Skyrim is a large game, full of colorful characters, events, and tales. However some of what exists in The Elder Scrolls 5, is a bit unsettling. So today, we’ll be counting down 5, disturbing, and somewhat lesser know facts within The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
Outro Music: Good Ol' Days - Martin Landh
No, the most disturbing thing in Skyrim is the fact that you can shoot someone with the Wabbajack, turn them into a sweet roll, and then eat them. I heartily recommend this horrific yet unbelievably satisfying way of paying a guard back the next time they ask you that oh so annoying yet famous question about your missing sweet roll. Let's just hope they're not still self aware though.
Loken 4000 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Save first so you can make sure you make him a sweetroll
rather self aware dough
Nemial how does people ignore how smart the npcs are? I watch them in battle and they are freaking smart, iona bow bashed a bear before switching to her sword, Lydia went into sneak mode to get a better angle on a draugr, also they will jump off of ledges to kill an enemy, they know what height wont kill them, and i think they learn from the player.
If did that I would give the sweet roll to the guard and say I found your sweet roll
Last time I was this early there were 9 divines.
There will always be the 9! I will praise Talsos for as long as I am ali-
The Shiba In U there still are, even the thalmor know that, they just hate it that a man managed to make it to godhood when that is what the altmer have been striving to do for thousands of years, they wanted it to go back to life before the creation of nirn, when the were still immortal. They hate the fact that Talos mantled lorkan as they see him as responsible for their current situation.
Speech level 57
Cryo I wonder how many will get that joke
Praise Ysmir, Talos storm crown dragon of the north!
When you kill someone controlled by a necromancer and they thank you for killing them
Shade Ravencraft Or when you use the 7 Souls ability the 7 warriors you summon scream and wail like they're being tortured.
Yeah, first time I had one saying I don't want to do this, it was like an arrow to the knee. Then he thanked me for letting him go.
I kill Serena’s reanimated dead all the time and hear them thanking me afterward
This still isn't as unsettling as my browser history.
Lmao good one dude 😂
Holy shit, Nate did shit to my comment.
Holy fucking shit, he did it again.
Not as unsettling as what you did last summer.
My browser history is more unsettling then yours.
The most unsettling NPC will forever remain the necrophiliac alchemist in Skingrad, Oblivion.
Hey at least he ain't hurting anybody! Well, err yeah...
There's a necromancer in Skyrim who raised female dragr to have sex with them (although he has since switched to ghosts because they apparently feel better).
+Nukestarmaster crazy Arondiil. Still laughs when I remember his questline
No it's the necrophilic "necromancer" near dawnstar
I don't know what's worse, that she wanted to know the fine, or that I actually knew how much a second offense of the fine is.
There's another Dreth in Skyrim. Romlyn Dreth. He's in Riften; working in the Black-Briar Meadery. I wonder if he's related to this Taron Dreth. Were you able to find any connection?
Vladimir Pudding true good point and he is also selling illegal black brier mead so he is also causing Mischief
Vladimir Pudding Yeah I knew about him too, and it seems everyone skips over him, strange...
Well.. He's not so important so I guess people don't notice him much. I only paid attention to him when he said: "Have I told you about Valen, my dear?" to Keerava which confirms that he is indeed Valen Dreth's descendant. Since then, I always give the mead keg to Indarin instead of delivering it to Ivarstead. Serves the bastard right.
Yes, he is related because he has been recorded talking about how good Valen Dreth was, his ancestor. I haven't done my research, but I'm pretty sure.
No no no..... It's good mead ... for cheap
I always wondered why those dead bodies were on the Emperor's ship
Tenko van der Kuip Me too!
Though it is hard to do, you may indeed see the Sailor killing people. Normally, I see him killing a Penitus Oculatus agent. It is never revealed why this takes place, perhaps, Bethesda is hinting that Emperor you are killing is real one and that it shall become Lore. Perhaps in Lore, they simply say that someone unknown killed the Emperor during Skyrim, if you destroy the Dark Brotherhood instead.
yep i can see them giving credit to that random sailor instead, afterall they usually dont give credit to the main character for faction quests only main ones, usually just stating that an adventuer or the leader of the quild did it but not mentioning that its the same person who saved the world
I thought they just where sick
I wonder if the Salior was a former Dark Brotherhood member of a now destroyed branch in another province.
