Bless you skyrim, found another new location again.

Post » Sat Dec 24, 2016 4:10 pm

Skyrim is such a damned good game, been playing it since 11/11/11 (mods have helped keep it entertaining, but still, even alone, the game is awesome.)



A few months ago I found a location called southfringe sanctum, that I had somehow missed for years, it even had a short quest inside.



And now yesterday, just when I thought I had seen all locations I get a quest from the solitude executioner (who for some reason I've never talked to), and he tells me to go to a place called ironback hideout. I was like... wait, that doesn't sound familiar. It wasn't a cave, or some epic location, but still I was so surprised to find something new, and just another moment where I've thought.. "damn this is such a detailed and awesome game." The fact that I can't deny there are still things I haven't done in this game just makes me love it even more.



l would totally sacrifice a goat in honor of skyrim.

I don't think any of my characters have ever talked to the executioner. I'll have to try that sometime. Thanks!

He broke my Ka'linda's heart, when he didn't even notice that she was wearing an Amulet of Mara for him. ( 360)

I hear ya. Just tonight I found a new location that I had never seen before in 5 years. I found a blood trail near the Beacon of Stendar East of Riften and it led to a little troll hiding place. This was actually about an hour ago.


Me too, I would gladly sacrifice a goat in honor of Skyrim.


By the Nine, I do love this game.

There's a troll bridge in Oblivion?


My god, all these years and there's still secrets I've never discovered.

Yes, he got drunk and - presumably - killed himself for not being a good enough troll.

nothing like the sentimental brute trope to make everyone cry. That troll was heartbreaking.

Never found a troll bridge in Skyrim (where is it?) but did find it in oblivion.

uesp wiki ....


Spoiler
" Directly south of Markarth, near Purewater Run, there is a stone bridge near a waterfall. If it is your first time there, you will see three goats; upon looking under the bridge, you will find a dead troll. This is a reference to the children's story "Three Billy Goats Gruff". A similar reference was also found in Oblivion."



Oblivion : "There is a small bridge just past the Mouth of the Panther, east-southeast of Bravil. Underneath you will find the remains of a Dead Troll. Reminiscent of the children's fairy tale "Billy Goats Gruff", you will find A Poorly Scrawled Note on the body, explaining its failure as a bridge troll:




Because some people like to find these thing's themselves...

Thanks! My Orc will have a look on his way back to the stronghold :)


As for this Southfringe Sanctum, I've never been there, either. I looked on the Wiki, and apparently there's a fox called Pumpkin. Never noticed the tiny continuous joke in Bethesda games of animals called Pumpkin hidden in the world. Oblivion: dog called Pumpkin in Rockmilk Cave, Fallout 3: Molerat also locked in a cage.



It's the little things that make me love Bethesda :tes:
