10 Missable Video Game Side Quests That You NEED To Do

Most of the quests in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim can be summarized as "go here, fetch this, kill this, repeat."

Everything you need to do is laid out right in front of you with markers, which is why some Skyrim players may be surprised to learn that the game features a small side quest with real detective work.

One of the easiest quests to miss in Skyrim is the feud between Sibbi Black-Briar and his former lover, Svidi. The reason why a lot of players may not have even heard of this quest is because its quest giver, Sibbi, is locked up in Riften's remote dungeon for killing Svidi's brother.

Sibbi explains that he killed Svidi's brother after the girl caught him with another woman. He tells you he wants revenge for getting locked up and that he'll pay you for information about Svidi's whereabouts.

What makes this quest unique is that it doesn't tell you where Svidi is. You get basic information about her (that she is a talented singer), and then it's up to you how to figure out how to find her based on her artistic talents alone.

No more quest markers for you, mighty Dragonborn!