Maybe not completely relevent, but for me it was helping Cicero when his cart broke, then hours into the game doing the Dark Brotherhood questline, only to realise the "Mother" he kept talking about, and who I'd helped, was the Night Mother That Freaked me out Majorly.
I've played through Skyrim probably a couple hundred times and never even noticed that the statues change direction.
Dr. Crackbaby Noticed it on my third playthrough. Creepy as fuck!!! I try not to look at them now.
How about the unsettling fact that if you talk to all the guards again and again, you will find out that they all took an arrow in the knee, has a cousin fighting dragons, possibly a dark brotherhood supporter or member, been to long since seeing a bandit raid, thinks that your sweet roll got stolen and last but not least, hates loli banging.
Loli gaggen - basically loitering lol
They also might get nervous when a man approaches with his weapon drawn.
The only possibility I can see is that they are all related, arrows to the knee are some sort of initiation ritual for the guard and are in league with the bandits ensuring no raids. Maybe there’s also some sort of serial sweet roll thief, or kids tell the guards someone stole their sweet roll as an ancient version of a prank call. Lastly, if they are all related, perhaps the family religion is Sithis. They just all like Sithis. The last thing is just common sense.
This started out as a simple funny comment but than became one of my favorite jokes on youtube.
and they all consider joining the dawn guard
Dreth actually has a 2nd son in Riften named Romlyn Dreth who works at the black briar meadery and would illegally sell you cheap blackbriar mead. Heck there's even a guy in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind called Madsu Dreth who may be their ancestor.
azk many dunmer are named dreth doesn’t make them related
Shit I actually just met the one who sells the cheap mead lol
Maybe is just a coincidence
There was a light house somewhere in the North that got overrun by Falmer and it was unsettling as hell for Inigo and I.
Jason Espinosa Inigo's my brooo lol he's legit saved my life twice.
Sincere Flowers Honestly. The dude is amazing. Can't wait till I build my PC because he's gonna be wonderful to hang out with again.
One thing I found really unsettling but also just saddening was the beartrap couple. Basically, it's two skeletons found by the shore near winterhold, one has its leg in a beartrap, and the other is sitting leaning over them sadly. It was heartbreaking. Even when the non trapped one could've run they stayed, and died with their friend.
most bear traps have releases on them they could of just saved the other one
Gonna say.... Just open the bear trap 😅
6 Years and there's stuff that I yet not know. Let me get back to beginning my 501st playthrough.
only your 501st?...maybe jokes on me. Maybe i really need to get a life lol. XD
Akshay Shetty 501st Legion?
@Droid that's what I was thinking, you talking bout Vader's fist right now ?
@@kingpowell7487 Same
About the moving statues... It's known that no Greybeards can be found in Sovngarde as their pacifism does not make them heroic in the eyes of the Nords, even though they do this for the good of Tamriel. The statues could be the souls of Greybeards, secretly and eternally watching over their fellow Nords even in the afterlife.
Windcaller is in Sovengard. He can be spoken to
@@KZheadcanfuckagoatwindcaller battles a lot beforehand. So despite being a pacifist later, he likely had a spot reserved for his great victories
I really love how small stories are told in the game. Like, in the abandoned lighthouse, where an entire family was murdered by Falmer, andsome abduceted by them. You just gotta go around, piece it together. Its so nice.
Dreth also wanders around the riften inn sometimes, claiming that his ancestor, valen, did all the things that your character in oblivion did. Also, 2 of the most unsettling things I’ve experienced in Skyrim is when you urge a woman in windhelm to suicide by killing her only remaining daughter, and a dead body pined by loads of arrows outside of the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.
Weeping Angels don't actually kill you. They do something much worse. Spoiler incoming.... . . . . . They let you live your life to death... except decades before anyone you knew and loved were around, so at best you will only meet them again at the end of your life and then feed off the energy of the potential life you had that they just made impossible. That is much worse.
