No, you said: "and simply forgot to take the armor back after I killed him". Even had you remembered, without using a glitch, it would have been impossible to retrieve anything sold to Belethor.

I cannot be the only person this has happened to. No other poster has, like, caught a buzz and ripped off a court wizard?

Ah - I see your point. Either way, that killer armor was gone-zo.

Funny tale!

I have the misfortune of falling off of my horse all the time because I use a realistic needs mod. I empty out alcoholic drinks so I can fill the bottles with water. This leaves me incredibly drunk and prone to falling over and off horses.

That's bad ass. Have you ever been loaded, galloping around and run someone over?

Even sober I charge everything in sight. Catapulted several boars into the Riften lake before.

I've wanted to split Calder's head a few times myself,but i have never played Skyrim 3 sheets in the wind,thanks for sharing this this though gave me a laugh

Calder is a lazy, good-for-nothing POS. I had another incident (referenced in another post) where, despite my towing the line, he lost his mind and attacked me for no reason. That worthless mother f***** sits around eating bread all day, doesn't even get up when I come in. Then one day, out of the blue, the azzhole starts attacking me. There are easier ways to quit your job than to square off against a) your boss and a death machine. He got dealt with.

Is this funny, awful or both?

The following is completely true.

I am on my third playthrough of Skyrim (PS3) and am a level 42 Nord; I started this third playthrough because alcohol ruined my character's life on my second playthrough.

My wife was out of town a month ago and I went out with some friends and got pretty hammered...ok, really freakin' hammered. I cabbed it back to my house and figured: "hey, wife isn't home, I can play as much Skyrim as I want." I passed out while playing and when I woke up the next morning I didn't remember anything I had done in the game (swear to the gods).

My character was standing in my house in Whiterun wearing nothing but a sword and a Daedra helmet, literally everything from the tables and shelves was on the floor, Ysolda (my wife) was dead, the "Do you get to the cloud district very often?" guy was dead in the alchemy lab area and Lydia was lying dead at the table in my room. I figure it must have been one of those glitches where you enter your house and the NPC talking to you follows you in. In my drunken state, when I "arrived home," I must have assumed Ysolda was carrying on an affair with that dude so I killed both of them and then run upstairs and killed Lydia.

I checked my inventory and had over 20 stolen items - everything from leather strips to clothes irons. I figured I should unload some of the stuff but when I went to Belefor's, the place was trashed and there were three dead bodies behind the counter (Belefor includ
ed). No guards were after me (I must have abused my Thane priviledge) so I kept playing, but when I fast-traveled to Markarth, all the guards started attacking me on sight. I ran into the Silver-blood Inn, there were about 7 dead people lying around the bar. I figured I needed to cool my heals so I went to Hjerim and found, again, my house trashed, my house carl dead and a pile of axes on the floor - a pile. Ok, I need to split again so off to Honeyside. Garden was ravaged - everything harvested yet no food in my inventory, at least 6 chickens lying dead with arrows in them, two bodies in my back yard (turning into compost I suppose) and another dead house carl.

I wanted to laugh but I was like really questioning if this was unhealthy behavior. I layed off the game for a few weeks.
