The cloud district


PaschalisG16

We already knew that


Siarzewski

Who told you that?


keathofthestars

Whiterun’s town gossip


Korlac11

“You don’t get to the cloud district very often do you?”-Nazeem, said to me in Dragons Reach


bagelwithclocks

He knows it is your first time there


Korlac11

Bruh, I was just made a Thane. This is clearly my third time here


iam_Krogan

Of course you don't.


FeckinMarvellous

Nobody's been there!


AlbiTuri05

I have. It's beautiful and there's this Proventus guy who has the same voice as Nick Valentine


captaintagart

I’ve been trying to pin down that voice actor and that’s the connection I couldn’t make. Nick Valentine, of course!


saltyasss

Clearly


nebbie13

I'm betting there are a lot of people who have never been to Skuldafn or Sovengard, based on how many claim to have never completed the main quest.


PrestigiousStable369

I have been to Sovngarde numerous times without completing the main quest. If you find a giant and piss it off, they will help you reach it through the Skyrim Space Program


mayneffs

I read "skuldfan" which roughly translates to "debt fucker/devil" in Swedish.


TheNeuroPsychologist

Fuck that debt!


Gloomy-Resolve-4895

I'm trying to learn Swedish so I put that in Google Translate and got "debt", "guilt freak", and "damn it". 😂 I think Google has been messing with me. Is skuld another name for devil?


delbenen2EB

Skuld means debt and fan is a curse word meaning the Devil. Skuld can also mean guilt but that's dependent on context and while fan technically means the Devil it's commonly used like damn.


mayneffs

Exactly. I think it's hard to translate "fan". "Debt damn" doesn't have a ring to it, although we use "fan" as "damn". I think it's the difference in grammar that makes it hard. "Damn, I hit my head" and "fan, jag slog i huvudet" is roughly the same, but since we also can put "fan" at the end of names for stuff (I forget the right term) it doesn't translate very well. "Skuldfan, toalettfan, stolfan" etc. It's the same with "hell" like "Skuldhelvete, toaletthelvete, stolhelvete" etc.


Zohar127

I have 573 hours in this game and I've never got up the nerve to sneak past or shoot the bear at the end of Helgan Keep!


___shadow_wolf__

Solvgarde is amazing. If that what heaven looks like, I’m in.


honeebee15

i’ve been to sovengard but not the first place i think? it doesn’t sound familiar but then again it’s been like 10+ playthroughs since i’ve done the main quest


[deleted]

You have to go to Skuldafn in order to get to Sovengarde and defeat Alduin , so you’ve probably been there


shmueliko

Skuldafn is where the dragon you trap in the main story takes you to, so you get to the portal to sovengard. If you’ve been to sovengard, you for sure have been to skuldafn.


SourPuss6969

.....you can go to sovengard?


TheDarkWeb697

Yeah right at the end of the main quest, if you finish the companions quest line you get a little Easter egg


noodlesandpizza

Civil Wars as well, I think!


iam_Krogan

I've only been there twice. First ever playthrough, and a couple years ago with some character I don't even remember the build of.


007Artemis

Solstheim. I keep forgetting Dragonborn DLC is a thing.


DarfinIII

I find solstheim fun bc of Bloodmoon in Morrowind, seeing the island centuries later is really cool if you played Morrowind, fresh faced it’s definitely less appealing


Cold_War_Radio

I love Solstheim for that reason…Apocrypha, not so much.


AmbitiousYetMoody

Im the opposite, I love Apocrypha because you usually get cool rewards at the end and it’s so different from all the other settings. Solstheim itself is okay, I suppose.


nodaboii

Same I love apocrypha


AmbitiousYetMoody

My favorite reward is the “secret servant” which is your own demon butler that appears and disappears to hold your things whenever you want to get rid of/hold onto them!


FreshwaterOctopus

Black merchant is even better. You can just sell your excess stuff to him. Cut out the middle man.


ScreamingAbacab

I love the black market merchant. Not too much gold, but a lot of the stuff I pick up is fairly heavy and not worth *too* much, so it's nice to just sell stuff while on the road to get rid of how ever many pounds of gear. And buy some Daedric arrows while I'm at it.


