We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but it seems we’ve been incorrectly believing that the 7,000 Steps up to High Hrothgar in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim are actually made up of 7,000 steps.

While most of us blindly accepted that there are 7,000 Steps like the sheeple we are, some sceptics took it upon themselves to count all the steps up the treacherous mountain just to check if Todd Howard didn’t have another sweet little lie up his sleeve. Unfortunately, our worst fears have indeed been confirmed.
