frakle Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I was grossly curious about the title and couldn't help but finding out what you nutted out. I remember reading about these from somewhere in one of the games. They were in Oblivion, though-http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Ironwood_Nut It's funny, because they have disregarded their own lore in so many ways here:1. They are endemic to Skyrim, unless their was a massive relocation project between 427 and 4332. They are supposed to be as hard as iron3. The book says that they provide a huge bonus to strength, and yet the bonuses these ones provide are Restore Intelligence, Resist Fire, Damage Fatigue and Fortify Health Ah well, it is Bethesda after all :rolleyes: 1. Dude, there's like 30 in the entire game.2 Warrior smash, mage crush with magic, thief cut open with knife3. they probably weren't thinking or this was a last minute addition to the game and they couldn't be arsed to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a tree in the Creation Kit specifically called the Ironwood Tree2. I don't think you quite understand exactly how tough iron is...3. My point exactly.

AltreU Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It was mentioned previously by Todd himself that he accepts what the fans have made on the UESP as being canon to the lore (he said something to the point of us keeping track of lore better than Beth), so I guess Beth will let us make up an excuse for why such things happen. I blame the variation in benefits it can bestow on Cyrodiil's weather and mudcrabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is perfectly normal for plants I believe (im not an expert) and the book was probally written centuries ago in Tamriel time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's to say that deez nuts (lolz) don't grow in completely topical locations? Edited September 12, 2011 by AltreU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
