what are you obsessed with collecting

[jcurr25]

I am lvl 80 with north of 250k so I have no need to collect things for money, but I still find myself compelled to collect things whenever I go on quests. The biggest things that I have to pack rat away are gems, hides, ingots/ore/smithing items and the random things that look cool, ex the paragons from dawnguard. Wondering what other people out there just have to bring back to their houses?

 

[TheLonelyWolve]

Dwarven Centurion Dynamo's, the working kind. Sometimes I like to collect a mass amount of wolf pelts when out hunting.

And people's souls

 

[Twiffle]

Iron Arrows, one of my characters has over 30,000, and shes not even an archer.

 

[xsneakyxsimx]

I tend to keep stuff like the weapons for being Thane of the Holds, and any unique equipment that exists.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Corpses.

 

[DrunkenMage]

Gold ingots.

 

[AS88]

Unique and valuable weapons and armour are the highlights of my Proudspire Manor armoury.

But don't tell anyone about the chest full of jewellery, flawless diamonds and other gems

EDIT: Also, books. The rarer and more interesting the better. I'm currently carrying about 30 new books I've found on Solstheim in the past three hours

I always take the pelts when I kill wolves/bear/sabre cats/snow and ice variations of those.

I also pick up every spell book in find as random loot, but don't read them. Right now I have about a dozen different (and a couple duplicates) spell books stored on the bookshelves in Breezehome. It's nice to look at the colourful displays.

Actually, ever since I bought the house, I haven't sold a single thing. It's all stored somewhere: weapons, apparel, gems, dragon bones & scales etc.

Alts....

 

[Hildolfr]

I have a character that collects circlets.

 

[xsneakyxsimx]

Alts....

Not sure I follow. What is/are Alts?

 

[Zolo-Shea]

It's hardly an "obsession," but I'll take a skull that catches my eye every now and then, so that I may painstakingly position it on the shelves of my house. I'm so predator!

 

[Niq]

Not sure I follow. What is/are Alts?

Alt is the abbreviation for Alternative.
Alts is the plural.
I keep making and making and making new characters, i.e. collecting them.

Ah, okay. Thank you for clarifying.

Same here, unique stuff. I also try to keep the gift for becoming Thane in the appropriate house on display. Oh, and Black Soul Gems, I go out of my way for those beauties.

Additionally every Dragonborn I've ever played has turned the house in Windhelm into a museum dedicated to the Civil War. Items in there include my Legion Uniform, the Imperial sword used to execute Ulfric, a Ulfric's clothes, and a Stormcloak uniform.

 

[KaitoGhost]

Jewelry, gems, smithing components, soul gems, ebony weapons.

 

[FarmGirl]

Dwemer plates, pots, bowls, forks, spoons-well, you get the idea. Then I remove all the "regular" stuff from my tables, etc. and carefully place my dwemer ware.

 

[Naginata]

In different games, I collect different things... for example, in Fallout New Vegas, I collect pre-war books, teddy bears, and toy cars.

In one of my characters, I like to collect bones. Any bones I see. I hoard them away and pile them in my house like a maniac.... tee hee hee :3

And I just like to collect unique clothing too, even if I never wear it. For example, the wedding clothes when you kill Vittoria Vici, barmaid clothes (not exactly that rare, but they're nice), emperor robes, etc.

 

[KaitoGhost]

Does it count as collecting if I drink every alcoholic beverage I come across?
