is so much more than one of the many (often bandit-lead) random acts of violence that plague this land. Before the journey’s end, you will have even reached into the afterlife to help a romance shattered by war become whole again. The Book of Loveĭinya Balu, a priestess of the Temple of Mara, wants you to spread the grace of the Divine by helping various people across Skryim who are looking for love or are experiencing relationship troubles. However, I think that there are a few quests in Skyrim that everyone has to experience regardless of their preferences and playstyle or how many times they’ve played this beloved RPG. We could talk about the 50 best quests in Skyrim and maybe not touch upon someone’s favorite. While I stand by that potentially controversial statement, I’ll also say that the sheer number of quests available in Skyrim and the diversity of those quests means that everyone has their favorite quest that they consider to be the absolute best. In a previous look at the best quests in Elder Scrolls history, I mentioned that Skyrim‘s quests aren’t quite as good as those in Oblivion.
Well, a big part of the reason why it’s so easy to return to Skyrim time and time again is the game’s quests are so good. As much as we all like to joke about Skyrim‘s various re-releases, the fact of the matter is that there are only a few video games ever made that could be released that many times and still tempt you to play them again.
