But Gabe, didn't you play Skyrim a few years ago? That's not something you just sweep under the rug and forget.
With the number of brooms he was carrying around? I'm not sure...
My loot OCD destroys me in Skyrim. That game needs the thing from Fallout 4 where you can remove encumbrance restrictions. I could restrain myself in town, and didn't steal everything. But in a dungeon? I killed these fucking orcs, I WILL be taking all their dishes and baskets.

I'm pretty good these days about leaving garbage. Magic or advanced weapons and armor, gems, and potions mostly. Even then i still run out of capacity on both me and my fleet l follower.
I've purchased Skyrim 3 times. PS3, then PC during a Steam sale, then on PS4. Farthest I've ever gotten in it is only about 4 hours in, but I keep buying it anyway.
But not this time Bethesda. Fool me three times, shame on me. But you won't be fooling me a 4th time.

I couldn't make it through the tutorial. I knew if there was that much crap in the starting area, I'd never survive the real game.

Skyrim was the worst with this because of the damn dragon bones that weigh a ton. I always just disabled carrying capacity in those games with the console commands.
I always felt like carrying capacity was part of the game. Stuff like Dragon Bones that you can't use until late game just encouraged me to have a house I could stash stuff. My wife plays with carrying capacity set to Max, but I feel like you'd have to police yourself somewhat so Dweomer ruins don't just become a source of near endless wealth. Weighing the value-weight ratio of certain items against how long I planned on being somewhere before you head to town was part of the game of "how can I most efficiently earn money" to me. It may seem like imposing chores on myself, but I enjoyed the restriction. It would be easy enough to give myself infinite wealth if I didn't want to have to work for my money.
Of course your mileage may vary. My friend plays without fast travel. While I can definitely appreciate how big that makes the world, I don't think I could do it.

I've never been too bad in Bethesda RPGs until Fallout 4. Most of the shit in Skyrim is useless, so I can safely ignore it. I do have a special quirk, though. No matter what it is, if the person/container I'm looting contains edibles (except potions), I have to eat it all. That orc had 3 carrots, a cabbage, bonemeal, butterfly wings, and 4 purple mountain flowers? Dinner time, boyyyy!
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

Wander into the backside of a vampire's castle where no one has been in literal centuries, piles of bones and unidentifiable rotting meat everywhere. Collapsed architecture, spiderwebs, ooh a cookpot, don't mind if i do.

Skull's post reminds me of a thing where Jerry described a habit in one these western rpg's of collecting & then consuming intoxicants just to see what happened. Wouldn't know where to begin looking for the exact quote though.

I'm imagining my Skyrim character stumbling around one of the towns drunk now. Trying to walk forward but having the movement shudder off to the side from time to time. Every once in awhile the camera flops over sideways and I'm looking very closely at the ground. Perhaps sometimes I get locked up in the town drunk tank for the night. Or maybe the screen just fades to black and then I wake up in strange and sometimes amusing places.

Yep, me too. I feel that one of the follower options should be a very large cart pulled by two massive horses.

I remember this but can't find it. Google is having a bizarrely hard time returning results from the actual site.
Pretty sure it started out with Tycho describing how to learn what alchemy ingredients do, you eat them, which naturally leads to him collecting all the flowers and insects in a town, going to the square to eat them all at once and trip balls.

I wouldn't overestimate Gabe's capacity for memory retention.

It’s never said he’s playing Skyrim considering this new comic that might be Oblivion!
The comic doesn't, but the news post does.
Unless we want to start a debate about whether news post information is considered canon or not.

That was a different Gabe. Wait, did you think every time he dies and comes back, that's the SAME Gabe? That'd just be dumb.

Indeed.