How can they feed off the energy of your potential life if you just play games all day? Checkmate atheists.
Doesn't seem too bad actually
Losing everyone you ever cared about doesn't seem too bad? That's a bit cold.
Kane Bunce depends how strong they are as they have been know to kill straight up
I mean, I'd still be against it. I just feel like horrifying sentient angel statues could do far worse than that.
While I've initially come across most of these myself while playing, I see them as more tragic and sad than unsettling. Yes, Falx Carius's fate may disturb some players (because he was a significant character in Bloodmoon) but I found it quite sad. So yeah. Interesting though to put it that way but still, it was more tragic. Though the Dark Brotherhood one and the Sovngarde statues are quite creepy.
There is also a Romlyn Dreth in Riften, who is also apart of the Dreth family.
Interesting fact: Potema Septim if she had been successfully resurrected she would automatically have a far more valid claim to the rest throne of not just Skyrim but also the empire it’s self with her being a descendant of Tiber Septim
Seeing Falx in Solstheim was sad. As the Nerevarine in Morrowind he was a brother in the Legion, and we were brothers against Hircine and his Hounds during the Bloodmoon Prophecy, and I made sure he made it out alive and back to his post commanding Fort Frostmoth... Seeing him like this was kinda cool as a nod to an old friend, but more so sad to see him enslaved in death.
The only thing really disturbed me was the fact that the only canon overt same-sex couple in the game are both dead.
Nah mate, all elves are gay
No kidding. Sure, you can marry whoever is available, but even finding interracial couples is hard. I can maybe understand somewhere like Windhelm, where tolerance is already low, but it's just discouraging to be gay in Skyrim
Another small detail for your ongoing Skyrim series: In the Aetherium Wars quest when Katria leads you to her body, if you loot the armor off her dead body, the ghost Katria will comment about it, remarking that you could have at least left her with a little dignity.
It's more unsettling that the wind didn't take that note.
Perhaps the statues in sovngarde, I hope I spelled that right, recognize that the player is the dragonborn or perhaps that they are still alive and not dead.
RobertYo125 they were like “gtfo!”
Thanks so much for posting another ace video! The one about the robed statues of Sovngarde was particularly cool-- I've always been so set on the main quest that I never even noticed!
In whiterun you can do the trick that gets you on the other side of the gate while still technically in whiterun. However while wandering along the wall to the left you'll come across a portal that just says "go to" and if you enter it you get stuck in the loading screen and will then have to restart your game. Now this probably isn't the right video to be commenting on but I feel like you should, or someone else should know.
About Trias and his letter, not really far ahead you find a shipwreck due the icebergs and low vision conditions. I've explored the area and didn't found any bodies or life signals, just chests and barrels. It's interesting to theorise that maybe Shelly could have scaped (or maybe not, just lucubrations) since you can't find drown bodies or bones...or perhaps it happened so long time ago, the corpses disolved just like Trias, but again, no bones to be found, so maybe the whole tripulation scaped.
Lilith Heartsong When you try this hard to sound smart you come off as cringey as fuck
Why cringy? Sorry English is not my mother tongue, maybe it's because of that.
Lilith Heartsong Oh okay I'm sorry. You were using uncommon words and it sounded like you were a native English speaker trying to sound smart. I'm sorry that I am so mean
cardinals fans smh
It's ok, nevermind. Glad to sound smart in other language xD
Been really enjoying this content. Nice work man, keep it up!
Lots of dunmer have the surname Dreth. There’s a Dreth Plantation southeast of Balmora in TES III
throwsand it's actuall Dren, not Dreth.
To me the most unsettling thing is that Serana was raped by Molag Bal, she's a daughter of coldharbour that's how they're made, and her mother was raped by Molag as well. Especially when you realize that Harkon used them as a payment for his own vampiric power. Anyone else think that's the most disturbing thing in Skyrim?
Christopher Eichor Nope. Thanks to Lovers Lab my Nord females been raped at least 4 times.
Skyrim: the Gift that keeps on giving and giving....oh crap, now I sound like Bethesda....*arrow to own head*
Kell's Corner cringe No offense since you died and all that
Kell's Corner that arrow is supposed to go to your knee
Laura James thank you, just thank you.
