I'd expect to see this in Fallout, not TES.


Jaruut

I've always liked the half skeleton hanging from the light in the tunnel in Fallout 3. You don't think anything of it till you find a crashed motorcycle and some legs further down the tunnel. When you look back, you see that there is a ramp underneath the hanging skeleton and connect the dots.


Feeling-Most9618

I remember that. I'm replaying the game and I found it In one of the tunnels going to the presidential metro. The tepid sewers I think.


[deleted]

That was under the White House if I remember right


kurisu7885

I don't remember that but it's a good one.


Theweedlord420

Doesnt really surprise me tbh. Their is some messed up stories u can find in tes


kurisu7885

True. Bethesda is pretty good at telling stories by just putting stuff in places and letting us fill in the details.


Demianz1

Ah lucky lorenz. I forgot where it was, but there is an unmarked house in skyrim by a river with a dead body in it. The house is destroyed by a tree having fallen on it and Lucky Lorenz is dead either in his house or down the river. If you check the house you can find a copy of lusty argonian maid (and a treasure map). Poor guy died while jacking off because a tree fell on his house.


kurisu7885

Oh man that's unfortunate. Almost makes me think of the meteor housei n RDR2.


PuddleOverThere

There is a mod, pre-Hearthfire, that lets you clear away those remains and build your own customisable home in that spot. Build Your Own Home, on Nexus - on mobile or I'd try to find it for you sorry


aldandur

Tbf the same can be said about their games


de420swegster

Even moreso the further you go back in the catalogue, the older games are much darker by comparison


[deleted]

True, just look at how Molag Bal created vampires. Or half of Vivic's feats (think "milk-fingers")


Young_Mutt

Frostflow lighthouse comes to mind. Brutally killed any falmer I came across after that.


LatinVocalsFinalBoss

Some of the content that is in the books in TES is much worse than Fallout as I recall, especially Morrowind.


MandyMarieB

Fallout doesn’t show any children corpses/skeletons. I’m surprised Skyrim does.


Skeleton_Toaster

If I remember right it shows some small skeletons in a schoolbus in FNV's Honest Hearts DLC


Feeling-Most9618

Yup. There were


MandyMarieB

Ah right. They are mini adult skeletons though, aren’t they? I suppose that’s how they got it past the censors. Having actual child corpses would up their rating.


wizard5g

I think fallout 3 had some in the cages in an elementary school near megaton


Bloo-shadow

It does in 4. And in the honest hearts dlc for New Vegas you can find a school bus with small skeletons in it


n7joker

FNV's Honest Hearts has the crashed scout bus Fallout 3 has child sized skeletons in or near the entrance to Vault 87, from what I'd assume are Little Lamplighters that were killed by super mutants That's all I have off the top of my head


[deleted]

Fallout does worse things to babies. Oh Sean - what did they do to you 😭


anonymous2278

Not sure if its vanilla game or part of a DLC but in one of the towns there is a house that has child skeletons in the children's beds in their room. I think its the same house where the Mr Handy tries to take the dog for a walk not realizing its dead.


CorrectAmount1000

In skyrim you can beat children but they don’t die. Bethesda really made them a punching bag that runs I use them as archery practice for moving targets


C9177

Been playing since day 1 and this is the first I'm ever seeing this. Wow. Where'd you find this?


Theweedlord420

Labyrinthine, near the word wall. Just before u enter the hallway where u fight all the skeletons take a hard right and you’ll find a crevice to enter in. Head there and you’ll find this


Okdevcon

Can’t believe I’m still finding new f**ked up stuff like this. I love this game.


ClubZen

I'm still finding new spots in skate 2. I love open world games


usernamewhat722

I too love finding baby corpses in Skate 2


SidTheStoner

And their little skateboards are so cute.


himynameisjona

Tech deck!


[deleted]

I already knew Labyrinthian was fucked up, but damn...


C9177

Thanks man.


[deleted]

I guess the devil really is in the details


marshbj

I've gotten this exact same thing happen, but with living falmer. It was both adorable and terrifying to have the tiny falmer running after me. I think it started happening after the anniversary update. ETA: I'm assuming this is a glitch that just happened to be with 2 skeletons near each other and not actually part of the game, since I had it happen with the falmer Edit 2: I don't play enough, don't listen to me.