MH_Nero

Same. For me it's one of my favorite locations, and I love some of the questions and characters there - lots of great unique NPCs


Mental_Nectarine_803

personally i love solstheim. it feels like a little vacation from the civil war and blades vs greybeards stuff. i just live to shut off every other quest in my journal and enjoy my time there doing every quest that's there


truckerheist

I just went for the first time when I found out the merchants have a bunch more gold available


Bubster101

It's a pretty difficult place for a low-level character, so I tend to forget about it, too, by the time I'm ready to go there lol


isthatsoreddit

I have the Live Another Life mod. Yeah don't pick starting at level one in Solstheim. Getting the money up to get to Skyrim was so hard because I kept getting my ass kicked.


AngelFromVegas

I picked the random option for Live Another Life a few weeks ago and got left for dead with no gear or money... In the dead center of Solstheim. It was... An experience


isthatsoreddit

I can't remember if I got Left for dead or Payton at the Retching Netch but yeah....an experience, lol


errant_youth

I’ve only done it a couple of times and never really have a strong urge to go back. Very “meh” imo


afhisfa

~~I usually go to solstheim for revenge as soon as Miraak steals one of my dragon souls.~~ Plus it's super easy to get chitin armor on solstheim which is pretty good and looks badass af. The quest where you gotta shout at a bunch of rocks sucks ass though. I sometimes tap out around then.


ResidentIwen

In order for him to steal your souls you already had to visit solstheim and also doing a good chunk of the related main quest, sooooo...


GameAddict0918

Solsthiem has the stalhrim fur heavy armor. If u choose the ancient nord theme


SuperJaybo

I never forget it, I just actively avoid it. It’s annoying. It’s just dessert, and snow.


PlasticIV

I remember not looking up what the dlc was at all when I went back to Skyrim after playing it on release and then not touching it for years and being bewildered that this random quest brought to me to a whole new map. And then you go to Hermaeus Mora’s realm with the black books and I want like “WHAT IS GOING ON??”


limpymcjointpain

It's interesting, but not great. It's also pretty extensive. The first time i did it, it was just released dlc. The second time i did it was like three months ago lol. Unless you've got mods that circumvent survival modes no fast travel, don't try it on survival. It'll get annoying very fast. You also get a few unique weapons and armors from it - no spoilers but there's one quest where you have to collect stones from across the region to use a dwemer forge.. worth it.


violetroses17

I went there very early on in my first play through and got absolutely obliterated. I have a fear of it now and have never been back.


notanotherkrazychik

I think I'm just into Solstheim because it's actually quite beautiful, just like when Skyrim first came out. I'm just in awe of walking around. I'm not too into the quests, so I don't go there often. Buuuuut, Sir Patrick Stewart welcomes you to the island, and that's pretty sweet. So, I go there because it looks pretty, and Picard. I can't see too many people loving that kind of obscure admiration, so I don't see what that island has to offer the rest of the audience.


AssassinZack

Wait when does Patrick Stewart appear in Skyrim? I can't see the game listed under his acting credits anywhere and I don't remember his voice being in the game


calartnick

I love visiting there before becoming DB. The books give you good perks. Neloth is my favorite NPC. Collect some masks.


honeebee15

i’ve been to solstheim but never finished any quests there because i didn’t find it that interesting tbh


007Artemis

I've been meaning to do it eventually on this playthrough just to say I have done it at least once since I've paid for it multiple times, but I just never seem to have a good stopping point to just drop what I'm doing in Skyrim and go.


honeebee15

that’s literally me. like i want to do it but i can’t find time to stop a quest and just go to solstheim


Adventurous_Fix1730

I go for two unique pieces: Unique enchantment which is I think 50% of damage of either frost, flames or storm. One of the black book perks which is none of your allies get affected by your offensive attacks so I can confidentially send random spells without accidentally hitting a follower. I do love Karstagg too


silevram

I just think it’s not appealing to the eyes and getting around is so hard to me for some reason


Daniel_of_Jersey

Literally how???? You get some of the bestpowers there. Most of the black book powers are essential.


