Hardest Thing I've Ever Done In Skyrim

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 3:03 pm

I've killed dragons, beheaded bandits, jumped off waterfalls to get away from saber cats. I've had insanely long fights with ice trolls, and raised a zombie from the dead. The hardest thing I've ever done was arrange a stack of plates in my house. It's incredible how hard that is, haha.

This isn't a complaint, or a bash. I want to hear your stories about the hardest things you've done, or just hear you complain about your home decor issues.

Get my books to stack in a manner that doesn't look like some temp at the library has a bad attitude.

I should have added that, haha. I'm having trouble there too. I just want to take time off my violence and decorate my house. :sadvaultboy:

Just wait until you’ve spent 30 minutes to an hour placing an arrangement of things on a table or inside of something just to leave your house, quest or explore and come back just to find your items all over the floor or gone. Example, I placed over 50 gems inside of a basket just to come back and find my bottom floor in my Riften house littered with them. That was the last time I ever tried anything like that again.

I've seen this bug mentioned a few times, and always just thought, "It'll never happen to me." It did once, but not extreme. I really just want a better mod or fix for the house decorating.

Try stacking 50 gold bars and get all the dragon priest masks lined up and walking out of the house coming back a few hours later and all of it's on the floor. :banghead:

They really need to make a patch to fix this. Because at the end of the day when all the quests are done and everything is perfect in the land of Skyrim, all we’ll have left is what we can create with our imagination. It might sound cheesy, but it’s true. We’ll all start wanting to totally change our houses looks up and it’ll be pointless if you spend hours just to have everything scattered on the floor.

Might I turn your gazes towards your housecarl? This instant cluttering of your carefully stacked items is no doubt the result of sudden irrepressible urges of rage from your lonely house-sitters.
In fact, 3 out of 3 subjects I had tested showed strong symptoms of this previously unknown disease.

I think I will call it: Obsessive-cluttering disorder.

From what I've read, people say it only happens that first time, and when you replace them it won't happen again. Unless you put them back in your inventory, and then try to place them again. Or something like that.

I've spent more time trying to flip an upside down loaf of bread than it takes to kill a falmer shadowmaster...

This. Don't really know why the didn't add something that lets you flip an item.

Also, I'll have to try that to the person who said it only happens once.

LMAO. Waiting for that new Psychological Disorders in TES for Skyrim, haha.

I have OCD and I approve of this.

I once tried to put two pieces of meat (chicken maybe?) back on the plate in the back of my Whiterun house. I never could get the plate sitting flat on the shelf with the 2 pieces of meat ON the plate. I eventually used telekinesis and threw the meat at a guard outside... I felt better after that.

I also once had that really nice Dibella Statue from Riften, the one from the hostel place that's not solid gold. Every time I entered my house it was on the floor again. Then finally it disappeared completely. As I was frantically looking for it I hear from upstairs Lydia say "Are you lost?" or something like that. I then decided that she was to blame for my statue being lost and she was mocking me. I then politely explained to Lydia I had prepared a special picnic for her up on the Throat of the World (it has a wonderful view for a picnic) and that there would be a special surprise when we were done eating the wonderful meal I had prepared for her. When we were done I leaned over and gently whispered in her ear "FUS RO DAH!!!... [Censored]" Again I felt better... but I never did get my statue back...

Most definitely needs a mod to assess and try to aid the emotion and mental disorders of Skyrim. We should write a book.

I spend way to much time moving dead bodies around in "compromising" positions :D

There's a certain butterfly jar, and I thought, "Great addition to my alchemy lab!"
Only it never positions the right side up when I pick it up. :swear: and when I do get it right, it falls down.
If someone could mod some cats or some thing in? That might help with the immersion break.

Frustrating as home decorating is, my worst was accidentally quicksaving right before I died, reload/die reload/die, eventually I had to go with the
autosave. :cryvaultboy:

You know in Oblivion dead body manipulation was my best skill. I should do it more here.
