This is a sub-page of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim/Unused Dialogue.

This page houses Skyrim's unused quest dialogue. The text you see here is shown in the same way as the main dialogue page.

Andurs' Amulet#

Andurs, Whiterun's priest of Arkay, has an unused line for when you bring him his lost amulet without talking to him about it. The amulet only spawns once the player has talked to Andurs, so this line is impossible to hear.

Speaker

Text

File

Andurs

Can it be? You've brought me my amulet? Oh, thank Arkay. And thank you. Oh, dear friend, please, take this gold for your troubles.

Animal Pelt Collection#

A cut radiant quest for the Companions, this quest would have you... collect animal pelts for Aela the Huntress.

Speaker

Text

File

Player

I'm looking for work.

Aela

We've got some traders coming in, and are short on Cave Bear pelts.

Aela

We've got some traders coming in, and are short on Bear pelts.

Aela

We've got some traders coming in, and are short on Snow Bear pelts.

Aela

We've got some traders coming in, and are short on Sabre Cat pelts.

Aela

We've got some traders coming in, and are short on Snow Sabre Cat pelts.

Aela

We've got some traders coming in, and are short on Ice Wolf pelts.

Aela

We've got some traders coming in, and are short on Wolf pelts.

Aela

See if you can find some, and I'll try to find some more interesting work by the time you get back.

Player

I'll take care of it.

Aela

Of course you will.

Player

I don't want that job.

Aela

Fine, I'll get someone else to take care of it.

Player

I have the pelts you asked for.

Aela

These look like good quality, too. I know it's not the glamorous, heroic work, but don't be surprised if I ask you to do it again.

Arena#

Originally, if you were to pick the lock on your cell in the Windhelm Bloodworks/Barracks you would get forcegreeted by Huki, informing you about the Pit rules. This would start your path down the Pit "questline". Afterwards, you could freely talk to her about your next fight. If you're on or on a stage higher than 20 but lesser than 40 in the Quest "Mourning Never Comes", than the "I'm ready to go." dialogue changes to the Alain Dufont-related dialogue below.

Speaker

Text

File

Huki

What is this, you think you're clever?

Huki

If you want to fight your way out of here, you have to do it in the Pit.

Huki

Gotta give the crowd a show.

Huki

Luckily there's no shortage of Pit bait around here. Now get in there and earn your freedom.

Huki

All right, meat, it's time for you to earn your freedom.

Player

What do I have to do?

Huki

We don't just let people rot in cells until they've served their time. Here, you fight.

Huki

If you win, you go free.

Huki

If you lose, well, you'll know the freedom of Sovngarde if you're lucky.

Player

I'm ready to go.

Huki

All right. Head to the pit when you think you're ready.

Player

I want to fight Alain Dufont.

Huki

Well aren't you in luck. He's the next piece of gutter scum on the docket. Between you and me, I hope you cleave his arrogant head open.

Boethiah's Bidding#

A second part of Boethiah's quest that's deliberately blocked off by nonsensical conditions. This part of the quest would have you going to Solitude with the purpose of assassinating Jarl Elisif the Fair.

This dialogue was meant to play when equipping the Ebony Mail, similar to Boethiah's dialogue in the final game.

Speaker

Text

File

Voice of Boethiah

You have earned the right to call yourself my Champion.

Voice of Boethiah

And now you must perform the task for which I created you. You have already proven to possess the needed skills.

Voice of Boethiah

Go to Solitude. Stalk the Jarl and slay her.

Voice of Boethiah

I have spread rumors of an assassin. It will make your job harder, but will allow me to place blame where I desire it.

Voice of Boethiah

You will need stealth and lies to get past her guards. You will assassinate her swiftly and quietly. And if combat finds you, survive the escape.

Voice of Boethiah

Succeed, and you may keep your title and my armor, and I shall write your name upon the Tablet of Absolute Blackness.

Voice of Boethiah

Failure is not an option.

Upon entering the Blue Palace, you would've been forcegreeted by a generic guard. They would've told you that the Jarl isn't receiving visitors, from there on it's up to you to find a way to proceed. The guard would accompany you until you found a way.

Speaker

Text

File

Guard

I've been instructed to tell all visitors that the Lady Elisif isn't feeling well. She wishes you a good day, and please call again another time.

