Any conspiracy theories?

  • December 30, 2011 5:05 AM EST

    Not long ago I read something about an insectoid conspiracy in Skyrim.
    Has anyone alse found such a conspiracy in the game?
    Weird behavior of NPC's, strang markings, or a building in a seemingly random place?
    Skyrim fans are smart and I bet that you can come up with at least one or two strange things, and then come here to read others and put one and one together.

    Conspiracy time!

    Insects.  I have collected two insects in jars.  There are strange writings (different on each) on the inside of the lids (you can see this through the glass when rotated at the correct angle.  Not sure what (if anything) it means, but I keep the jars on a table in my house for future investigation.

    The strange marks you seen on building are probably the thief signs.   They're various signs for warning, treasure here, guild member nearby, and so forth (a book, 'Shadowmarks', in the thieves guild cistern explains these in better detail).
