| The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim |
|---|
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios This game has unused areas. |
Skyrim is the fifth entry in the extremely popular Elder Scrolls series, in which you play as the Dragonborn or Dovahkiin – a person bestowed with the ability of killing dragons by absorbing their souls and using their powers. Oh, and it turns out they're back. And causing a whole load of trouble.

Subpages
| Unused Dialogue About 30% of all the recorded dialogue. Huh.. almost seems like the game was rushed.. |
| Unused NPCs Ever felt like Skyrim was empty? |
| Scrapped Quests Quality over quantity? Doesn't really feel like it. |
| The Pit An arena removed from the main game. There's actually a lot of stuff left behind. |
| Civil War The civil war seen in the final game is only a fraction of the original dynamic vision. |
Add-ons
| Dawnguard Debug stuff and carriage drivers. |
| Hearthfire Very likely that this page will get more use than the actual add-on. |
| Dragonborn More Miraak and.. spider followers. |
Quick Start
There is a simple debug option in the script data for the introduction quest ('Unbound') to skip it in various ways, for ease of testing. Look in the script for Unbound (MQ101) for a variable called MQQuickStart. By default it is set to 0, but changing the default state of this variable will alter the state the game begins in.
- 0: The game starts normally. Default.
- 1: The game attempts to start after the cart ride, but something appears to be broken.
- 2: The game starts at the very beginning of the Helgen Keep dungeon, right after you've chosen who to follow.
- 3: The game starts at the very end of the Helgen Keep dungeon with a basic set of equipment pre-set to your character.
- 4: Seemingly the same as option 2?
Options 2-4 will pop up a dialogue box on game start asking whether you want to follow the Imperial (Hadvar) or the Stormcloak (Ralof).
Fallout Remnants
In the game files, there are several remnants of Fallout features, such as the Pip-Boy, the VATS system, and hacking. These can be viewed in the Creation Kit, although they are completely blank.
Changed & Removed Locations
Barleydark Farm
A farm that was supposed to appear in Whiterun Hold. Unused npc Mithorpa Nasyal would've appeared here. The related key refers to the location as 'Mithorpa's House'.
Bear's Cave Mill
A mill that would've appeared in Falkreath Hold. Eyldi the Bear and guards would've appeared here.
Darkwater Crossing
Darkwater Crossing was meant to have at least one other building located there. Simply known as 'Crossinghouse', it seemed to function as the house of Tormir and her daughter Hrefna. Sondas Drenim was at one point meant to be the innkeeper of an unknown inn. Two npc's named Meieran and Dasturn are also mentioned in dialogue only.
Farrfalk Mansion
Farrfalk Mansion was supposed to appear in Falkreath, nothing more is known about it.
Frost River Farm
A farm that was supposed to appear in Hjaalmarch. The npc's Borvir and Rundi would appear at this location and offer you radiant delivery quests. Both of them end up dead in the final game.
Granite Hill
Granite Hill would've been Skyrim's version of the town of Granitehalls, which first appeared in The Elder Scrolls I: Arena. Not much is known about it.
Heljarchen
Heljarchen would've been Skyrim's version of the town of Helarchen Creek, which first appeared in The Elder Scrolls I: Arena. Unused keys, scripting and location data reveal that the town would've had at least 2 farmhouses, an apothecary, and a blacksmith. The town would've also had an inn, The Nightgate Inn, which still appears in the final game as the final remnant. At least 6 removed npc's are known to have inhabited the town.
Irontree Mill
A mill that was supposed to appear in Haafingar. Two unused brothers and guards were supposed to appear here. The location data refers to this place as 'Irontree Lumber Mill'. The house at the site would've been named Trilf's house.
Maiden-Loom Manor
Maiden-Loom Manor was supposed to be the house of the Whiterun resident Lillith Maiden-Loom. The key to the house still exists but isn't carried by Lillith.
Old Hroldan
Old Hroldan was meant to be a whole separate town, rather just the Old Hroldan Inn. Not much is known about its early layout, but the Old Hroldan Inn was known as the 'Hanged Mann Inn' at one point.
Stonehills
Stonehills still appears in the final game, but was originally a lot bigger. Three of the workers in the final game still carry the key to a non-existent Longhouse. This Longhouse originally housed the workers, rather than just tents. Gestur Rockbreaker was also meant to have his own house, as well as a Redguard son, Talib. While it is unknown where exactly he would have resided, Talib would've likely lived in the house of his father. Another unused npc, Argi Farseer, would also have a house at Stonehills. Lastly, there was also meant to be a smith with his own house present at Stonehills.
Ulfberth's House
This would've been the house of Ulfberth War-Bear, who appears in Whiterun.
Wintersand Manor
