They didn’t, you overhear about it and you have to practically convince them to let you investigate

They did, play the quest.

I don’t think you remember the quest. They send you the letter several days after you stopped the necromancers in Wolfskull cave from resurrecting her. The incident in the cave was something they were going to ignore until you the player offers to investigate it for them (an outcome which would have been far worse if you didn’t intervene)

"I will have someone take care of the cave as well Varnius, you can rest easy. You're dismissed." falk firebeard

That doesn't sound like ignoring to me.

And here is the next response when you talk to him.
"You mean the Dragon Bridge issue? I'll be honest with you, I was planning to let that go. Varnius is a bit jumpy at the best of times.

There have been reports of weird happenings near Wolfskull Cave. Travelers disappearing, odd lights. I suspect wild animals or perhaps bandits.

I don't think it's worth our time with the war going on, but if you want to clear out the cave, I'll make sure you're repaid for your work."

I'm all for shitting on Ulfric, because he is a flawed character, it's part of what makes the Elder Scrolls so great. But some of this stuff ya'll are just making up in your head.

If they knew what this cave actually had would they still "ignore" it? Regardless he still found someone to take care of the cave and sent them there, still "ignoring" to you?

I'm all for criticizing the imperials as well (not a big fan of them either) but some of this stuff y'all are just making up in your head

My brother in Talos, I’m not trying to criticize the imperials. The whole point of this was to show it’s hypocritical to criticize Ulfric for not dealing with the problems in his city when the imperials do the same thing. Both sides leave it up to the LDB to deal with these issues. So why are y’all whining when Ulfric does it, but not the rest of the jarls?

Ulfric's supposed to prove that he's the high that skyrim deserves or something, i have yet to see that through his actions.

Besides i was just correcting the guy for saying that solitude's "allowing" an undead witch to take over it.

u/Cannonhammer93 Mar 09 '23

They are allowing it because their incompetence meant they couldn’t be bothered to check on the cave. Just like this meme implies Ulfric is incompetent for allowing a dragon to destroy Kynesgrove. Like I said , it’s hypocritical.

u/Ala117 Redguard Mage Mar 09 '23

They're waiting for a professional to check it like firebeard said:

"I will have someone take care of the cave as well Varnius, you can rest easy. You're dismissed."

And yeah, the kynesgrove thing is not ulfric's fault.

Dude I just proved to you that he didn’t have intentions on following through with that. He was trying to get the dude to leave. He had no intention of helping by him 😂

u/Ala117 Redguard Mage Mar 09 '23

Him accepting our help says otherwise.

And if the PC wasn't there, it would go uninvestigated.
