As mentioned in an unrelated thread I have an obsession problem when it comes to Skyrim: I collect items, common and rare, such as....

Rock Warbler, Pine Thrush and Chicken Eggs

Powdered Mammoth Tusks

Human Hearts and Flesh

Daedra Hearts

Briar Hearts

(no I'm not a necromancer) I don't know why I collect them as I don't often use them, I have amassed a huge amount, esp. with the 'Merchant' perk.

So, your turn. What item or items do you compulsively and obsessively collect? And if you can please give a reason why? It may help solve my collection obsession

Every book I can find so I can fill up my huge library

My previous character was a collector. He would collect all types of beverages, gems, ingots, certain ingredients.

My current character collects books that seem interesting. It's been a pain finding the 2920 series.

whats prv?

Nord mead- because it is proper mead
sweetrolls- I dont know
skooma- because it is Skooma
moon sugar- because it is Moon sugar
canis root- because Neloth
wooden swords- because they are wooden swords
ancient nord weapons and armour- My favourite weapon and armour set.

My phone is a really pain in the ass to type. I'll point out of the text box and press add reply. It happens quite often.

Do you know why?

Quote of me from another thread.

As to why, for the books, it is because I like reading, and for the rest of the items, I honestly have no idea why I collect them.

Anything Dunmer related. Mostly books and Skooma( I had a room filled with Skooma in Proudspire Manor, I felt like the Pablo Escobar of Tamriel), but sometimes clothing and weapons. But mostly books. And Skooma. Sweet, sweet Skooma. STOP JUDGING ME, I'M NOT ADDICTED.

I like to collect almost everything, except weapons and armor and potions. So much so that i downloaded a mod that made many items weightless (ingredients, food, misc).

I especially love collecting mini trophies such as troll skulls and mammoth tusks and such. I also collect the shields of guards after i murder them. All the shields of the different cities look real nice in my collection

I love collecting food as well. Makes me feel like i have a decade's worth of rations.

Gold. It's so... golden.

Im trying to collect people, but its proving to be quite difficult

*edit* as in people for my hearthfire homes. shame your limited to only a small number

Back in Morrowind my father used to collect Argonians and Khajit, but somehow people frowned upon that...

Salt, don't now why. I could supply the whole of Tamriel with salt.

Magic rings, because I like them.

Nordic weapons, because I love the wicked look of them.

Many other things, just because I like to.

Food and drinks.

All of it.

I think I've got you all beat: I collect every enchanted armour and weapon.

I started doing this so I could wear them or give them to my follower, but my smithing wasn't high enough to improve them at that moment. So I have loads of steel, iron, leather and all other lower level enchanted weapons and armour. I've been meaning to disenchant the useless ones and sell the rest, but it would take so long that I'll just do it later when vendors have more money. My current character now also collects the divine's necklaces, circlets and books. I have a checklist of all of the books I've got so that I don't pick them up again.

Damn.

Anything Enchanted is on the top of my list.

I also Like to collect...Giants toe's..My character hates Giants so..yea
