» Tue Nov 20, 2012 9:11 pm

i really dont remember being able to travel by boat to windhelm or solitude in the vanilla but i noticed it in dawnguard. so i was like "really?!" anyone else noticed this?

Its one of the new features, and it also goes to volkhair castle.

really?! i havent gotten very far on my rp character so i havent gotten to the castle part yet but on other chars i have, in fact most of my chars have finished the storyline XD...

i predict this will also be integrated into the next dlc...

There are other boats to travel on? Other than the one to Volkihar castle? :blink:

I have two characters and have played Dawnguard non stop and I never noticed this. Three questions

1.) Does it cost more than a carriage

2.) Does it also go to Dawnstar which is a port town

3.) are the boats like the one at ice water jetty or bigger.

they only one ive noticed so far was one in dawnstar that goes to windhelm and solitude for 50 gold, but i took one to solitude and you can go to windhelm or dawnstar for the same price...so there is 3 to my knowledge that can take you to any of those in addition to volkihar castle. the boats themselves are really small so no they are not bigger...

OMFG i played both sides and didn't came across this once.... i just fast traveled to Solitude and there's a guy called Jolf who's a boat carrier, just like Morrowind! :twirl:

Awesome!

i really hope they use this boat thing more in the next dlc's... especially if we are to travel to another province... either that or the waygate travel in the game jam video... :tes:

Owning a private boat just to sail to each of the forts or landmarks that dot the coast of skyrims would be cool.

an even better idea would be to use a boat to get to a secret mansion of your own... :ninja:

Or the boat could be your mansion...

Like Daggerfall!

:twirl:

Like Daggerfall!

:twirl:

i never played daggerfall but i really want to... :lmao:

anyone have any idea how to make it work on the current pc...i have no idea how to use a dos.... :swear:

but no boat travel in Riften :lmao:

Thats because the Lake Honrich near riften can only be enterted through a river which goes through lake Geir and then down some severe rapids....too severe for a boat to travel up so you wont see boat fast travel to riften.

Flamingsora, I believe it is downloadable for free from the http://www.elderscrolls.com/daggerfall/.
On modern machines it requires dosbox to play and the last time I downloaded it, it came with install instructions.

Is there boat travel to winterhold?

You can also just download this. http://theelderscrolls.wiwiland.net/?title=Daggerfall_:_DaggerfallSetup_EN

It autmatically configures DOS or whatever to make it run on current systems. I downloaded that around a year ago and it works perfectly on Windows Vista, no setup from me required. I still have it now, I just don't play it much. BTW there are psychic guards in Daggerfall.

Shouldn't Mortal have access to the sea as well? Or am I just being stupid, and the river is blocked at a certain point or something...

Where is this boat you all speak of.

» Tue Nov 20, 2012 10:59 pm

If you go to Solitude, Windhelm, Dawnstar, or Casle Volkihar there will be a dock off to the side with someone hanging their feet over the edge next to a small boat.

I loved the little things from daggerfall such as owning a horse and cart and owning your own boat, would be nice to have this is Skyrim or future tes games

» Tue Nov 20, 2012 10:47 pm

I can't believe I've missed this feature. Seems like everywhere I look I have missed more features put in place by dawnguard...makes me kind of sad that I'm that blind

» Tue Nov 20, 2012 1:13 pm

I noticed this during the Beta and made a topic about it. I hadn't noticed it in the vanilla game and was in question about it being added content. It wasn't until I was playing after the release, that I realized you could actually take one to Castle V.

Good catch on the boat service
