There's a spot near Winterhold with two frozen skeletons, one stuck in a bear trap, the other next to him. It's like two friends were walking, one got stuck, and the other refused to leave their side.
Just like how ralof says he was sweet on a girl from helgan who made mead with juniper berries and in the roof of the house you jump onto form the watchtower is mead with juniper.
Honestly, Frostflow lighthouse almost made me cry (to be fair, I was pulling an all nighter and I get moody when tired.) Like, this guy just wants to live out the rest of his days in a lighthouse with his family. How was he supposed to know there were falmer? The fact that you can fulfill his last wish and put his remains in the lighthouse fire makes me both sad and happy.
For me, that first story felt a lot sadder as after I found Isabelle, I remembered how I saw Ranvier die in a dragon attack... He died feeling that he was betrayed. *Then I realised I just felt sorry for a fictional couple...*
I found her body ages ago without the quest. Now I know what that letter was about I feel bad for mocking her for going in to the cave with no armor on.
For Shelly, found along the coast near winterhold, the note says "Shelly, your ship should have arrived weeks ago and I fear the worst has happened, I've set up camp on this rock as your ship should pass by here and hopefully one of these days we'll be together again. If your reading this I'm probably out hunting or bringing in some supplies. I'll be waiting here until I see your face again. Faithfully yours, Trius." Next to the note you will find a skeleton. I didn't do searching for who he was but sad thing I came across.
The saddest thing that I ever saw was in the side quest "Frostflow Abyss" where a family inhabit the lighthouse and hear strange noises. When they investigate, each one of the family members is killed by the falmer and chourus, even the children.
*Fultheim the Nord who stays at the Nightgate Inn. He possesses a Blades Sword. The inkeeper Hadring explains that Fultheim is at the inn "drinking away a lifetime of bad memories." and he will attack the Dragonborn if you approach while wearing a set of Thalmor Robes, He most likely is one of the one of the last remaining Blades like Delphine and Esbern, what sad about this is he isn't a recruitable characters and is never told about the Reforming of his Order.*
I once watched Miko get hit by a giant and get send flying, i mourned his death for a few minutes until he came running up to me as if he didnt just get launched into the atmosphere
A sad story i came across the other day was lost prospect mine near the black-briar manor. I can't remember the names, but in the mine you can find a journal detailing how two friends managed to get the rights to an old gold mine, but it turned out the mine was very poor and there appeared to be no gold left. The writer went into riften one day to get supplies and when he came back his friend was nowhere to be found. He figured his friend must've bailed in him while he was away, so after waiting for him for a while he got up and left.However behind a waterfall in the mine there is a hidden area with several veins of gold. Beside these veins lies the skeleton of a man trapped under some rocks. While the writer was away, his friend discovered the passage and was trapped under some rocks. He died starved and completely alone while his friend waited for him a few feet from his body
If you jump from the side with waterfall of bard's leap summit in small pool and survive you can find bard ghost near the pool that will say something about how he tried that and die then he will disappear and give you +1 speech
In The Reach you can find a small pond and a women dead in the pond. If you open her journal you can read that she was sneaking there to relaxand didn't care what her father said about the war or the Forsworn. She was ambushed by the Forsworn and there are multiple arrows in her corspe.
Joshua Owens yeah her journal says that her father thinks if she goes out there she'll get attacked by forsworn but she got a sadder fate then that. She was actually raped by the forsworn rather than killed
there is a mine in the rift and it has a journal where two guys decided to work it. Journal says one guy left to riften for supplies while the other stayed. When he came back his buddy was no where to be found. He stayed there for awhile waiting for him until he decided to leave for work elsewhere. If you jump up onto the rocks and onto the ledge on the waterfall in that cave however. You will see a few gold ore spots and a skeleton under some rubble. Safe to say his buddy found gold but got trapped without his partner to help him, ultimately dying alone.
What about Leifnarr ? The poor sawmill owner was abducted by bandits and mounted on a wooden wall to be used as target practice by their orc bandit chief and on top of that his wife thinks he is being unfaithful.....and the one quest where an old man is searching for his missing wife in a bandit fort, not knowing that *spoiler alert* his wife is their leader who is heartless enough to give away her wedding ring to misdirect him.....skyrim has more than enough sad stories to tell...
+Ros Lop Mistwatch Keep. A fun detail about the location, though, is that any bandits you don't kill (whether by sneaking past them or using Calm spells) become friendly after you agree to help Fjola. This makes it the only potentially friendly bandit fort which can be used for some nifty bandit RPing purposes.
Leifnarr's family kind of bugs me anymore. I don't know if it's caused by one of my mods, or just some issue with Skyrim itself because Bethesda, but every time I go to that mill now, the kid cries about his parents being dead even when his mother is right freaking there next to him. He hasn't always done that, so I don't know why he does that now.
On the mountain road between Soljund's Sinkhole and Old Hroland Inn (in the Reach), you can find a campsite with a dead dark elf and a dead breton (named Talvur and Karan respectively). There's a bear lurking in the campsite, so I assume the bear mauled them both. Near Karan's body, there's a diary about how Talvur and Karan fell in love secretly. They ran away together because Karan's high class family did not approve of her romance with a commoner. Their love story ended in brutal calamity.
