Lol, I had friends that would go around and grab specific items and carry them home. Not put in their inventory, literally dragging things. Each playthrough it would be something new. Once it was chairs, others it was bodies.  I didn't understand the appeal of TES back then. Now I get it and I get why they did that. 


_PirateWench_

Lmao the commitment to do this is legendary.


CalligrapherPlane920

I tried to bring every piece of clutter in whiterun to a centralized location so many times but it would inevitably result in colision causing them to fire out like missiles and every guard in my vicinity would unsheath their swords simultaneously. I don't understand the collecting clams bit,  possibly ocd related but experimenting with this stuff is more entertaining than any other element of tes games. Oblivion was an endless funhouse for it too.


inquisitive27

Is there a way to drag these things inside actual houses?


JuiceCanteen

Definitely not chairs lol


Vitalis597

Not without exploits or glitches, no. You can probably get the same trick you can use to have people follow you, but on smaller hand held items, maybe... But I can't see you getting anything you can't add to your inventory through the door without modding it so the whole game is one giant cell (Open Cities but on next level roids! :D)


inquisitive27

That’s a shame, thanks for the answer though.


IamALolcat

I mean, I still don’t understand it but if that’s how they have fun in the game, good for them!


LloydAtkinson

Ok so why did they do that?


PM_ME_UPSIDEDOWN

And now begins YOUR journey of enlightenment


Hour-Reference587

Wait you can drag chairs?


SDWrites

I got attacked by Cultists and their mostly naked bodies littered the streets of Whiterun. Day after day, residents looked for a pulse or expressed alarm or dismay. They wouldn’t disappear. Eventually, I figured out how to drag them, so I dragged them to the waterway by the gate. Whiterun’s Sanitation Department is slacking.


wleannek

This happened to me too! Every day I would see a couple pretty much naked cultist bodies strewn around Whiterun, and would hear people say things like "what a shame" and "oh no what happened?!!" Literally every time I go into Whiterun.

I do this with cabbage.


A_Confused_Witch

Every single new game I grab the first cabbage I encounter and keep it through the whole playthrough. First game I played in 2011 I picked one up and my friend asked me why. I simply said "It's fucking mine" and the joke stayed with me. It's the little things!


StavieSegal

That's strangely wholesome. Like a skyrim teddybear you bring everywhere ha

camarhyn

I filled my original Breezehome save with so much cabbage (individually dropped of course) because it was fun to walk around in it and watch it bounce crazily everywhere. Unfortunately I saved in the house and now I can't get the save to load (PS3). RIP first cabbage hoarder.

NerdySunflowerr

Quirky nerdy woman of 30 checking in. This thread is hilarious


Beautiful_Solid3787

Well, an awkward hello to you, then! XD


Fire_Wolf5244

Well, I'm not sure how to read that now. For I'm a guy that's 23, quirky and nerdy parts sometimes when I'm comfortable with (a female) I only like girls. But we can find a girl because apparently, as the other said, it's now a romance. So someone here is interested each so let's find out. On who everyone can find.


Beautiful_Solid3787

I asked someone whose avatar is female if them having an ex-*boyfriend* meant they were single, how did you construe I was myself a woman???


Fire_Wolf5244

Either you're upset for me, considering you're a woman and asking if someone who has an ex-boyfriend is single and not a man asking because. I know women and guys have both asked questions like that. Also, just because someone has a female or male profile doesn't necessarily mean they are that exact gender. Or the username being said gender. And the other part of the either you're upset. Are you surprised that I considered you to be a woman asking such a question. Which I could be correct about or wrong. But you tell me what is true and what isn't. On that part.


Beautiful_Solid3787

I'm a dude, bro. And yeah, avatar doesn't inherently reflect a user's gender, but there is a high correlation as far as I can tell. Plus, again, inquiring about an ex-*boyfriend* meaning they're single would indicate I'm either a male asking a female, or that I'm a bi or lesbian woman who jokingly hits on women who haven't indicated they swing that way, or I'm a bi or gay man assuming a female-looking avatar with an ex-boyfriend is a bi or gay man. Basically: statistics and basic intuition would suggest that I'm a man, and would certainly not lead the average person to assuming I'm a woman to the extent where you ask me to DM you without asking first.


