It featured a screenshot of the two surrounded by ice, with them suspected of freezing to death, with the author adding: “I’m not crying, you are.”
Unknown to the player, the commenters pointed out that it was in fact suspected to be an Easter egg put in the game by Bethesda. This was due to many believing it was inspired by the famous “Embracing Skeletons” from Pompeii, who also were found surrounded by ice in a warm embrace.
It has not been confirmed by the developers if this is the case, but the stark similarities and the devs being widely known to fill their games with ingenious Easter eggs make it all but confirmed.
Aside from this, players have also come across difficult temples on their travels, which has reverted some to use cheats for the first time.