[[File:

Guard

Guard

Guard

You need an escort at all times.

Guard

Guard

Guard

Come back here!

Guard

Guard

It's unknown where exactly this line would've been said, but it's likely that the guard escorting you would've said it while near Elisif's private quarters.

Speaker

Text

File

Guard

Private quarters are strictly off limits. You have been warned.

Guard

Guard

You could also speak to the various people in the Blue Palace and ask what's wrong with the Jarl. The servants, Una and Erdi, will explain to you how she has locked herself in her room and that only they have the key.

Speaker

Text

File

Player

What's wrong with the Jarl?

Una

She's locked herself in her room not letting anyone in. Well, except for us servants. She's afraid of assassins coming to get her.

Una

Even still, I make a point of announcing myself when I enter her room now. I spooked her so bad last time she almost threw the chamber pot at me!

Erdi

Erdi

Player

Assassins? Really? That's ridiculous. Who would want to kill her?

Una

Not so ridiculous, really. I know people don't think much of her. But she is the Jarl after all. Plenty of folk would kill to be in her shoes.

Erdi

Player

She lets the servants in? Seems like a gap in security that could be exploited.

Una

Well, she needs to eat. I don't think she even knows where the kitchen is. And milady isn't exactly going to remove her own chamber pot, now is she?

Una

It hardly matters though. The door to the stairs is securely locked. There's no way anyone without the key can get in. So don't you worry about it.

Erdi

Erdi

Player

The lock could be weaker than it looks. May I see the key?

Una

I suppose so. But believe me. Only us servants have a key like that, and its a very expensive looking lock. Really, I wouldn't worry about it.

Una

Here. Take a look for yourself. But give it back soon. It's almost time for milady's medicine.

Erdi

Erdi

You could also speak to Elisif through the locked door of her private quarters, but she'd be too paranoid to let you in.

Speaker

Text

File

Elisif

I'm not taking any visitors.

Elisif

Please, just go away!

Elisif

Leave - me - a - lone!

Elisif

Go away!

Like the servants, you could've asked the various members of the court about the Jarl as well. Any of them could be your escort to her.

Speaker

Text

File

Player

What's wrong with the Jarl?

Falk Firebeard/Odar

She's telling everyone she's sick. But she's really locked herself in her room because she fears an assassin is out to get her.

Gisli

Bolgeir Bearclaw/Irnskar Ironhand

Sybille Stentor

Melaran

Bryling

Player

Assassins? Really? That's ridiculous. Who would want to kill her?

Falk Firebeard/Odar

I know. The poor girl's fright has left her bereft of reason. But there's no talking her out of it. I fear she'll be locked in there for days.

Gisli

Bolgeir Bearclaw/Irnskar Ironhand

Sybille Stentor

Melaran

Bryling

Player

Maybe she'd feel safer with a personal bodyguard? I could do that.

Falk Firebeard/Odar

I bet she would feel safer. And hopefully you wouldn't have to baby sit her for long. Once she calms down, she might start thinking straight again.

Falk Firebeard/Odar

Let's go talk with her. Stay close. Talk of assassins has the guards jumpy. They might attack you if you're not standing near me.

Guard

Damn it, I lost her! Protect the Jarl!

Guard

Guard

Protect the Jarl!

Guard

Guard

This dialogue was meant to be said by Boethiah after you killed Elisif. Boethiah would use her body as a conduit in order to talk to you. The lines are very similar to the lines said by Boethiah at the end of her quest in the finished game.

Speaker

Text

File

Voice of Boethiah

You have done well, my Champion. You have earned my respect, a feat few manage and live to tell about it.

[[File:

Gabriella

There, the body will be discovered quickly, as will the letter implicating Gaius Maro and the Stormcloaks in the Emperor's assassination.

Gabriella

Do that, and Astrid has authorized me to grant you a rather unique bonus. It is a special token, to be given to Olava the Feeble, in Whiterun.

Gabriella

Olava is an old and dear friend, and a powerful seer. The token entitles you to a reading of your future. It's an opportunity one should not pass up.

Collecting the Edda#

This cut Bards College quest would've been the followup of Tending the Flames. You would receive this quest from Giraud Gemane after completing the aforementioned quest. In this quest, you would seek out bards in Skyrim for their part of the Poetic Edda. Upon collecting every last piece, you would then return to Giraud for your reward.

