Did Bethesda devs just randomly decide that crates can't be opened anymore? So far, all the ones i've come across in the game are just non-interactive artwork.

I haven't come across a crate yet that i can open so i think they scrapped it but i dont really mind because there are so many other things you can loot

Yeah, in the grand scheme of things, its not a huge deal but considering that we're supposed to be able to interact with a good deal of our environment and that 90% of the crates in oblivion were able to be opened....

Yeah, they did. And why shouldn't they? You have to pry crates open, and crates are for shipped supplies. I never found anything good in a crate in Oblivion anyway. It saves us a lot of wasted time checking every box in a warehouse for a handful of coins.

I don't, mind crates always gave me crap loot anyways.