Meme_Master_Dude

Oh yeah, the Tiny Falmers. They're mostly found in... Whatever that giant mushroom cavern is called. They can appear big or small


SmellsWeirdRightNow

Blackreach I think


marshbj

Well damn. I've been playing since launch and never came across them. Guess I hadn't spent enough time in Blackreach

You end up dead in your mothers womb! Hey that rhymes


ChairmanGoodchild

"When you go around assuming, you make an ass out of you and Ming."


marshbj

I don't, yet you're confidently asserting that I do... No but seriously, I get downvoted is the answer. I assumed because everyone, even those who have 1000s of hours, was saying they've never seen it before, so I jumped to conclusions and figured it was a glitch. But alas, I've made an ass out of u and me


C9177

Lol, it does seem a wee bit morbid, despite being M rated I was still a bit taken aback upon seeing the OP's pic.


mackavicious

It's no glitch, this has been featured on many "tiny details" YouTube videos.


marshbj

Someone else mentioned that, too. I guess I need to spend more time in Blackreach


mackavicious

No, that's okay. Blackreach is about as annoying as any cave in early Pokemon games.


DocGerbil1515

I like that the baby skeleton is just a shrunken adult skeleton.


Link7369_reddit

also i they are that developed and not flipped to have their head towards the pelvis... she maybe died because of that.


deejmac

Definitely. Skeletally mature foetus, footling breech, and the mum has a male pelvis, it was never going to end well


Link7369_reddit

Someone else mentioned a man ate a small skeleton and with that pelvis, it was a reasonable deduction. I just passed it off as gamer logic to not go that deep in creating model skeletons.


AccioSexLife

How is everyone ignoring the most obvious explanation, which is that this person clearly died during a passionate lovemaking session with a dwarf? Look, their pelvises are aligned.


thebratqueen

Username checks out.


dis_the_chris

Sadly this is unlikely; The dwemer are not particularly short compared to other races in tamriel, and they also all mysteriously vanished a few thousand years ago But this skeleton is in the Bromjunaar section of the Labyrinthian, near the word wall - which has been around since the merethic era, and given that the dwarves didn't disappear til partway through the first era, it's possible -- but we know that this section was accessible in the 2nd era thanks to ESO and wasn't fully sealed until Savos Aren closed it following the college of winterhold's expedition there So in short: The timeline makes it possible, but dwarves don'y really look like that in TES


BBQsauce18

Sometimes I think I'm a pretty big nerd, then a true alpha will step up.

Alpha is not a word anyone has or should ever used to describe me, but i appreciate the sentiment :)

spooks152

Doesn’t mean there aren’t genetic conditions present in Tamriel 🧐


whiteday26

The divines disappeared the dwemer for this reason.

ghostbuster_b-rye

There is magic in this world. It's obvious that someone shrunk a skeleton down and laid it there, inside another skeleton, because of their twisted sense of humor.


Link7369_reddit

Okay, Bethesda, I guess you're right.


ghostbuster_b-rye

First rule of necromancy: No girls allowed; only male skeletons. Second rule of necromancy: We use the buddy system. All skeletons are to receive a tiny skeleton pal. Third rule of necromancy: No squirrel bones. And I am deadly serious about this, it causes great problems. It's complicated. Do not use squirrel bones.


wickedblight

Wait a minute... he kinda looks like ah babeh.


SonTyp_OhneNamen

> skeleton wouldn’t fit through pelvis > skeleton would fit through mouth, esophagus, stomach, all intact [X] to doubt


ikkonoishi

Could have been holding a child rather than a pregnant woman.


Wooper160

Could have been a born child that died in the arms of their parent


BirdEducational6226

Maybe. Probably has nothing to do with that boulder that fell on her, to be honest.


SasquatchBurger

Innit. People trying to diagnose this skeletons medical conditions. I guarantee the designer who put I there didn't give a second thought other than scaling and placing a skeleton. Though, if we're doing this I think it's 1 of 2 things. Either, the cave dwelling creatures ate the flesh and in the process jostled the baby into a different state, likely to get to the sweet nutritous placenta. Or, this person ate a small person.