Speaker

Text

File

Player

Is the Edda complete now that you have King Olaf's Verse?

Giraud

The Poetic Edda is never truly complete. As a living history of Skyrim we Bards continually add parts to it.

Giraud

In fact, If you collected parts of the Edda from any Bard you encountered in your travels I would be willing to pay you for them.

Player

I can do that.

Giraud

Wonderful. Just speak to various bards outside of the college, get there parts of the Poetic Edda and return them here to me.

Player

Maybe later.

Giraud

Come back to me if you change your mind.

Player

I've collected some of the Edda for you.

Giraud

Wonderful. Soon we'll have the latest section of the Edda complete. Keep up the good work.

Giraud

That's it! You've collected every last verse. I can't thank you enough. This deserves a special bonus.

This dialogue doesn't specify the speaker, it's recorded for every NPC's voicetype that is in the JobBardFaction.

Delayed Burial Alternate Startup#

This scene between Uthgerd the Unbroken and Skulvar Sable-Hilt was supposed to play when first passing by the Whiterun Stables. Overhearing it would've functioned as an alternate way of starting the quest Delayed Burial.

Speaker

Text

File

Uthgerd

By Ysmir, it's true. A jester - funny suit and all. Just north, by the Loreius Farm. Fool had a coffin in a cart, with a broken wheel.

Uthgerd

Like to see him laugh his way out that.

Uthgerd

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Skulvar

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Skulvar

Well, sounds like you've had quite the journey, Uthgerd. But you were gone longer than usual. I got to thinking maybe you weren't coming back...

Uthgerd

You sound like my ma. Figured I was lying dead in a field somewhere, is that it?

Skulvar

Thought did cross my mind, yeah. War brewing, talk of a riot in Helgen, and now jesters? Skyrim's gone mad, girl. You need to be careful out there.

Uthgerd

Careful, huh? Thanks, Skulvar. I'll remember that. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Drowned Sorrows Aftermath#

This alternate version of Birna's response should play after finishing the quest Drowned Sorrows, but since the script never updates, it goes unused.

Speaker

Text

File

Player

Why set up shop here?

Birna

Wasn't by choice, I can tell you that.

Birna

Options were in short supply. Ranmir and I grew up here, and his drinking soaked up whatever coin we had.

Birna

So I opened a shop to try and get by. Now, though...

Birna

Have to admit, I'm attached to the place. Suppose that makes me crazy, doesn't it?

Filling Soul Gems#

This cut College of Winterhold had you, obviously, filling soul gems for Sergius Turrianus. How delightful.

Speaker

Text

File

Player

Is there any College business I can help with?

Sergius

In fact, there is. I need a soul gem filled, if you're up to it.

Player

Maybe some other time.

Sergius

Some other time? That's not going to help me much, now is it?

Player

I can take care of that for you.

Sergius

Here, take this Grand Soul Gem, fill it for me, and bring it right back. I'll be waiting.

Player

You needed a soul gem filled?

Sergius

Yes, a Grand one. Soon, please.

Player

Here's the soul gem you asked for.

Sergius

Excellent. Thank you, I'll see that this gets put to good use.

Ill Met by Moonlight Unused Dialogue#

J'Kier#

J'Kier is one of the hunters sent by Hircine during Ill Met By Moonlight, he suffers from a scripted death however, meaning these lines can never be heard.

Speaker

Text

File

J'Kier

May Hircine guide our blades.

J'Kier

We follow you, hunt-master.

Innocence Lost Aftermath#

After completing Innocence Lost, Angrenor Once-Honored was supposed to move into the Aretino Residence. Since this never actually happens in the final game, these lines go unheard.

Speaker

Text

File

Angrenor

What? Were you hoping to claim this house for yourself? Well, the Aretinos always liked me, so I think I'm family enough to take up here.

Angrenor

Rumor holds that the Aretino boy brought an assassin here. Sounds like nonsense to me.

Angrenor

The milk drinkers in this town wouldn't last five minutes in a real battle.

Lights Out! Unused Scenario#

This quest was seemingly reconstructed late in development, as many dialogue lines refer to quest stages that no longer exist. One such removed portion would've had the player help Ma'zaka (the Khajiit keeper of Solitude Lighthouse) and the local guards put a stop to the Blackblood Marauders.

