Hidden quests. Secret locations of Skyrim

I found some Easter eggs myself and I want to tell you about them!

Yes, I found some 7 Easter eggs - but I think they are cool! It's nice when you find something that some people can't find even for hours?) Let's get started!

1. M "Ike Liar.

He's in Skyrim
He is in Morrowind
He's in Oblivion
Interesting: In the game you can meet a character named M "ayk the Liar, who has met us since the time of Morrowind. (he is immortal ...).
It can be found in a completely random place. From "Clues" and "Excuses" there were only dissatisfied reviews about the new combat system and a philosophical discussion about Winterhold.

At the next meeting, he can tell about the snow in Skyrim. But it's still interesting to listen to the old Khajiit:
How do you know that there is a city of Winterhold? M "Ike did not see him with his own eyes, did you?
Too much magic is dangerous. M "Ike somehow sent two spells at the same time and burned his sweet roll.

What does it mean to combine magic? Magic plus magic is still magic.

I love looking at snowflakes. What difference does it make where they disappear to?

Don't try to block with two swords, you'll only embarrass yourself.

Something strange happens to the Khajiit when they arrive in Skyrim.

M "Ike is a realist! Why does he need some kind of mysticism?

This is where the interesting remarks end, and then you will only hear:

M'aiq is tired. Stick with someone else.
M'aiq ended the conversation.

2. Horseman without a head.

In the game you can meet the Headless Horseman (Hobo met him in the vicinity of Whiterun (which caused a fierce badhurt in the first (Hobo: Ghost. With a hammer. Jumping straight at you. This is a reference to the novel of the same name. If you follow him, then you will reach to the cemetery where ... you will find the treasure
Added: The Headless Horseman, which appears during the passage of the mission "Missing in Action".

3. Book-game.

Remember in Fallout 3 there was an experimental RPG on the computer (in the location of the comic book publisher ... Uh). There is a printed likeness here ... The book is called "Kolb and the Dragon", look in the shops of your city;) (More precisely, in Jorrvaskr, in Whiterun, or in Solitude ... so far so ... Well, or steal / take from the Companions. ) Well, in general it is.

4. Notch's Serrated Pixelated Pickaxe.

The developers themselves mention this game as one of their favorite games ... Strange, given the fact that Bethesda and Mojang were in court (doesn't it seem to you that the gazebo runs there for any reason given the history of Interplay) at the hearing of the case about new game Scrolls, which, according to Bethesda lawyers, could harm the previously registered The Elder Scrolls... in the end.

5. Legends of King Arthur.

There is a place called the Rebel Mound. You will find a pile of rocks with a sword stuck into it from above. This is a reference to the legend of the Sword in the Stone.

You can find a pond with a skeleton hand holding a sword. This is a reference to the legend of the Lady of the Lake.

6. Game of Thrones.

Skyrim is one of latest games The Elder Scrolls series. mesmerizing scenery open world, exciting plot. A huge number of artifacts, monsters and characters amazes the minds of fans of this series.

One of the Thieves Guild quests "Look under every stone". To complete this task, the player must complete four points.

The remaining six stones can be found in Ansilvund, in the Black Prince's estate, on a ship near the Solitude lighthouse, in the Stone Brook cave, in Fellglow's fortress and in Rannveig's Abode.

When the entire set is completed, the player can safely return to Vex. She will send a hero to restore Barenziah's crown to a place infested with flamers. After the player delivers the artifact to the Vex, they will receive a permanent skill "Thieves' Luck", which will have a positive effect on the search precious stones with high cost.

After receiving the reward, the Skyrim quest “Take an unusual stone to the appraiser” will be completed.

According to the original idea, the city of Windhelm was supposed to be a fighting arena - by analogy with the arena in the Imperial City from TES IV: Oblivion. Although in the future they abandoned the idea of holding gladiator fights, some of the developments still remained in the game. You can look at the arena by entering the command in the console coc WindhelmPitEntrance.

The first interviews mentioned the difficult economic system, as well as the ability to burn mills. So, when the mill was destroyed, flour prices in this region should have jumped. According to Todd Howard(Todd Howard), closer to the release of the game, the system was abandoned, since none of the players would have paid attention to such trifles anyway.