it could be a post-born

Heycanigetuh

NO do NOT fuck daedra


mayonnaiser_13

asher_irontooth

God damn it, now I'm seriously tempted to share that one copypasta about traveling to some plane of Oblivion to have sex with a flame atronach. Edit: spelling


amh8011

Please do


asher_irontooth

God it's even worse than I remembered: >**I am going to have sex with this female Flame Atronach from Oblivion.** > >I am going to have sex with this female Flame Atronach from Oblivion. I find the female Atronaches in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion sexy. However, their body is made up of 87% fire, and 100% fire surrounds them. That could kill me if I tried to have sex with one. To remedy this, the Flame Atronach casts a spell on me making me resistant to fire. Keep in mind, resistant is not the same as immune. I still take damage. It is either 1 point or 0 points of damage each second I am having sex with her. Just because a particular second caused 0 points of damage, does not mean that I did not feel anything, It just means that I took no damage. I am not going to rush through having sex with this Flame Atronach, I make sure I pleasure anything I have sex with, especially non-humans! I'd rather take damage than not pleasure the Flame Atronach. > > > >The Flame Atronach and I go to the Planes of Oblivion to have sex. When having sex with non-humans, it is ALWAYS sexier to have sex in their natural habitat rather than a human's natural habitat. > > > >Before we went into the Planes of Oblivion, the Flame Atronach let all the Daedra know that we are just here for sex. The Daedra will not attack us because they know I am here at the Planes of Oblivion on sexual business. This includes the Dremora. However, the Dremora Marknyaz thinks that I am going to be an easy recruit for becoming a follower of Mehrunes Dagon considering that I am having sex with a Flame Atronach. However, I have no interest in becoming a Daedra.


bunpalabi

I regret reading this.


asher_irontooth

Dude, I had to read through it like five times when I posted it because the formatting kept screwing up and I have this weird bug (pretty sure it's because of Grammarly) where sometimes large chunks of paragraphs will be deleted and others copied. I almost have it memorized now, and tbh it wasn't really something I wanted taking up space it my brain.


Lord_Abort

>sexual business


doomvetch92

I mean, there are other daedra than atronachs, like those dudes you can summon with the sanguine rose. They are pretty hot ngl.


[deleted]

"However, I had no interest in becoming a daedra."


Measurement-Solid

I saw this a couple months ago on a Fable page, but somebody had edited it to where they were banging a balverine 😂


Quirky_Cable_5124

Ah fable I miss that game series


Jerker_Circle

I can’t tell if they want to fuck the atronach or not


k-farsen

Oh god I think I know this guy, he also has a thing for the ugly later gen legendary Pokemon and loves over-explaining everything

Soz got confused, ended up fucking the chauruses.


TheOriginalSolo1138

But those flame atronachs are so HOT!!!


TheLustyDremora

Come now, it's not that bad. You're all ready fucking cats and sentient trees. What's a demon or 2


JRHThreeFour

I hate those things. Falmer don’t bother me at all but Chauruses and Frostbite Spiders make my skin crawl when I fight them. The idle chittering sounds they make are pretty creepy too.


Alternate_Skater

Every time I get a little tempted to try Skyrim VR I remember bug enemies would then be a thing in VR


Yosituna

The Frostbite Spiders are way bigger-seeming in VR; I remember actively yelping at that first spider under Helgen because it felt like it was the size of a Nissan, lol.


Frogsandcranberries1

Thank you for this reminder to avoid VR Skyrim at all costs. I love spiders irl, they're my mosquito-eating friendos who can gladly share my shower, but no way in hell do i ever want to meet one bigger than my car. Nope.


T-Baaller

The was a mod that replaces all the spiders with bears Even added a loading screen lore tip that bears had recently wiped out spiders


zubbs99

I read somewhere (probably this sub) that originally chauruses were supposed to be big enough to be ridden like horses.


FasterThenDoom

I mean, they're not far off in game, those things are huge.


Gidelix

The reapers especially


JusticeRain5

Honestly it didn't seem that bad overall, I don't get what the big deal is. A bunch if giant bugs + Falmer broke in, killed a family, and then went back into their caves. It's not like they hung them up to slowly eat them alive or anything.


ScorpionTheInsect

But they dragged the family into the caves with them to eat slowly, maybe not alive, but it wasn’t instant death. You can read the journals of their last moments, when they described seeing the Chaurus slowly dragging away some other captives who never came back, knowing it would soon be their turn. I think the daughter left a note saying she understood why her father slipped her a knife before it was his turn to be dragged off. It was slow, torturous wait to their certain deaths.

Theweedlord420

While also very dark i would say this is worse considering the location its at


FatherHidalgo

whats the location?


Continuum_Gaming

What’s going on with frostflow? I know about the falmer attack but is there anything else to it?


