Bad Skyrim Habbits

[Teritus]

I'll search every single little corner of every single cave to make sure that I didn't miss out on some 8 gold.

My horses keep dying because I try to jump over waterfalls and off rocks. I always survive but my poor horse never does.

And I steal every cabbage I come across. And I waste my arrows because I shoot a deer once, it runs away, then I chase after it and lose it XP

I have a habit of stealing things. Ever since morrowind I usually clean out every store or house I go into.

It's like when my cursor turns red, it's just DARING me to take it.


The other day I accidentally got caught stealing and the shopkeeper was like "Well you could have just asked!"

It was a bit awkward, but did not deterr me from going upstairs and stealing some giants toes.

Even when you already have more than you could ever spend. "Wait, there is one more chest over there!"

Bad habit of not paying attention to details. Had 14 Shouts and only 3 unlocked because I never noticed there was an "Unlock Shout" button. Kept killing dragons and wondering when these darn shouts would be unlocked already! Wife pointed it out to me then asked if I had taken an arrow to the brain.

HAHA, I did this same exact thing on my first character. I couldn't figure out why, when I selected the shouts it kept saying I needed dragon souls and I looked at my dragon soul count and I had plenty to use...
then I finally noticed the unlock button, but not for a few weeks.

I do that too...

I do that too! You never know what's in there- could be some cool armor/weapon.

And there could be 2 gold (more likely). Sadly I will continue to look, just can't help it.

That is, sadly, one of the bummers of this game. That being the chests with the harder locks, experts and masters, might only have a few gold in them. I get so frustrated when I spend time and lockpicks on one of those chests only to be so badly rewarded.

This was the best part of Black Tongue's Post!

I don't fast travel, so usually when I get to a new town my inventory is full from things I pick up along my journey. I tend to make a bee line for the nearest weapon shop as soon as I get to the city to unload my inventory and ignore npcs standing in the roads looking to talk. Or when they have two NPCs arguing or engaging a conversation you're obviously supposed to eaves drop on, some times I just don't bother. I probably miss out on some quests, but most of the time I'm just not in the mood to listen to 5 npcs before I can walk 10 feet.
Oh and off topic, but I hate when the names of inns or taverns sound like weapon shops and vice versa. Haha some times it takes a fair bit of wandering to find that weapon shop.

How about playing Skyrim on XBox after playing some other game on PS3 and getting the buttons confused? A instead of X and so forth. Takes awhile to rewire the synapses.

Also picking my nose while playing.

Haha nasty.

It's hard to tell what buttons you are pressing when you have so many boogers on your controller.

I always try to kill someone annoying, but it turns out there invincible. darn racist nord from riften....

^ haha... I got tired of listening to the that Priest of Talos in Whiterun going on and on and never shutting up, so, after months (in game too...) and with a maxed out sneak and archery (I'm lvl 57), I jumped up the roof of the hall of the dead and while hiddem shot him dead with one arrow.
No one complained... I swear I heard a cheer... lol
