The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is many things. It’s a role-playing game with plenty of character customization options. It’s a fantasy adventure filled with dragons, magic, and strange covens where you can become the leader of a magical academy without knowing how to use magic. Above all, though, it’s a game set in a vast world where you can wander for a long time, finding quests, dungeons, and new encounters.
But someone focused on “walking”, perhaps the part that many players don’t particularly pay attention to, and asked how many steps are needed to get from one corner of the Skyrim map to another. We literally mean walking, in real life.
The Skyrim Player’s Quest
As you can see in a sped-up video below, content creator ShakeMistake began walking from Riften to Solitude, two cities very far from each other, the furthest apart to be precise. He didn’t do it by tilting the controller stick or pressing a keyboard button. He did it by walking in front of his gaming station with the help of the Stepl app, which transforms a step performed into the moving reality of the character.
It Took 14,000 Steps To Walk From Riften to Solitude, With My Feet.

In total, it took 14,052 steps to walk from one corner of Skyrim to another. The funniest part is that the content creator also asked his fans if they really wanted to see him do something like that, since it would probably take hours. The answer was clearly yes, and in total it took just over two hours.
It should also be noted that ShakeMistake has disabled the AI of the enemies, so that they do not attack him during the journey. What is the purpose of this challenge? Nothing, of course, other than to create content and allow you to see exactly how many steps and how much time are needed.
Finally, we leave you with a video that shows the enormous progress made by Skyblivion, the remake of Oblivion made with the Skyrim engine.
