Different holds

[Dark Assassin]

Well when I go to some of the carriage rides, they only take me to the 5 major holds. Is it because of the whether or something? I waited two whole days and it still wont allow me to travel to any of the smaller holds like Morthal or Winterhold. Anyone know why?

There is no option when you ask for a ride? That's just weird. They should travel to any hold capital, period. Sure Morthal and Falkreath and Dawnstar cost more, but that's just because they don't have a stable.

Are those capitals not even on your list of destinations?

Do you have any quests relating to the smaller holds?

Is that a requirement? I usually use the carriage to travel to the smaller holds for the first time, so I guess I've never noticed.

Nope, that sounds weird. The universal fix for all weirdness is to save, then reload the save. See if that works. And if your character is new, just hang where you are and get your feet wet before you go all over the map. If you make $~10k you can build your own house and hire your own carriage driver, who can take you boatloads of places.

Well, boatloads of places as long as you don't actually need a boat. I recently discovered that almost every port has some guy with a rowboat that will take you anywhere on the coast (to any port). While that's cool and all, I wonder if a rowboat is really what you should be using to travel the coast of the Sea of Ghosts.

There isn't even an option. The only options are Markarth, Riften, Solitude, Windhelm, and whiterun (Or however you spell it). The other ones like Winterhold, Morthal aren't an option.

That is truly weird. I have never seen that before.

You do have more than 50 gold... right? Large holds cost 20... Small holds cost 50 and may not appear on the list if you are broke. Only thing I can think of.

 

[Dark Assassin]

I have over 2000 gold. Still wont show.

 

[LotusEater]

kooky...

Have you tried the Save/Kill/Reload trick on any of them? Dunno if you can even kill those guys or not to be honest...

I just checked the wiki and, apparently they can indeed be killed and you can take their stuff (with the exception of the one that takes you to the Thalmor Embassy). That makes sense. I had that guy in Whiterun die one time during a dragon attack and his horse and cart sat their forlorneley for the rest of the game.

 

[Dark Assassin]

Hehhehehehehehe -guilty face- Wellll I kind of got upset with the one at Whiterun and killed him because he wouldn't take me to any of the 50 golds places lol. Imagine if we were all like that in real life
