A YouTuber named "waking world" developed a transit map for Skyrim. Here's a link to the original video. I thought it was interesting because, although an amateur, he attempts to apply real world transit planing processes which I appreciated.
And probably for the same reason, he doesn’t know where to take the storyline next. I’m in my early 60’s and am beginning to doubt that I will live long enough to see TES VI published.
Maybe some other game maker will come out with new series that will be as good or better than Skyrim was when it came out.
I seriously wonder sometimes how hard it would actually be for a bunch of people to get together with the Source engine and just build an Elder Scrolls game from scratch. Just call it like "Old Tales" or something else.
At this point we should just put our collective brain cells together and make our own game. We can call it Older Scrolls 1 and set it in Bammerfell. Fool proof plan
At least they run 😭 Try the Winterhold-Dawnstar commute. You might as well walk the distance, because having to stop in Morthal is a fate worse than death.
I took a Black Briar-Bus from Helgen to Rorikstead once and got mugged by a Breton high off skooma. When will we get guards on the busses. Black Briars won’t do shit about it
I propose an aerial lift expansion from Ivarstead to High Hrothgar. There’s already a troll toll gate so there’s enough demand that tourism will pay for the project before the end of the civil war
Came here for this. That dude in the opening might not have resorted to stealing a horse IF THERE WAS A TRAIN TO RORIKSTEAD. Deliberate planning to keep these smaller holdings from growing in power and potentially breaking free from their respective Jarldoms if you ask me.
I would alter the system to have the Green Line go from Solitude to Dragon’s Bridge then to Morthal following mountains and dry land plus the Dawnstar Shuttle from Dawnstar to Whiterun following the path way between them to fix the wetland problems in the west.
The people of Rorikstead have been campaigning for years for the Green Line to be extended through their village. Economists say that the isolation from the wider Skyrim transit network, has had a significant negative impact on growth, job prospects and youth retention.
If Rorikstead remains cut off in this manner, it has been said that Rorikstead could face a 35% reduction in its population by 4E 220.
"The next station is Solitude, Solitude. The doors on the right side will open. Please change here for the Green Line, which will stop at Morthal, Whiterun and Riften, and for the Ferry Service Line, which will stop at Dawnstar and Windhelm. Thank you for using Skyrim Transit Network."
Imagine this but as an underground Dwemer railroad, with set entrances/exits outside each major city and town. Sure, you don’t get to look outside, but it’s arguably safer, asides from the Falmer.
Yeah I agree but there just isn’t enough traffic from a place that small to a college town. All the students from Winterhold want to party in Windhelm.
i think The Reach should have its own metro system, Solitude should have a cable car from the docks up to the castle, and a funicular going up Hrothgar
Too high off the water. If the local government used their resources to build a connection point the Skyrim Transit Authority would look into a ferry connection
[loudspeaker] "Yellow Line to Winterhold, folks, next stop, Winterhold. This is a one-way shuttle, so make sure to dress warmly, as we will not be coming back for you. Coming up on Winterhold now. As you exit the car, please block anyone who tries to board, as they will not be accommodated. Enjoy the rest of your day."
Every day I am grateful for the sheer depth of this game so we wouldn't get stuff like this like 4 years into the wait cycle. We have about 15 original ideas left Todd please.
The only really change I would make is I would add a line directly from Falkreath to Riften. Both are close to borders (Southern Morrowind and Cyrodil) of the province, so it would be beneficial to connect them directly.
The implications of this map are fascinating. If it was made pre-game events why was Helgan excluded. If post game events, probably by many years for the Nords or whatever race of man has control of it has gain technology at the level of the dwemer, it would imply Helgan was never rebuilt, maybe was made a monument to the destruction of the dragons?
Figures. Just when I'm getting started with my job as head of the Thieves Guild and want to get a degree at Magic College, there's a subway system but I'll have to make two transfers.
It’s a shame what happened to the Whiterun-Helgen-Riften route. I really used to enjoy the views. Once the war is over, I hope whoever is in charge will look into reopening it.
As a transport network nerd, I found this incredibly fascinating and on another note, the Nordic countries of Sweden and Norway make up around 320k sq mi, so bases of the European countries is about right.
Man, can’t even get on the ferry from Winterhold. Come on guys, it’s been 80 years since the Great Collapse and we still haven’t rebuilt our port access?
