If you live in Florida....we might be here a while.

I agree with that notion in general, but in this case, it doesn't really affect me or my ability to enjoy the game in any noticeable way. 7,000 steps to High Hrothgar? I just imagine that when they say 7,000 steps, they mean for if the province of Skyrim were larger than the size of port city.

Yeah forget horse armor, this is what we need! :biggrin:

You just made my day. :laugh:

Sadly, I fully believe that a sizable number of players would pay $5 for that :sadvaultboy:

Florida... where's that at?

Hahahahah:

I believe it's somewhere on the coast of southern Akavir. They get harsh winds and the occasional maormer raid.

Whaaaaaa? I am marching over to my xbox right now, taking out the disc, and breaking it into 7,000 pieces! This is unexcusable! What in Oblivion kind of bull [censored] is this?

Lore?

Its 7000 steps. There are infinite ways to take those steps.

There are not 7000 steps, there would not be room, and the mountain is NOT 3500 feet as some proposed by calculating the step height and number, as already posted, it's a story exaggeration, 7000 sounds much more awesome than a measly 700.

The first thing i did when i got that questline was to actually count the steps, you're off a couple of steps btw, (i might be aswell).
But i uninstalled the game afterwards...I hate bethesda for lying.

If it wasn't a reddit link I would've taken it seriously.

Perhaps it's counted to the top of the mountain and not to the greybeards

And they have 6000 invisible steps, which count towards 'your journey to the starting point' :whistling:

Have any of you ACTUALLY counted the steps? As in all steps, not just one foot in front of the other.

but where do we count from id expect the base of the mountain be tried as a result not inversted i mean the base of the god damned mountain

I doubt it's even possible to properly count them. It looks like a lot of them are under the soil or snow or even broken and withered ect. It seems there were seventhousand steps originally when the stairs had been built and we only get to see the remains.

I can't believe people are actually upset over this.

I always wondered is it 7000 steps has in stair steps or just walking/running steps? =<

Maybe over the years the trolls stole some of the steps to make huts and stuff.

Once there were 7000 steps, then Paarthurnax stole most of them and cut the mountain top off to build his wall.

Does it really matter? You're aint climbing anything with that busted knee...

Every time I read the world "lie" on this forum, I shudder. I swear, from reading things like this here, you would think that today's society is the most literal and altruistic to ever have been on the planet Earth. You'd think that untruths are so rare and abhorred that they just don;t happen, and the hard-line "liar liar" crew is outing a Monster. People on this forum are so quick to label anything posted by a dev that turns out to not be literally so a "lie", and in fact, there are not 7,000 steps present.

But a "lie"? What is a "lie"? Do you even know what a "lie" is? Most people on this forum obviously don't, judging from your question and hundreds of other posts. A statement with the intent to deceive. That's a lie.

So ask yourself: is Todd Howard so incredibly and abysmally flaming STOOPID to think that you, or anyone else for that matter, would NEVER actually count the steps, so he lied about it to impress us, or was he just wrong?

Think hard.

Not surprising really. The journey to High Hrothgar was very underwhelming...
