Just a quick question, when does a cave/dungeon/fort get tagged as cleared?

The reason I ask is that when I visit a dungeon on a quest and clear in out it gets tagged as 'Cleared' on the map, but it seems that if I just enter a random fort and still clear it out when I exit it is not tagged as 'Cleared'

Could someone just confirm/deny if locations are only tagged if there was a quest reason to visit it?

I think it only applies to dungeons and forts that have a quest associated with it, even if you haven't activated the quest.

Does the giant camp near Whiterun have a quest associated with it?

You'll have to ask in the Spoilers forum.

That was a question about 'Cleared' dungeons but not the question I asked.

I did a search and found that thread, if thats what you were getting at.

For the rest of you, Thanks for the answers

Oops. My bad.

The third post in that thread (by CCNA) answers your question regarding when an area gets tagged as 'Clear.'
