I hadn't noticed them, shiver me timbers! I don't know, but I'll go straight to one at the start of the game. Thanks.

The locations of the guardian stones. The one just south of riverwood is the set of three that were in the demo video.

A few Dungeons maybe ?

i would say treasures, mainly because red x's like that symbolize that sort of [censored], then again it ain't the age of pirates....so who knows.

Places where you can dig?

That makes the most sense. I agree with this.

As good a guess as there's been I reckon

There are too many for them to be Guardian Stones in my opinion, albeit that's also a good guess

yea but those shrines are huge

Clearly buried treasure! Duh!

» Fri Oct 14, 2011 11:35 pm

Yes I noticed.. 18 Xs, only 13 stones (and the stones are in groups)... maybe its all the stones, and some other important sort of landmark as well.

They are only red on this stylized fake map. On the real one they are brownish/greyish.

Also I agree that Guardian Stones make the most sense.

But isnt bleak falls barrow right next to riverwood aswell?

» Fri Oct 14, 2011 11:12 pm

Perhaps they're general points of interest - Guardian Stones and other such things?

» Fri Oct 14, 2011 11:38 am

http://tamrielchronicles.com/assets/map-morr-enormous.jpg also had the X's. They are hidden treasures and points of interest.

I think im right in saying Bleak Falls is "after" Riverwood, and this would be indicated north on the map? The 'X' is south... ?
