The player is not allowed to kill Captain Valmir until after the completion of the “Siege on the Dragon Cult” side quest.

Unfortunately, the rest of the Forsworn in The Reach don’t seem to care about what Madanach says as much as he claims they do.

The “Silenced Tongues” side quest takes place in the same ancient Nordic tomb, Volunruud, that Amaund Motierre appears in during the Dark Brotherhood questline.

After completing the side quest for Soljund’s Sinkhole, players are rewarded with levelled payment in gold.

And you still don’t get caught and also still get awarded for the kill by Aventus!

The player can kill Greold The Kind in the orphanage prior to meeting Aventus Arentino.

Kind of hard to barter with a dead woman, after all.

If players complete the "Bound Until Death" quest during The Dark Brotherhood questline, it is impossible to complete the “The Spiced Wine” side quest.

It does often give players a reason to sneak into the inner sanctum, though.

The player does NOT have to steal the statue of Dibella for the beggar Degaine to start “The Heart of Dibella” side quest.

The “A Love Beyond Death” side quest begins immediately upon entering the ancient nordic tomb, Ansilvund.

The player is asked by the Thalmor Justiciar Ondolemar to find proof of a resident of Markarth worshipping Talos.

During the “Buy Dwarven artifact” side quest, players that have level 50 or higher in their speech skill can persuade or intimidate Calcelmo into buying their Dwemer object for 2.5x its base price.

After finding 20 jazbay grapes for Avrusa Sarethi, players are rewarded with several levelled potions.

The “Blood On The Ice” quest may be broken if players have played through the Civil War questline and given control of Windhelm to the Empire.

There are multiple quests related to Blackreach, including two quests from the Dawnguard DLC.

Blackreach only has one side quest related to it, “A Return To Your Roots”.

While there is a mystery at Frostflow Lighthouse that players can solve, there isn’t actually any side quest related to it.

The player must solve the mystery of what happened at Frostflow Lighthouse during the side quest, "The Frostflow Family Mystery".

The “Kill the Giant” quest is for becoming Thane/purchasing land in The Pale.

In order to purchase land and become Thane in Hjaalmarch, players must complete the “Kill the Giant” quest for the Jarl.

The quest requires players to gather 20 of each item listed above.

Ingun Black-Briar’s fetch quest requires players to gather 10 deathbell, 5 nirnroot, and 15 nightshade.

In order to get the side quest “Grimsever's Return”, players must be at at least level 14.

Danica will be happy either way and reward the player regardless of getting the sap or the sapling for the tree in Whiterun.

When completing “The Blessings of Nature” side quest, players will be punished for bringing Danica a sapling from the Eldergleam instead of sap.
