Yeah, that could have been Kahreem for sure. What race was he?

Seriously though, does your version of Better Cities allow gates to open directly into walled towns, without a load-screen? If so, this could be why you'll see a Skingrad guard so far away from home. I know RG3 has Open Cities in her game, and we see all sorts of NPCs wandering around who would normally

Who would normally... what?

He was dark and smelled of cheap wine.

No, I don't use Open Cities because it's too much for my PC. But since BC adds a lot of new NPCs and some travel between towns, it's possible that this guard was in fact accompanying someone else but that NPC was too ahead or maybe even died because there were some will'o'the-wisps around (however it's spelled).

The only city guards I've ever seen far from their posting are the Leyawiin guards that escort Countess Leyawiin during her scripted monthly travel to Chorrol and back to Leyawiin.

Fort Entius. This is located at the end of the river which Imperial Bridge Inn is nearby. In other words, if we walk toward Imperial Bridge Inn, and stay near that water, and then pass the inn, and keep walking all the way until the end of the water, that's where Fort Entius is.

I've been to this fort maybe a dozen times (maybe more) over the years, yet I had no idea there's like this secret hidden ledge right above Entius's entrance. The ledge can only be found by walking off the south end of Entius (sort of, hard to explain), and I only bring this up because not long ago I managed to find a small cache of treasure near a skeleton, which is located in that hidden ledge thingy!

Not sure I have discovered that myself. I could have, but I really cannot remember

Neat! I'm not very familiar with that area. That would be a great place to just explore.

Neat, Renee! Fort Entius has been on Buffy's OB circuit for a long time. I think we first learned of it as a great place to 'mine' for alchemy gear as it is very east to get to the boss conjuredude chest. She's cleared it many times and I think I know the ledge you're talking about. We always like camping beside the river there.

Oops, slight spoiler for me, but no worries. Was thinking about setting up a new character whose first job would be as an imperial surveyor charged with visiting, and climbing around, all the ruins to report on their state. The idea, in actual fact, was to see how much stuff the character could accumulate without ever going inside any of the ruins. (Also necessary to sneak past the bad guys outside, because looting them would spoil it...)

There are also quite a few non-ruin chests scattered round, think there's a list of them on UESP, not going to look now, though.

This thread really should be in the spoilers section, like the Skyrim version of this thread. My bad.

That does sound like a neat idea, your surveyor idea, t-C. I remember Pseron made a map surveyor long ago, whose job was to simply chart the entire map of Cyrodiil. Something like that. I would make an idea like this, but I'm too much of an adrenaline junkie!

Well, you are the thread's originator. So your wish is my command when it comes to such things.

I wasn't serious about the spoilers, Renee - I'm apt to spoil things for myself. Main trouble is it's now given me a mod idea, and I seriously need to finish one or two others...

That's fine, it's all good. It makes more sense to have a thread like this in Spoilers, so thank you Acadian for intuiting and getting it done.

Never heard that one before.

Bold: I've seen Alix Lencolia do this one a lot!









Vilja says it more often than the NPC's; but it is a standard dialogue for several female races.

I've never heard it until today else I'd remember it because of the unique name. The book as such doesn't exist though, maybe it's part of cut content. In conversations about books Manual of Armor and Fundaments of Alchemy get mentioned the most often.

weird.

I'm just noticing dogwood trees outside of Cheydinhal, with their distinctive white flowers. Have I noticed this before? I'm not sure.

I'd take a picture, but I'm on Xbox. But here is a real-life example.

Yes! There are indeed dogwood trees in Cyrodiil!

I don't remember ever seeing a dogwood in game that I didn't put there in one of my mods; but I love them too. In TN, they have streets marked out where the prettiest examples of dogwoods are; and they have them in different colors too - 2 weeks of Awesome in ETN!


Here is one house with some really mature dogwood trees:
