@lagrue
I'm not teaching anybody anything.
Everyone can see by just looking at their map that there are islands to the north of Vvardenfell.

Please point me to where i *teach* people how to get there?

PS: I have politely declined every single request i have ever gotten where people wanted to know how to get to a certain location.
None of my posts show you how to get there, they only show you that it can be done.

You mean aside from screenshots of specific map locations and even going as far as to suggest specific skills to be used? Or do you need more?

Just because you're giving out crumbs doesn't mean you aren't walking the line lol even with limited information you are giving enough for people to replicate your feats

Why are you getting mad at this guy? Let him do him, and you do you. No need to get up in someone's grill about it. Its not like you personally designed the game. If he wants to explore the game out of bounds, let him. I'd do the same if i could figure out how.

Alright, fair enough, post some screenshots of you on the islands north of Vvardenfell.

Since i gave you enough information to replicate my feat, that should be easy enough ....

Well that is a world first (and for once it's *not* Hodor!), i found intractable objects outside of a map!

Map: Stormhaven
Location: Southeast corner, on the shores of Bangkorai
Object(s): A (owned) Keg and (owned) fish hanging at the end of a clothing line. Both can be looted.

From personal experience, game developers were always not exactly happy with players going further with their explorations / imaginations within games, than the actual developers were going / set free to go. Fans of games in the history of gaming (mostly from late 90's on from my knowledge) always had some rather vivid imaginations, which were sometimes apppreciated and implemented even by developers themselves, and in many cases going further than the developers themselves were allowed / able to (publisher or owner financing borders).
Don't take my word for any supported fact, just something I've been observing in many years of gaming, so feel free to disagree.

As someone who has spent many years in the gaming industry as a developer, i know from first hand experience that someone somewhere will always figure out something that no developer had thought of, ways to get to places that weren't meant to be reached, using game mechanics in ways nobody imagined.

It always comes with mixed emotions ...

SirAndy · October 2018

And then i entered the twilight zone!

Got far enough south the get into a empty version of Bangkorai and ended up where the Nilata Ruins Wayshrine and Nilata Falls Worldboss would be.

The basic terrain is there, even parts of the waterfall. The entrance to the Sunken Road tunnel is just a gaping hole in the world mesh!

If you look at my minimap, it says Stormhaven but actually shows the correct map for Bangkorai with the correct coordinates.

SirAndy · October 2018

And then there's a whole (empty) version of Evermore, including the Pelin Graveyard ...

So far i haven't been able to find anything that was "exploitable" and i've been doing this kind of exploring since early beta.

This is the first time i have ever seen something that was lootable and it is a frigging keg that gives me one random useless drink.

I don't know about you, but i think there are a few more pressing issues with this game than this ...

True but dont get me wrong okay? i wish no harm to my fellow play mates. About the other issues well yeah they should focus on them way better.

Jaimeh · October 2018

Thank you for adding the map pointers--I've always wanted to try seeing an out-of-map area, now I have a sense of where to look, and I'm going to try Eyevea

Also, I was wondering why your characters were naked, but then read the comment about repairs, initially I thought it might be some explorer's rite

Thats not out of bounds, ive been there before its just real out of the way. Theres even NPCs to talk to, which im sure you too saw. Why'd you claim that spot was outside the map?

Master_Fluff · October 2018

It is out of bounds. Those NPCs you are referring to are in Bangkorai, not Stormhaven.

skeleton boss in Crypt of Hearts 2. Usually end up someone being punched out of walls

@ArchMikem
The NPCs you are talking about are in the Bangkorai zone, not Stormhaven.

Where i am is in the Stormhaven zone and it has a basic copy of the Bangkorai coast, but without any NPCs or other interabctables (besides the Keg i found).

Now the real question, would you have been able to do this without my post?

I think this spot in particular is somewhat easy to figure out.

You are crazy good at getting out of bounds. I made a post a while ago about this check it out

I still think many people wouldn't even being trying to figure it out - regardless of how easy - if you weren't pointing the way. You even encouraged me to do it...

Tbh though I'm more sad this thread even came back up. I still to this day wish there was a way to mute threads permanently because I don't even care either way anymore. I only originally posted because I didn't wanna see you get in trouble - but at this point it's obvious nobody cares at ZOS, you don't care, so I don't either.

Here is my special place on the map. I already found a few of those but some are patched.
I even managed to make a clip using the awesome game music.
