    Since you haven't actually explained what on earth you're talking about, I guess the answer has to be no, we're not going to be able to talk about it.

    What he is saying is that ZOS got lazy and pulled a picture of mountains for the background on the Greymoor page. The picture shows a ski-lift, telephone poles, etc. Those details are hidden, but they are still in lower center of the picture.

    Lol! Looks like they literally took some stock photo of a ski range and applied a filter on that ***. Can't say I'm surprised at this point.

    The technology was likely stolen from Sotha Sil.

    Ahh. You mean Dwemer. The previously undiscovered Dwemer ruin of Chamonixand. That explains a lot.

    Oh come on, it was clearly the Reachmen, Nords drink far too much to even steal this stuff...

    That image also shows utility polls just below and to the right of the ski lift.

    It would be interesting to find the source of this image as it is doubtful anyone at Zos created it considering both items are not expected.

    But how can we prove that there won't be skiing in Greymoor? All the evidence we currently have says there will be.

    So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.

    This must not be Solitude then, because if you stand in this spot in Skyrim there aren't mountains like that in the background.


    But hey, they are the masters of retcon, so they'll make it work.

    No need. Marketing people live in their own personal fantasy world. :tongue: For the same reason, the game does not resemble what we see in the cinematic trailers.

    True that.

    "Welcome to Greymoor, where Lyris Schrodingerborn (both dead and alive at the same time) will take you on a quest to the lost Dwemer ruin of Chamonixand, where you will learn the forgotten Dwarven art of skiing while helping to build a scale model of Solitude high in the mountains! Preorder now!"

    To be fair, it’s not unreasonable to avoid Reddit links. I’ve gone there via a link, 2 hours later I realized I was stuck in a Reddit rabbit hole.

    I think they started out with high expectations... they just got a little burned out by the end of the day. ;)
