But for all city’s I’ve been in none have made me so frustrated that Markarth have done.

I decided that I didn’t want to do the mane story line and instead I wanted to experience the world. So I locket up what the biggest city in Skyrim was and headed there. On the way I stumbled upon a group of what I only can describe as hipsters that had taken a big castle on a cliff. I rushed in with my sword and shield to fight them and see if they had some good loot. They were a bit harder to kill then normal bandits but I managed it. But then my horse start running right towards them and died. I became sad because it was my first house I had bought in Whiterun. But took the castle and walked the last way because I knew I could buy a new one there.

So I get to Markarth and buy a new horse and head inside. First thing I see is a man stabbing a woman to death wile screaming something about some forsworn. (The same hipster f*cks that killed my horse). The guards run over and tell me to “back off”. (Because my character is a noble night that only do noble things I do so.) A man stops me and ask me to meet me at the shrine of Talos. On the way there is another man stops me and ask me to help him go in to a abounded house. I agree cus why not.

We go in and some kind of blood god tell us to kill each other. I kill him easily and the god tells me to go down to the basement. There I get locked in a cage and ordered to get some priest that have been kidnapped by the forsworn. I decide that it is a waste of my time so instead hade to the shrine of Talos to meet with that man from earlier. He tells me that his name is Eltrys and he wants to know why the Forsworn kill people. So as the good night I am I accept his quest. So I start snooping around the city. I get to know that the woman was named Margret and the killer was named Waylin.

Margret was living at the Silver-Blood Inn. So I go to the inn and ask nicely to investigate the room she stayed in. They refuse so I threatened them instead. The finely comply and give me the key. I go in to the room and find her journal. It mentions Thonar Silver-Blood. The leader of the bank or whatever. So I go and talk to him. I have to threaten his receptionist to go in to his office. I go in and surprise surprise. The forsworn attack the bank. I don’t really pay attention but I think they killed Thonar’s wife. He get pisst and tell me he is behind the forsworn and that he has their king locket up in his prison. I walk out the prison to find evidence about Weylin.

Weylin is living in building called The Warrens. It is a filthy hell hole with insane people. At the door a man named Garvey gave me the key to Weylin’s room. I find a letter signed N that tell him to kill Margret. When I come out of The Warrens I get confronted by a man that wants to beat me up. I beat up him instead. He tells me that N stands for Nepos and that it was him that ordered him to fight me. So I go to his house to talk to Nepos. He is an old man with a lot o bodyguards. He start telling me about the forsworn and why they are killing people. I ask why he tells me this. Apparently he only tell me this because it “is a game” that the forsworn are “playing” in Markarth and that he will kill me. He becomes hostile and attack me together with his “friends”. I kill them all and decide to go to the Jarl and se if he has some unique dialogue options regarding the quest.

The first thing I see when I come in is someone being refused to go in to the cemetery and then a guard tells me I lock suspicion and I should stay away from him. I go in to see the jarl. But he is not on his throne. He is siting in the kitchen stuffing his face like a pig. I try to tell him about the forsworn but he doesn’t believe me. Then I tell him that dragons are back. He say that it is not a problem cus Markarth is made out of rock so it can’t burn down. I’m so tired of this city at this point I just leave him and go to the shrine of Talos. When I get there the guards have killed Eltrys and are going to arrest me and that they somehow get paid for the murders. I tell them they are corrupt and get a 4000 bounty plus they kill my companion.

I decide that Markarth is the worst city and reload a save before I came to the city and ride as long away as I can.

So morale of the story. F*ck Markarth and everything about it.

3/10 would not go back.