Captain Aldis at the Wreck of the Icerunner#

Captain Aldis would've appeared at the wreck of the Icerunner once it had ran aground and he would aid the player in defeating the bandits.

Speaker

Text

File

Player

Who are you?

Aldis

You're the one Mazzaka described to me.

Player

Who are you?

Aldis

I'm Captain Aldis. I'm here to help you take down these bandits.

Player

Just you?

Aldis

We're stretched thin in Solitude, and I don't expect these bandits to be much challenge. Are you ready?

Player

Let's take them out.

Aldis

With pleasure.

Deeja's Defeat#

While fighting Deeja, she would've entered bleedout state (kneeling on the ground and yielding) and the player would've had the choice of either killing her or letting her live and locking her up. Captain Aldis would've reacted different to the choice that the player made but, for some reason, the dialogue was recorded in the MaleArgonian voicetype and attached Jaree-Ra instead. Deeja also had unique dialogue for this event, but none remains in the files.

Speaker

Text

File

Player

Looks like Deeja won't be bothering us again.

Aldis

Good riddance.

Player

Deeja will need to be locked up.

Aldis

I'll take care of it.

Aldis

I've been away from Solitude for as long as I can. But if you decide to finish these bandits off, you'll be rewarded for your efforts.

Confront Jaree#

The player was supposed to be confronted by Jaree-Ra at the end of the quest. In the final game, he just attacks you, but if you sneak up on him without him turning hostile, it is still possible to have the first confrontation play out.

Confrontation 1#

This confrontation can still happen if the player sneaks up on Jaree without making him hostile. The player had a line of dialogue after Jaree's first line, but the text got removed, resulting in the line appearing as ellipses in-game. It likely talked about loot though, if Jaree's answer is anything to go by.

Speaker

Text

File

Jaree

First you murder my sister, then you massacre my men!

Player

Jaree

To Oblivion with your loot! This ends now!

Confrontation 2#

This confrontation is deliberately made unavailable by an unattainable quest stage. It would've been used if the player worked with the guards and, strangely enough, the player's dialogue didn't get removed for this confrontation.

Speaker

Text

File

Jaree

You've betrayed me, murdered my sister and massacred my men!

Player

And now it's your turn.

Jaree

You don't have what it takes to kill me.

Ending#

The player could've reported back to Captain Aldis in Solitude after defeating the bandits, and they would've received 200 septims from him.

Speaker

Text

File

Player

I dealt with the rest of the bandits.

Aldis

It's appreciated. The captains around here will have one less thing to worry about. Here's your reward.

Lod's Lot#

This short quest was originally offered to you by Lod, he would've asked for you to buy a book from him. The book in question, however, was stolen from a grave. There doesn't appear to be an option for denying the book, but after accepting you would've gotten a quest update telling you to turn Lod in to Kust.

Speaker

Text

File

Lod

Hey friend, you wouldn't happen to be looking for unusual items would you?

Player

What sort of items?

Lod

First off, let's keep this between us. I picked these up from the graves in town so don't go blabbing about it to Kust.

Lod

You have to understand, Gentle Repose is a fallow festering place I should have left a long time ago. This is one of the few ways I make any money.

Lod

Right now I've got a book that I think you might like.

Player

A book?

Lod

Yeah, if your interested then I'll give you the book for free. If you like it you can come back later and I'll have other stuff.

Lod

I mean, it don't cost me anything to let you have one and the dead won't notice their stuff missing. heh.

Player

Sure, I'll take the book.

Lod

Great. Here you go. Come back later and I'll have other things.

Player

Lod has a book he stole from a grave.

Kust

I knew something was up. I'll make sure he doesn't disrespect this place anymore. Honesty is a rare thing to find these days. Thank you.

Missing in Action Unused Dialogue#

Eorlund Gray-Mane#

There are 2 lines in possession of Eorlund which can never be used. They were supposedly for the quest Missing In Action (MS07) but the conditions are set to only work during the quest In My Time Of Need (MS08). Even stranger is the second condition dictating that it can only play during stage 1000 (which does not exist), these odd conditions guarantee that these lines never get heard.

