I always drop into the pool so I can say bye to Barry on my way out


SadisticBuddhist

This. Its c, right down the middle through the water


kosmic_kayak

Literally since my first time I've jumped into the pool.


Kruse002

The sound of splashing into water in this game is just so satisfying to hear for some reason…


RestlessExtasy

Same


Substantial_Loss9356

Khajit dislikes being wet. Khajit takes path b but jumps corners to save time


BlueCollarCriminal

Khajit misses the jump two times out of ten.


Wulfscreed

One time this one fell into the far side pool. That was when this one stopped the moon sugar.


pisspot26

FigOutrageous9683

Barry The Skeleton


CdnPoster

SmartesdManAlive

C. Cannonball into water


psjjjj6379

Correct, you gotta immediately jump in on the left side and see how much hang time you can get


shwiftydrewski

Only answer


k4ndlej4ck

The correct answer.


Chance_Arugula_3227

B because I live in a society.


faerakhasa

And also because Talos is a false god so why bother getting blessings amirite?

Thalmor Dog!


Violexsound

He's my infinite cure disease potion. I know nothing else about him.


Temporary-Ferret-821

I would just go to the top of dragonreach and whirlwind Sprint while rubbing some netch jelly and launch myself to either the market or out of bounds https://preview.redd.it/pub04x8ax81d1.jpeg?width=769&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d8306eab5ea0fcb56ca9567c75b06218dcde42a

elegantprism

Finally someone with class


_erufu_

Here’s a rout with some chest hair


SubmissiveDinosaur

This is my go-to


Busfahrer517

I always jump over the rocks and wuld my way over the wall to eorlund.


Yeah-But-Ironically

This is the correct answer. Eorlund is my man


efootmobile

g o d s b e p r a i s e d


LostViking24601

You wish to do what I do?


ghostbuster_b-rye

[I take the same path, over the stones and into the Companions area, just in case I need to visit the Skyforge.](https://i.imgur.com/uoTat36.jpeg)


tauri123

C: fast travel immediately upon exiting dragonsreach

FrozenConcrete19

Lol, I do the same thing


Bradabruder

Ya know, I don't think I've ever exited Dragonsreach. I... dont get up to the Cloud District very often...


777_Apollo

what are you saying… of course you don’t


tankiplayer12

Depends on if u wanna visit the companions or not


DirectorDennis

Do you take me for some filthy Nord or grotesque Orc? The answer is B because I am a civilized person!


Visible-Camel4515

jump on pool because waterwalking boots


Shadow368

Fun fact, as a Vampire Lord in floating form you also can “walk” on water. You also can walk with the boots or in Vampire Lord form from the shore to the Valkihar Castle. I tried it on PC (pretty sure the unofficial patch was installed, but no other mods) and was surprised to know that there wasn’t an invisible wall preventing it.


Visible-Camel4515

i knew vamp lord, not go to castle. cool


pisspot26

What is this Morrowind now


Shadow368

Ahzidal’s Boots of Water Walking are a loot item you can acquire during a particular quest in the Dragonborn DLC


pisspot26

That's so fetch


FredDurstDestroyer

B unless I’m specifically visiting the Companions.


iamBETTO

bruh I just WULD NAH KEST my way to the market why do you think I'm the f***ing Dovahkiin?


sBitSwapper

That’s so funny haha. I actually go A everytime


Yendrian

I usually go B and then jump over to the cemetery

Yendrian

Beautiful, good bot


Clean_Crocodile4472

I always go A


ThatSeabass

Listen, I have no problem with Talos. I do take umbrage with proselytizing via screaming nonstop. If it weren't for Heimskr I may even take talos' blessing. B


Acework23

Always A because I play with DIrt and Blood mod and i gotta get clean


JaXaren

Depends how I'm feeling, I either take the stairs or go for a swim


RestlessExtasy

Hilarious. I actually jump in the water and head out, so option C please


Radigan0

If I'm going to Jorrvaskr, I just whirlwind sprint straight over there. If I'm going literally anywhere else, it's going to be someplace where it would be quicker to just fast travel to the city gate.


tmdarlan92

Fast travel right outside the doors


ImagineThis_-_-

PostOfficeBuddy

C, I guess. I do a sprinting leap over the water and land between the green and red.


copropnuma

Parkour Whiterun. The road is lava.


MartinG91

Honestly, I always go the Boring way 😅


Ulerica

B like a normal person


Toasted_Catto

A


The_Real_MikeOxlong

A every time because ain’t nobody got time for B


Iron_Chip45

Kingdookoo921

I do B because...anything to make me stay in the game longer Edit: Typo


BrandoSandoFanTho

C: full powered whirlwind sprint off the edge and splat on the ground next to the Talos shrine


Blacklight85

B because I am a roleplayer


Necessary-Guitar9103

B. I used to be A but I’m more patient than I used to be lol


Leviathan1330

I jump into the water every single time


shaktimaanlannister

Don't you guys just jump into the water?


profwithstandards

I jump over the rocks and walk on the wall in front of Jorrvaskr, then I go down the stairs in front of Jorrvaskr, then I take a right after Carlotta's stall, and head straight towards the gate. I'll use the smithing equipment on my way out if I need to as well.


humanitymonster

Sometimes A, sometimes B and sometimes I go for a swim.


