10 Secret Video Game Areas You Weren't Meant To Find

7. Fallout 4 & Skyrim's Developer Rooms

Bethesda games are known for being quite glitchy, but the company never receives too much criticism for it (before Fallout 76, at least). Instead, it's considered 'part of the charm'. Who doesn't love dragons flying backwards?

Another thing games like Fallout 4 and Skyrim are known for is the fact that they contain secret developer rooms, areas where the game-makers can test out every single weapon, item, and anything else the game has to offer, in a safe space.

These rooms contain literally all of each game's weapons, books, holotapes, consumables, armour, spells, power armour, bobbleheads, arrows, keys, and more, allowing players to use anything they want, without having to obtain it the regular way.

Both Fallout 4 and Skyrim's developer rooms can be accessed by entering the command "COC QASMOKE". Hilariously, the Skyrim room allows you to spawn in any of the game's creatures in a large cage, giving you some easy targets to shoot. Or, you can just watch them fight each other. Whatever floats your boat.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
