By the tree I'd say in the Reach, and the mountains in the background could be Haafingar, but the target doesn't fit any of the places that come to mind... Hm. Tricky. *goes away to meditate*

Doesn't look snowy enough, but I'm going to guess with Angi's Camp area.

Sorry, not Angi's Camp. As a small hint I'm posting higher resolution image and inviting you to look for something interesting in the background, to Marius' right.

Ah. I know where this is (I actually just took a screenshot in the same spot)... I'm not going to say it, though. I just won one. Somebody else can have this one.

Edit:
Also, thank you for picking something not immediately obvious. Nothing wrong with picking something easy, but it is more interesting when you have to think about it.

Its definitely in the Reach somewhere. Just going to take a wild guess...Red Eagle Redoubt? The entrance to it that's across the way from the bandit camp.

Yeah, it's at Red Eagle. The target is in the Forsworn camp, though.

Have to wait for dzio's word now. I might be making a guess for the next one. Maybe...
Should those who win have to wait for a few rounds (maybe two, depending on how fast things are going) before guessing again? In order to give others a more fair chance.

Yes, Dohva is absolutely right, it's the upper camp of Red Eagle Redoubt. Here's the picture of what's behind Marius:

Sorry for the wait, I'm in Europe, so I'm asleep a lot of the time you guys are running around the forums. ;) Also, Mauin, I really wish I could make my Skyrim look as awesome as yours. In my picture you can barely see the arches of Volskygge (that was the hint from the previous post).

I was running an ENB in mine (Phinix Natural or something like that). It doesn't look like that all the time. The ENB is only on for screenshots... Can't run it for longer without either melting my PC or my eyes. My Skyrim looks ordinary most of the time. All I really have are 1k textures, a weather mod, and maybe a few other things. I can't remember anymore. I'm not even sure how I got my potato running all that.

Yeah, I noticed the arches of Volskygge, but what gave the location away for me was the position of the target, the tree, and the plant. I knew that was in a Forsworn camp, but I didn't know exactly which one until I visited a few. Well... Two. Red Eagle was the second stop.

Isn't that the one in the Jerall Mtns, a little bit SW from Froki's Shack, near the path that leads to Arcwind Point?

Yes. I went for an easy one this time. Couldn't really be bothered to find a less obvious location.
The annoying thing about that shrine is that I can never pick up the books that are there... I tried, but I couldn't activate them. Turns out they were actually down on the path below. I have no idea how they got there, but they did.

You're lucky I just came on here... I was about to go to bed. It's your turn now, Finn.

... whereas I in Old Europe across the salty sea was just having a short look at the forum over my morning tea before going to work, where I am now. Will post picture when I get home.

EDIT: It seems the locations of most of my screenshots are either blatantly obvious or so unobvious I forgot where I took them. :lol: But I think this one will do for now.
Where am I?

Now that didn't take long! :D Yes, that's it; the jutting black triangle in the upper left quarter is the High Hrothgar plateau seen from below. Your turn, Zephyr!

Wow. I don't know if I'm extra tired right now or what, but I just found myself asking, "Where's Ivarstead?"

:roll: Ugh. You think I'd know that after 3000 hours, but apparently the simple things can still slip away. And then come running back with a moment of Duh.

I've actually never noticed that. :lol: What I recognized are the vegetation and the jutting rock on the right side.

Somewhere really blurry. Forelhost? Assuming the lightning is from a shock rune.

Edit:
Nope. Not Forelhost. All I can see is blur and a shock spell. Nothing that really gives any hints of a specific location.
There's a chandelier in the background, but that's it.

Edit:
Looks like there's a stone head, too. And maybe some arches.
One thing is clear, though... I need new glasses.

You got it, Dohva! The shock rune was triggered by the Flames spell, and the character's wearing Novice robes.
