Oblivion talk:Hackdirt

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

I completed the quest where I rescued the young Argonian girl from Hackdirt, but I came away feeling there were some unresolved mysteries about that spooky little town. Now, weeks later and many levels stronger, I went back to investigate, and I STILL get that feeling... but a feeling is all I get. Am I missing something obvious? I explored the caverns, perused that baffling book in the church, and tried charming the brains out of the few people who would talk to me, all to no avail. Maybe I simply have to wait for another Hackdirt-oriented quest to avail itself to me. Does anyone have some answers? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.209.120.47 (talk • contribs).

There's nothing more to it. The only information on the town is what's already on the page. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 02:45, 10 January 2008 (EST)

Try killing everyone,It's based off a Mystery,so If these people were taking Hostages,Would you let them live? And, it's probably a spooked feeling, like if you go in your room Pinder and the innkeeper follow you in...--Puddle 23:30, 29 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Facial Features

Why do the Hackdirtians have very odd facial features and eyes? It's actually terrifying to me.-Aldage 01:37, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Well, that's just the way they are portrayed. They have lead a harsh life, and they spend most of their time underground. I guess the devs wanted the village to feel "scary". Vesna 13:29, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

In the Lovecraft story the town is based off the people were mating with Deep Ones, which are fish people, as such almost all the occupants were hybrids and had large eyes and strange features. I'm assuming the designers had that in mind. --71.230.225.210 00:28, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

I noticed that the unnamed people in hackdirt (worshippers) in the caverns drop mort flesh. Hmmm...

[edit] New "Places" template

Is this article now in compliance with the new places template? All the maps on this page (and if you click to enlarge them, on the enlargement page) have letters that are supposed to indicate specific places, things. However, there is no key that says "A = Door to whatever" etc. The only key is the generic one that shows the dots and gates (icons) but has no letters. Why is that missing here. This page is not flagged for cleanup/update, so does the new template not have detail as to what those lettered places are anymore? Trish101 22:18, 9 April 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Getting attacked in the Inn?

Err.. sorry I'm super new at this so I dont know how to put in date or name tags. I went to sleep in the Inn in Hackdirt. I woke up an hour later to "Hackdirt Bandit" beating me to death with a club. I don't know if this happens every time you go there or if it was just some kind of crazy coincidence that happened to me. Maybe someone who's less of a noob than me could inform me and maybe include it in the article if its of relevance?

First, sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). Second, it is involved in the quest A Shadow Over Hackdirt. But the link will contain spoilers. --Elliot^(T-C) 04:56, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