Near Old Hroldan in the Reach there's the camp and remains of a couple who were killed by a bear. There's a happy ending though because their camp also contains their savings.
The quest "Love beyond deat is about a woman who grieves too much about her husband's death from war that she become quite insane. When you explore the dungeon the quest at, the woman will say that she wants to revive her husband but she can't, one day she read a story about suicide couple and decide to raise an army of undead against Skyrim. She probably was just a normal housewife minding her own business before Thalmor attacks. That actually kinda hit me in the heart...
I’m gonna be honest, I gave Meeko to one of my adopted kids as a pet in the Hearthfire DLC. I didn’t want him to risk getting killed just by being near me when a bunch of Forsworn show up or something. My house (including my housecarl and steward) would provide much better protection than I could alone.
I thought that too, but It's not like grandpa can pop down to the corner store and buy a new bed. Still maybe in the like 4+ year I've been playing he could have gotten started....
i remember finding a tent with a nord girls diary saying she ran off to finally be with her dark elf lover but you see their bodies on the ground and bear in their tent lol it was pretty sad when i first found it
If you were to install and play the 'Helgen Reborn' mod (highly recommended), when Helgen is finally rebuilt and thriving again you will have the option to guide Froki and his grandson Haming to a new much larger and safer home just outside the gates.
There is a Lighthouse between Dawnstar and Winterhold, a little to the south called Frostflow Lighthouse. There is a Story of a Family that moved there, but then had to discover there are Falmer tunnels below it the hard way
That fucking lighthouse terrified me when I first found it, reading all the letters they had wrote and thinking you could hear scuffling somewhere. I was glad when I found that and not some horror monsters
@@TheRealRedAce you'd be surprised but it was actually the skeevers that jumpscared me as a sneak main lmao. I even replayed the lighthouse 3 years later, just last night and they still did 😭😭
I think the saddest story is a khajit in a dwemer ruin beside his dead brother. pretty much he killed his brother for skooma, and since he's still taking skooma he has no idea what he's done and assumes his brothers still alive. This was by far the saddest event i witnessed.
#5. Haming's mother was Velod, the girl Raloth said that he was "sweet" to, that used to mix Juniper Berries into the mead. If you return to Helgen after the intro has been completed, climb the tower once again to reach the second story of Haming's house. You will find multiple bottles of "Juniper-Berry Mead" all around the second story. (Note: I've been corrected that Velod was a guy. However, the fact that the juniper mead was there on the second story of Hamming's house remains true. It's also possible that the relationship with him being 'sweet to a girl' may possibly be Hamming's mother having an affair AND is Velod's wife. Ouch.)
Aether Veilborne isn't it vilod and he's a man. The girl Ralof talks of is unrelated but the way he says it is confusing. But if you play with subtitles you see that Vilod is the guy bleeding out
dorgesh They sleep in the room at the top floor of the Drunken Huntsman, so he doesn't even have his own house. This is probably also why he pesters Carlotta at the market to buy his farm's crops because they are 'so fresh'
I think they focused on more dynamic events and activities in the fifth installment. So you can have those random encounters that creates a story on itself. For future, as you said, they should make the structured stories, a bit more non linear with multiple choices to go about them, while retaining the same level of random/dynamic interactivity of skyrim. And there should be an option to turn the quest markers off completely.
a main story which you don't have to follow cause skyrim is a sandbox game... Do what you want... Not like fucking witcher 3 who's got the worst story from all 3 games ;)
on Solsthiem, there's a gay couple who are dead. It's in a house half swallowed by ash, infested with ashspawn, and you go in and find a journal of a guy talking about voices and stuff, and how his partner but you go out to the shoreline right near there, there's a boat, and the body of his male partner
The dead captive woman in the pond in The Reach. There's also a couple that eloped and were killed by wolves or a saber-cat. The Alchemists. And there is the two skeletons in Winterhold with thebear trap. Plus, the hunter in that one place west of Whiterun city. And that Trollsbane guy.
Genuine Peach - I got the impression that those letters were pretty old since the imperials who held the fort had gotten killed about... 200 years ago? I apologize I'm uncertain about the exact timestamp. I presume the woman referred to in the letter is likely long since dead if we are to assume she too was an imperial. It bums me out every time I think about it.
I though it was referring to Selina from Oblivion (the one that runs "black water gang" or something), since the guy refers to oblivion gates as something "commonly known" and an easy thing to visualise. That would've been fun, since Selina didn't get letters, but heard about the situation with the fort, though her husband was dead and went 180 with her life.
I know about that very well, once I was playing Darksiders, was almost finished with the game, just had to find these blade pieces, the game froze when I was about to find the last 2 pieces so I turned it off and then I turned it back on, when I got to the menu it said the save was corrupted, I was so pissed because I spent hours trying to solve those puzzles and beat those bosses, now I'll have to do it all over again!