Loken 4000 😄
You don't murder Dreth in Skyrim. You kill him in self-defense. There is a fine difference between murder and kill.
That difference being a very good lawyer
@@astrofish6163 actually, no. kzhead.info/sun/Y7Z-frSZkGJqZqc/bejne.html
I'm new to your vids, but I could watch these all day. Great stuff!
I could've sworn that the aetherium shards quest in #2 was part of a mod I downloaded... something like tales from the wasteland from FO4. Also I imagine there's a Norse/similar cultural reason to why those statues in Sovingard (spl?) turn to look at the player, at least in a lore-friendly way. Great vid!
Torturing that one dude with Molag Baal's mace could be considered unsettling. I found it awesome. All my characters were evil bastards.
My characters are all inherently good. I’ve actually had to force myself to get one of them to join the Thieves Guild
AAAHHH!! I went through Sovengarde so many times and I never realised that! That's terrifying to know the statues were watching me the whole time O_O
Woah woah woah wait!? The second detail.... Dreth? Like cheap mead selling Dreth!? "A Dreth never forgets a traitor! You'll pay for this!" Holy shit!
It's not quite unsettling but more just fun to think about if you're a fan of connecting these medeival games to real world habits. Also I'd like opinions on if it makes enough sense. I'm talking about the possibility that the families of our favorite imperial and stormcloak from the start of the game have the possibility of being related in the future.. How? Hear me out, Riverwood is a very small town with primarily 3 small families with the added bonus of Faendal, and the innkeeper and those who live there.We already know of Sven, Faendal, and Camilla but what about Hadvar's neice? You know rambunctious little girl who's one of the few likeable children in skyrim who aspires to be a blacksmith like her father?Well even though Hadvar and Ralof while in helgen have a short spat suggesting they know each other well before you go with one of them back to their home.We are aware at that point that Ralof and Hadvar likely grew up together, both of them having their respective uncles living in River wood and ironically despite the two being on different sides of the war their neice and nephew respectively act as best friends.We see them playing, hints that they play pranks on the town and honestly I being a softy found it all adorable.Though that was when the thought came to mind that if Hadvar's neice (I forget her name) and Ralof's nephew stay in Riverwood to adulthood with no other young people their age neirby apart from the graymane and battleborn children, and the one farmer girl the two of them more than likely due to the time period end up actually being married to each other. Purely due to how long they would know each other and it helps that Ralof's nephew never seems to be judgemental of the girl doing more boyish things. In fact she actually teases him saying not to be so girlish once or twice. So does it hold up? and would you ever like to see some of these children grow up in later games? I certainly wouldn't mind it.
I had not thought about the ES universe like that. Interesting concept deffenitly gives me something to think about the next time I play through any of the ES games.
Nate, you're a man of the people. Great vid series, great vid
Really like that you can keep the content coming
This is late but my experience in unsettling isn't a game moment but rather a book within the game called chance's folly. If anyone finds the book i highly recommend your read it. If I were to name a moment or scene in the game though it would have to be the dead miner inside a mine near Riften. 2 best friends found the mine and thought gold would be in there so while one went to mining the other went to a town for supplies. When he came back his friend was gone and he assumed he found gold and left, he was mad so he left without even going into the mine. Once the player explores the mine and finds a way into a tunnel behind the waterfall, they'll find a skeleton buried under rocks and gold ore next to the body. The poor friend was trapped under there and his buddy left him.
I like the outro, very calm and relaxed
Hey Nate epic videos man ! I have watched a majority of them... I really enjoyed this one... Is there a chance you can find more unsettling facts ?
The creepiest person in all elder scrolls is the player...
Loving these Skyrim facts and hidden stuff.
Literally didn't know any of these facts. Great video!