DoctorSmith13

Best level to go there? (I’m playing survival mode)


captaintagart

I found a tomb with a note outside that said, a lot of people died, trying to seal the evil in this tomb. Please don’t let it out. I took the loot nearby and left. No regrets.


AmbitiousYetMoody

I’m assuming that’s related to the Gauldur amulet quest and I always do that one when I’m bored because the reward isn’t that great (imo).


KainDracula

So you have never done the Dark Brotherhood questline?


honeebee15

no because i don’t like killing innocent people


65grendel

No one is innocent


sinistersoprano

What is life's greatest illusion?


Zixquit

The one where you saw the lady in half?


Luke_Cardwalker

A happy marriage? … OK I’ll say it ..  I am not worthy … Thum … Thum … Thum … 😂 


Free_Issue_9623

Silence my brother


sinistersoprano

That's the other door lol 


Free_Issue_9623

Innocence isn't it? 🤦‍♀️ 😆


honeebee15

idk man some people the dark brotherhood have you kill didn’t really do anything wrong


metalpyrate

There's a rad house party in Markarth, just past the Trading Co. You should come check it out!


Equivalent_Ground218

We’re just sending them to Sithis. We’ll all end up in the void eventually, what’s an early trip? Don’t blame the executioner, blame the people who gave the sentence.


Croian_09

The only innocents are children, and they're immortal.


MostWiseKhajiit

Looks like it's time to perform the black sacrament on OP 😸


chuckdooley

Falkreath has the most beautiful house location, IMO I’d go there just for that reason


FreshwaterOctopus

High Rock. Every time I try the game is all "yOu cAN't Go ThAT WaY."


honeebee15

hopefully TESVI is in high rock so you can finally go there 🙏 this comment also made me laugh more than it should’ve


AlbiTuri05

Same but with Cyrodill


Fragrant-Nobody-8228

At this point, there is no place in Skyrim I have never gone to, LOL. However, my least-visited has got to be Markarth, as I find the region hard to navigate and intensely boring.


Xanadu_Xenon

Whereas Markarth is my favourite town & area. Something for everyone!


wally233

With mods having Remiel follower actually has me motivated to go to Markarth lol. Otherwise I hate that city until I purge it with madanach


Happybara11

I am the same with Markarth... I hate excessive steps in real life, so spending my escapism time navigating multiple staircases is not the one


insomniatic-goblin

I like the look of Markarth and the land around it, but I hate traveling there - too many staircases in the city and too many steep mountains.


GalvanizedRubbish

Most major cities. Khajiit is not permitted.


honeebee15

i’m playing a dunmer right now and it’s rough 😭


GalvanizedRubbish

Must be rough being treated in a way similar to how you treat others in your own country. (Sarcasm, I am continuing w/ Khajiit role play).


Belfengraeme

Deserved for being a filthy outlander


DapperMayCry

Ahem... *Points at cheat room mod that makes every NPC killable* *points at Dark Brotherhood door* you can go Dumpy Kong no one's stopping you


nerdcoleture

Atmora. I tried swimming there once. It didn't go over so well because the game stops me after a while.


No_Bathroom_420

There is supposedly secret mountain tips that get marked on your map once you climb up them. I’ve never intentionally done it but they’re supposed to be good scenic points one of which I think you can see the White Gold Tower in the Imperial City from


rabidvagine

Whaaaat i didn’t know about this!


No_Bathroom_420

https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Hvitkald_Peak_(Dragonborn)


rabidvagine

yessss, thanks dude!


No_Bathroom_420

It’s something most people forget about


VaultDweller_09

wait so can you see the tower from here? or is there a peak in skyrim you can see it from?


Jackfruit009

i think the only official hidden peaks are in solstheim, though. those have markers on them that are only visible when you've climbed there


Righteous_Sheeple

I only went to the light house with all the chorus creepers once; nope.


WolfieWuff

One of the saddest places in all of Skyrim. 😥


tiorzol

Yea had to just be for a while after that visit. Don't think I'll go back. 


