Skyrim Earthquakes? RESOLVED
When I am over in the Markarth Hold/Area - I've started having earthquakes?

No, it is not dragons, I've looked carefully as that was my first thought.

These are EARTHQUAKES .. and they are random ... but it's like 3 or 4 in a row ... then they stop for a Skyrim While and then start up again.

Now I am thinking the only major DLC has been Dawngaurd, which I've not fully started to play yet, as I have a couple of other goals to accomplish first.

So are they due to Dawngaurd and I just need to get Dovahkiin's butt in gear .. or ? Is the world of Skyrim doomed? Is Alduin coming back????

I looked for all the obvious clues:

-> Dragons
-> Giants
-> Mammoths

Was more aware the 2nd and 3rd time around.

Plus this area is not common for, Giants or Mammoths - but I did not rule it out.

Nope - no visual clues as to the cause. At least visual in the FOV of where Dovahkiin was standing. It was pretty opened FOV, (Field Of View), too.

Just rathe curious - thus asking if anyone knows if this started because of Dawnguard and is part of the story plot?

I thought about that - but I don't like sweetrolls - Skyrim has yet to come up with a coffee drink that Dovahkiin would need w/a sweetroll.

With as little as Dovakiin eats - drink and as much as he walks around without Fast Travel - no, weight is not Dovakiin's issue.

Now in REAL LIFE - I have my coffee, my sweetrolls and having had total replacement knee, recently ... well I'm glad I'm prone to, still at 59 - eat what I will and not gain weight and still have my Low BP and well I will not die from anything "High" in my blood. Heck I can even eat as much salt as I want - Doctor's order because of my low BP. :D
You are near Arkngthamz. There is a quest Lost to the Ages there, you have to read "The Aetherium Wars" to start it.

Yes I was, so it does have to do with Dawnguard, then. THANKS! :)

That was the only logical answer, in that DG was the last DLC/Mod and I've walked here before DG a 'few' times.

Thanks again - Time to kick my Dovahkiin's butt into gear here.

Not sure how this fits in this thread - but ...

First off do you have any mods turned on? If so .. first uncheck all mods and see if games works.

IF you have NO mods installed, then you will likely need to re-install SKYRIM and/or STEAM as well.

IF you do have mods and turned them off - turn on 1 mod at a time -- load game ... and run/play for as long as it took before Skyrim kicked you out. Then the next mod until the game kicks you out. (That obviously is the MOD creating the issue.)

Good Hunting Dragonborn - good hunting!

I've expierienced these trembles playing Skyrim without any DLC or mods about every now and then - not sure if it´s a bug or a feature but it doesn´t seem to be life-threatening nor connected to anything...

That would be pretty cool if the devs had implemented earthquakes into the game. Now they just need a few tornadoes and cyclones...

Okay - thanks .. So much for Dawnguard.

To; Sparhawk - Well it would seem if you are in certain areas of Markarth - you can experience the earthquakes. (Or so it would seem.)