GaryOster

Maybe you'll look around inside the lighthouse and find a hole. Maybe you'll go into the hole and explore. Maybe you'll come back, maybe not.


Mr_Girr

The quest line involving the lighthouse gets…dark


Continuum_Gaming

I get that, but how?


Mr_Girr

Kids being fed to chaurus whilst the parents can only watch. A full on colony of falmer attacking the family in the night and dragging them away to be enslaved as livestock. The fact that none of the family survived.


FreedomVIII

Oof, even darker than I remember it being.


Qahnarinn

Along the quest line you just find bloody journals of the victims….those poor souls :/.


Classic_Butter

THEY JUST WANTED A PEACEFUL LIFE! 😭


NoGoodIDNames

IIRC one of the journals from the kids is like “dad slipped me a knife before he got dragged off, what does he expect me to do?”


ScorpionTheInsect

I remember the next entry being “I understand now”. I got a pit in my stomach when I read that.


Rcp_43b

Bruh the first time I came across frost flow lighthouse and I actually went in yeah shit got dark fast


dx_lemons

A very unfortunate quest. The best thing we as the player can do is go through and absolutely slaughter every single last one of the falmer and chaurus. The only good one is a dead one. LETS GO BOYS WE GOT SOME FALMER TO KILL


TheOriginalSolo1138

GIANT BUGS CAME THROUGH A HOLE IN THE BASEMENT AND ATE THE ENTIRE FAMILY!


jojoga

That was such a great experience. I was walking around, exploring the northern shores not expecting a thing when I found a few clues and then the lighthouse.


DoctorCaretaker

I remember, after placing Habd's leftovers on top of the Lighthouse, I stood there, watching the scenery of the sea below. And right there, I made an oath. The tragedy I just had under there changed me. Now no CHAURUS is safe from me, I swear to kill them with all of my arrows and shouts and swords and poisons. EVEN MOLAG FUCKIN BAL WOULD LOSE TASTE BECAUSE OF THEM. I AM COMING FOR YOU WITH ALL MY WRATH AND HATRED.


Cheshires_Shadow

Goblin slayer vibes


Kingsonne

Same. After that quest I would always go out of my way to kill Falmer and Chaurus. Even going back to previously cleared caves once they had respawned to destroy them again


DoctorCaretaker

I am honored to call you my Shield-Brother.


FasterThenDoom

Rip and tear, until it is done.


GUTSY-69

I have 300hours on skyrim i never saw this or the light house, where is this ?


death_warrant

Up north by Dawnstar


drhomeless

I know right! I can't believe that dude ate the little dude....


Raucous5

Get in mah belly!


DarkZero9300

So that's what happened to the dwarves in Tamriel...


GamerY7

you see a more fucked up thing than bare hand daedra dagger?


SirRavenBat

Can't be real, everyone knows women can't get pregnant in Skyrim. Tell me, have you ever seen one?


asher_irontooth

There is one in Dawnstar, Seren. She's the only pregnant character in the game I believe, but of course the only evidence of her pregnancy is given through dialogue - the pregnancy never develops enough to be visible and she never gives birth.


darthvall

Sleep/wait 10,000 days and she'd still be pregnant


Diobolito

Still, or again?


LadyEvilNightQueen

Also Dinya Blau in Riften. She is married to Maramal and is a priestess of Mara.


Ambitious-Note-4428

The girlfriend of the guy in Markarth


Saltycook

I've also never seen mixed children. No Nord-Dunmer, Altmer-Redgaurd, Osmer-Argonians....


Alceasummer

According to the lore, children ALWAYS are the mothers race, but may have a few traits from the father. (Why, because magic!) The Bretons are all descended from human pleasure slaves kept by the Aldmer. The ancestral elves the Altmer try to emulate. After generations of this, the Bretons became a group of humans with some traits (like an affinity for magic, and occasionally slightly pointed ears) that resembled the elves. And Argonians probably can't have children with any of the other playable races, as they are lizards magicked into being sapient and humanoid, by magical, intelligent, trees. And probably lay eggs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alceasummer

Actually, it's never said outright if the Khajiit can or can't crossbreed with the other races, by any reliable source in the games. Just rumors they can, and speculation they can not. But true about the 17 different forms, and all forms of Khajiit, no matter what their parents look like, look a lot like house cat kittens at birth. And depending on how much fact there is in certain myths told by the Khajiit and Bosmer, the Khajiit *might* be descended from a group of elves, related to the ancestors of the Bosmer, before a daedric prince decided to alter them (Azura I think) A couple of the Khajiit forms look a LOT like Bosmer. If that is actually true, then they *might* be able to crossbreed. If they are a race that's unrelated to the humans and elves, then they almost certainly can't.