Wintersand Manor was supposed to be the housing of the wealthy Redguards Nazeem and Ahlam in Whiterun. Both of them still carry the key in the final game. Acolyte Jensen also carries this key, so either this was a mistake, or he was meant to visit there without actually living in the house.
Unused Cells
These cells were meant to appear in the game, but were either never finished or simply never put in. You can use the console command coc Editor ID to teleport to these areas.
| This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this. |
Windhelm Pit
Editor ID: WindhelmPitEntrance
This is the entrance to the unused Pit arena. Entering the Pit spawns Argonian, Nord, Dark Elf and Imperial NPCs called 'Pit Fans', who just stand around, but are obviously supposed to be spectators of some sort.
E3 Bleak Falls Barrow
Editor ID: E3demoBleakFallsBarrow
Pretty much identical to the final game, except in the final game, the location is split into two separate loading cells. This version is both cells clumped together; presumably to show off combat at an E3 expo. A few smaller parts of the map were taken out as well. There are some bugs in it as well (probably because it was just a early build), such as the man trapped in the spider web not able to be freed and not obtaining a shout when you approach the wall at the end. No enemy appears when you are supposed to collect the shout. When you get to the end of the map, you are taken outside of a random mountain near Whiterun.
Helgen Unused Cells
These cells all lead back to or reference Helgen in some way, the town that Alduin ravages at the start of the game.
- Editor ID: HelgenHomestead – This is one of the houses destroyed by Alduin at the beginning of the game. Normally you jump through this on your way to the keep with Ralof or Hadvar, but it exists as a partially coded room with a table, two chairs, a floating bed and a exit back to the destroyed house in Helgen.
- Editor ID: HelgenTheLostMansReprieve – Going off the name, one could guess this was an inn, though all that is left is a table and a door that goes nowhere.
- Editor ID: HelgenTorolfsMill – This is pretty much the same as the Lost Man's Reprieve.
Hoarfrost Grotto
Editor ID: HoarfrostGrottoOLD
An unfinished ice cave which just houses a Frost Atronach and some Ice Wraiths. There's a small chest located at the end of the cave. 90210 season 6 full episodes. There is no entrance or exit.
Obscured Passage
Editor ID: CidhnaMine03
The ID suggests this was a scrapped part of the Cidhna Mine. It's mainly full of corpses and gates, and has Dwemer architecture throughout.
Dreamworld
- Editor ID: vampireDreamworld01
- Editor ID: vampireDreamworld02
- Editor ID: vampireDreamworld03
Three identical-looking cells that are not connected. They appear as the inside of a small house. The only door can be activated, but doesn't lead to a new cell. A few rare books and notes can be found on two shelves. Judging by the name of the location codes, this was probably related to vampire-related content that didn't make the final game.
Test Cells & Holding Cells
These cells were either used by developers to test functions of the game, or are still used in the final game for mechanics purposes. They were never meant to be visited by the player. You can use the console command coc Editor ID to teleport to these areas.
| This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this. |
Editor Smoke Test Cell
Editor ID: qasmoke
An item testing room. The chests contain every inventory item in the game. Opening any enchanted chests may crash the game due to the sheer amount of enchanted items. Note that having Dawnguard & Dragonborn installed expands the room; Dawnguard adds a room with two chests holding inventory items specific to that DLC, whereas Dragonborn adds a room with chests full of Dragonborn items, as well as a cage with buttons that spawns enemies from Solstheim.
M'aiq The Liar's Room
Editor ID: Elsweyr
A small grey room where the Khajiit wanderer M'aiq the Liar is stuffed away (when he's not roaming around Skyrim). The developers decided to use the name of the Khajiit homeland as the editor ID.
Do Not Delete - Not A Test Cell
Editor ID: ThievesGuildHoldingCell
There seems to be a lot of Thieves' Guild related things here, unsurprisingly. In the corner is a disabled woman NPC with Vaermina's name and voice, as well as chests for all the Thieves Guild fences, the Stones of Barenziah, notes and books relating to Thieves' Guild quests, drinks, levelled and special loot, and Mercer Frey's Chillrend sword.
Main Menu Cell
Editor ID: MainMenuCell
Entirely blank. Sort of self-explanatory..?
Unowned Cell
Editor ID: UnownedCell
All this contains is a chest with an Amulet of Mara. Not sure what it'd be used for.
Voice Cells
All of these cells are small stone rooms carrying NPCs with IDs relating to disembodied Daedra voices.
- Editor ID: AzuraVoiceCell – Holds a female Dark Elf with the ID DA01AzuraVoice.
- Editor ID: MalynVarenVoiceCell – Empty.
- Editor ID: MolagBalVoiceCell – Holds a male Imperial with the ID DA10MolagBalVoice.