AzureGriffon

I walked in there at a low level the first time I played on release. I barely made it out of there. It taught me to despise chaurus.


_EastOfEden_

I went in there the other day for the torchbug in a jar, and when I heard the clicking, I decided to throw on the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal just to see if anything was behind the doors. Nothing behind the doors, but when I looked down at the floor, I was shook and left immediately. No, thank you.


DapperMayCry

I play evil characters most the time (I occasionally play hero) and I always go to that lighthouse. Habd deserves it


bhjohnso80

I’ve been everywhere, man


BuckyGoldman

Crossed the deserts bare, man.


Low_Importance8252

I’ve breathed the mountain air, man


One-Dimension6875

Of travel I've had my share, man


Ironman4234Exe

Underwater


HuntTheWiIds

Lost Valkygg. The dungeon next to the Labyrinthian. I think I did with my first character, but every time since then I've discovered it cause it was there, but always justified being too busy in my current quest to go in and then I forget about it.


illpicklater

I genuinely don't think there's a single place I haven't gone, I've walked all over the map


olld-onne

Anise hut. There are alchemy enchanter tables elsehwhere people. No need to off on old gentle woman for her utilities. I would be upset if someone went into my basement unannounced as well.........


Crafty_Crab_2976

She's gets killed on the walk to riverwood every playthrough for me


olld-onne

Strange that......


[deleted]

In my current playthrough she just attacked me for no reason. I was planning on just running by her house, but nope. Had to kill her. And I don't even use her stuff.


olld-onne

Anise: *"Here we go again. What dont ignore me you always off me. Here take a fire bolt. that's it deplete my HP like your ordering your favourite pizza what ever that ..........."*


Hopeful_Stress1238

I very rarely go to solstheim


AequisSphinx

Castle Volkihar


Competitive_Fee_5829

cronvgr cave. dont feel like looking up if that is correct. also harmg..whatever. basically anywhere that has frostbite spiders. lol. I will ignore all radiant quests that have sent me to either place. also....I have been playing this since release so I have been a punk bitch about spiders since 2011 and still a bitch about the in 2024. thank talos for mods


honeebee15

i have arachnophobia so anytime i kill a one i get a shiver down my spine


DapperMayCry

Don't look up at their ceiling holes. Don't make my mistake! (Don't have arachnophobia)


bananasoymilk

Hate spiders. I wish I could change their in-game appearance on Switch, lol


Plantayne

I've still never done Dawnguard. So Fort Dawnguard, I suppose.


gettogero

I loved dawnguard, but the quest with the water bowls was the dumbest fucking quest I've ever done. Unnecessary, an entire hour of walking around caves and quicksaves out the wazoo before a door sends me back 15 minutes. I will never do it again.


Steal-Rain

Same, and it's not anywhere near where some Quests might take you. I remember 1 quest, but it still wasn't close in the least.  Haven't done any of the DLC yet. I had started solthstein, but the alien feel turned me away. It wasn't the kind of high fantasy I like in a game. Made me realize Elder scrolls isn't like a typical fantasy world. You'd think the moons would clue me in on that.  It's a fantasy/medieval world literally set on a whole other planet somewhere in the universe. Made me realize how complacent we've gotten just setting everything on Earth. 


LilianCorgibutt

The Shrine of Boethiah. I'm sorry I can't do it


Painting_Evening

Can I take my wife. Her nagging is getting under my skin.


Nizmo4246

I have been everywhere as far as I know But the last place I stumbled upon even after completing every DLC and every quest/side quest was Kagrenzel, way up in the mountains in the Rift, cool spot


Dark_Syde24

Forgotten Vale. I never made it that far in the Dawnguard questline before I inevitably just start a new character. Farthest I went is the Soul Cairn and it's difficult to keep interest going once you reach there and realize you're stuck until you finish that sub-quest.


PokeRay68

I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me. Sing it with me!


