Skyrim is an absolute treasure trove of both loveable and bothersome NPCs, excellent easter eggs, and some incredible secret quests.

In the strictest sense, you’ll know about a quest when you come across it, but some of them are really cleverly hidden, and in a game world as sprawling as Skyrim you’d be forgiven for missing one or two. Or ten, if the entire list ahead is news to you. Elder Scrolls fans found it an absolute joy to lose themselves in this particular corner of Tamriel, so whether you’ve already turned every possible stone or you want to hear about some great secret quests to look out for upon your next excursion back to Skyrim, I’ve got you covered.
