Skyrim:Unfinished Quests

This page lists quests that were meant to be included in Skyrim, but didn't make it to the finished version of the game. All that remains of the quests now are journal entries that can't be triggered. They can still be accessed by using console commands. However, since these quests are locked for a reason (like incompatibility with other quests), it is best not to access them. Some quests involve unused NPCs.

Boethiah's Bidding

This would have been a second quest given to you by Boethiah, after you complete Boethiah's Calling and become her champion. You would have had to assassinate the Jarl of Solitude, Elisif the Fair using stealth, deceit and guile. However, as Elisif is essential even after the quest is started, there is no way to kill her.

Rogue Wizard

This would have been a quest to kill a rogue wizard. The wizard could have appeared in any warlock lair or draugr crypt that had a boss in it. In its current state of development, there is no reward for the quest.

The Missing Apprentices

This was to be a quest to find the four missing apprentices of Phinis Gestor. The four students, Borvir, Ilas-Tei, Rundi, and Yisra, can be found dead around Skyrim. They each have an item which identifies them (e.g. Rundi's Dagger), which you would have had to bring to Phinis to prove their fate.

Collecting the Edda

This quest would have seen you collecting pieces of the Poetic Edda from bards you meet across Skyrim. The Poetic Edda is a living history of Skyrim, written by each bard studying at the Bards College. This quest would most likely have been acquired after finishing Tending the Flames.

e3demo

This quest was used in the E3 demo. The parts of it are: a scene about a fox and a hare, some wolves, and a dragon attack. After that is a part very similar to the dungeon portion of the quest Bleak Falls Barrow. Finally there is a giant which gets carried away by a dragon after which a second dragon is attacking. This quest was used in the official gameplay video released by Bethesda.

Lod's Lot

This quest would have been similar to this quest, but the two quests are actually separate. In this quest you would have bought a book off Lod that has something in it that is of interest to Kust, so you would give him the book. Whatever this book is, it is not found in-game and there is no way of starting this quest.

This quest was supposed to have Rundi and Borvir open up Frost River Farm, a popular meadery near Winterhold. The objective was to bring their popular Frost River Mead to various innkeepers all over Skyrim. However, the quest was skipped and Runil and Borvir both ended up dead in the final game.

Trius' Trinket

This would have been a quest where, upon meeting Trius outside a shipwreck, he asks you to search it for a jewelry box. Returning it to him would have given you a new spell. However, Trius does not appear in-game.