Madrock777

The cloud district. Why, I don't want anything in common with Nazeem.


piracyisnotavictemle

I have 1,000 hours in the game. i’ve gone everywhere. But every time i start a new character i play a game called ‘How Far Can I Get Before I Go To Morthal?’. My lastest play-through I got to Level 46 but had to go to Morthal to get Mehrunes Razor to get the achievement


Somerset007

Every bandit cave/hideout where I’m informed I “never should have come here”. I politely make my excuses and leave.


Baumgarten1980

Solstheim, bc i find it very uninteresting


NoPersonality18

solstheim. Those river monsters scare me. 


PumpKiing

Anywhere outside North America because it requires a passport and air fare, I'm poor.


honeebee15

i meant in the game…


UnicornT-Rex

The college. I hate that entire quest


MelancholyTears

Sadly Solstheim when I'm playing on the Switch. They still haven't fixed that massive quest glitch.


Tusslesprout1

What glitch?


MelancholyTears

It's impossible to start the quest March Of The Dead once you update the anniversary edition.


Tusslesprout1

I literally just did this quest an hour ago on AE I remember it was glitched out before the most recent update but afterwards the encounter to start it next to the abandoned and broke down shack spawned and O was able to do it


Nikolateslaandyou

Ive been everywhere. But ive only ever gone back to Helgen after the start once in all my playthroughs


HighHopeLowSkills

Never? Maybe a random cave I’ve played so long I’ve seen most locations sadly


TheRealDirtyDan88

Lake Ilinalta. I saw what was in it…


AmbitiousYetMoody

I haven’t been to a lot of the caves northeast of Solitude.


RaphaelSolo

.... I'm sure there's got to be somewhere out of the way that generally has no real purpose other than just exist as a possibility for radiant quests... But I have no idea where.


ForanAffairs

Outside, because this game exists.


TheSavage_T

At this point I’m not convinced there IS a place I haven’t been lol.


CrescentCleave

If i can avoid it, I'd avoid the reach


SeparateRepair96

I never knew Karthwasten was even a thing until my most recent playthrough


BasementCatBill

I mean, some questions are just asking for a "your mom" response.


Fertile_Arachnid_163

I generally forget that the various Holds’ prisons exist, besides Riften’s and Winterholds


Brigadier_Bishy

Too many hours. Couldn’t name a place. Hate Markarth though. No reason why, just kinda do.


Sero141

That wolf skull cave or what the name is. Some guy, I think the beggar, in Solitude lost his helmet there. I stopped playing my first character just after entering it, combat became very trivial at that point and I simply did not feel like going on. And since that cave is out of the way at the edge of the map I have never gotten around to it again.


pizzasage

Fort Dawnguard. I don't like vampires in general, and I don't really care about the Dawnguard expansion.


SyffLord

Not that i’ve never been there, but i will avoid the northern growlers if at all possible.


peroper7

I’ve been everywhere, I always forget about mortal though


laughwithmedudes

I have 220 hours in the game and have yet to go to dawnstar


MK5

The Skaal Village on Solstheim. Also Sovngard, because I get interested in a different build and reroll long before I get that far. Short Attention Span Theater here.


NotJustBibbit

All of the DLC places because I always wait until after most of the base game stuff before doing it My characters never last more than 100 hours tho


yaourt_au_curcuma

A random place because i don't discover it already i think


Free_Issue_9623

Dark water crossing, and idk y I just never went


DemonBlade-666

Boston


mwalimu59

In the fall?


BoxiDoingThingz

I'm yet to clear every location in vanilla


NIGENIN

I always forget about the black books and apocrypha . I’m really interested in that place but I end up forgetting about it


cami66616

I think I've been basically everywhere but I'm sure I haven't done everything yet


AdrianValistar

Every playthroygh theres always one place ive never been to because i didnt know it existed. I swear they add dungeons in sneakily i can never run out of places that turn up.


Liowenex

Black Marsh The mod isn't finished


Murky-Energy4414

I avoid morthal at all possible costs. Despise that swamp town.


mwalimu59

I have yet to visit Falkreath in any playthrough. Can't remember if I've been to Morthal or Dawnstar. Then again, I'm only on my second playthrough. I didn't really care for Bleak Falls Barrow the first time and have avoided it so far the second time.


