Da Mistake is Unacceptable Bethesda : V

» Sat Dec 17, 2011 7:16 am

Spent the night at the Inn in Rorikstead. Left in the morning and took the road North up past Lund's Hut. Came to the junction with da bandits. Looked up at the roadsigns. Sign pointing left said 'Markarth'. Correct. Sign pointing North and straight on said 'Markarth'. WRONG!!! Should say 'Solitude'!!! Luckily for you Bethesda, I kept my bearings and headed on towards SOLITUDE up past the robbers place. Didn't like having to pay the 100 gold toll, but as I'm a non-combat character unless physically attacked I duly obliged.

Ysolda is going to be mad at me when I get back to our house in Whiterun. I've been on the road for ages. Can I interest any of you in a gold necklace?

And then my staircase went boom, and I was trapped up here.

I've seen that sign, or at least one that has the same problem. I seem to remember it in a differnt place, on the road from Markarth to Solitude, and it was "Whiterun" that was labelled twice.

You just gave them your gold? Coward. You should have kept your gold and ran away.

Some signs look newer than others. I'm not sure it's a mistake

I've also seen a sign that had two different arrows with "Markarth."

Signs?! That's hard to believe that a sign is messed up

And I ran away from the robbers cos they had the higher ground. And one of them had a scary helmet on!

Maybe the bandits did it - to get the highrollers goin' to the big city!

That's what I was going to post but you beat me to it. Or just Skyrim pranksters.

In fact misleading road signs might have been intentionally added by Bethesda, for realism. So it may not have be a mistake.

Why did I laugh so hard at this?

That's Sheogorath for you

Giving bandits gold just encourages banditry. You are part of the problem. Be a part of the solution and join the Legion citizen.

I would still like Bethesda to compensate me for the inconvenience. I am currently staying at The Winking Skeever in Solitude and still need to pass through Morthal and Dawnstar before returning home to Ysolda in Whiterun. Can you forward the 150,000 gold septims by courier to my wife, with strict instructions not to spend it on "Women's Stuff" eg house decorations and clothing. V