You should make a top 5 skyrim playlist i already watched skyrim mysteries, skyrim theories and skyrim 10 tiny details but when looking through all of your videos i see that i have yet a lot stuff left to watch but my history is cleared and i cant easily see what ive watched and what i havent i mark important already seen videos by thumbs up 😂
Hey man! I love your videos! You were talking about that Taron Dreth, the apprentice who took Katria's work, related to Valen Dreth. Well, do you know who else is called ''Dreth''? Romlyn Dreth himself, in Blackbriar Meadery in Riften! BOOM
Bro I️ love this channel, Kipp making this dope stuff
I love these bro keep it up
Hey nate, nice video as always. I was wondering if u could give us ur modlist, i'm going to start modding skyrim again, and yours looks quite good.
1. Already another dark brother in the emperors ship 2. Theron Dreth plagiarized in lost the ages: dreth from oblivion 3:in sovengarde the statues follow you with stare 4:treus or whatever waited for his lover that never showed up 5.whoever tries to kill you with ash spawn in the Dragonborn DLC tried killing you in the elder scrolls III
I just subscribed, and I love your vids!
The outro is awesome 👏
I remember finding the note to shelly and then went out scouring the coast for the ship that shelly was on.
To actually one day finish the game is the most unsettling thing for this dude. There is always hope.
I found an iron arrow stuck in the snow a couple of meters south of Trius. It’s worth noting that Trius set up camp within sight of where Velehk Sain stashed his treasure. Maybe Velehk Sain’s crew thought Trius might have seen too much.
Do you know the guy waiting for shelly? well, around that area, you can find a ship wreck - probably the one that shelly was on.
I just encountered the bodies under the bed [well in my game curiously both bodies were under beds] and was hoping to hear more about this lol
U can indeed catch the killer on the boat slitting the sleeping guards throat, I did on my last playthrough and got a good chuckle from it
Excited for this video
So just a tip cuz I had reading the message boxes while trying to watch the video in the background. Try using a mix mate even if you have to start out with a cheap one just like it helps in my opinion
There's also another Dreth - Romyln Dreth - you can find in Riften. He boasts about his ancestor's deeds to the innkeeper (who doesn't believe a word of it) and this ancestor also appears to be Valen. The nastiness in the Dreth family runs far and deep, I think
I've always wondered if maybe the skeleton at the northern camp isn't Treus (spelling), but actually Shelly who finally showed up. Unfortunately for her she died waiting, and who knows what happened to Treus.
About that killer on the ship - I always though he was an insider from Mattier (or what's his name), since when you meet him in the tavern - he is surprised, that anyone from dark brotherhood is still alive and even MORE surprised, that DB is still interested in the quest. At that point I though, that it's strange, that after all of this complicated setup - he didn't have a backup plan or an extra backup for the case of failure on DB behalf (since they are kinda shitty at this point in history). So yeah, when I saw that little killer - it all made quite some nice sense )
I never noticed the "weeping angel" statues in sovengarde. That one is ACTUALLY creepy.
That second to last one with the corpse of the man waiting for his loves ship, I believe If you swim out a bit, there’s a sunken ship with remains in it
I liked that in this one it didnt sound like you were trying to put on a voice quite as much
I think The Stormcloak Victory Unsettles me as They're basically letting The Thalmor win and complete their Goal
You got it. That was the point of whole Ulfric`s 'revolution'. DIVIDE ET IMPERA!
Well either way imperials or stormcloaks there letting the thalmor win by letting each other kill themselves in a war. But personally I agree with the stormcloaks because they deserve freedom and a alliance with hammerfell would prove powerful against the thalmor. And since hammerfell and skyrim got complete freedom who says the the rich nobles in High Rock wouldn't want to make there kingdoms away from the empire too
Blade The Bear they aren't letting the thalmor win, what the thalmor want is the civil war to not end, In there notes it says that a Strom cloak victory must be avoided at all costs. If the imperials win it won't matter too much as they will still be able to carry out there business in skyrim and probably start another civil war. I think that the cannon ending will be that the dragonborn didn't join a side and eventually the two sides came to a peace agreement to face a different enemy (what ever the next game is about)
Both endings are cannon =) It`s possible cos dev`s introduced some kind of different timelines or smth, dont remember.