In Solstheim with the DragonBorn DLC if you follow the river north from Tel Mithryn you'll eventually reach a wooden gate that's locked. You can access the area behind it if you descend from the rocks above near where the dragon is. There's an Argonian prospector dead from Skooma suicide with lots of gold ore and a chest with additional treasures. Next to his body is a letter from his lady love (Letter to Usha) saying they can make it work, that she's convinced her father to look past his lack of wealth and that eventually the rest of her family will accept him, as well, begging him to come home and that she'll be waiting. That one really got me. :(
Narfi. He's in ivarstead. He constantly complains about how his sister won't return from getting ingredients from the island. Go to the nearby island and you won't find her. You can find her corpse in the river, or at least her skeleton. I also suggest talking to the inn keeper there. And also someone wanted him killed since he is actually a target in the dark brotherhood quest line.
The tragic story I thought was amazing when I stumbled on it while wandering. You find a burnt building and corpse, and nearby you find a Summon Flame Atronach scroll. Someone tried it and got burned up for their trouble.
What about lunds cabin? Outside of the cabin is a pile of rocks with a lit candle and a silver ring on it. Inside the cabin is a dead lund laying in his bed. Look around the cabin and there are empty bottles of wine and a bottle of poison on the table. Looks like his wife died and he killed himself after burying her.
It was his husband that he made the memorial for. The horse thief that you see at the beginning of the game and gets shot with arrows, that is Lund's husband. The only gay married couple in the game.
That's most likely the case, there is a quest in skyrim were you can choose to release a werewolf who was arrested for killing a child (I think) in werewolf form, and i think set to be executed. I forget alot of what he says but he promises to never return to civilisation or something he you let him go. But they cant choose their form unless they have Hercines ring. So i assume when they transform,they dont have much control over their actions.
If you go to the skooma den that you're sent to in the Dawnguard DLC on the Volkihar side, you'll find an Imperial deserter who was there at Helgen. If you talk to him, he'll mention you being one of the prisoners and will say something like "Just trying to take the edge off."
In Solstheim mod,when you get the quest of Ralis "Unearthed",He'll tell you that He needs money to start the excavation and hire miners,but miners get attacked by draugrs,that happens three times,they die and Ralis sends you a letter telling you to come and get rid of the drauger and fund the next excavation. In the second time (when the first group of miners die and He hires another group) when you get into the barrow you'll find the miners' corpses,one of them is a girl (can't remember her name) had a letter when you search her corpse,the letter was for her parents telling them not to worry,the other miners were fools but she can handle herself and she will make it out alive with the gold that she took from Ralis and it'll solve all their problems.
I remember this girl i saw somewhere in the mountains with his bodyguard i think says that she likes gold and treasure. She wants to go to this dungeon so that she can loot things up there and make her rich. Turns out her bodyguard actually wants something in the cave and waiting for someone strong enough to be their ally for the girl is not strong enough to help him and the girl is already rich with two lands from his father and just wants adventure and not the gold. I find that sad for some reasons I dunno why.
Apparently, I did that Ranmir quest all wrong. I sold the note for a few coins, dragged her corpse to his house, and left said body on the front doorstep.
Great video! I really like Sapphire's (from the thieves guild) backstory which is somewhat hidden. I was actually really interested and it didn't have any quest, just kind of a low key turn of events. If you get a chance give it a google.
The saddest thing I found was the solider Maximian Axius at Fort Frostmoth in Solsthim. He’s down the stairs in a corner crushed to death under some rubble. In his pack you’ll see some letters he wrote to his wife. It’s so sad reading his letters.
For me the most saddening picture in all of Skyrim is the lonely giant in the Tundra who mourns his dead Mammoth, that is lying in the water of one of the hot springs there.
If You travel on the road connecting whiterun to the western city's, you may come across a farmer. His cow has strange markings, so you can ask him why and what he is doing. Turns out that he is sacrificing the cow to the giants so they don't raid his farm.
I found one in dark fall passage or cave it was a sister that thought the trolls are different that they wouldn't hurt her instead they killed her she told her sister to go out of this forsken cave and live peacefully last words were farewell dear sister
Off one of the dirt paths by Soljunds Sinkhole there is a small camp where you find 2 bodies and a cave bear that killed them. If you read the journal the girl snuck away from her father to be with the guy. The guy was a miner who saved all his money to run away with her.
Doing my first mage play through, swearing off all use of melee weapons is hard. In knifepoint ridge where the bandit leader is, you can see the corpse of someone they worked to death in the mines. And more skeletons from where the mine collapsed :’(
Re: Skeggar and Advard, it IS their skeletons in the water. Your video shows them different than I'm used to, as I always just find them floating in the water, slowly drifting away. The skeletons are named, proving that they are the men from the journal. I always drag the skeletons to shore and leave behind some flowers or a gem or two as a memorial to them.
lol i found a imperial or bandit murder in fort green wall basement an imperial soldier is in the water with a note accusing him of stealing imperial supplies for the bandit clan
For Froki, even sadder is his words about taking in Hamming. Froki: Can't say I was a great father the first time around. Now that he's here it's like a second chance. He's a good lad. This implies that Froki himself was dissatisfied with raising Hammings father/son depending on which of Hammings parents is his child.
