Post your Skyrim addictions.

This can be any silly little thing you absolutely MUST do or find yourself doing over and over again.

2 for me, first and foremost is collecting gems and putting them on display anywhere I can. I am a dragon at heart after all.

2nd is Decorating my home in Solitude.

I love kettles. What I will do is put one in a corner of my house then fill it to the brim with gems of all kinds. I then go to the basin on a stand in my bedroom and set the Sigil Stone on top of it (crystal ball!!!) Falmer Eye goes on the shelf; Bugs in a jar go on the mantle behind the table on the second floor. I fill the non interact-able containers on the first floor with gold ingots, the shelf on the bottom floor is lined with Centurion Dynamo Cores, the enchanting table has Grand Soul gems sitting on it....I could go on and on and on and on and on and on.

Man if a thief could ever survive my housecarl and me, they would be set for life robbing my house

I collect every book I don't already have (including journals and notes), horde all my dragon scales/bones in my house, and make sure I have one set of every outfit.

Ha, a little too general. I'm looking for things within the game that you are addicted too.

Example, collecting things, killing bunnies, shooting knees, flying Giant Club airlines....

Searching Chests, Urns or anything to get coins.

I have no idea why but I feel the urge to get more coins, although the gold is pointless.

Otherwise, surprisingly I have no other addiction rather than getting coin.

Wait, decorating your house? They didn't finally fix the "Right in here, my darling. Like I promised, I'll show you my Dragon claw key collection. Heh, you know, it took me almost an entire day to arrange all of thes- *opens door, claw flies towards the door at warp speed, and gouges out your eyes*." did they?

I just can't help Fus-ing, or even Fus Ro-ing, the dead bodies of my enemies if they gave me a hard time. Unless it's Falmer or Briarheart corpses, when it's time for Wall of Flames. Burn. And I have to smith my own jewelry before I enchant it, for no good reason, it's just in the unwritten rules.

I've started collecting books for my house in Markarth. I also search every chest/urn and loot bodies for any coins I can, including the individual coins on the ground.

Haha, yeah I have that problem. Those claws just don't stay put. Everything else usually does though.

Making my hammer meet people's faces is my addiction, similar to how a kleptomaniac is addicted to stealing. I can't help myself.

I pick up the arrows, and take all weapons from bodies, then load them back on. Not as a compulsion, just to ameliorate save game bloating. And to avoid the fact that if you leave a sword on the ground long enough, it is quite likely to be floating at waist height next time you pass through.

I can't leave 3 gold or a lockpick alone.

I also can't stop picking up ingredients from fallen enemies.

You should drop the coins in the middle of a hustling down, and watch everyone fight over it .

Collecting wine, nord mead and ale. I'll usually drink some after a battle or give one or two bottles to anyone who asks at the taverns.

Collecting books to the point where i have to drop many from too much weight and running out of strength enhancing potions.

Collecting skulls. Not an addiction yet but i can sense the fetish gnawing at me and growing.

Kneeling before shrines and leaving something behind in tribute after recieving a blessing.

Giving money to any beggers i come across. I actually wish i could give at least fifty to a hundred gold coins at times ha ha.

Listening to an npcs entire conversation even if i pressed on the same reply choice already. It just seems too rude to interrupt the npcs while they're talking.

Eating at least three times a day even if it means grabbing some plant life in the wilderness.

Not collecting Nirn plants eventhough i reflexively reach out for them out of habit from my Oblivion game playing days. Its like stripping the land of its musical voice which aint good especially in the vocal land of the Nords.

Not killing most wildlife because they're alive preferring to get my food from inns, dungeons, bandit camps etc. Its always a downer seeing a dead bunny or other lifeless small animal on the roads.

There's no way in Talos' good green Nirn that I'm enchanting someone else's jewels. Nope, ain't gonna happen.

Following people in Skyrim is my little addiction. I want to see where they go and what they do.

Collecting troll skulls.
I collect gems but havent done anything with them yet. I want to just put them in baskets but it takes forever dropping them one by one.
