UESP’S LIST OF FIVE BEST SKYRIM QUESTS: 2018 EDITION

So apparently, if information is not provided in list format, people will not read it anymore. Instead of providing some factoid about the nature of the Aurbis today or something, we’re going to do “FIVE BEST SKYRIM QUESTS” to make it so social media giants continue to make our content visible to you all.

5.
A Chance Arrangement:
Shortly after walking into Riften, a roguish fellow named Brynjolf will accuse you of being a thief, and chances are he’s right because we are all terrible people who only hurt those around us. Brynjolf will quickly offer you a job, framing an innocent Dunmer of being a criminal like yourselves so the corrupt guards will arrest him. You naturally agree to do so, and let the poor fellow wallow in prison, an innocent person locked up for your benefit.

QUEST REWARD: You get to send someone to jail for a crime they didn’t commit.

4.

Mourning Never Comes: There is a serial killer loose on the streets of Windhelm, and for once, it’s not you. The killer has recently taken the life of one Friga Shatter-Shield, which sent the whole family into a dark spiral. A close friend of the family, Muiri, fell into the arms of a bandits to cope with the loss, who then exploited the relationship to rob the Shatter-Shields blind. The Shatter-Shields in response turned their backs on Muiri, who fled across the province in shame. Muiri now seeks revenge, and will pay you to kill her ex-lover, and the Shatter-Shield family’s surviving daughter, Nilsine. You being a greedy killer will naturally also choose to murder Nilsine. And as a bonus, Tova Shatter-Shield, the mother of the two now dead Shatter-Shield sisters, will kill herself out of grief. Win win.

QUEST REWARD: You destroyed a family.

3.

Boethiah’s Calling: Deep in the backwoods of Skyrim, you will find a small group of people around an altar. Being a traveling murderer, you quickly set to killing everyone in the encampment, with them not being able to defend themselves for long against you. After slaying the last of them, surprisingly, one of the corpses will rise from the dead, and speak to you. The corpse will claim to be the spirit of Boethiah, and ask you to sacrifice someone who trusts you at their altar. You then send someone who trusted you enough to approach the evil looking obelisk on your instructions to the altar, and then kill them. Boethiah will then offer you a chance to go get some armor from a bandit as a prize, but you’ll probably get distracted and go pick flowers instead.

QUEST REWARD: You murdered a small camp of people, and someone who personally trusted you, the idiot.

2. Iron Sword: You find an iron sword, and decide to keep it.

QUEST REWARD: Iron Sword.

1.
The Whispering Door: There’s an evil door that tells you to murder your friends and family, and you do it, because OF COURSE YOU WOULD.

QUEST REWARD: You killed a random swath of the people who considered you their friend or their family.
