Logical inconsistencies in Skyrim
Well I was in Riverwood just walking around selling stuff and fighting dragons when it all of a sudden dawned on me, the sawmill is on a mini island, not the "mainland"(for the lack of a better word).
It got me thinking why would Beth place it there? It just seems odd because as you can see the sawmill and bridges are made of wood and it would cause a lot of hassle to get logs over the bridges when it wasn't really needed.
Just made this to see if anyone else has noticed any other strange logic errors.

The river in Falkreath flows out of a spring about ten metres upstream of the mill and flows into a cave about the same distance downstream.

Re: Logical inconsistencies in Skyrim
Dragons can fly with little leather wings. Alduin can eat the world. I can breath fire and not get hurt. I can eat souls, dead bodies can walk, and I'm not talking about draugr it's a glitch. And I don't even want to bring up lockpicking. If you want more, I got plenty of them.

Them Dragon bones are heavy, even in game. Those wings would do nothing. I couldn't fly with those wings.

Walking around casually, with an arrow/ice spike through your head.
That just isn't normal.

Another inconsistency, why can you loot dragon scales after a dragons death, the only thing that is left are the bones.

Possibly the worst logical fault the game has:

Re: Logical inconsistencies in Skyrim
This is where roleplaying comes in: If you were in the Elder Scrolls universe, you wouldn't have an ice spike in your head. It's a feature in the game that occasionally interferes with realism, along with other little things, like not needing food to fast travel, stuff like that, needs to be fixed with your imagination. It's a game mechanic, but one that if you really care that much about, you can fix that.

I know Frosty, I don't mind all the little things that break realism.
I just like complaining about stuff.

It IS hilarious though, when you turn around to ask your follower to do something, only for them to look straight at you, with an ice spike taking up space in their skulls.
The one thing that did bother me in Skyrim was Proudspire Manor, though it is minor; there's a freakin' hearth going on in the lower levels with no ventilation whatsoever, added to that, there's an alchemy lab too. Pretty sure my Dragonborn would be coming down to mix up a few potions, only to run out later because of the noxious fumes ; A;
Also
Why does the Hall of Attainment and Countenance have no doors for each quarter? o___o;;;

I'm sorry, but I can't finish reading this, every time I get to "intercourse" I start giggling like a 12 year old girl on helium.

Re: Logical inconsistencies in Skyrim
No, do you really need a Dragon Age style cut-scene? What would you do if you married someone, and they had to lay next for you for it to work. "Oh, I know, lets give each other 'back-rubs'." You would give your wife a "back-rub", I swear the things people do get weirder every day.Believe wrote:Yes.

Re: Logical inconsistencies in Skyrim
I was wondering if I made some terrible mistake coming back to this forum. You two are helping me clear away any of those misgivings.