Somewhere near Ancients’ Ascent, I stumbled upon a destroyed cabin infested with spiders. Outside were a lot of bloodstains and two burnt corpses. On a dresser, I found a note that she’d some light on what had happened. The couple living in the shack had spotted a dragon flying overhead, and the wife was worried for their safety. To make her happy, her husband wrote a letter to the local authorities about the dragon, but he decided to just let it do its thing, hoping that it wouldn’t bother them if they didn’t bother it. As it turned out, he was wrong. From the way the bodies outside are arranged, it looks like the dragon randomly attacked him, and as she was hunched over crying for her husband who was dying on the floor, the dragon came back and burnt them both to death just for the lolz. I proceeded to murder the dragon to death and then left some flowers by the toasted couple.
Ranmir died in my game. Got killed during a College of Winterhold quest. He died in some bushes outside the inn, so when I went walking around looking for victims I didn't find him. It wasn't until much later that I heard someone say, "What a pity!" that I noticed him. At least he and his lover are together now.
if you have the family DLC there are a few orphans scattered around skyrim that have sad stories, the saddest (My opinion) IS Sophia in whiterun, she appears as a little girl asking for a coin. Apparently her parents owned a large plot of land and a farm, but they died in a tragic accident. Because she inherited the farm, her aunt and uncle chose to adopt her, but they took the land and kicked the little girl out to beg on the streets. The second saddest (competing for first) IS a girl i THINK named Lucia, you can find her in Windhelm in the Dark elves corner selling hand picked flowers for food, she sleeps in the gutter.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
In the Dragonborn DLC, you meet a blacksmith in Raven Rock, you do his quests (ancient nordic pickaxe and another) and he gifts you a key and all his old thieves guild gear in his house, you go to collect it and there is a letter to Sapphire, who is a member of the thieves guild. Upon reading, you learn that Sapphire is the blacksmiths daughter (and the sad story behind it). You can give the letter to Sapphire and are rewarded with a flawless Sapphire that she kept as a good luck charm which is worth 5000 gold.
Gotta admit, as much as a pain in the arse it is goin backwards and forwards on this game, fallout also, they do give their games little bits of this and that to spot and add a bit more "life" to the whole game.
There's a spot near Winterhold with two frozen skeletons, one stuck in a bear trap, the other next to him. It's like two friends were walking, one got stuck, and the other refused to leave their side.
ROMA yeah i saw those necromancera
I'm thinking this could be a reference to the first SAW movie but I could definitely wrong.
Just like how ralof says he was sweet on a girl from helgan who made mead with juniper berries and in the roof of the house you jump onto form the watchtower is mead with juniper.
Im at work i dont need to be this sad....
ROMA aww that's so sweet
Honestly, Frostflow lighthouse almost made me cry (to be fair, I was pulling an all nighter and I get moody when tired.) Like, this guy just wants to live out the rest of his days in a lighthouse with his family. How was he supposed to know there were falmer? The fact that you can fulfill his last wish and put his remains in the lighthouse fire makes me both sad and happy.
For me, that first story felt a lot sadder as after I found Isabelle, I remembered how I saw Ranvier die in a dragon attack... He died feeling that he was betrayed.
*Then I realised I just felt sorry for a fictional couple...*
reza choudhury lol
Sign of a good game. Hahah
I found her body ages ago without the quest. Now I know what that letter was about I feel bad for mocking her for going in to the cave with no armor on.
I think we've all had that happen to us atleast once.
reza choudhury I

Angry Crusader 39 and he's got PTSD from many year's worth of paranoia and trauma from the sound of it.

I met this guy once, but I was under attack at the moment.
Oh wow. Neat, I'll have to go there soon.
I used Become Ethereal to survive the drop and still met him. :)
You get another word for Become Ethereal near here too
What area of the map is it on?
Saddest tale? that Falmer dude that got frozen 2 seconds before drinking the potion that could save his life at the Auriel Temple in Dawnguard.
In The Reach you can find a small pond and a women dead in the pond. If you open her journal you can read that she was sneaking there to relaxand didn't care what her father said about the war or the Forsworn. She was ambushed by the Forsworn and there are multiple arrows in her corspe.

omg i found that just a few days ago! took me forever to jump into that waterfall. had to _wuld nah kest_ my way in
What about Leifnarr ? The poor sawmill owner was abducted by bandits and mounted on a wooden wall to be used as target practice by their orc bandit chief and on top of that his wife thinks he is being unfaithful.....and the one quest where an old man is searching for his missing wife in a bandit fort, not knowing that *spoiler alert* his wife is their leader who is heartless enough to give away her wedding ring to misdirect him.....skyrim has more than enough sad stories to tell...
whats the bandit fort quest called? that sounds interesting
Forgetting about Fjola, I think it's a reference to Forgetting Sarah Marshall......
+Ros Lop
Mistwatch Keep. A fun detail about the location, though, is that any bandits you don't kill (whether by sneaking past them or using Calm spells) become friendly after you agree to help Fjola. This makes it the only potentially friendly bandit fort which can be used for some nifty bandit RPing purposes.