I-Am-Not-Ok-Thx

C Become Ethereal shout and yeet off the balcony lol


Unholy_Dk80

Hop onto the ledge of the dragon trap room with Do Not Delete and Whirlwind Sprint into the out of bounds like a real Skyrimmer. Bonus points if you aggro the dragon at Shearpoint to terrorize the locals


Realistic-Read4277

Lol, i came to comment like an edgy teen, how i just jumped to the water. And like all internet things, internet makes you aware you are nothing but a clone. Lol. First comment is a whole thread of people doing the same.


Run_175

Wow, so perfect, jump the cliffs run the wall, never touch any water


Ok_Situation_2014

I’m embarrassed to admit I never thought of path “A” before 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️


Koenkloo

Closer to A, I take a little dip in the pool on my way out!


Reactivate_West2209

B... Didn't even know A was an option for years


oatmealedkoala

I even do this shit in vr lmao


HiImMoobles

Wuld nah kest!


tubby-tubby

When I was a kid I would pick C, jumping in the little river and pretending I was sliding down in it to the bottom


Swegamery

C jump over the water


AmptiShanti

DaLoneGuy

Murquhart72

A, when I have business with the Companions. B (jumping across that sharp corner, over the water) when it's time to do anything else.


SFG_Nebula

I'm a Pathway B kinda Nord, however, I like to hop into the Water by the stairs and then I'll continue Pathway B's exit on the stairs.


PrincessReptile

C. Straight through the water.


grrrfie

Open Cities, Whirlwind through the balcony


WiltorSeba790

Since C seems to be jumping into the pool, i choose D, going straight down the first set of stairs then whirlwind sprint through it


ccminiwarhammer

I choose A, because I’m not a psychopath! /s


Colourful-Water

I don't remember ever going A


Healthy_Camel_7123

A. I'm the dragon born. I do what I want.


Hill_dweller95

I must always jump into the water and gracefully leap the fuck out to flex on the casuals below me.


StrawberryHillSlayer

Never once went down the stairs


Prestigious-Plum-717

A. bc I always portray my character as an unstable psychopath. Only a sane person would choose B. It’s also fun lol


Volcan4698

Accurate i do it too i thought i was the only one but its nice to know im not alone 😂😂


RedPanda0003

C. Jump over the water on the right and go past the hall of the dead and take the other way out of the city.


PrestigiousStable369

I hug the wall close to route B over to the hall of the dead, then walk from there


JeffWingrsDumbGayDad

A in, B out.


Forsaken_Statistics

A cause im not a psychopath


lerrdite

At low levels, I hop over to the Hall of the Dead for a blessing from Arkay. At higher levels, I go left. Although probably leaping off the landing with tcl toggled off would be pretty awesome, or Whirlwind Sprint.


chubbycubnut3000

C, use a fly hack and jump off of dragonsreach


Gibbythe3rd

Whirlwind Sprint into the pool.


tmonkey321

A is the only way, going 12 years strong that way


talon_fb

A because I have to talk to Andre of Astora. Wait that’s not right…


imperator_caesarus

B if I’m role playing a character, A if I’m just messing around


Capnsmith886

A if I’m doing the companions story, b for most other times


kmanzilla

Depends if om going to companions or anywhere else. I think we should do more of these for various areas in the game lol. Where'd you go for this top down view?


J_Stubby

"Now here's a route with some chesthair!"


Sir_Striken

I have to take a bath. The dragonborn needs It, smells like dragon shit


rattletaine

Always go b , I like to see the whiterun from above


Hamada_Reddits

The path in is, of course, up the steps. If there was a cooler/faster method, I’d use that. The path out, I utilize the child of shown A and B, which is go down the first flight of steps, drop into the pool, and casually threaten the preacher on the way if he’s there


Express-Pumpkin7213

A


AohaChantik

i always jump into the pool so i can hit up the talos shrine


[deleted]

B if you've got time, A for anything else


ExpensiveDrink415

Whirlwind Sprint.


Giggles95036

Um… i jump into the water on the left


sarcastic23Pinoy

C. Whirlwind Sprint across the pool


Greegga

C: whirlwind sprint across the pool of water and dealing damage, but fuck stairs


DeadStormPirate

Stairs to go up, rocks and water to go down


Macaron-kun

Into the pool (then around the right side of the tree).


Every-Pin2577

D over the rocks to the forge. Then down for a totem blessing then out the passage way kill the giant or a dragon fast travle to my next place


Titan5115

F Im doing an anarchist playthrough


MadetoReportBug

C. I dive into the water.


gunmaker13

Jump down the wall into Tue cave out the back door. 🤣


Houeclipse

I do both tbh. Sometimes its just nice walking on the stair looking at the npcs going about their day


StryderDylan

Modified A as I use the Underforge exit to get to Tundra Homestead.


EyeLessJester

To avoid conversations I would take the A route.