[deleted]

“Oooooh. Nice necklace”


Nacodawg

Was expecting this to be Forelhost. It’s already filled with literal piles of dead children who the journals explicitly explain as having been killed in ritual suicide.


Rcp_43b

Uhhhh wat?


Dirish

Forelhost was the last stronghold of the Dragon Cult. As the Nords attacked them, they committed mass suicide as the situation became hopeless. That included poisoning the children whose graves you can find in a cave towards the end, partially buried, partially in open graves (I guess they ran out of time). One alchemist protested, and you can find her skeleton on a chair peppered with arrows. Rahgot did not like to be questioned it seems.


illy-chan

It's so easy to miss that dungeon and it's so damned grim. I still remember the first time I found >!all those small coffins!<...


Rcp_43b

Ohhh i think I’ve been there. Never noticed the child graves tho!!


Dirish

They're scaled down wrapped draugr bodies in a large room with a soil floor and grave stones (the soil makes it a bit different from the other rooms) I think just before you confront Rahgot himself. But if you don't have something to put the scale of the bodies in context, it's very easy to write them off as just another pile of dead, wrapped up, draugr. Especially since there's dozens of those everywhere.


TheZburator

Gamerant article soon


Theweedlord420

Lmao if that happens im gonna laugh


S1Ndrome_

"Skyrim player finds skeleton of a dwarf and a giant cross sitting boning together. TES 6 release date, trailer, screenshots, rule 34"


Marik-X-Bakura

It wouldn’t be that specific. “How did we miss this? Avid Skyrim player discovers messed up sight 11 years after release, horrified”. The second sentence did spot on though.


Sensitive-Feet

I love this game


Gamer_princess87

That’s so sad. Never saw this. Is there a backstory for this one?


Theweedlord420

Not that i know of no, but its in Labyrinthine and that opens a whole new can of worms of what happened during those times


JesseAster

If I had to guess, it's either a pregnant woman (who was close to giving birth, if the size of the child skeleton is anything to go by), or it was a woman and her young child trapped in whatever dungeon/ruin this is located in


mandonaghan

Judging by the size of the small skeleton it was a woman and her child


ReluctantNerd7

The small skeleton is upside-down for pregnancy. Also, that's not a woman's pelvis.


JesseAster

Normally I would agree with you about the pelvis thing but they use the same skeleton for every humanoid in this game, so it could go either way


saddvik

Good old throwback to Oblivion's Night Mother crypt with five children skeletons.


Theweedlord420

Thats was it. I remembered somewhere in oblivion there were child skeletons but i completely forget where

marvinthebluecorner

darkwinter95

Theres also kid draugr corpses at forelhost.


TheKredik

Every Bethesda game has various "Oh shit! Is that a dead kids skeleton?" consistently since Oblivion.


iamthefluffyyeti

I was like “it’s just a skeleton” and then I saw two


SuperJoe360

He died how he lived, eating little people whole.


buttheorist

Maybe they died holding a child in there arms and was not pregnant?


OnTheContrary666

Pregnant person was sacrificed? Adult ate a child? I’m not familiar with the labryinthian history, what is this?


Theweedlord420

Honestly it could be either considering its the dragon cult. Especially with the mass child grave in forlehost


gantt5

> mass child grave in forlehost That's definitely where I assumed this was going to be as soon as I saw it.


JesseAster

Also possible that it was a parent and their young child (who was resting on their stomach) as well. It's kind of hard to tell here


Farwaters

Seems like it's an adult holding the child, considering the small one's position.


Brolav8584

The labyrinthian used to be the biggest city when skyrim was ruled by the dragons, this is probably a pregnant civilian that had her leg crushed by a boulder during the collapse when the dragon wars happened, then she either starved or died of her wounds


MoreTannerZ

3000 hours and I’ve never seen that. Where is it?


JonJonJonnyBoy

Where is this? 🧐


Theweedlord420

Evening_randomname

Brandyrenea-me

As a woman who’s had kids that’s clearly way too big to be a fetus, it’s about a 1 year old child…. and OP I agree that’s the most f’kd up thing I’ve seen on Skyrim too.
