Quests are tasks the Dragonborn can perform in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Various actions, such as talking to people, reading books, etc., can initiate quests, allowing for rewards to be gained by completing them. Rewards may include gold, items, increases of skill levels. Successfully completing a quest for a person makes them friendly to the Dragonborn, opening opportunities in many cases to recruit followers or make marriage proposals.
The 'main quest' denotes tasks the Dragonborn is compelled to complete as part of the game's main story. Other quests can be performed for a guild or faction, while others are considered side quests, which skirt on the periphery of the game's plotlines. Not all the quests are visible in the Journal; some of them, such as selling crops or chopping wood, are hidden.
As with most of The Elder Scrolls titles, there are quests for each of the Daedric Princes of Tamriel, excluding Jyggalag. Unique to Skyrim are Radiant Quests, quests which are initiated as part of the radiant story artificial intelligence system. These quests can be repeated an infinite number of times, allowing for never-ending gameplay. These quests can be useful for leveling up faster and/or getting gold or loot.

Two separate questlines were added to the game with the official plug-ins, Dawnguard and Dragonborn. For coverage of these quests, see Quests (Dawnguard) and Quests (Dragonborn).
Interface
The interface listing all quests can be activated through the map menu or by accessing the Journal directly. The PC versions of the game allow the journal (pressing 'J') to be accessed directly, while consoles open the journal, game settings, etc. through the same button. Quests are listed by faction and relevance to the main quest first, and alphabetically second. Thus, quests in the main quest appear first, but quests involving the Thieves Guild appear later. Miscellaneous quests are grouped together on a separate menu, accessible from the very bottom of the list of quests.
Most quests can be completed in any order, upon activation. However, quests markers will not appear on the world map, on the compass, or in-game unless they are marked as active in the interface. Simply selecting the affirmation button activates the quests, once it has been highlighted in the list. Completed lists are listed at the bottom of the quest menu, below a divider. The names are greyed out, and the bullets next to the objectives are filled, indicating successful completion, or marked with a red cross, indicating failure. Some quests are mutually exclusive (e.g., the Dragonborn cannot join the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks at the same time), so failure is not uncommon. In the menu, quests that are partially completed also have their objectives greyed out or ticked off. Optional tasks within the quest are labeled as such in the list as well.
Main quest
- Main article: Main Quest (Skyrim)
The main quest of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim involves the investigation and resolution of the Dragon Crisis, as foretold by the Elder Scrolls. Two factions must be joined in order to progress the main quest, the Blades and the College of Winterhold. 'Paarthurnax' is completely optional and can be completed after the main quest. 'Season Unending' operates under special conditions; completing it halts the Civil War questline, while completing the Civil War questline causes this quest not to appear, since it is no longer necessary.

Act II
Act III

Faction quests
Quests performed for the various factions are not considered part of the main questline. Choices made during faction quests are non-canonical, lore-wise. Each faction contains several Radiant Quests which can be completed an innumerable amount of times.

Civil War
The brewing Civil War in Skyrim is between two main factions, the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks. Both sides have the same tasks, with plenty of individuals throughout the region relaying the deeds of both sides. Minor factions, especially in Whiterun between the Battle-Born and Grey-Mane families, exist throughout the empire. Siding with either side impacts gameplay.

- Reunification of Skyrim
- A False Front
Stormcloaks

Trivia
Conflicting quests
- Conflicting quests involve those that prevent other quests from being cleared, and those which bar you from acquiring a full reward from another quest.
First quest | Second quest | Reason |
The Straw that Broke | Dark Brotherhood contract: Kill Narfi | As soon as you start Kill Narfi, you will be unable to start or complete The Straw that Broke. |
Hearthfire: Build your Falkreath home | Dark Brotherhood contract: Kill Helvard | Killing Helvard may make it impossible to raise Siddgeir's disposition enough to sell you a plot of land in Falkreath. This can be overcome if at any time the Stormcloaks take over and replace Siddgeir as Jarl, otherwise you miss out on a house and some achievements/trophies. You must side with the Stormcloaks to trigger this, for more details see the Civil War article. |
The Spiced Wine | Bound Until Death | Initiating quest 2 will render it impossible to complete quest 1 |
Blood on the Ice | Mourning Never Comes | During quest 2, you are given an extra reward for killing Nilsine Shatter Shield. Doing this will cause her mother to kill herself. This can cause a fair amount of problems with quest progression, so it is best to complete quest 1 first. |
Mourning Never Comes | Lost to the Ages | During quest 2 you are required to trek through Raldbthar, where Alain Dufont lives. If you kill him before starting quest 1, you cannot obtain the bonus reward in that quest. Fortunately, he is never hostile, unless provoked, so you can simply bypass him. |
Lights Out! | Kill the Bandit Leader for Ahtar | During quest 1 you are required to trek through Broken Oar Grotto, where Captain Hargar lives. If you kill him before starting quest 2, you will never be able to start that quest and be unable to recruit a potential follower. |
The Taste of Death | Civil War | If Markarth is handed to the Stormcloaks, quest 1 is nullified. |