That second one reminds me of a quest from Borderlands the Pre-sequel
fun fact about #5
you can actually block alduins fire breath using your own body if you stand in the right position, saving hamings father
le spicymeme does anything change if you do?
I don't think so, since it's most likely scripted to happen anyway.
*Abs of steel increased to 52*
then the dragonborn dies and haming's father saves the world killing alduin
Great ending!
i just run straight passed alduin. he just lands and instantly takes off
Here's a sad Skyrim tale: my skills as a gamer.
The first time i tried out legendary difficulty i got killed by the first mudcrab I saw lmfao
If you still play it how’s your skills now?
@@timmytimtimm9089 I'd say not too shabby. I play without crosshairs and I usually hit.
@@Rakshasa1986 nice! 😎👌
Could be worse I've played it 5 times and still confused about the plot and what I'm actually doing
On the mountain road between Soljund's Sinkhole and Old Hroland Inn (in the Reach), you can find a campsite with a dead dark elf and a dead breton (named Talvur and Karan respectively). There's a bear lurking in the campsite, so I assume the bear mauled them both. Near Karan's body, there's a diary about how Talvur and Karan fell in love secretly. They ran away together because Karan's high class family did not approve of her romance with a commoner. Their love story ended in brutal calamity.
Have you heard the tragic story of the guard that took an arrow in the knee ?
LOL
Sotha Silk yeah the guard got married 😜
I heard this story a few years ago
Yeah, I think he used to be an adventurer, like me.
That’s not even the worst part someone stole his.....his.......sweet role
Near Old Hroldan in the Reach there's the camp and remains of a couple who were killed by a bear. There's a happy ending though because their camp also contains their savings.
If you kill the bear, the bodies disappear and a shrine of Mara appears
Sam Otten that you can take...yeah I'd be happy to
It's actually a leveled animal
The Last Spartan On Reach its a bear all the time, I'm pretty sure.
I saw a wolf there once and a sabrecat that a few times so it is based on your level
The quest "Love beyond deat is about a woman who grieves too much about her husband's death from war that she become quite insane. When you explore the dungeon the quest at, the woman will say that she wants to revive her husband but she can't, one day she read a story about suicide couple and decide to raise an army of undead against Skyrim. She probably was just a normal housewife minding her own business before Thalmor attacks.
That actually kinda hit me in the heart...
I’m gonna be honest, I gave Meeko to one of my adopted kids as a pet in the Hearthfire DLC. I didn’t want him to risk getting killed just by being near me when a bunch of Forsworn show up or something. My house (including my housecarl and steward) would provide much better protection than I could alone.
That's exactly what I did also
I prefer meeko staying in my house in Lakeview Manor I hate to see him get killed or lost
Did you notice Froki's shack only has one bed?
There's probably a sleeping bag somewhere.
Really Oliver? Froki is his grandfather not a Catholic Priest and the boy is not an alter boy. Lmao
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Maybe that's why the grandfather is so nice to him...
I thought that too, but It's not like grandpa can pop down to the corner store and buy a new bed. Still maybe in the like 4+ year I've been playing he could have gotten started....
i remember finding a tent with a nord girls diary saying she ran off to finally be with her dark elf lover but you see their bodies on the ground and bear in their tent lol it was pretty sad when i first found it
I just found that yesterday
She's actually a Breton
If you return to the spot some time later, the campsite is cleaned up and there's a shrine to Mara there.
If you were to install and play the 'Helgen Reborn' mod (highly recommended), when Helgen is finally rebuilt and thriving again you will have the option to guide Froki and his grandson Haming to a new much larger and safer home just outside the gates.
5 years of skyrim, and i never knew about this "Froki"
If you want to find something even weirder, check out Froki’s woodcutting block.
His hut IS very "out of the way". It pays to explore everywhere you can get to.
There is a Lighthouse between Dawnstar and Winterhold, a little to the south called Frostflow Lighthouse. There is a Story of a Family that moved there, but then had to discover there are Falmer tunnels below it the hard way
I was hoping this one was on the list. It's my favorite sad story
That fucking lighthouse terrified me when I first found it, reading all the letters they had wrote and thinking you could hear scuffling somewhere. I was glad when I found that and not some horror monsters
Dude I remember this. Scared me so much when I first played.
@@tomo4977 Chaurus and falmer aren't horror monsters??
@@TheRealRedAce you'd be surprised but it was actually the skeevers that jumpscared me as a sneak main lmao. I even replayed the lighthouse 3 years later, just last night and they still did 😭😭
I think the saddest story is a khajit in a dwemer ruin beside his dead brother. pretty much he killed his brother for skooma, and since he's still taking skooma he has no idea what he's done and assumes his brothers still alive. This was by far the saddest event i witnessed.
#5. Haming's mother was Velod, the girl Raloth said that he was "sweet" to, that used to mix Juniper Berries into the mead.
If you return to Helgen after the intro has been completed, climb the tower once again to reach the second story of Haming's house. You will find multiple bottles of "Juniper-Berry Mead" all around the second story.
