Things Players Discovered Years Later In Skyrim

being as old as Skyrim is the majority of this game's Secrets have already been unturned but even almost 12 years later players are still discovering new secrets about Skyrim to this day so in today's video we're going to be taking a look of five crazy things players discovered years later in Skyrim number one treasure foxes finding treasure in Skyrim can sometimes feel like finding a needle in a haystack with the biggest piece of Aid given to you being a vague scribble of the location however some players believe you can be led to all sorts of treasures and secrets with the help of a guide foxes that's right over the years some players have speculated that foxes always led to treasure and for a long time nobody actually knew if this was true or just a hoax but after many years of speculation a Skyrim developer Finally Revealed the truth and it turns out this theory is actually true but let me explain foxes will always lead you to treasure because Skyrim is made of polygons and since the foxes Ali is programmed to flee from the player it tries to get as many polygons away from the player in as little time as possible so the foxes typically do this by running to points of interest groups of Bandits and even sometimes hidden treasure chests this mystery was finally solved by Skyrim developer Joel Burgos and revealed it all in a Twitter thready mode going into the intricacies of navmesh and AI pathfinding Joel explains that foxes have a very simple AI where all they have to do is run away from the player as far away as possible whenever the player gets near the fox however the way the distance is measured in video games is not the same as in real life instead of using kilometers or miles video games use a term called navmesh without sending this video into a game design course navmesh is basically a bunch of triangles linked together that Aid AI such as foxes for example to tell them where they can and cannot go so when a fox is told to run away from the player they're actually being told to run XML triangles away from the player outdoor grassland areas which is where you will typically find foxes have pretty basic topography and don't need a lot of these triangles but places like banded camps ruins and yes even Hidden Treasures all need more of these triangles since their design is more complex so as Joel puts it yes Skyrim's foxes actually do lead you to treasure pretty cool hey number two letters from A Friend after you complete the quest dragon Rising where at the end of it you're revealed to be the Dragonborn you'll begin to receive strange letters which tell you that you caused quite a bit of a stir when shouting and later gives you the location of a word wall most interestingly the letters are always signed with a friend so players have always wondered just who it is that's sending out these mysterious letters some initially believed it was Delphine since she also signs a letter as a friend during the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller Quest but this doesn't make sense when you think about it for more than two seconds I get how Delphine can predict us taking the Horn of Jurgen wind caller but how is she supposed to know whenever I shouted in the soul can or Apocrypha come to think of it there is one character that can do just that Hermes Mora Hermes Mora being the friend that sends out these letters makes a lot more sense than meets the eye get it because he has lots of never mind my disappointment is immeasurable being the Daedric prince of knowledge Emmaus Mora could easily find out where we shouted and the locations of all the word walls in the game but on top of this he also has an interest in making us more powerful as the letters explain as Miracle's previous servant has become rash arrogant and believes himself to be above the servitude of the Daedric prince the Dragonborn DLC was likely intended to be the final questline in the game to complete and it ends with you sealing your fate as Hermes Mora's new servant which is likely why he was sending out all the letters to make you strong enough to defeat Miraak and be worthy of being under the servitude of him number three the true bouncy in the abandoned Shack although the Dark Brotherhood questline technically begins with us accepting the contract to kill gorella the kind from Aventa saracino our first true interaction with this ancient assassin order is some time later once we've been kidnapped by Astrid and wake up in an abandoned Shack outside of Solitude I'm sure you will know what happens afterwards Astrid reveals to us that there are three other captives in the shack and we are given the choice to kill whichever we believe to be guilty we are allowed to question them and can even kill multiple captives however we are never sold outright who is truly guilty and who is innocent so we have to decide between killing forth under Fearless Elia quintus or Vash of the khajid fans believe they're the actual person with a contract on their heads is you this the response due to the random encounter where a dark brotherhood assassin tries to murder you this encounter can happen anytime before you start the Dark Brotherhood questline which could mean that the Dragonborn has had a contract on them before the game even begins I mean we were trying to cross the border and Escape Skyrim after all something very similar to this scenario also occurred in Oblivion in the shantanal sanctuary there's a bosma assassin called to Lane drill who explains that her initial encounter with Lucian LaChance then listener of the Dark Brotherhood was on the other side of his blade but Lucian was later impressed by talane drill after she killed the person who set out the contract against her her father therefore the captives in the room were nothing more than a