or maybe you're just very, VERY lucky? the xbox version was supposed to be supreme compared to the ps3 version "one of the main reasons i bought an xbox actually" but this of course could not be further from the truth, in fact i happen to have 2 friends with a strange issue, both own ps3 consoles with skyrim but one's ps3 is over 5 years old while the other has the newest model which he purchased just last year, the old ass original model runs skyrim near perfect while the newest model can't run it for more than 30 minutes without a total game freeze, needless to say he is very pissed at this strange occurence.. coincidence?
Did you ever notice that it's not just stuff you drop? No matter where I go anymore, all the weapons and shields of those that I have vanquished are still cluttering up the landscape. Sure, the bodies are gone, but those things are still there. I keep kicking them as I run past. Maybe one of these days I'll take a follower and just go pick everything up and sell it. Not for profit, but just as a "Keep Skyrim Clean" campaign.well.. problem is the devs kinda left us with "no choice" but to sell them, skyrim is the only game i've ever played where everything you drop just stays there permanately, had they designed it like other games and made them disappear after awhile it never would have been an issue.. i mean answer me this, why the hell would you ever wanna keep a simple note dropped in the middle of nowhere which reads "New museum opening in dawnstar"that makes no sense and it really begs the question of "wtf were they thinking" when they thought that'd be a good idea? no wonder this game is so hard to maintain on console, even on pc theirs just no reason for that! most times i don't even care about making money for items i pick up, i just want the damn things gone so they'll stop causing lag and freeze ups so i can play the fukin game in peace! bad game design imo.. i absolutely hate having to take the unnecessary time to make sure i pick up each and every weapon, bow, and shield that litters the ground after a fight to give them to the first merchant i see "what am i a recycling janitor!!??" but if i don't my game will likely freeze, thats just stupid and makes no sense.. i love this game but crazy tasks like that seriously make me question why i play it sometimes.
yep, and if you wait too long to pick them up they'll float up into the sky and become what i refer to as "ghost weapons" and then you can't pick them up.. lolDid you ever notice that it's not just stuff you drop?

You're right! So that's why I occassionally see swords and hammers floating up above the roadways. I never really thought about it. I just though I had poltergeists. :0yep, and if you wait too long to pick them up they'll float up into the sky and become what i refer to as "ghost weapons" and then you can't pick them up.. lolDid you ever notice that it's not just stuff you drop?

what sucks about floating weapons is even tho u can't pick them up they still count as being there, so the game keeps up with them causing lag in the process and theirs nothing you can do about it.. frustrating as all hell. i recently started a new game and leave no enemy weapon behind, even used the restoration exploit to max my carry weight just so i can always hold them and it has helped tremendously! not one single freeze up since i started doing this and the lag is so mild its barely even noticeable.
I never really thought about a lag being caused by it. I never have taken everything from all of my victims. I wonder if I took it and then just left 'em in a barrel or something if that would take care of the issue. I would assume they'd disappear once they respawned.
it causes lag because the game memory has to keep up with all those weapons being there, this probably also explains why there is more lag in certain areas than others, more weapons lying around = more lag obviously. also i don't recomend placing them in barrels cause it takes a very long time for barrel and chest items to respawn.
Then where should I put them! I can't carry all of that all the time. Besides, do I really need a 25 septim legion sword when I already have over 100K? Oh well, next build I'll have to just start keeping everything and selling it. Fortunately it appears that only weapons, shields and torches are an issue (lord knows I have so many torches just burning away on the road all over SR that I'm surprised we even need the sun anymore - and that there aren't more forest fires!).
you sell them to merchants, regardless if you buy them out they'll still accept things from you and its the only thing i've found so far which "truly" gets rid of an item..
OYE! I guess that means I need to start working on Stamina (which I always ignore), the Steed stone & enhancements. Frankly it's stupid programming. Like I'm going to go back for a hide shield or a foreswarn ax when I'm at 60th level. Please. Sloppy.
very rarely does that happen on my game, usually if i see a floating weapon its transparent and i can't touch it.