Discussions about Quests (Skyrim)
Maybe the saddest quest in the game?
- The story of the guy who the king in rags tells you to go talk to in no-one escapes chidna mine is sad. I think the whole of Skyrim is one ..
- For me it's the Dark Brotherhood quest.
Best Quest In Skyrim
- infallible depths i like 2 can't,dat it right cuz auto correct
- No one escapes chidna mine was great I also enjoyed a night to remember a lot. My favourite deadric quest has to be The cannibal one too as it..
I was just wondering if anyone else played the forgotten city mod where you're in the time looped dwarven city. I hear it has multiple endings depending on what course of actions you take. Mine ended with me freeing that one girl who was abducted as a sex slave, who then killed the jarl and got everyone out of the city after I vanished. But did anyone get another ending? Like if you choose to leave her and inform her husband of her whereabouts. Or did anyone manage to get all the immaculate armor? (I could not get to the gauntlets and I have no idea where the boots were.) I never got to explore that place much at all, nor did I get the option to identify the corpse found in the sewers.
This guide contains a thorough walkthrough of all the main quests of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The descriptions most of all include information regarding ways of completing the main and side quests and the possible options, allowing you to complete mission in different ways. The walkthrough additionally includes instructions regarding solving the puzzles and hints on fighting using different gameplay styles. The whole package is enriched by high-quality screenshots of the most important moments in the game.
Additional notes
The guide contain the following colour symbols:
- Red refers mostly to NPC that you will come across throughout the game, though it's also used to mark enemies, wild animals and monsters.
- Blue refers to locations, both the main ones that appear on the world map, as well as the secondary like single houses or deeper dungeon levels.
- Green refers to items that you find throughout the game, which end up in the inventory after picking up
- Orange refers mainly to names of Shouts and Words of Power, though skills used to complete quests have also been marked (e.g. Speech), as well as actions connected with them (e.g. obtaining a book raising the level of a given skill).
Note! The guide was prepared based on the basic version of the game, available in shops at the official premiere. As new patches come out, some minor elements, like prizes received for completing given mission, are prone to change slightly.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim PC version System Requirements
Recommended: Core i5 2.6 GHz, 2 GB RAM (4 GB RAM - Vista/7), graphic card 896 MB (GeForce GTX 260 or better), 6 GB HDD, Windows XP/Vista/7, lacze internetowe
Mods are a popular reason to play games on PC. They can add anything to a game, from new models to entire new quests and locations. It does my heart good to see an old mod given new life as its own game.
The Forgotten City is a remake of the popular Skyrim mod of the same name. The original mod has been downloaded well over one million times and even won a national Writers’ Guild award. While the upcoming game will “retain all the elements which made the original beloved,” it won’t exactly be a faithful recreation. After all, The Forgotten City mod takes place in Skyrim, a fictional location owned and copyrighted by Bethesda. Developing a standalone version of The Forgotten City that features prominent Elder Scrolls stylings would be just asking for trouble.
The story of The Forgotten City will revolve around the titular city, which is an ancient, underground Roman city. The city is populated by bronze statues, except they aren’t really statues but the city’s inhabitants, cursed because someone broke a law. Who broke the law and what law did he or she break? That is where the mystery lies.
The hook of The Forgotten City is that players need to travel to the past and prevent the law from being broken. If they fail, they will witness the horrific deaths of the city’s inhabitants, be thrown back to the beginning, and have to fix things all over again. And again. And again.
Fans of the original The Forgotten City mod will be pleased to hear that the standalone version will feature brand new plot twists, endings, and tweaked characters that will deliver a fresh new experience.
The Forgotten City is scheduled to release for the PC via Steam in 2019. So far, the development studio behind the game has no plans to port it to consoles, but that could easily change.
