10 Seriously Twisted Quests In Video Games

2. The Taste Of Death - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The Taste Of Death - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Bethesda

If there’s mischief and twisted business about in any Elder Scrolls game there’s a pretty good chance a Daedric Prince or Lord is behind it and The Taste Of Death is no exception.

Venture into the Hall of the Dead in Markarth after following rumours that it’s been shut due to bodies being defiled and you’ll meet Eola. Eola is a bit of a weirdo to put it really, really lightly as you find out she worships the Daedric Lord Namira and she’s been eating the bodies in the crypt. She asks if you can help her out by killing off some Draugr which seems acceptable but then she asks if you can bring a priest to her cool cannibal initiation feast so they can kill and eat him.

You can then go ahead and decide if that’s something you want to do or not. No judgement.
