Skyrim Player Stumbles Upon Weird Area Full of Dead NPCs

Not every Skyrim location is designed to be seen by players, as one fan stumbles on a room full of NPC corpses. While these dead bodies sound like the setup to a creepy Skyrim secret, the truth is actually a rather interesting insight into how the fifth Elder Scrolls installment handles its NPCs. Ever since Morrowind, Bethesda established its modern take on essential NPCs – story characters whose death severs the thread of prophecy. However, unlike Morrowind, subsequent Elder Scrolls titles took away the possibility for players to kill these NPCs, and thus persist in a doomed future of their own making.
