Hey guys. I noticed one thing. If you replay the plot, you can find new details for yourself. In this case, these are the dialogues from the quest when we close Mr. Kembel’s oil site. “Tell the Counselor that I have not yet said the last word and that when I win the trial, I will go back and erase all Silverglade from the Face of Jorvik! You are too young to remember, but I will just remind you: remember what I did to HillCrest … ” Let me remind you that our character is not from Jorvik and most likely has not heard of Hill Crest before. Apparently, we ask the Counselor about this, to which he answers “HillCrest is a sad story … Once upon a time it was a tranquil village in the mountains south of Moorland, which GED has turned into a large mining pit. Both the village and the mine were abandoned long ago. It was a great shame for what happened there.”
However, on the outskirts of the old HillCrest , there is a construction site, which we get to when we open Epona. However, I checked the coordinates and … Old HillCrest on the map, if you believe the approximate coordinates, is much larger than we see. The HillCrest is roughly marked in red, the construction site up to the wall, beyond which we cannot get, is marked in blue. From the quests we know that GED found an interesting dragon mineral, if I remember correctly, just in the HillCrest mine. And also that something incomprehensible is happening there, like a pink / purple fog, driving the miners crazy. As far as we know, these are the colors of Pandoria and the mineral, most likely from there. What’s even more interesting, right on the border is the Valley of the Defenders (indicated by a pink dot), and below, right in the mountain, a cauldron (indicated by yellow), in the center of which was the entrance to the ancient Roman storage of artifacts.
And now I wonder when this quest will continue. If earlier the main quest and the fight against GED were different things, then after the Dark Core made a deal with GED, it all merges into one plot. I wouldn’t be surprised if this mine has a huge portal to Pandoria. And I wonder what is behind the wall. Since you cannot enter the space between the old Hillcrest and the cauldron, this is a closed location. Maybe, of course, with the help of Bug someone came in.
And another funny note. When we discover the South Hoof Peninsula, when we first meet Night Dust, Madison says in dialogue, “ The best explorer in the world and right now I am studying the world’s rarest horse breed, the magical wild horse. You could be a horse whisperer. , * character name *! what do you think of that? ” According to the plot, we are not yet familiar with the druids, and the soul ride is still very far away. It seems to me that this is clearly the influence of the old Hermit. It is obvious that he is or has been associated with the druids. But what role did he play?