Speaker

Text

File

Eorlund

We Gray-Manes got just as much to be proud of as them Battle-Borns, but you won't see us with our noses in the air.

Eorlund

My poor Fralia thinks Thorald's still alive, but I know better.

Narzulbur Freeform Quest#

This unnamed quest, internally known as "NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuest", would've explored the story of Chief Mauhulakh of Narzulbur and his bad luck with his wives. The player would have to return an old flame, named Uglarz, to him. No player dialogue remains of this quest, but the story can still be puzzled together by the remaining NPC dialogue.

Mauhulakh's Dialogue#

Speaker

Text

File

Mauhulakh

The mine is rich, and so are we.

Mauhulakh

But I am cursed, it would seem, to live alone.

Mauhulakh

I've had several wives. But each dies sooner than the last.

Mauhulakh

I was lucky to get children out of the ones I did.

Mauhulakh

Everyone said it had run out, but I smashed down one wall and found the widest veins of ebony I'd ever seen.

Mauhulakh

So now we're rich and now I'm chief.

Mauhulakh

I think of Uglarz. An old friend. When we were little she ran to the woods to hunt, and never came back.

Mauhulakh

If someone found her, she would make an excellent mate.

Mauhulakh

Ha. Good luck to you, friend. She's not one who likes to be found.

Uglarz' Dialogue#

Speaker

Text

File

Uglarz

I am Uglarz, huntress of all.

Uglarz

It was my home. But I left. The woods felt more alive, at least for a time.

Uglarz

Mauhulakh. I remember him. Little, scrawny, fellow.

Uglarz

Ha! Now that I would like to see. I may go back there some day.

Uglarz

Always thought that old mine had more to it. Just like Mauhulakh to smash his way to good fortune.

Uglarz

I'm going back to Narzulbur. Want to see how it's come.

Aftermath Dialogue#

Practically everyone important in the stronghold would've voiced their opinion on their chief's new mate after finishing the quest, some happier than others.

Speaker

Text

File

Mauhulakh

I am proud to have a mate to share in my blessings.

Mauhulakh

I'm hoping this wife can outlast the winter.

Bolar

All my auguring never predicted this. A woman for Mauhulakh, eh? We'll see how this goes.

Yatul

Well at least now Mauhulakh has nothing to whine about. Until this one dies, too.

Urog

Uglarz is a great huntress. Perhaps she can teach me something new.

Urog

I never would have thought, but Uglarz is an even better hunter than Yatul was. The things I'm learning now...

Dushnamub

Glad my father seems to have found someone. I just hope she can hold her own against my aunts.

Dushnamub

I think I like this new mate of my father's. I mean... nothing like that. I just think she's nice.

Uglarz

You were right about this place. And about Mauhulakh.

Uglarz

This was worth coming back for.

Uglarz

Urog is a good learner. I'm glad I have the chance to teach her. Makes me not miss the woods as much.

Uglarz

Urog and I still hunt a lot, so it's not like I'm cooped up in the longhouse.

Proving Honor Unused Dialogue#

Originally, it was possible to ask the members of The Circle what it was like to be a werewolf. Before being inducted in The Circle yourself, your question would get rejected. After becoming a member you would get a full response with everyone's honest thoughts. Skjor's dialogue still gets referenced in the final game when talking to Kodlak, where one of your responses is "Skjor said it was a blessing from Hircine." All the dialogue is deliberately blocked off with nonsensical conditions.

Rejections#

Speaker

Text

Player

What's it like being a werewolf?

Kodlak

How did you... you reach beyond your station, new blood. Let's wait and see how we judge your Trial before speaking further.

Aela

You shouldn't even know about that. Remember you're not a full Companion yet, whelp. Know your place.

Aela

What did I tell you? Keep quiet about that.

Farkas

I think there are some things that... oh, wait. Are you trying to trick me? You are not a full-blood yet. We can't talk about that.

Farkas

We should not be talking about that.

Vilkas

I don't know what you're talking about. But if I were you, I'd hold my tongue.

Skjor

I don't know who you've been talking to, but they were clearly mistaken.

Skjor

Especially for a new whelp, you should choose your words more carefully.

Full Responses#

Speaker

Text

File

Player

What's it like being a werewolf?

Kodlak

For me, a heavy burden.

Kodlak

The beastblood has given me prowess, but my soul is now forfeit to Hircine upon my death.

Kodlak

I keep searching for some hope of Sovngarde, but to no avail.

Skjor

A sensitive question. You may want to be careful broaching that subject with some.

Skjor

The old man and I have our differences when it comes to this. It's a blessing, given by Hircine.

Skjor

To worry about the hereafter means losing sight of the now.

Skjor

What do I care about Sovngarde? Give me the power to tear my foes as a beast of the wild, and I will savor it.

Aela

I was raised in the woods. Hunting every animal I could see, with my father. I know them all as well as I know my own mind.

Aela

And when I feel myself filling with the blood of the wolf... it's like I'm bringing all the strength of all the beasts inside me.

Aela

But my mind and soul remain my own. I become more than either human or beast.

Aela

It's like being born. Every time.

Vilkas

I've enjoyed the boons that come with beastblood. Just like every member of the Circle.

Vilkas

Kodlak is right, though. We've given a piece of our souls for this power. I know my mythic histories. Bargains like that lead to ruin.

Vilkas

This is a curse that was laid upon us. That much is clear.

Farkas

I like being stronger when I become the wolf. But Kodlak says it is bad for the soul, and I trust him.

Research Thief#

One of multiple cut College of Winterhold quests, in this quest, you would've been sent by Nirya to steal some notes from Faralda. You could've either turned the notes in to Nirya, or you could rat out Nirya to Faralda.

Nirya's Dialogue#

Speaker

Text

File

Player

You look like you could use some help.

Nirya

Well, I suppose I could use a hand with something, yes.

Nirya

Faralda's working on something, and I want to know what it is.

Nirya

I want her notes. You think you could get them for me, without her knowing?

Player

Isn't that stealing?

Nirya

Yes, yes it is.

Nirya

You have a problem with that?

Nirya

Look, either you get the notes or I'll figure out another way to do it. Just come find me if you can get your hands on them.

Player

What's in it for me?

Nirya

I'll throw some money at you. Good enough?

Nirya

Just get the notes and bring them to me. If you can't do it, I'll find some other way to manage it.

Nirya

I'm still waiting for those notes, if you can get them.

Player

Here are the notes you wanted.

Nirya

Good, good. She didn't see you take them?

Nirya

Al right, this should be enough to figure out what she's up to. Then I can make sure it doesn't work.

Nirya

Good work. Here, take this, and keep quiet.

Faralda's Dialogue#

Speaker

Text

File

Player

Nirya wanted me to steal your notes.

Faralda

She what?

Faralda

Oh, I should've known she'd try it again!

Faralda

Thanks for warning me. I'll see to it this is taken care of.

Rogue Wizard#

Another of the many cut College of Winterhold quests, Rogue Wizard had you dealing with a College member that terrorised a hold for the Jarl of that hold. (The quest would have been repeatable)

Tolfdir's Dialogue#

Speaker

Text

File

Player

Is there anything I should be aware of?

Tolfdir

I'm afraid so. There's a problem with one of the Jarls here in Skyrim.

Tolfdir

He's been complaining of a member of the College running amok in his hold.

Tolfdir

She's been complaining of a member of the College running amok in her hold.

Tolfdir

We have, of course, severed all ties with the mage in question, but the Jarl isn't appeased.

Tolfdir

So, the mage needs to be "taken care of," if you understand me.

Tolfdir

I would hate to see our reputation further tarnished.

Player

The Jarl has been appeased.

Tolfdir

Very good. I hope this will allow us to maintain our reputation.

Leftover Dialogue#

There are 2 leftover topics which do not have any response from Tolfdir. The first one would've appeared after Tolfdir's "I would hate to see our reputation further tarnished.". The second one is nameless and it's unknown when it would've appeared, although it's likely that it would've appeared after Tolfdir's "So, the mage needs to be "taken care of," if you understand me.".

Runil's Dark Past#

Runil's Dark Past is another one of Falkreath's cut quests, in the quest, you would've found out that Runil is troubled from one his friends, once you knew, you would've been able to talk to him about it and either keep his secret or tell his friends. There's no remaining dialogue for actually receiving the quest, only dialogue from there on after remains. It's also unknown what would've happened after the quest would've played out.

