Don’t miss these incredible locations while on your travels
1: Embershard Mine
Just south of Riverwood, this mine is a great source of iron ore: essential for raising your smithing. Watch out for bandits.
2: The Serpent Stone
Perched on a treacherous glacier, adopting the sign of the Serpent gives you a poison attack you can use once a day.
3: Half-Moon Hill
If you want to become a vampire, there are two living here in this secluded mill. Attack and you mat catch the disease.
As The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 125GB, original designer Bruce Nesmith recalls fitting Skyrim into a tiny file size.
Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.
Big Bethesda Nintendo Switch eShop sale now live with lowest prices ever for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom (2016), and more.
Even thought it's not a secret, the dwarven cave in the main quest is my favorite environment in all of skyrim, with its epic glowing mushrooms and creatures.
These can't be particularly 'secret', as I've already found 5 of 6 of them. Especially Embershard Mine, it's right next to Riverwood.
Is the Steed Stone pretty secret? I just found it and it's amazing: +100 to carrying weight and no movement penalty from armor
Also, keeping the skeleton key from the Thieves Guild Quest is pretty "secret (maybe not a location...)," in that a lot of people continue to finish the storyline, not realizing they have an unbreakable lockpick in their hands.
Question: Are there any secret locations that are only accessible from underwater?
Embershard Mine? Ha! Gloombound Mine is waaaaaay more worth mentioning. These are definitely not the best "secret" locations in Skyrim.. Maybe for a completely new player coming straight out of Helgan for the first time, but that's it.
Yeah these places aren't at all secret. And mining just to level smithing? Why do that when it's 100 times easier to buy iron ingots/ore from the blacksmiths and craft iron daggers like crazy.
Also a nice secret place I'm sure other ppl have found is a locked cabin with a bookshelf I think? It opens into a cavern for you to explore with a bunch of traps and what not
