Is your character a collector?

Post » Fri Dec 16, 2011 3:49 pm

Like many players, one of the self-made quests I take part in is the collection of one or more items as an in-game hobby. I started with skulls. Absolutely littered my place in Whiterun with them. Stacked them. Put them on shelves. Wrote stuff with them on the floor. I think my next quarry will be ancient nord war axes. So, what do you collect, why, and what do you do with your collections?

Imperial bows..... it may seem weird but I can't open a door in fear that they'll all fall out.

Then there is the obvious troll skull

and Corundum and Dwarven gives the room a certain shine

Was watching a DiD stream last night of a guy that we forced to collect booze and cheese :tongue:

It was actually pretty funny, because cheese wheels restore about 15 health, and when you have 50 of them, you can heal yourself a lot of times! And the 350 mead he gathered was pretty hilarious, as well...

I personally dont gather anything but the standard gems, etc. I might start gathering something though, maybe cheese or something, because it's awesome ^_^

Since I never seem to sell my scrolls, and I don't use them for anything, I decided to just drop every scroll I ever picked up in that empty room in Hjerim. Gotta make that stupid room useful for SOMETHING.

Yes. I keep one of each type of armor, apparel and weapon I find, but I'm mostly going about trying to find every book I can. I did this in both Morrowind and Oblivion as well. In Morrowind, I utilized the Book Rotate mod to turn my Solstheim house into a library containing every book in the game (including the ledgers from the various shops and mines). In Oblivion, I wasn't able to do this, so I just packed them in a crate. The fact that there are bookshelves in this game makes me happy. I just wish they'd hurry up and fix them already!!

I can't wait for the CS so I can build a full-on library. :celebration:

I collect books. Even ones that I already have.

Now if we could just get a book case that could hold them all. :sadvaultboy:

My current character is a Dunmer Sorcerer who is obsessed with ancient knowledge. So he collects books, enchanted weapons and armor.

Dark Brotherhood Assassin Contracts. I keep them as a tally for how many assassins I've taken down.

That, and flagons. I have a dream to fill Breezehome from bottom to top in flagons.

I collect arrows.... with my knee.

First time using that stupid term, couldn't resist the temptation anymore :wink_smile:


Seriously, I collect a lot of books and any unique items that I find.

I collect skill books and any unique weapons I can find. At this point a level 1 character would probably get to level 10 just by visiting my house!

I thought about collecting regular books as well, but I have literally no space left in my bookcases.

My new character likes to collect glowy stuff. Torchbugs, Glowing Mushrooms, Nirnroot. She has no interest in anything else. :blush: I made her a girly-girl, heavy-armour, dual-wielding fighter-type. She rawks.
