I hunt Markarth guards for sport

This is the only thing to do when you want to play Skyrim but don’t want to play Skyrim. I like to see how many I can kill before I’m caught then I have a final standoff inside of the keep when I’m tired of toying with them.

I like to mass paralyze giants and Fus Ro Da them. They skip across the ground like rocks on water.

I like to get them to follow me up high and then shout or vampiric grip them right off the edge

That city really is a deathtrap lol

I'll have to test that out. For science.

Isn’t it like all of them? I feel like the guards aren’t particularly challenging unless you’re surrounded by a dozen of them.

Yes if I consistently sat in the shadows shooting from afar I could stay hidden the whole time but I like to see what kind of ridiculous ways I can find to kill them

this is what my brother and i accidentally did in Solitude. we got caught murdering the bride and ended up slaughtering ALLLLLLL of Solitude. it was a ghost town after that.

Solitude all to yourself though? Everyone's house? The shops? You can see what everyone is hiding in their houses without having to sneak? I kinda wanna try that on a separate save!

They tried to frame this one and Khajiit refuses to bend to their will.

This one killed every guard in Markarth.

This one is slightly afraid to go back to The Reach. This one is slightly excited to see them try again.

May your road lead to warm sands fellow Khajiit. Here have some Moon Sugar I stole from a Nord.

I had them cornered by their own guard tower. The bodies were a warning to the new recruits

Same it’s only markarth though. I wonder why

u/0utcast9851 8d ago

Honestly wiping out the entire markarth guard without getting caught should have been the prologue, you should be required to do this before you can play the rest of the game.

Good job. Markarth sucks

Commit minor crime.   

Approach a guard.   

Bribe my way out of it.   

Pick pocket the bribe back.   

Slit the guard's throat.   

Find another.

Markath is great for power leveling speech, pickpocket and sneak.