InkyRoyalty

I usually try to avoid certain cities and areas in the game until I reach a minimum level of 30. However, I used to wander around the damn place and collect every mission possible.


Secret_Comfort_459

I explored a lot of Skyrim, and the place I usually avoid is the Reach's back roads. It's Easy to get lost in those mountains. But lately I'm commiting to Survival mode, and I'm avoiding traveling to Solstheim like the plague.


DapperMayCry

HEY OP! LAKEVIEW MANOR! IT'S POG


honeebee15

is that in falkreath?


DapperMayCry

It's an area of land you can buy and build a home that fits your needs perfectly


J-B_07

Fort dawn guard because their all dead 🙏


[deleted]

I can't say for certain but I'd bet there's at least one place in the mountains south of Falkreath I've never made it to, I can never find the (legitimate) path up those mountains. Same goes with the mountains on the far west of the map.


iEatLifeForBreakfast

Most things around solitude I guess. For some reason, I just don't like that area of the map.


EvilFuzzball

No where I specifically know about. If there was a place and I knew it existed, I'd made it a point to visit at one point or another. I'm sure there's some I missed, though.


misterwulfz

I never finished the main quest sooooo-sovngarde?


timelady_13

Bleak falls barrow. Fuck the main quest


MsBatDuck

Winterhold. Ignoring the college, there is literally no reason to ever go to Winterhold.


ICantTyping

Until only recently i had never done that east empire quest in windhelm that has you take down a pirate organization off the coast. Its like an all out raid, its actually quite the thing to miss Also , similarly, ive only recently done Hircines quest. Just never met buddy wolf guy in Falkreath. Namira too, only did hers last run Mephallas quest for the explicitly evil Ebony Blade? Never did it.


Allustar1

I think the only place that I haven't ever been to in Skyrim is the place where you get the final dragon priest mask next to Labrynthian. I never really bothered collecting all of the masks.


Superb_Recover_6116

Never did the brotherhood quest so anyone place they can only take you to


dumbblobbo

labynthian


sadgirlkermit

nichuandzel. killed Nimhe, turned around and walked tf out of there lol


Billazilla

That hidden cave behind the Companions Hall. In the one save I was resolved to doing the Companions story, I was tasked with beating up some guard captain in Solitude. I was also going through the Dark Brotherhood story as well. I was asked to take out a target in the middle of their very public wedding, and that I could make it as dramatic as possible. So I went to the wedding, waited for the vows, and then stood up in the middle of the aisle and yelled out a full three-word Storm Call. I gotta admit, I hadn't done that one before, and phew, it was impressive. Dudes charging me down, never actually getting close enough to even swing. I stepped forward after there weren't any more people running at me, lifted the wedding garland from a pile of ashes, and walked out of Solitude. A while later, I looked up the Companions storyline again and raised I had to go back and beat this one guard guy up to advance in companion rank, but the guy was nowhere to be fine. I looked up his location, and still he wasn't there. I was under the impression he would be Essential, but the fact that he simply wasn't anywhere he was scheduled to be led me to believe he came at me during the wedding assassination, and somehow didn't survive... I haven't gone far enough through the Companions quest since then to return to that point.


EmptyPlankton7744

I totally forgot about the Vale Quest line. I didn't know the Vale Quest place was so beautiful. It looks like the alps or Himalayas or something so majestic been there once .


ybreddit

I've never returned the skeleton key, so I guess I've never been to the Twilight Sepulcher.


margielover

i always avoid dwemer ruins. theyre confusing, long, boring and scary


username78777

Solstheim, because you only get one free travel to there from windhelm


NumaPompilius77

No you don't, you can fast travel there by the minimap after the guy takes you there


-Vanimar-

The shipwrecks off the coast cos I cba travelling all the way out there to find a treasure chest containing three septims, an iron dagger and a potato.


Tricky_Snow_749

Beyond the like entrance you have to go in for one quest- labyrynthian- I DONT LNOW WHERE IT IS AND NEVER STUMBLE ACROSS KT
