Daggerfall Overlook Boat Party - Limited Time only

obscure7 · February 2018

According to this specific text in the patch notes:

"Made a number of small improvements to the invisible collision boundaries in Daggerfall Overlook."
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4762869/#Comment_4762869

there is a hole in the invisible wall of Daggerfall Overlook, which leads to the "out of bounds" area of the house. In this area, you can basically run around the shell of the empty city of Daggerfall City and the immediate harbor. The highlight of all this is the boat sitting in the harbor, which is an almost complete replica of the boat sitting in the harbor of Daggerfall city proper. It is just sitting there, begging to be decorated.

So I decorated it. Here is my creation of the Boat Party at Daggerfall Overlook:

A few closing notes:
- I didn't discover the hole in the invisible wall - I was clued in by visiting someone else's home.
- The patch goes live on February 12, so this boat party will be up until Feb. 11, at which time I will tear it down just in case the items become inaccessible
- consoles get an extra 2 weeks if anyone cares to decorate or explore their "out of bounds" areas
- ZOS, you really need to make a houseboat available for decoration. it was so much fun decorating this boat.
- PC NA @obscure7 if anyone wants to visit in person

ZOS please don't close this gap on the boundary

I don't think the hole is there on PS4NA. I can't find it.

MilwaukeeScott · February 2018

I found it on ps4. Big awesome for you!

You dont have to worry about loosing these items. Anything placed out of the invisible walls of a house can still be retrieved with the "retrieve" feature of the housing editor.
That is ofc only if ZOS does not touch anything else except the invisible walls.

That's so cool. Now I want a houseboat to decorate!

Love the creativity and time you put into this! Thank you for sharing here as well as the invite for people who want to see it in person. I'm going to try to make the time to stop by and view this in all its glory.

Unless they are going to make a boat player home I don't think they should close it

Suldyne · February 2018

Wow, this is awesome! I see at the end you begin to go toward the city. Are you able to actually go into it or is there an end to how far you can go?

ZOS, please don't patch this, it's amazing!

I wish this didn’t have to be patched. The creativity here is amazing! Wonderful job, OP!

Delphinia · February 2018

This is just fabulous! I am really in awe here. I especially love the stage you made with all of the instruments!
How absolutely inspiring and creative!

butternutbutt · February 2018

SO AWESOME! Got to visit bc a guildie was there, lots of people there running around exploring and spreading the word to friends. I have to say that the excitement of getting to explore this forbidden realm was taken to the next level by Obscure's incredible creativity! Was really neat.

Btw if you jump through the cave behind the church and into the water you can swim all around in the upside down- and there's at least one hidden house down there

F5 works if you get stuck in your explorations!

FloppyTouch · February 2018

Please don’t take away the only real boat we have in game! @ZOS_GinaBruno anyway they can let us keep the boat????

obscure7 · February 2018

Thanks for the responses everyone!

The thing I'm worried about is if ZOS decides to do something wacky besides just fixing the invisible wall, such as replacing the outside scenery with something similar but different, or making it a separate instance entirely. Better safe than sorry.

This sounds amazing! I definitely have to check this out.

That is absolutely amazing! Well done to you, Sir!

obscure7 · February 2018

Just a final reminder / last call for this. On Monday Feb. 12 the Dragon Bones patch hits, and the boat party will be gone!

To those who visited, thanks for dropping by and I hope you liked it.

Faunter · February 2018

@obscure7 Did you find the secret underwater house near the wayshrine?

radiostar · February 2018

The beach and boat were Fantastic!

Gargath · February 2018

Looks awesome but it's an exploit that should be dealt with.
I also want to reach the waterfalls outside of forsaken stronghold but I can't.
I'm jealous someone can have a ship they didn't bought and I can't have the waterfalls.

I wish that awful semi unusable dip in FS was a pond/spring with a waterfall coming down and out.
