How Many Of These Skyrim Quests Have You Enjoyed?

With a staggering 244 quests rammed into the vanilla game alone, Skyrim might seem like a gargantuan, quest-vomiting monster to a player who hasn’t yet popped their TES V cherry. While every quest does its little bit in providing players with hours of fun and adventuring, some quests do stand out more than others – and are worth an ogle for any and all TES V tourists. Listed below are 10 quests which standout the best.

10. The Legend of the Red Eagle

Skyrim Quest Guide: Find Red Eagle's Sword

First off, the Legend of Red Eagle. This quest only began when reading an in-game storybook – also titled The Legend of the Red Eagle oddly enough. The Legend of Red Eagle contributed to Skyrim’s organic, immersive feel – with many players only discovering this quest while trawling through dungeons, simply trying to build their house’s library.

The Legend of the Red Eagle felt like a secret quest – and made us feel as though we were stumbling upon ancient secrets, forgotten centuries ago. We rate it #10 it for being a total surprise – as well as just a neat little treasure-hunting detour.

The Red Eagle himself. The Legend of the Red Eagle is a classic treasure-hunt, full of mystery.
