So I've got alot of stuff to carry and the main thing that seems to be slowing me down is all these dragon bones and scales. Does anyone know where I can put my stuff or get a house? I don't want to have to give up potential dragon armor because I'm over encumbered. BTW my Lydia is dead so I can't use her.

Buy a house in Whiterun. Only 5000g. You need to talk to the Jarl's Steward (Can't remember his name)

the breezehome in whiterun. buy it from the guy in dragonsreach. its only 5000 gold

Edit: Thanks guys!

Yeah, there should be a shopping trolley mod, so you can be like a real homeless person.

I'd keep it in a toilet, if you put it anywhere else people will think weirdly of ye. hhahaa

Kill someone unimportant like the elf in riverwood after you finished the quest and take over his home

how is it people are losing followers? They don't die unless you deliver the finishing blow in someway. If you have a flame atronach and the flame atronach dies by an enemy it will cause an AOE fire damage blast that is considered "Your attack" and that can kill followers too so be careful. Otherwise your companions should go to one knee and get up after a while so as long as you aren't careless.

chamber pots usually do the trick just make sure you dump them every once in awhile.

After you buy the house in Whiterun, you can fully upgrade it for under 2000g - gives you 11 or 12 storage containers.
