Skyrim Dev Tried To Make The Infamous 7,000 Steps Accurate

Nearly 15 years ago, an incredibly dedicated Skyrim fan decided to walk the 7,000 steps from Ivarstead to High Hrothgar and actually count them all. There were only around 748. It's become a bit of a joke with fans, but Bethesda did try to be accurate with the Throat of the World trek —the problem was that it started to engulf the region. To celebrate the studio's 40th anniversary, several developers shared memories of their time working on some of its most iconic games, including associate art director Dan Lee, who was responsible for the infamous High Hrothgar steps.
