Whiterun destruction avoidable?


Tarm

Recommended Posts

I did notice one thing, one of the houses near the big tree becomes inaccessible after the siege because of debris. I don't recall what was there before, but it does bother.

 

 

That house belongs to the preacher guy who shouts about talos all day. i'm not sure if he ever sleeps before the attack, but i'm pretty sure he doesn't now. i see him ranting and raving all night.

 

I'd class this as a bug and hope for a repairing of it in a mod or something

I sided with the Stormcloaks. After the battle of Whiterun, the city was exactly the same except the guards were then Stormcloak instead of Imperial. All the stores are still there and still run the same way by the same people. Your house is still there if you bought a house there.

 

But what if you captured the city with the stormcloaks BEFORE buying the house there?

 

That happened to me, and when i tried to buy that freakin' house, i realizet, that the old jarl and proventus avenicci are gone :(

is there any way to buy the house?

 

p.s.: i tried to reload, but whiterun turns into a battle camp, just after you give back the axe to Ulfric, and i played a lot since that.

No you wrong the steward is the same you can go to him to buy the house. at least it works for me when i took the city i didnt had all the furniture and decorations, but even then after i took the city i bought the remaining furniture from the Stewart named Brill, he just changes place usualy he can be found in the "war room" the room behind the throne room is easy to find.

The mage also remains in the court.

 

EDIT: actualy it isnt the same Stewart this one is named Brill, but you should be able to buy the house and furniture from him it worked for me. Hes in the war room mostly.

Thanks for the massive spoiler right in the title. Sure this is the spoiler forum, but you didn't have to make it in the title.

if you know this is a spoiler forum then you should have known that there is spoilers in it and all the op title says is whiterun destruction avoidable not really a spoiler until u open the thread

 

 

So why even open the thread so many possibilities on how whiterun could be destroyed

 

So why even post about it being a spoiler ?

Just because someone's in a spoilers forum doesn't mean they want EVERYTHING spoiled. Sometimes a person only wants to know about one or two things. Surely there is some way to keep spoilers out of the title, so people can skim the titles and find the thread they're looking for without EVERYTHING being ruined for them...

Thank you for the answer. Then it doesn't sound that bad.

 

I have a couple more questions if that's alright.

What happens to the people in the city? Do some die, lose their homes, jobs etc.

Nope, they all hide in their homes and stay out of the battle.

Is the Jarl still in power or is there a new one?

Jarl Barlgruff remains as Jarl no matter which path you take.

So no more Whiterun guards? Only imperial soldiers?

Whiterun guards stay if you chose the legion, but if you chose stormcloaks then they take over the city.

If I have a house there what happens to it and the stuff I have stored there?

Nothing.

Am I still a Thane in the city?

Yes.

 

That'll do for now. I'll probably come up with a lot more questions later. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/wink.gif

 

I'd play and check myself but I've heard it's a long quest line and having to revert to a save before I begin it is just to much lost work I've invested in my character.

 

Hold on a second, some of your answers are completely wrong. Jarl Balgruuf is replaced by Vignar Gray-Mane if you choose Stormcloaks and he stays if you choose Imperial Legion. If you side with Stormcloaks you are not a Thane anymore but you have to do one of those lame Thane quests to get it back. Imperials are still Thane. EDIT: Also, Severio Pelagia dies in the battle.

As for being a Thane, you actually have to trigger the quest again by talking to the Jarl, then it auto-completes and you talk to the Jarl a second time, so essentially if you did it once that's it. Though you still have to ask the new Jarl.

I think you are talking about Heimskr's house, yeah, that one doesn't get fixed ever. He just lives next to the Talos statue in a bedroll. It did bother me a little too until I found by accident in a playthrough that it was Heimskr's

There are several mods available on the Nexus to "repair" Whiterun after the battle (some even fix Heimskr's house.) However, be careful. Some of them don't play well with other mods. Read them all thoroughly to see which one might work well with your set of mods.

Yikes! Glad nobody mentioned how Whiterun turns into Tokyo and a Dragon turns into Godzilla and... well, you will just have to experience this for yourself.

 

The Civil War Repairs 1.2 mod works wonders: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/18526/?