| Chillrend Case Key | 000f84a5 | The key is supposed to open Chillrend's display case, but can't as it doesn't appear in-game. |
| Confiscated Goods Key | 0010e7e6 | Carried by Anuriel in Mistveil Keep, but doesn't open anything. |
| Crossinghouse Key | 0009c6d7 | The Crossinghouse was supposed to be another location in Darkwater Crossing, the location and its key don't appear in the final game however. |
| Doesn't Exist | 000C62A1 | This key appears to be a duplicate of the Katariah Master Key, but renamed. |
| Faldar's Cage Key | 000c007b | This key opens all jail cells in Faldar's Tooth, it cannot be found in-game. |
| Folgunthur Catacomb Key | 000ab6fe | This key cannot be found in-game and doesn't open anything. The location 'Folgunthur Catacomb' doesn't exist, only 'Folgunthur Crypt'. |
| Fort Blackmoor Prison Key | 00016ff1 | Fort Blackmoor is the original name of Fort Greymoor, the key cannot be found in-game and doesn't open anything. |
| Irkngthand Arcanex Key | 000b7cbc | This key cannot be found in-game and doesn't open anything. |
| Irkngthand Consortium Key | 000b7c00 | This key is wrongfully assigned to a bandit in Raldbthar, a completely different Dwemer ruin. The key doesn't open anything however and the 'Irkngthand Consortium' doesn't even exist in the final game. |
| Iron Key | 0004ec50 | Internally named 'RoriksteadFreeformMralkisChestKey', this key is related to a cut part of the 'Erik the Slayer' quest. The chest related to this key also got cut and doesn't appear in-game either. Even though it's clear what the key was supposed to open, the key isn't correctly tied to the chest and therefore useless. |
| Irontree Mill House Key | 00098b7a | This key is carried by two characters named Steirod and Trilf, neither of whom are found in the game, making the key unobtainable. |
| Jaree's Key | 00023a70 | Related to the quest 'Lights Out!' according to its internal name 'MS07Key'. Doesn't open anything and cannot be found in-game. |
| Jorrvaskr Back Room Key | 000734c5 | This key, internally named 'WhiterunJorrvaskrCeremonyRoomKey' doesn't appear in-game and doesn't open anything. |