(Note: I've been corrected that Velod was a guy. However, the fact that the juniper mead was there on the second story of Hamming's house remains true. It's also possible that the relationship with him being 'sweet to a girl' may possibly be Hamming's mother having an affair AND is Velod's wife. Ouch.)
Aether Veilborne wow man I never even heard about that before
Aether Veilborne that's deep
Aether Veilborne isn't it vilod and he's a man. The girl Ralof talks of is unrelated but the way he says it is confusing. But if you play with subtitles you see that Vilod is the guy bleeding out
The Senate My bad about that, you're right, the way it was spoken is confusing.
Aether Veilborne yeah I was confused at first though. It's easy to mistake Vilod for the girl
Nazeem's failing marriage is pretty tragic, especially as he never even appears in the cloud district.
dorgesh They sleep in the room at the top floor of the Drunken Huntsman, so he doesn't even have his own house. This is probably also why he pesters Carlotta at the market to buy his farm's crops because they are 'so fresh'
"Skyrim has bad storytelling" Some people dont know the meaning of organic storytelling.
Yet they love the Demon/Dark Souls games storytelling.
I think they focused on more dynamic events and activities in the fifth installment. So you can have those random encounters that creates a story on itself. For future, as you said, they should make the structured stories, a bit more non linear with multiple choices to go about them, while retaining the same level of random/dynamic interactivity of skyrim. And there should be an option to turn the quest markers off completely.
Alduizard Sorry, but these great side stories don't make up for the shit main story
Skyrim has bad storytelling but roblox deserves an GOTY
a main story which you don't have to follow cause skyrim is a sandbox game... Do what you want... Not like fucking witcher 3 who's got the worst story from all 3 games ;)
One thing I learned in oblivion and skyrim is elder scrolls games you have to stop and appreciate everything. Everything tells a story.
on Solsthiem, there's a gay couple who are dead. It's in a house half swallowed by ash, infested with ashspawn, and you go in and find a journal of a guy talking about voices and stuff, and how his partner but you go out to the shoreline right near there, there's a boat, and the body of his male partner
I'm not an SJW, but I find it disappointing that the only canonical gay couple in the game (as far as I know) are already dead when you find them.
@@tailuigi I mean it's set in the medievalish times so I doubt there'd be any openly gay couples anywhere
@@awesomedolphin9675it’s based on norse mythology, they gave no fucks about bisexuality.
The dead captive woman in the pond in The Reach. There's also a couple that eloped and were killed by wolves or a saber-cat. The Alchemists. And there is the two skeletons in Winterhold with thebear trap. Plus, the hunter in that one place west of Whiterun city. And that Trollsbane guy.
What about the skeleton of Maximian Axius, within Fort Frostmoth, with the 5 letters to Selina? Pretty depressing to me.
I actually kept those letters. Is there any way to find Selina?
Genuine Peach - I got the impression that those letters were pretty old since the imperials who held the fort had gotten killed about... 200 years ago? I apologize I'm uncertain about the exact timestamp. I presume the woman referred to in the letter is likely long since dead if we are to assume she too was an imperial. It bums me out every time I think about it.
Fanny Widell thank you for the response! Ah that's such a shame :(
Genuine Peach unfortunately those letters are about 190 years old. Selina is long gone and never knew what happened to her beloved.
I though it was referring to Selina from Oblivion (the one that runs "black water gang" or something), since the guy refers to oblivion gates as something "commonly known" and an easy thing to visualise. That would've been fun, since Selina didn't get letters, but heard about the situation with the fort, though her husband was dead and went 180 with her life.
Number 1:
Corrupted save
I know about that very well, once I was playing Darksiders, was almost finished with the game, just had to find these blade pieces, the game froze when I was about to find the last 2 pieces so I turned it off and then I turned it back on, when I got to the menu it said the save was corrupted, I was so pissed because I spent hours trying to solve those puzzles and beat those bosses, now I'll have to do it all over again!
In Solstheim with the DragonBorn DLC if you follow the river north from Tel Mithryn you'll eventually reach a wooden gate that's locked. You can access the area behind it if you descend from the rocks above near where the dragon is. There's an Argonian prospector dead from Skooma suicide with lots of gold ore and a chest with additional treasures. Next to his body is a letter from his lady love (Letter to Usha) saying they can make it work, that she's convinced her father to look past his lack of wealth and that eventually the rest of her family will accept him, as well, begging him to come home and that she'll be waiting. That one really got me. :(
Narfi. He's in ivarstead. He constantly complains about how his sister won't return from getting ingredients from the island. Go to the nearby island and you won't find her. You can find her corpse in the river, or at least her skeleton. I also suggest talking to the inn keeper there. And also someone wanted him killed since he is actually a target in the dark brotherhood quest line.
Yeah but that's known
The story of Shelly and her lover was sad too. The random encounter with a giant mourning his mammoth is sad too.
The tragic story I thought was amazing when I stumbled on it while wandering. You find a burnt building and corpse, and nearby you find a Summon Flame Atronach scroll. Someone tried it and got burned up for their trouble.