ruse for Astrid to not only see our willingness to kill but also to trade our life for that of another this is further validated by the fact that our choice in who we killed doesn't matter all that matters is that we must kill someone so in conclusion the Dragonborn is the real Target right well no see many fans who placed all this conjecture in their theories forgot to try one simple trick to find the killer The Clairvoyant spell that's right this otherwise useless spell turns out to be pretty good at laying fan theories to rest when used the spell points to vasha meaning that she is the correct person to kill in the abandoned Shack she is the only person with a bounty placed on them number 4. the ebony Warrior's true identity the ebony warrior is probably the most elusive care enter in Skyrim this Dark Knight appears only after you reach level 80. appearing as a man clad in ebony armor and challenging you to adjour to the death upon meeting him at the agreed upon location the ebony warrior will have no words left for you and will simply stand there waiting for you to land the first blow how nice of him it's important to realize that level 80 was the maximum level in the vanilla game before it was later changed so the ebony warrior was likely meant to be the final challenge for the player to overcome it's also likely that most players will complete most of Skyrim's content by the time they reach level 60 so reaching level 80 was reserved for those players who were truly dedicated to becoming the best interestingly enough the ebony warrior faces a similar dilemma he claims that there are no longer any quests to be undertaken villains to be slain what challenges to face except for you the ebony warrior believes he is ready to journey to sovngarde and considers the Dragonborn the only person capable of killing him in combat to make that happen which makes this whole encounter even more bizarre considering the ebony warrior is a red guard and sovngarde is exclusive to Nords right red guards have a similar afterlife to the Nords called the far Shores so wanting to go to another Race's afterlife is just outright strange many fans believe that the ebony warrior is not a regular mortal but rather an avatar of hunting a god worshiped by the Red Guard people this God was materialized into a mortal form whenever the Red Guard people needed a hero to Make Way for their people most come to this conclusion because he is similar in strength to the Dragonborn and looks very similar to Raymond Eben armed another Avatar of hunding but the truth is a little more anticlimactic despite what most people think you don't actually have to be ignored to feast in the halls of sovngarde As Long as You Follow the Nordic Pantheon of gods such as sure in your smear and live with the heart of a Nord then getting into sovngarde is not so difficult So based on all the evidence the ebony warrior is actually hunting the Red Guard God number five The Disappearance of the Dwemer the Dwemer were one of if not the most advanced race in the Elder Scrolls Universe from mechanical automations to Giant airships the dwimmer of made inventions that even as of Skyrim no civilization has been able to replicate but the technological prowess along with their entire race all mysteriously disappeared during the Battle of Red Mountain a first battle where the Dumber were trying to stop the Dwemer from using the heart of Larkin yes the same law can the created nurn Larkin's heart was being used by a specific Dwemer magecrafter known as kagranak who was trying to use the heart to make a new God that would act in the dwemer's interest it would be one final Fu to the gods and other races who thought the dwemer's aesthetic Society was heresy but once the Dumber learned about kagrinak's plans a war broke out between the two races culminating in one final battle between the Dwemer and the dhamma of Red Mountain and while the dark elves were trying to stop kagranak from accomplishing is admittedly insane for our goal all of the dwemers suddenly disappeared likely after kagranak tampered with the heart of larkan and ever since that day the question of whether a went has been shrouded in mystery both within the game's lore and fans alike but if we want answers we're going to have to take a stroll down memory lane and go all the way back to Moro winter speed with jagran Bagan miyagrin Bagan is self-proclaimed to be the last remaining Dwemer and Tamriel and offers his own Theory as to how the Dwemer disappeared yagrin believes that kagranak fulfilled his plan to Grant his race eternal life but with unforeseen consequences such as your entire race being transported to a different realm this would mean that the dwarves are not extinct at all but rather in a different plane of reality to that of the Mundus in fact iagran believes that he did not go with the other Dwemer due to him being in a different plane of reality during their disappearance and I for one believe that this is very plausible however there is also some additional Insight that has been provided by ex-bethesda writer Michael Kirkland who has a fan theory of his own Kirkland also believes that kagrinak did fulfill his plan to win build the power of the heart of larkern but instead of being sent to a different reality they were sent to a different time time travel isn't exactly a new idea in the Elder Scrolls universe so calling this Theory far-fetched is a little far-fetched and based on all the evidence we have so far Plus on top of Kirkland being responsible for writing some of the Elder Scrolls universe's lore this Theory most likely is the truth of what happened to the Dwemer but anyway that's all for today folks leave a comment and let us know what you thought and if you like the video click the like button and if you're not subscribed now's a great time to do so
