* BossAlteringConsequence: In the ''Dawnguard'' DLC, during the final battle with [[VampireMonarch Lord Harkon]], you are [[ShmuckBait given the option]] of handing [[MacGuffin Auriel's Bow]] over to him when he demands it. Naturally, [[BlatantLies he has no intention of actually sparing you]], even if you comply, and the battle proceeds as usual, but it becomes more difficult and drawn-out, as the Bow is required to interrupt his healing.

* BorrowingFromTheSisterSeries: After the previous four games in the main series featured a ClassAndLevelSystem, Bethesda brought in a SkillScoresAndPerks system for ''Skyrim'', similar to what Bethesda's acquired ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series has featured since its inception.

** Heavy armor zigzags it. While almost every suit of armor completely covers the skin, some suits of armor do have very prominent boob-curves, such as Steel Plate armor, while other suits have them but they're not very noticeable, such as with Iron armor and Daedric armor. Steel and especially Dwarven armor completely avert it, by giving women the same armor models as the men have, only smaller to make them form-fitting (which isn't saying much in the case of Dwarven armor--form-fitting or not, you still walk around in a suit of armor the [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} Brotherhood of Steel]] would be proud of).

*ADogNamedPerro: In "The Circle", senior members of the [[AdventureGuild Companions]] are actually [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]]. Several of their names simply translate to "wolf" or "werewolf" in another language, doubling as a BilingualBonus. Kodlak comes from Vlkodlak, which is Czech for werewolf. The brothers Farkas and Vilkas names mean "wolf" in [[UsefulNotes/{{Hungary}} Hungarian]] and [[UsefulNotes/{{Lithuania}} Lithuanian]], respectively.

* BlackComedy: Some dialogues from quests and [=NPCs=] may come off with this, but the most notable case is the introduction where an unfortunate Stormcloak delivers this line to the Headsman before his execution:
-->'''Stormcloak Soldier''': My ancestors are smiling at me. Can you say the same? [[[OffWithHisHead chop]]]
