Bethesda Included a Chest in Skyrim You Were Never Supposed to Use – Did You?
Even after more than a decade since its initial release, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim continues to surprise players with hidden secrets. One such secret is a treasure chest located in Dawnstar, which many believe was never intended to be found by players.
Discovered by accident, this chest offers loot that is scaled to the player’s level. And its potential unintendedness is further supported by the fact that you can actually get some good stuff in it.
