Did you know there used to be a blue Mammoth using a bow in Skyrim called 'Grampy', but they took him out of the game before it was released? ;)


Haha, a fellow Creature fan!

I knew this since I bought the game. I haven't viewed anything but Trailers before I got the game.

Did you know that if you "grab" a follower like picking up an object (press and hold the activate key), you can command them to do just about anything? From waiting in a specific spot, sitting in a seat, killing a person, or even looting a chest.

Did you know that the landmasses of Morrowind and Cryodiil from TES III and IV are built into Skyrim? If you disable the borders (or use TCL) you can explore beyond Skyrim into a completely non-detailed version of every other province on the continent. The Test Chamber is directly under the spot where the White Gold Tower would be in Cyrodiil.

Did you know that dragons will only spawn after you've defeated the first dragon outside of Whiterun at the beginning of the MQ? Similar to how Oblivion gates only appeared after closing the first one in Kvatch.

Did you know you can reverse pickpocket anything, even if it has weight?

Did you know you can use the Whirlwind Rush shout to reach places you normally wouldn't be able to?

Did you know that you can shoot those random soul gems positioned on small stone pillars spewing fire at you with Arrows to take them out? You no longer need to walk up to them and grab them :]

Did you know that regeneration enchantments don't work during combat?

Did you know that in combat regeneration is significantly lower than out of combat regen? (the enchants work, but at a vastly decreased reward due to this).

Did you know that you dont have to initiate a conversation with a follower to access the "I Need you to do something" functions?

Just point your crosshairs at them and hold the use key for a moment (much like picking something up).

Did you know that if you give a staff of chain lightning to your follower they aren't nearly as careful with it as you are? Took me a little while to figure out who was attacking me in a fight once. "Hey watch it with that thing, will ya?"
