Why are there no more beggars on bedrolls? : V

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 10:56 pm

Just wondering, going about the cities I never notice any beggars sleeping in alleys or whatever, like they did in Oblivion. I know in Riften there's about 4 in Beggar's row (including, surprisingly, the rather rich appearing Argonian that sells jewelery) and in Markarth there's that underground area, but where do they sleep in the other cities?

I'm puzzled about this as well, at least from another angle. I've been unable to find any beggars at night time, since I've been wondering where they all sleep. I think they just disappear and reappear o.o

Problem solved.

The homeless guy in ivarstead sleeps on a bedroll in the ruined house too.

There IS a practical and obvious reason: It's SKYRIM. The land of snow and ice! - if you sleep outside in rags and a bedroll you'll freeze to death.

Haha, I have no idea. Perhaps Farengar wanted to tinker with his enchanting desk. Or perhaps his bed is too soft. Either way, he placed two bedrolls on top of eachother and decided to sleep there, under his desk. I couldn't in any way remove the bedrolls either which was very annoying.

Maybe he wet his bed and had to move

I see them all over the place. Riften has a lot of them. They have some kind of homeless shelter and an "nice" orphanage.

Markarth also have a place for beggars and poor people.

Nice shadows, mind telling us your ini settings?

The reason his shadows aren't pixelated is because he's indoors, where the shadow draw distance is much lower. If you want to improve your outdoor shadows, either lower the draw distance or up the shadow resolution (but beware the candles, should you opt for the latter).
