| | If players attempt to save and reload outside Nyhofn during this memory—perhaps to see all the responses to the dialogue choices—the brother's corpse will reload back in the pit he was found in. To see all three responses, players must carry the corpse back on each reload, thus it is best to make this save at the pit instead. |
