Tired of doing all the legwork in Skyrim? Get someone else to finish quests for you with this mod

One of the key things about Skyrim – indeed, about thousands of games – is getting to live out the life of a capable hero. All that questing sure goes a long way to maxing out your skills while you explore vast worlds. But what if – hear me out – someone else could do it for you?

Say hello to Skyrim Outbound Shipments by user Eudalus, a mod for TES5 that allows you to employ the help of a, shall we say, lesser person to carry out certain duties. Namely, by finishing quests for a small fee. After all, the Dragonborn has more important things to be getting on with. Romancing Lydia, for example.

Why carry that important item all the way back to whoever sent you out for it when you can pay a courier to do it in your stead? What this mod does, essentially, is let you hire an NPC to “progress or complete quests by delivering quest items or messages for you.”

You’ll still reap the benefits

Of course, you’ll still get the rewards and possibly the kudos as well. According to the mod’s description, any monetary remuneration you’re owed for the quest will be delivered to you by the courier within six to 36 hours.

There are a couple of price tiers, though, depending on what you want the hired help to achieve. Eudalus says most jobs will fall under “normal delivery,” which costs 10 gold coins by default. For more complex quests, you’ll pay “hazard delivery,” which is three times the normal rate, but does include hiring the courier to trek dangerous territory, such as Castle Volkihar.

The mod is still being worked on, so there may be a few issues with compatibility when it comes to others that you may have installed. Also, not all the quests are supported, such as ones that reward skill points, but it looks like Eudalus is going to keep working on it.
