10 Video Game Side Quests So Good You Ignored The Story
2. Thieves Guild - Skyrim
A lot of these side quests are singular quests, or if they do have more than one part, they still don't take up too much of your time. In Skyrim on the other hand, most people forget there even IS a main story mode half the time because the side content is what everyone plays an Elder Scrolls game for anyway.
Case in point, most people's favorite side quest series in the game: the Thieves Guild.
If there's one thing every Skyrim player loves to do above all else, it's steal stuff right from under people's noses. So of course, they would gravitate towards a guild that literally employs you for that very skill. It helps that the missions they send you on, as well as the internal politics of the guild itself, are fascinating to partake in.
Skyrim has many guilds dotted across its landscape, and all of them have something worth exploring, but the Thieves Guild is one of the best mini stories in a world filled with excellent mini stories. If you want to know which guild to start with, it's this one.