Two words: Frostflow Abyss
What about lunds cabin? Outside of the cabin is a pile of rocks with a lit candle and a silver ring on it. Inside the cabin is a dead lund laying in his bed. Look around the cabin and there are empty bottles of wine and a bottle of poison on the table. Looks like his wife died and he killed himself after burying her.
You forgot the part where he took care of a bunch of disease ridden skeevers, so that they would keep him company.
A or his wife left him.
It was his husband that he made the memorial for. The horse thief that you see at the beginning of the game and gets shot with arrows, that is Lund's husband. The only gay married couple in the game.
Man I never knew about the story from the poor drunkard in winterhold
You deserve a lot more subscribers! You're awesome, keep it up :D
The saddest, hidden story of Skyrim is Creation Club :(
I found a man crying over his dead wife. I returned later and was attacked by a werebear.
Ryan Hawkins o.o wonder if he accidentally killed her as a werebear? So he just let the animal take over.
Ginger Kubicz
That was what I was about to say
That's most likely the case, there is a quest in skyrim were you can choose to release a werewolf who was arrested for killing a child (I think) in werewolf form, and i think set to be executed.
I forget alot of what he says but he promises to never return to civilisation or something he you let him go. But they cant choose their form unless they have Hercines ring.
So i assume when they transform,they dont have much control over their actions.
@@phoenixx8963 I freed him, did the hircene's ring quest then skinned him to get both the ring and the saviour's hide.
If you go to the skooma den that you're sent to in the Dawnguard DLC on the Volkihar side, you'll find an Imperial deserter who was there at Helgen. If you talk to him, he'll mention you being one of the prisoners and will say something like "Just trying to take the edge off."
Meeko, close to Markarth?!
You're mad!
Ah, but is he referring to the city or the hold?
It's not sad but I found the Hansell and gretle house with a hag raven
Cool
In Solstheim mod,when you get the quest of Ralis "Unearthed",He'll tell you that He needs money to start the excavation and hire miners,but miners get attacked by draugrs,that happens three times,they die and Ralis sends you a letter telling you to come and get rid of the drauger and fund the next excavation. In the second time (when the first group of miners die and He hires another group) when you get into the barrow you'll find the miners' corpses,one of them is a girl (can't remember her name) had a letter when you search her corpse,the letter was for her parents telling them not to worry,the other miners were fools but she can handle herself and she will make it out alive with the gold that she took from Ralis and it'll solve all their problems.
#4 They should have touched tips to not freeze to death. They were men, manly men after all
Srab23 We are men, manly men
g i n g e r l y
No homo
My *testicles* are turning to *icicles*
The Thalmor stole 40 sweet rolls. 40! That's as much as 4 tens!
And that's terrible.
There's a skeleton just outside dragons reach, under the bridge, not sure if sad but I was creeped out
someone stole my sweet roll i droped. i will never forget that
I remember this girl i saw somewhere in the mountains with his bodyguard i think says that she likes gold and treasure. She wants to go to this dungeon so that she can loot things up there and make her rich. Turns out her bodyguard actually wants something in the cave and waiting for someone strong enough to be their ally for the girl is not strong enough to help him and the girl is already rich with two lands from his father and just wants adventure and not the gold. I find that sad for some reasons I dunno why.
Apparently, I did that Ranmir quest all wrong.
I sold the note for a few coins, dragged her corpse to his house, and left said body on the front doorstep.
Great video! I really like Sapphire's (from the thieves guild) backstory which is somewhat hidden. I was actually really interested and it didn't have any quest, just kind of a low key turn of events. If you get a chance give it a google.
Saddest tale ever? Creation club.
the story of the horse power armor
LUL beat me to it.
LUL didn't think Fallout would make it here
Hah gotem
*Belated viewing & comment*
Now you can add Bethesda, Todd 'the Turd' Howard and FO76...........................
The saddest thing I found was the solider Maximian Axius at Fort Frostmoth in Solsthim. He’s down the stairs in a corner crushed to death under some rubble. In his pack you’ll see some letters he wrote to his wife. It’s so sad reading his letters.
I wonder how u always find these hidden secrets. amazing.
and man, I just love your videos! keep it up
For me the most saddening picture in all of Skyrim is the lonely giant in the Tundra who mourns his dead Mammoth, that is lying in the water of one of the hot springs there.
If You travel on the road connecting whiterun to the western city's, you may come across a farmer. His cow has strange markings, so you can ask him why and what he is doing. Turns out that he is sacrificing the cow to the giants so they don't raid his farm.
I found one in dark fall passage or cave it was a sister that thought the trolls are different that they wouldn't hurt her instead they killed her she told her sister to go out of this forsken cave and live peacefully last words were farewell dear sister
Off one of the dirt paths by Soljunds Sinkhole there is a small camp where you find 2 bodies and a cave bear that killed them. If you read the journal the girl snuck away from her father to be with the guy. The guy was a miner who saved all his money to run away with her.
Forgot the story of the Frostflow Lighthouse
Fucking Falmer...
The tragic story of the dragonborn who sold all his lockpicks by mistake and had to buy them back at increased price.
