10 Reasons You Should Revisit Skyrim Before The ‘Anniversary Edition’

10. Finding A Hidden Secret

Skyrim is packed with easter eggs and secrets, from the depths of Blackreach to the top of The Throat of the World. When it comes to niche references, game developers can’t get enough of them.

As a result, Skyrim has such an abundance of allusions that finding them all can constitute an entire playthrough all by itself.

A pickaxe dedicated to the creator of Minecraft, a room where the Seven Dwarves sleep, an evil creature with a precioussssss ring, a pair of star-crossed lovers, and an upside-down skeleton who couldn’t quite reach his glowing weapon are just some of the easter eggs and secrets you can find dotted around the snowy landscape.

Finding these easter eggs can have you feeling like a treasure hunter, scouring the caves and cities for the little references like a sword-wielding Lara Craft.

Why do it now? Well, with the Anniversary Edition including a new Survival Mode, chances are you’ll be too busy fighting the cold wet weather to want to trek around looking for secrets, at least until you get yourself a decent tent.
