Did you know that animals have dens that they patrol and will return to after a hunt?
Did you know that if a cave has many bees near the entrance, there's a high chance that there will be a bear in the cave?
Did you know that many Orcs live in Strongholds, giant tribe-like places blocked off from outside contact?
Did you know that you can in fact become a member of an Orc Tribe?

Also, did you know there's a shout that makes getting down mountain, almost literally, a breeze.

Whirlwind Sprint for lulz.

Ethereal for survival.

Did you know that if you want to sell a small number of something from a vendor say 20 out of 400 arrows pressing LB will move it significantly faster to the left and RB significantly faster to the right.

Did you know that if you "drop" your stuff on the floor, people around you will fight to the death to get whatever you "dropped".

This is one of the most interesting and informative threads I've ever read. Keep it coming, guys :hugs:

Did you know that you can tell Followers to open locked doors for you if they have a lockpick in their inventory?



Do they break? And are companions sometimes incapable of opening locks, like if they lack the skill?

Did you know, they don't even have to have a lockpick in their inventory. Their skill just needs to be high enough for said lock. ;) (Unless Faendal had one on him and I did not realize it) - Edit* Yep, just tested it. I had Brelyna Maryon open a chest for me and she had no lockpicks in her inventory.

Did you know, you can grab an item, move it to a hidden place, then steal it without anyone being the wiser?

Did you know, even though there is not a skill for it anymore, hand to hand can be one of the most effective combat options with a high Smithing skill and the Heavy Armor perk that adds gauntlet armor rating to unarmed damage?

Did you know, if you tell a follower to wait then forget where you left them, they will return to their home after three days?

Did you know, under combat in the general stats menu, the game keeps track of "Bunnies Slaughtered" ?

Did you know that the banner art surrounding the name of the selected quest in your journal changes based on the type of quest (dragons for main quest, oblivion symbol for deadric etc...)

Did you know that your followers can carry enormous amounts of loot? Just keep telling them to pick up items using the command. No more leaving loot behind due to encumbrance limits :)

Did you know that:

-Waiting to lvl up until your low on hp/mana/stam, and lvl'ing up during combat would bring you back to full hp/...

-That mounting your horse while being overcumbered allowed u to fast travel again while on said horse

-That only from the point where u deliver the dragonstone, dragon's will start showing up in the world.


You literally beat me to saying at least two of those things. I use the lvl up thing in dungeons all the time early on. Save it for the boss battle and get a second wind!

Also, with my latest character I completely avoided whiterun so as not to spawn dragons. I want some good ole exploration before I delve into the MQ again!




Did you know that you can have the amulet of Mara before you talk to maramal as it is random loot, but you can not get married without first talking to him.

Did you know that, on PC, you can rotate the world map a bit by holding down right-click and moving your mouse to the sides?

Did you know that, on PC, whenever you can press Enter, you can press 'E' instead?

Did you know that you can disable the archery 'auto-aim' through .ini tweaks so arrows behave more realistically?
