The red crosses on the map? : V

» Mon Oct 17, 2011 8:00 am

On the map there are 18 little red crosses, any idea what these are? It has recently been confirmed of treasure maps, maybe these are 18 high value treasures? Or 18 big dungeons? (that could make sense as there is one near riverwood, which is where the demo took place)Then again there are supposed to be 150 arn't there?

My bad if this has already been answered.

Exactly my point :yes:

I seriously doubt Beth would spoil all of the treasure locations.

Not dungeons. There are approx 50 Big ones and 100 smaller ones.

OT: I think it's treasure

Ye and the fact that its only treasure, like you'd think they would put somthing higher up on the list like dungeons?

Another thought maybe its those stones in the demo that activate a power or whatever, if so ... oh... i was hoping for something more exciting.

There's been multiple threads on this, use the search bar.

I'm pretty positive it is the star stones, or whatever they call them. That's what most people wrote it off as.

Highly likely that it's not dungeons. Crosses on the Morrowind map indicated shipwrecks, I don't think they'll be giving away major game locations like dungeons right away.

I've been sticking to my original theory of standing stones ever since the map was released initially in Russian and will stick to it till 11-11-11, then we'll see!

Thats STILL a terrible theory and highly likely to be wrong, as many have said, its been confirmed there are only 13 standing stones, and on the real map (not the fanmade one) there are 24 red X's.

THey mark where I buried the bodies. Don't tell CSI:Skyrim.

Not terrible at all.

Todd could have just worded it wrong and meant that there are 13 different kinds of standing stones.

» Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:38 pm

Could it be locations that are important to the MQ such as known rebel outposts or something?

» Mon Oct 17, 2011 5:54 am

Player-made markers. Mean nothing except the player chose to mark those spots

Like those stupid wayshrines

Unlikely.
I was under the belief you could only have one marker at a time, can't remember where I got this from though.

This map isn't from the game?
God we're both stupid.

I doubt it's dungeons. There's 150+ anyway. I'm thinking they are treasure maps.

This.
So maybe we can also access a flat map in game perhaps?

Treasure maps makes a lot more sense than actual treasures.

But in true TES styles it can be anything at all, but it's likely gonna be something minor and not important, so Dragonborn can be quite right.

I thought he meant the map was one of possible many treasure maps and the locations DID mark treasures.

Edit: Treasure maps have been confirmed btw we're just not sure what they look like.

Nah the story of the map the OP linked is the following:

- The pre-order map leaked in Russian. It was scanned so not allowed on forums.
- Someone translated it directly into English. Still not allowed on forums.
- Someone made the so called HD map from it like in this thread. This one is allowed on forums.

Tl;dr: The crosses are on the pre-order map, just like on Morrowind's pre-order map.

Nah i just think its shrine locations.

» Sun Oct 16, 2011 7:29 pm

18 sounds like a number that's right for Daedric Shrines.

Can't be Star Stones because there are only 13 of those (and 3 of them are in the same spot meaning only 11 marks)

Can't be dungeons because there are 150+

I'm going with Shrines.
