Offerings in front of the Whiterun Shrine of Talos?

[Crispy Hexagons]

So I am having an argument with my boyfriend. I swear that I have taken flowers, ingots, and some gold from in front of the whiterun shrine of talos. However, my boyfriend is sure that there have never been offerings before. I cannot find any pictures or posts online about it and I even restarted a game to see if there were offerings there and there weren't any. I am so confused because I am 99% sure that I have seen them before. Do anay of you guys know of any mods that would add offerings or have you experienced this? Thanks in advance!

The one in Whiterun City?

No there aren't any offerings by default.

There are however offerings in other shrines throughout the wilderness.

mine has flowers but Ive never seen anything else.

There is a shrine of talos a bit north of whiterun with offerings. Just did that quest was some flowers, soul gems, elven greatsword.

Do you have a mod that changes Whiterun? Because that could be adding stuff to the shrine.
The best way to check would be to start a new character, start in the bannered mare and look. It'll take like a minute.

Same here, I never take anything from any shrine, and often leave something.

That's because Heimskr pockets them and sells them for food, especially after his house gets blocked off (civil war)

Could it be a mod you have installed that added those offerings?
I don't see offerings on the Talos shrine inside Whiterun city in my game.
Usually when I see offerings on a shrine I drop some gold instead of taking anything, just for the role play.

It happened for me too and I have no idea what I did for that to happen. But it wasn't the Shrine alone. There was also some Armor lying at the graves infont of the Hall of Dead or overall more Herbs in town. I thought the Unofficial Skyrim Patches were doing that and reinstalled them multiple times but it never happened again.

Patch does not add content like that. Team policy prevents them from doing that, unless they are fixing some sort of design flaw from Bethesda's thinking.

For example, patch distributed more TG armor pieces to hideout, because at least one part of armor is needed in the quest line. Many players ended up selling that armor, prior of the event where TG armor piece is needed. That sort of addons they can do, but actually adding to world is not what they do.

I also have the unofficial skyrim patch.

hmmm... I've noticed some unusual things relating to that specific patch. Such as dayglow green banners around Markarth (Skyrim LE). (a mod makers silly signature).
It could be likely that patch may have added some little bits and pieces around shrines.

But that does not happen in the Vanilla version.

Windhelm Talos shrine has trinkets and offerings around it all the time. I wouldn't mind having a copy of that Talos statue to place out front in place of a gargoyle statue. Imagine folks driving by your house going "honey was that a statue of Talos?"

You know, Whiterun seems would be one of the last places to leave offerings to Talos and that monk is stretching his own neck out by doing so.
That town has both Stormcloak and Imperial families there.
If you talk to an old woman in the market, you'll find out what I mean (if you haven't already done that quest).
This is the most disturbing thing I've seen In Whiterun.
