WHY THE FUCK DO SKELETONS HAVE MONEY?


Why, when I search skeletons, do I find coins? This baffles and confuses me.
Well, i guess they used to be people at one point and they still have their belongings on them?

Or necromancy is powered by gold.

Either answer makes about as much sense as the other.
Also speaking of skeletons, i love being able to just kill them in one shot. It makes it so satisfying when they just fall apart into a bunch of bones.

Alchemy makes bank when you start filling out all the common ingredient effects. Like I don't even sell shit anymore because it would take too long to travel/wait for merchants to have enough money for it.

Oh god I'm just a hoarder now.

My fan-wonky answer is that in the world of Skyrim, they bury the dead with some gold to aid their passing in the afterlife. Akin to the dead having a coin for Charon to cross the River Styx. I mean, they never have more than a few coins, and you find them in the burial urns as well, so that's what I'm going with :p

Gold teeth, which would be hard and annoying to implement so they just give you gold coins when you pry them out.

Once the dragon has been backdoor feasted, the player must kill it. The dragon needs to be killed, so the spirit of death and gayness can enter the new eggs and reek havoc onto the rest of the world. This new destruction will be playable in the next Skyrim saga.

So I guess as a word of caution leave your companion outside if you're headed into Shalidor's Maze.

got her from the quest at the beginning of the game, put her in my house. never spoke to her again.

I beg to differ. I can do wonders with just one take. It's a pretty subtle thing though, so not many people are wizards at it.

1. I only took three shots and they all looked just like this one.
2. I shooped out the hud, actually.

Oh god I'm never going to finish this game.

I'm just going to be constantly looking up... I made a folder of nice screenshots and am using them all as my desktop background, just cycling through them all every 30 minutes.
