There’s a theory that these jars possibly pertain to an amnesiac character called Rune who hangs with the Thieves Guild, and might possibly have been part of a subsequently cut quest that explains his true identity. Attempts to decipher them have all come up with… well, basically gibberish. Trouble is, nobody knows what the runes mean. This is no accident – someone at BGS sat and designed a bespoke texture map for these five wooden lids, each of them different. However, if you look closely on the underside of the jar lids themselves, you’ll see each of them has a strange runic symbol etched onto them. The community has found five of them in total, and they’re just what your player home needs to set off the hearth area. They’re pretty things to look at, and you don’t even have to feel bad for the minibeasts since they don’t seem to require oxygen or food in there and will live indefinitely inside their glass abode. Scattered across the world map, you’ll find a number of insects trapped inside jars. Let’s treasure these unsolved mysteries, and let them inflame our imaginations until a new game arrives with a fresh set of head-scratchers. The last thing we want is an RPG version of Prometheus barrelling through our beloved lore, replacing the enticing with the mindlessly prosaic. So consider the enduring legend of these six mysteries an argument as to why The Elder Scrolls 6 should seek not to provide answers to these questions, but to ask new ones.
Players aren’t just reaching for meaning – often, the designers and writers really thought about these details, and lay out mysteries for us to eventually solve and uncover.īut many haven’t. What’s especially impressive, on the part of virtual detective and developer alike, is that many of them do have solutions and conclusions, like the ‘treasure foxes’ whose AI pathfinding routines take you towards high-volume treasure areas through a programming quirk. Skyrim’s so good at this style of environmental storytelling that a portion of its player base has been cataloging and uncovering its mysterious scenes, unexplained phenomena, and tiny details that hint at wider conspiracies since its release.
