While walking underneath the bridge that leads to the College of Winterhold, I came across an area where I could head up onto land between two glaciers. As I started to make my way inland, I came across two skeletons. One was nothing more that a pile of bones lying inside of a set off bear trap. The other was complete and sitting down in a weeping-like position. I instantly made a story in my head as of how these two skeletons came to be here. Does anyone else create a story like this when they see a small detail like that?

You'd find this kind've stuff a lot in Morrowind..mainly because a good portion of the game was hand crafted. I even find myself, when creating mods, telling a story behind the placement of doodas and objects.

You can bet the developers had a story similar to the one your imagination conjured up when you came upon that travesty.