| Mithorpa's House Key | 000a035e | This key is in possession of Mithorpa Nasyal, an unused npc and owner of Barleydark Farm, both the man and location do not appear in the final game, rendering the key useless. |
| Nightgate Inn Cellar Key | 000ed02d | Internally known as 'DB08BalagogTrapDoorKey', it would've been used by Balagog gro-Nolob to exit the trap door from the cellar. The key actually works on the trap door but seeing as it is always unlocked and the key doesn't appear in the final game, it is rather pointless. |
| Prison Cell Key | 000b965d | Internally known as 'MQ101PrisonKey', it would've been found during the tutorial quest 'Unbound'. It is still able to unlock two prison cells but doesn't appear in the final game. |
| Raldbthar Key | 000f232e | This key was probably meant to be in possession of the bandit holding the otherwise useless Irkngthand Consortium Key, due to this it cannot be found in the final game but it does still open a door in Raldbthar. |
| Riften Jail Key | 000ff787 | Not to be confused with the key of the same name carried by guards, this key can only be found on the Imperial Guard Jailor and doesn't open anything. Its naming might even be a mistake as it is known as 'RiftenEvidenceChestKey' internally. |
| Shaman's Key | 0003718e | This key is known internally as 'sightlessPitShamanKey', however, it is assigned to numerous other shamans outside of the Sightless Pit. It does not open anything. |

The key however, cannot be found in his posession but rather on a table inside of the Smelter Overseer's House. It does not open anything. |
| Syncope Sanctuary Key | 0004c475 | This key and the related 'Syncope Sanctuary' do not appear in-game, rendering the key useless. |
| Valthume Chamber Key | 0004d6e2 | This key doesn't appear in the final game and doesn't open anything. |
| Verner and Anneke's House Key | 0009c6fd | Strangely, not in possession of either Verner Rock-Chucker or Annekke Crag-Jumper and cannot be found anywhere in-game. Still opens their house door. (The key's misspelling is deliberately copied) |
| Werewolf Cage Key | 000db0e2 | This key appears to be related to a random encounter, as evidenced by its internal name 'dunPOITundraWerewolfKey'. It doesn't appear in the final game however and doesn't open anything |
| Key to Aleuc's House | 0009e2a5 | This key and its related location do not appear in-game, rendering the key useless. This house was to be part of Stonehills, as seen by its internal name 'StonehillsAleucsHouseKey'. |

| Key to Castle Dour | 000c13d8 | This key cannot be found in-game and doesn't open anything. |

| Key to Falion's House | 00108ba4 | This key, known internally as 'MorthalFalionsHouseKeyCOPY0000' should not be confused with the key carried by Agni and Falion, this is just a copy that doesn't appear in-game and doesn't open anything. |
| Key to Fathendas House | 00065653 | This key and its related location do not appear in-game, rendering the key useless. This house was to be part of the cut village Heljarchen, as seen by its internal name 'HeljarchenFathendasHouseKey'. |
| Key to Gestur's House | 0009e2a3 | This key and its related location do not appear in-game, rendering the key useless. Gestur Rockbreaker does not have a house in the final game. |

| Key to Heigen's Farmhouse | 00065655 | This key and its related location do not appear in-game, rendering the key useless. This house was to be part of the cut village Heljarchen, as seen by its internal name 'HeljarchenHeigenFarmHouseKey'. |

| Key to Morthal Guardhouse | 00108ba5 | This key doesn't appear in-game and doesn't open anything. |
| Key to the Nightgate Inn | 00065658 | This key doesn't appear in-game and doesn't open anything. This key is known internally as 'HeljarchenNightgateInnKey', pointing to the fact that the inn was originally part of the cut village of Heljarchen. |
| Key to Pavo's House | 000becd8 | This key should not be confused with the key carried by Pavo Attius and Gat gro-Shargakh. This version is known as 'KolskeggrPavosHouseKey' internally, doesn't appear in-game and doesn't actually open anything. |
| Key to Romlyn Dreth's House | 000f18f7 | This key, carried by Romlyn Dreth, should not be confused with another key that he carries, namely 'Romlyn's House Key'. While Romlyn's House Key unlocks his house, this one doesn't unlock anything and appears to just be a duplicate. |

Oddities
Things found in-game that might be related to cut content without any real traceable evidence, or similar oddities.
Brond's mention
Torbjorn Shatter-Shield of Windhelm may mention an NPC known as Brond in one of his greetings. Brond is actually an unused NPC.
Chief Mauhulakh's Armor
The oufit that Chief Mauhulakh of Narzulbur wears is actually known as 'DEMO_ArmorScaledHelmetOutfit' internally. It was originally used for an Imperial bandit related to a demo, as its name implicates.
Dasturn and Meieran
Dasturn is mentioned once in a greeting by Tormir of Darkwater Crossing, while Meieran gets mentioned multiple times in scenes that happen in Darkwater Crossing. Neither NPC has any remains of their existence left in the game's files.
Killable Children
All the child races in Skyrim are completely unable to be harmed. Despite this, both male and female child voicetypes have voiced death grunts, as well as zombie groans. This suggests that children were meant to be harmed at an earlier point in development.
Froa
Froa is the daughter of Kjeld and Iddra of Kynesgrove. Despite getting mentioned multiple times in scenes, there isn't a single trace of her in the game data.
Urwa
A corpse that appears in Brood Cavern simply known as 'Hunter' in-game. She's actually a uniquely-designed NPC. Whatever her purpose was is unknown.
Unused Spells and Perks
Unused Archery Perk
Perk ID: 105f1a
An unused perk for the Archery skill tree exists within the Creation Kit, but was left out before the game's release. It is known as Trick Shot and would have been obtained when the player had acquired 80 Archery skill and unlocked the Quick Shot perk. Its description read: '25% chance of disarming an opponent.' The perk can be acquired by using the console command Addperk 105f1a. It won't appear in the skill tree for Archery but it is fully functional.
Unused Conjuration Spell
Spell ID: 0010FC16
An unused spell for the Conjuration skill tree exists in the game's files, but was left out before the game's release. It is known as Conjure Dragon Priest and is only accessible with console commands. It would have been a standalone version of Konahrik's Mask enchantment. Casting it would summon a Spectral Dragon Priest for 60 seconds. The spell can be acquired by using the console command player.addspell 0010fc16. It would have had three perks which would extend the maximum duration to 120 seconds, 240 seconds, and to allow the summoning of two Dragon Priests.
Unused Test Objects
A man with an interesting face used as a reference for scale.
A cube possibly used to test lighting effects on Falmers.
3.0 out of 5 stars Area 51 Video Game Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2007 I enjoyed a lot of things about this game but it 'crashed' frequently even though running on a high-end Nvidia card, 3G processor and 1G RAM.

Cutting Room Floor is a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, created by.Description:A content restoration mod for Skyrim Special Edition and the official DLCs. From the depths of the ether, or just the cutting room floor, comes forth several NPCs, some quests, and other miscellaneous content which was created but never implemented in the game. If ever you had the feeling that Skyrim was missing something, you were probably right! This mod should relieve a bit of that. Villages that were supposed to exist have been brought back. Quests that were partially implemented have been completed.
Various items have been restored that were still in the data files. NPCs have been brought back to the game and given homes where appropriate. Plus plenty of other random bits of stuff that was mentioned in the game but didn't exist yet.To install use.Installation RequirementsSkyrim Special Edition 1.1.47.0.8 or greater.Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch 4.0.0 or greater.DO NOT extract the contents of the BSA file into your Data folder as loose files, or let your mod manager peform an equivalent function on the contents of the file.
Doing so will cause things to load in the wrong order and break the game. Skyrim is intended to load a BSA alongside it's ESM/ESP file. Circumventing this causes issues which I will not provide support for.
If you insist on going against this advice, you will receive no support for the problems you generate as a result of this.