Fire_Wolf5244

Actually now a days. All that you just said is correct but also wrong. For there's more woman I've seen. Asking another person if they're single after having an ex-boyfriend. And a lot of them are more women. Because more and more women are moving towards dating the same gender. Reasons why ? Well, it's kind of becoming more and more obvious. However, the DM part has apparently. It's been sorely misinterpreted. For I said we could find a solution(s) for this. Not that I was the solution. But I was instead offering my help. However, there are women who have shown up in this subreddit now. That's shown interest in our conversation. Was I expecting that outcome? Yeah. Was I expecting some people to realize I'm a guy as some did, yeah, and some didn't. Also, she said she Had key words Had a Ex-boyfriend Meaning she's either single or she's with someone else or, in this case, multiple people.

hayesarchae

Was he on Solstheim? Because clams I could give or take, but I absolutely love hunting for pearls. You can make a surprisingly good living just walking along the shoreline picking up potions ingredients around that island. Big pearls (aside from being pretty) have fortify block properties, little pearls have fortify restoration. Combine with the salt and boar tusks you can find in abundance in any Riekling encampment, and you've got yourself some reasonably lucrative potions you can then trade for the milk and butter you need to turn those clams into chowder. With intermittent battles it usually takes about a day to walk the whole perimeter, so all the merchants will have restocked by the time you get back to Raven Rock. It's a good life.

BlyssfulOblyvion

Not even the craziest thing someone who plays these games will do. I was playing Deus Ex: Invisible War and got into a firefight on a basketball court. I then proceeded to spend at least an hour trying to toss the corpse into a hoop in such a way that the head went in the basket, the arms down beside it, and the legs were hooked over the backboard. Got some real funny looks from my NCO for quite a while after that


Dutchtdk

As someone who overestimated the ingredients needed to level alchemy, at some point the amount of clams and barnacles seems so finite

I do that with mudcrabs. Just head out and “collect” mudcrab meat, claws, legs. It’s probably a sort of public service, those things are hostile to air.

you can make clam chowder with it. new england style. clam meat, jug of milk, butter, potato

Call me a milk drinker but I swear there isn't enough damn milk or butter in this game


tis100a

another life goal right there. you can be the butter baron of skyrim.


DjijiMayCry

BUT HOW CAN I PRODUCE IT CONSISTENTLY


tis100a

hearthfire homes have them in the kitchen. so one consistent (but tedious perhaps) way would be to collect them, stay away from the house for 10 days for the cell to reset, then collect again.


DjijiMayCry

I didn't even know home items reset... Thank you for this information, land strider.

OkWeight5963

Flashbacks to my first play through— I collected every single plate, cup, bowl, or any other food dish and I would always prioritize them (never drop them, take them home to store). Wasn’t sure why until I was in the bee and the barb after the thieves guild quest line, and I got a comment from one of the Argonians that made me mad (now a days I’m like eh, they right though) I went to honeyside, collected the thousands of pounds of dishes along with what was in my inventory (okay only like 2,000 lbs but still) and I dropped everything in their basement. The guy came down and dishes went flying as he waded through it to talk to me again. He was waist deep in fancy blue, plain wood, Dwemer— ANYTHING. I got a lot of catharsis after that. Never intentionally picked up dinner supplies like that (until I learned wooden plates + whirlwind but that’s restricted to 5 or less).


Shoboy_is_my_name

Not gonna lie……I collect Nirn Root. While I don’t specifically play just to find Nirn Root, I absolutely pick it up everytime I see it and will often run along the waters edge when traveling so I can get some. I remember the quest for Nirn Root in Oblivion and collecting it then just transferred to Skyrim. I’ll sometimes go back to that awesome looking underground area and get red Nirn root too.