Antonio Bandera well unless the dragonborn used slow time too many times, or fucked up when reading the elder Scrolls I don't see any reason for a dragonbreak
The most unsettling thing for me was when the dark brotherhood kidnaps you, because at the time I had no idea how it worked, so weeks after I finished the quest I slept, next thing I know I’m there
The statues scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it 🤣🤣
well i found the bodies on the ship but i never knew that you can catch the crew doing this
very nice videos my dude
The chicken in river wood was mocking me that was pretty scary
I thought the Shelly thing was an easter egg, referencing Mary Shelley and frankenstein ending with death in the snow?
I never knew there was a killer loose on the Emperor's ship. I was too busy being tracked by the Occulotus troopers ^^;
Romlyn Dreth in Riften talks about a "Valen" ancestor that was arrested. It's possible they're all related or just that Dreth is a common surname
Sovngarde was such a let-down content wise that I'm not suprised I didn't notice the statues. But thanks for showing me :)
I always spend over 10 minutes in Sovngarde just for looking around: talking to everybody, examining the Great Hall, admiring the scene (waterfall, amazing sky and so on) and so on. Then after I had my fill of cool Sovngarde I return bak to Tamriel (though with a sad feeling). True, I wish you could do more there, but the setting and scenery is still super awesome. :D
Hey at least you can meet the Dead high king killed by Ulfic. And if I complete the companions questline u can meet kodlak white mane there. And if u complete the civil war with the imperials Ulfic and Galmor stone fist will be there too. But if u go the stormcloaks civil war route u can meet a died legate Rikke too And with doing the bards college u can meet the ghost u meet in ruin to find the book in the bards college quest
Omg he speaks so fast!!! He has mastered his audible magic in these latter years in Nirn.
Nate reminding me once again that I should really play the other ES game
I just realized the necromancer that brings backs General Carius is Neloth's old assistant that he almost murdered to death
I caught the "second assassin" crouched next to the bed over the body of the sailor. (the one usually stuffed UNDER the bed.) He had an iron dagger in his hand and he said "never should have come here" (basic line) I promptly jumped forward and killed him and took a screenshot because I always saw him in the chair on previous play-throughs. This was just 2 days ago. Odd seeing it here now!
Those stupid Ash people. I don't think anything freaked me out as much as when I got attacked by them in the Dragonborn dlc.
I loved that quest with Katria and felt she had a nice depth to her character. Wish I met the idiot that stole her research so that I could kill him.
bocconom You actually can, though it's a random encounter.
I never heard of the Aetherium Wars quest. :o
Adding to the 4th one nearby you can find the ship his love was on wrecked...
The necromancer is also the dark elf that Neloth was experimenting on beforehand.
What's terrifying is the fact that Ulfric Stormcloak is considered an asset to the Thalmor. Says he's fighting for freedom yet the dominion benefits from the chaos.
I've played alot of Oblivion, and I'm replaying it now. Less then 5 minutes before watching this video (all pure coincidence), I finished a Dark Brotherhood Contract, then decided I needed a break for a few minutes. The Contract? To kill a prisoner, in a jail cell....
If you're in the dark brotherhood quest line to the point where the dark brotherhood is talking about assassinating the emperor, if you go to a town like whiterun, the guards will say something about it like they've figure it out or found out about it or something like that, idk I was playing skyrim td and I'm at that point and the guard in whiterun said something about the conspiracy
Joe from joeys super cool food reviews A guard in Whiterun said to me "psst! I know who you are, just, please, these are good people." with genuine terror in his voice. I assume you only get that after becoming leader of the brotherhood. Also a Solitude Guard went "I heard about...you...and...the brotherhood" but he bites his tongue rather quick.
Sincere Flowers dope
I've never seen anyone talk about that pirate daedra in the midden
03:50 Surely the skeleton could be Shelly? Who waited as he wrote in the note for her to do, while he never returned.
Never knew about the statues that follow you
Lost prospect mine is a bit spoopy i guess. its at the bottom right corner of the map in the rift
Knew all of them except the first one! gg man!
I can verify that you can find the sailor killing the soldier. I found him when I did the quest in my most recent playthrough
you should probably say if the quests are from a dlc from the start. went looking for the lost to the ages quest only to find out its not in the main game
