Maybe somebody can calculate how many steps a human can take in 24 hours at normal walking speed, and then set the day/night cycles in the game accordingly. :biggrin:

Absolutely right.



My post tried to inject some common sense and perspective too, just in a general way :wink_smile:

Yes I got one too. :tongue:

I was talking about the "If a NPC dies, his family will take his store and quests" and things like that.

If you walk and not run, then its really 7000 steps. I've tested it.

Start right at the other side of the bridge in ivarstead, walk, and you probably have something REALY close to 7000.
The problem with the english language here is that we can't know if "step" means stairs, or steps that you do while walking

Thats not a problem with the English language, some people just haven't learned enough English.

Have people been counting the step blocks? Each step line is made up of about 6 step blocks..

Videogames industry it seems to me is one of the only industries I can think of which regularly applies false advertising without being sued. If you lie about your product and people buy it, isn't that yknow against some law, somewhere?

Can't believe how many people in this thread are jumping to defend marketing hype and lies.

And I can't believe how pathetic a point it is to complain about.

Complain about something normal like bugged quests, or dragons still fighting after you've absorbed their souls, or guards not accepting your yield and killing you over accidentally stealing something worth 1 coin when you have no more bounty in that hold.

steps were the least of my concern when I was running away from a Frost Troll.

I'll complain about those too, not exactly limited in what I can talk about at the same time on the internet. How slow do you type? Meanwhile, this serves rather perfectly to illustrate the larger point of developers either outright lying or just grossly exaggerating their games.

Did you count all the cracked ones, buried ones and the ones that have disappeared?

What does my typing speed have to do with anything?

If you type slow you can't complain as much.

Lmfao, get used to it!

Explain that to me, because last time I checked, typing speed had no bearing on the amount people complain

OH [censored] SON! THIS GAME HAS 748 STEPS! THIS IS GAME OF THE YEAR! IT HAS SWEETROLLS...AND STEPS!

It was a sardonic comment, I wouldn't focus on it too much. But the idea is that if you type really slowly you'd have to be more selective in what you complain about.

Or was joking.

This thing again? And 6 pages long? Are you serious?

well some of them are under the snow..

They probably thought It might make for a pretty weak main quest if Dovakiin died of a heart attack before he even reached the grey beards so they scaled it down last second. :shrug:

I would love to hear the prelims for this case...

Judge- So, you're suing Bethesda Softworks for fraud?
Plaintiff- That is correct, your honor
Judge- And you are claiming emotional injury and distress because...
Plaintiff- Because I was told that there would be seven thousand steps to High Hrothgar in the game Skyrim,. but there aren't. I counted. Three times. And there aren't.
Judge- High...Hoth..Hroth..um..Hot...
Plaintiff- High Hrothgar. It's this building on top of a big mountain called Throat of the World where the Greybeards live. My Argonian Assassin had to climb these seven thousand steps to get to the top of the Throat of the World to talk to these Greybeards because he is Dragonborn, and he had to learn how to use his shouts to defeat the dragons that had returned to the world. Only, there aren't seven thousand steps in the "Seven Thousand Steps" like we were told there would be. There's only 748. I know because counted. Bethesda lied to me.
Judge- I see...And you are seeking judgement in the amount of...
Plaintiff- A Bajillion-Zillion dollars.
Judge- Right... Next case.

As much as I dont really care how many steps there are, I just dont like being lied to.