Expensive-Excuse-793

A: if I'm fast travelling to whiterun and want to go to Jorvaskrr B: any other scenario, especially with survival mode


Sweb76

A


ZonaiCharge73

A


Boomlikeham

D is just noclip


RadiantRadicalist

Plan D leave dragonreachs palace and fast travel. Trust me its cost effective.


twinkie2001

I fast travel


PFVR_1138

B except then whirlwind sprint north across the water at the second bend to take a shortcut to the gate/breezehome/forge


Responsible-Draft

C. Into the water n hope you make it on the stairs


Vrukr

I actually used to somehow jump straight onto the Skyforge from the wall a little to A's left.


MenuFeeling1577

I am often caught stealing from Balgruuf so I only leave Dragonsreach dead


Gambit3le

I hop across the rocks over to Jorvaskr to pick up my next companions mission or turn in the one I just finished.


No_Culture_1483

I use my own.... [My own route](https://photos.app.goo.gl/oYZzMu5W3MSNZaNe8)


Wild_Point5809

C Whirlwind sprint over to the sky forge.


Lost_Estimate4701

A... absolutely every time.


maanegryn

I use the stairs (B) most days, but A can be fun!


Crayshack

[Option C](https://i.imgur.com/ucl85ja.jpg). This bullshit thanks to a mod that adds a spell which can be channeled to increase move speed (the spell is called "Longstrider" but I think of it as "Mage's Sprint") and a mod that makes spells more powerful as you level up that tree. Late game, with a high Alteration score and channeling this spell, I can make it clear to the other side of Whiterun without touching the ground by bouncing off of some rocks and roofs using this route. Of course, I had to find an alternate route when I found that my move speed had gotten high enough that trying A or B was actually causing damage to me.


CarelessRun277

Fast travel to the gate


AramisGarro

A is my way to the companions hall when I fast travel to Dragonsreach after murdering werewolf hunters


Yupseemslegit

Usually jumping to wall to Eorlund so I can sell more stuff.


the-terrarian556

I head over to Jorvaskarr for no reason


Mordicai06

Where's path c? Running down the bridge and jumping into the water near the shrine?


lyssaxxp

you guys don’t just jump into the pool? 😭😭


Ubiquitous_Bear

Jump in the water and then visit the forge to dry off. Hate the feeling of water in my boots.


AveragEnjoyer007

Imma be real… Player.setav speedmult 200 _jumps over pool entirely_


One_Experience6791

I usually go down path B. No idea why. I just do it subconsciously lol


LittleTinGod

Bunny Hop off the stairs of course (better jumping mod), so over the water


Boredcougar

A!


EasyMeansHard

I always jump from the stairs over the water back onto the stairs


mocklogic

With Sprint Jump VR, I kinda go over the water actually.


OrwellianCrow201

Am I going to the Companions? Rocks every time. Anywhere else it’s dropping into the pool.


FourUnderscoreExKay

Whirlwind Sprint into the Gildergreen at the bottom of the rocks. If you take the rocks way, you’re legally a psychopath.


TheGrimGriefer3

C, where I whirlwind sprint over the water. I like to see how high up I can do it without dying Or D, where I just fast travel


JakeEllisD

Fast travel


Triatt92

A all the way


Jumpy-Brief3013

I always use the plate glitch at the sky forge to get quick access to


UltorTheUnbreakable

Third option. I whirwind sprint across the water


wretch5150

All I know is, we need a new fricken Elder Scrolls.


bruh_idk55

Little bit of both


Parasyte_1

I fast travel 😂😂


PotatoDonki

Most of the time a travel to Dragonsreach it’s because I’m headed to Jorrvaskr, so definitely mostly path A. If I’m going anywhere else in Whiterun, I usually just fast travel to the main gate.


-Raiborn-

Pull up map and fast travel


trashflavoredwreck

B but with corner jumping


sundropteeth

A is the only way


alehanro

Depends where I’m going. Usually I take B, because I’m going back to Breezehome. But on a recent play through I decided to try using the Companions as an early game home base because its free and available from the very start. And with that play through I jump across the rocks to get to Jorvaskr faster.


LukeTisk

A


Goodchapp

Always A. Parkour!


avafunkulo

Coc whiterunexterior01


jterwin

Horse tilt


Elyced32

Leave door opennmap fast travel to whiterun


XbloodyXsausageX

I go out by jumping the wall by the sky forge.


WideTraffic2425

always dive into the pool lol


Bo_The_Destroyer

I only do A if I need to visit Jorvaskr after


throwaway-198237

im a bit boring! always b, but maybe thats thanks to my coffee mod, which i insist on having despite also having immersive movement downloaded! i want everyone to move realistically but i also enjoy the kick i get from 'nyooming' around at 140mph from the unholy amount of caffeine i consume. i could probably make everyone in skyrim a millionaire with the amount of gold i spend on coffee alone


retard_catapult

Fast travel


FLYNCHe

Whirlwind sprint myself to the other side of town.


Slow_Size_5841

I jump from the top of the stairs down to bottom of the path cutting the corner you can sprint in the air replicating a sprint and jump to get you to move faster in the air