Runil's Dialogue#

Speaker

Text

File

Player

Some of your friends feel you're troubled.

Runil

Burying the past is much harder than burying remains. I'm... I'm afraid of what you will think of me if I tell you about the things I've done.

Player

Go on.

Runil

Although I have not practiced in a long time I was once a wizard. Even when I was young my magic was undeniably powerful.

Runil

It was that power that brought me to the attention of the Thalmor. In the Summerset Isles it is a great honor to be chosen to serve the Thalmor.

Player

The Thalmor?

Runil

They are the governing council of the Aldmeri Dominion. They lead us to attack the Empire and forced the Empire to agree to stop worshiping Talos.

Runil

It was during the war with the Empire that I was at the height of my power. As a Thalmor battlemage I laid waste the enemy.

Runil

Men, women, children, no one was spared my wrath. I destroyed whole villages.

Player

And you're afraid your friends will find out?

Runil

I dream about those days still. Except I'm not me. I can see myself there and I try to stop what I know is going to happen but...

Runil

Many of the Empire's troops were Nords at that point. Some of them could even have been from around here.

Player

Your secret is safe with me.

Runil

Thank you. May Arkay bless you. I won't forget this.

Runil's Friends' Dialogue#

While there doesn't seem to be an option remaining in Runil's dialogue above, you would've been able to tell Kust, Mathies and Indara Caerellia about his secret. They all share the same reaction.

Speaker

Runil was one of the Thalmor during the war...

Soljund's Sinkhole Unused Dialogue#

The quest of the same name started at Soljund's Sinkhole has a couple of different bugs, resulting in some of Perth, the quest giver's, dialogue going unused. Because the quest initiates as soon as you ask Perth about the mine, he will immediately close dialogue with you. You were supposed to have the option of either accepting or denying the quest. Due to bad scripting, his responses are left unheard.

Speaker

Text

Player

I'll handle those draugr for you.

Perth

You're joking, right? Those bone-walkers will tear you limb from limb.

Perth

But if you want to get yourself killed, go ahead.

Player

I'll stay out, then.

Perth

Good to hear.

Supply Line#

At one point during development, you were able to help brothers Borvir and Rundi deliver their new mead to inns around Skyrim. In the final game, both Borvir and Rundi end up dead.

Rundi's Dialogue#

Speaker

Text

File

Player

How's the meadery working out?

Rundi

It's tough, with just the two of us.

Rundi

There's hardly ever time to make the occasional delivery to the taverns of Skyrim.

Rundi

We could use a pair of hands and a strong back. There'd be a little coin in it for you.

Player

I can certainly help.

Rundi

That'd be great. There's a case of our soon-to-be famous mead that needs to get to Winterhold. Get it there, and you can keep the delivery fee.

Player

Need me to deliver any more mead?

Rundi

Indeed I do.

Rundi

I need you to take a case of mead to the Frozen Hearth in Winterhold. The delivery fee is yours to keep.

Rundi

Another case of mead needs to find its way to the Bannered Mare in Whiterun. The delivery fee is yours to keep.

Rundi

Candlehearth Hall is running low on our famous mead. Can you drop off this case? The gold is yours, as always.

Innkeeper Dialogue#

This reaction dialogue is the same for every possible innkeeper and backup innkeeper target. Since the possible destinations are Candlehearth Hall, The Frozen Hearth and The Bannered Mare, these NPCs include Elda Early-Dawn, Nils, Dagur, Hulda, and (because the game doesn't really have a clear definition on who is Whiterun's backup innkeeper) Saadia.

Under Saarthal Unused Dialogue#

Saarthal Miners#

There were to be miners present in Saarthal during the quest "Under Saarthal". There would've been two kinds of miners, Bosmer miners and Dunmer miners. The Bosmer would have had the MaleCoward voicetype while the Dunmer would've had the MaleDarkElf voicetype. They shared 5 lines of dialogue.

The Cursed Tribe#

This is Malacath's Daedric quest, and while it appears in the final game, it's filled with plot holes and inconsistencies. This is due to the fact that the quest was hastily reworked at a later point in development. An earlier iteration of the quest's dialogue is still stored inside the finalized lines, conditioned properly and all.

Speaker

Player

What sort of help do you need?