Tragedy of the era
Teaches you to be careful with the sell all feature
EpicNate - "And finally at number 5, concerns the tragedy..."
Me - "OF DARTH PLAGUEIS THE WISE"
Doing my first mage play through, swearing off all use of melee weapons is hard. In knifepoint ridge where the bandit leader is, you can see the corpse of someone they worked to death in the mines. And more skeletons from where the mine collapsed :’(
Nate is making me so nervous, every time he meets a innocent npc there is a 50/50 chance he will attack them. Chill dude lol.
This is the first video I've seen, and I just have to say - I love the ending mammoth
When I got Meeko I had him so long then on a companions quest he died
Man ..... I love Skyrim
400 hours laters
No regrets
Hobs Fall Cave is a Creepy Location yet it's interesting...it's Great!
salvianus would be a good one to include in here, i cry every time i pay him a visit and listen to his dialogues
Re: Skeggar and Advard, it IS their skeletons in the water. Your video shows them different than I'm used to, as I always just find them floating in the water, slowly drifting away. The skeletons are named, proving that they are the men from the journal. I always drag the skeletons to shore and leave behind some flowers or a gem or two as a memorial to them.
Been watching all your videos for the past couple days and probably will be playing Skyrim again two month break is too much
Love your videos man!
These videos are great to watch when you are playing Skyrim.
EDIT: like when you are watching and playing at the same time
Hey nate could you please do a video or something on what mods you use P.S love your vids
Excellent video! I'l love to see a sequel.
lol i found a imperial or bandit murder in fort green wall basement an imperial soldier is in the water with a note accusing him of stealing imperial supplies for the bandit clan
Saddest story ever: someone stole my sweet role and shot the guard with an arrow to the knee.
On my current play through i killed Rammir because I thought he was just another douchebag and now I feel bad
For Froki, even sadder is his words about taking in Hamming.
Froki: Can't say I was a great father the first time around. Now that he's here it's like a second chance. He's a good lad.
This implies that Froki himself was dissatisfied with raising Hammings father/son depending on which of Hammings parents is his child.
I love this channel and it’s videos!!
Somewhere near Ancients’ Ascent, I stumbled upon a destroyed cabin infested with spiders. Outside were a lot of bloodstains and two burnt corpses. On a dresser, I found a note that she’d some light on what had happened. The couple living in the shack had spotted a dragon flying overhead, and the wife was worried for their safety. To make her happy, her husband wrote a letter to the local authorities about the dragon, but he decided to just let it do its thing, hoping that it wouldn’t bother them if they didn’t bother it. As it turned out, he was wrong. From the way the bodies outside are arranged, it looks like the dragon randomly attacked him, and as she was hunched over crying for her husband who was dying on the floor, the dragon came back and burnt them both to death just for the lolz. I proceeded to murder the dragon to death and then left some flowers by the toasted couple.
The amount of detail this game has is amazing
Ranmir died in my game. Got killed during a College of Winterhold quest. He died in some bushes outside the inn, so when I went walking around looking for victims I didn't find him. It wasn't until much later that I heard someone say, "What a pity!" that I noticed him. At least he and his lover are together now.
Meeko was then murdered by a dragon
How did i miss so much of these?!
Awesome video :) What's the imperial armour mod that you use?
Torolf actually says something really heartbreaking before his death.
*"That's it son, make me proud."*
3:57 "swim-step" I guess "wake" would have been the best word to use for that.
Dogs are bad at setting off traps! Have you met Lydia??
if you have the family DLC there are a few orphans scattered around skyrim that have sad stories, the saddest (My opinion) IS Sophia in whiterun, she appears as a little girl asking for a coin. Apparently her parents owned a large plot of land and a farm, but they died in a tragic accident. Because she inherited the farm, her aunt and uncle chose to adopt her, but they took the land and kicked the little girl out to beg on the streets.
The second saddest (competing for first) IS a girl i THINK named Lucia, you can find her in Windhelm in the Dark elves corner selling hand picked flowers for food, she sleeps in the gutter.
adding Follower Trap Safety and My Home is Your Home mods make Meeko a vastly better companion
After installing a quieter dogs (and invincible dogs) mod, I always pick up Meeko and take him with me.
Wow! I don't think I knew about any of these. It's not very often you find something new in Skyrim.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
In the Dragonborn DLC, you meet a blacksmith in Raven Rock, you do his quests (ancient nordic pickaxe and another) and he gifts you a key and all his old thieves guild gear in his house, you go to collect it and there is a letter to Sapphire, who is a member of the thieves guild. Upon reading, you learn that Sapphire is the blacksmiths daughter (and the sad story behind it). You can give the letter to Sapphire and are rewarded with a flawless Sapphire that she kept as a good luck charm which is worth 5000 gold.
Gotta admit, as much as a pain in the arse it is goin backwards and forwards on this game, fallout also, they do give their games little bits of this and that to spot and add a bit more "life" to the whole game.
2:56 "All my friends are l̶o̶n̶g̶ dead." Push me to the edge.
Meeko is NOT near markarth. Hes between Solitude and Morthal.
The title, "...May have missed". Oh boy you know it.
