Original Question Are these doors unlockable in the starting area? Needs a key

Post image

Its located in the starting area right before u exit to sewers. My boyfriend (featured) parkoured all the way up here and we found 2 doors, one each spot but they are locked.

We are curious souls and really wanna know whats in those rooms. I tried to google but with no success.

Thank you!

needs a key means "for plot reasons, this door cannot be lockpicked because the key is somewhere else and we need you to do that stuff." they're immune to lockpicking and alteration and can only be opened with their specific designated key.

Activate Windows

I think those get opened as part of another quest of the sneaky sort later on

I heard some news from other provinces. It was about something called Massgrave. Not sure what it is, but I heard it might be worth looking into

Those doors are just how they spawn the mythic dawn cultists for the scripted NPC timings so that they dont all just jump an unarmed player character and kill them immediatly. Its a developer shortcut that most players wont really notice but wasnt worth hiding.

No they are never meant to be openable.

So much wrong with this photo…
No they aren’t openable until later game through the Dark Brotherhood quest line

The doors the Emperor and the Blades take are possible alternate routes for a later questline.

The doors the Mythic Dawn come out of lead to dev rooms that are very bare bones and have house stationary Mythic Dawn cultists. Pretty interesting to see if you want. They are peaceful and very interesting to look at.

Those become accessable later when doing a job for the dark brotherhood

It's an alternate path you unlock with a quest later in the game.

Some of those doors never open, except through the use of console commands. They can be fun to check out if you want to see things you aren't supposed to see!

Just don't cry when something breaks later 😅 (probably fine in this case)
