Stop Hodoring!
I've played well over 1000 hours of Skyrim since it was released and I've been getting to a point where I think I've seen it all and heard it all. However I proved myself wrong yesterday
1) I downloaded the Live Another Life Mod, and I became an apprentice in the Thieves Guild. As a result of this, you miss the encounter with Sapphire when you first enter Riften, you know where she is demanding money from Shadr for a debt.
So, with this mod, I'm in the Thieves Guild and Brynjolf asks me to go and get his money from the three people in Riften, so I do this as normal and encounter Shadr, who mentions the debt. I then see Sapphire in the Bee and Barb (I think) and ask her about the debt.
This time, as I'm already in the guild she offers to split the money with me, rather than just forget about the debt. Which amazed me, because I've completed that task the same way hundreds of times, and I never thought that it could play out differently just because I was in the guild.
2) As I started off in Riften, rather than Helgen. I was given a task from Maven Black-Briar to go to Whiterun and speak to her associate. On the way I thought I'd stop off in Ivarstead.
Now this mission had bugged me for a long time, as I never figured it out and didn't want to look it up. So I go to Shroud Hearth Barrow as usual, go inside, kill Wyndelius who has been scaring the town and take all his stuff.
Only this time I went into the Inn to rent a room, but got talking to the inn keep about the barrow, and by chance I notice new dialogue, and I give the inn keep Wyndelius's Journal. He then rambles a bit, and gives me the Sapphire Dragon Claw, which has alluded me for nearly 2 years!
So in short, after everything I've done in this game, there are still things hidden in there that I'm sure we've all missed even though we've collectively put thousands of hours into the game... Mind was blown...
Sorry for the boringly long post, I had to share