Atub

Our chief is weakened. He will not rest, will not sleep. He suffers, and so the tribe suffers.

SR DA06 DA06Stage20AtubQuesti 0003BDCC 1

Atub

Yamarz is proud, and refuses to see that we need outside help.

SR DA06 DA06Stage20AtubQuesti 0003BDCC 2

Atub

He needs someone to confide in. If it will not be one of us, perhaps it will be you. Go to him.

SR DA06 DA06Stage20AtubQuesti 0003BDCC 3

Player

How long has Yamarz been cursed?

Atub

Almost ever since he became leader of the tribe.

Atub

He killed Shagrol in combat, which none of us thought possible. But the winner is made Chief. That is how it is done.

The Missing Apprentices#

In this cut College of Winterhold quest, you would've helped locate four missing Apprentices from the previous group for Phinis Gestor. You would've gathered items from them and returned these to Phinis. Borvir and Rundi seem to have been repurposed for this quest.

Speaker

Text

File

Player

You said something about missing Apprentices?

Phinis

Ah, that. Yes, the group prior to yours has disappeared entirely.

Phinis

It's possible that there was less than the necessary amount of oversight. That's still being looked into.

Phinis

But we've had no contact with them for quite some time now.

Phinis

Arniel wondered if perhaps they'd somehow managed to get themselves lost in the Outer Realms, but I think that's giving them too much credit.

Player

Where could they have gone?

Phinis

I'm not sure. None of them were working on anything terribly dangerous.

Player

How long have they been missing?

Phinis

I hadn't really considered it in terms of time. I suppose it's been at least a month.

Phinis

Let me think... what were they working on?

Phinis

As I recall, Yisra was trying to improve flame cloak spells to better work in Skyrim's harsh environment.

Phinis

Ilas-tei was practicing Illusions spells. She was having trouble with the calm spells, I believe, but only ever worked with skeevers.

Phinis

And then there's Borvir and Rundi. Twins, though they rarely agreed on anything.

Phinis

Those two boys were obsessed with mead. Convinced they could concoct something to compete with Honningbrew.

Phinis

Something about using frost magic to chill the mead for a certain period of time. I felt it was a waste, but the Arch-Mage let them proceed.

Player

Any word from the missing Apprentices?

Phinis

None. It's been long enough that honestly, I don't expect to hear from them.

Phinis

No, and after what you've discovered I fear the worst for them.

Player

I found this. It belonged to Borvir.

Phinis

Yes, I recognize it.

Phinis

Well, I suppose I needn't wonder where he is anymore.

Player

I found this. It's Rundi's, isn't it?

Phinis

It certainly is. Was, I suppose.

Phinis

He would never have willingly parted with it. What a shame.

Player

I found Ilas-tei. Here's proof.

Phinis

Oh dear.

Phinis

I had particularly high hopes for her. Once she'd overcome her difficulties, she could have been quite successful here.

Player

I'm afraid Yisra didn't survive.

Phinis

Gods, this is hers, isn't it?

Phinis

She will certainly be missed.

Phinis

Well, all of the previous Apprentices have been accounted for, thanks to you.

Phinis

Here, why don't you take this. It was intended to be given to the best in their group as a reward for their hard work.

Phinis

It's the least I can do for your help in putting this matter to rest.

Phinis

Oh dear, I didn't mean to say it like that. That wasn't a joke, really.

Trius' Trinket#

In this cut quest, you would've found a man named Trius at his camp near Pilgrim's Trench. He would've asked for your help searching a sunken ship for a jewelry box, only player dialogue remains.

What's going on here?

Player

Trouble?

Thane of Haafingar#

Dialogue for this quest is also recorded in the FemaleCommander voice type, this and a relevant faction link indiciate it was meant to be said by Thane Bryling. In the final game, however, there is no point at which Bryling can become jarl.

Speaker

Text

Player

It would be an honor.

Bryling

Good luck to you.

Player

I'll have to do that some other time.

Bryling

Very well.

Bryling

Then by my right as Jarl, I name you Thane of Haafingar. Congratulations.

Bryling

I grant you a personal Housecarl to watch over your home and this weapon from my armory to serve as your badge of office.

Bryling

I'll also notify my guards of your new title. Wouldn't want them to think you're part of the common rabble, now.
