In my holy opinion, I'm finding some similarities between certain developers at Bethesda and a certain race of large, hairy, less intelligent humanoids that tend to reside under bridges and get outsmarted by 3 goats.

I can conclude this, because there can be no other reason to make the "store item" key the same as "take everything" key to containers than to annoy the heck out of any player who've been dungeoning for 2 hours straight, and might not exactly have their brain with them when storing their loot in their house.

You don't want to know how often I used to curse because of this...

I agree, this is really annoying. I once did this and ended up with 1000/300 overencumbered

Whatever you do, don't blame this on the consolification of the series, or some xbox owner will call you a pc elitist!

I agree with the OP. It is silly that I need to do a quick save first before opening a chest at home. But I am doing that to avoid cleaning up the earlier mentioned 1000/300 problem.

Hah, this happens to me all the time too!!

I tend to save just before opening containers with large numbers of items in them because of this. I think the design was made by the same person or persons that decided not to let you buy items back for the same price you accidentally sold to a vendor because the highlighted item jumped to the the item above it just before you clicked "sell".

anyone dumb enuf to overencumber without cause deserves their fate.

USED TO, HOW DID YOU FIX IT

only 1000?, ive ended up with like 3k before, and it took like 10 min to put it all back,

Like Farlington said, its a good idea to save when using containers!!

There is a number of little things like this that bug me. Like why there isn't the sorting options for containers anymore and what happened to that very nice confirmation screen where you could see all the stuff you were buying or selling with a vendor before purchasing/buying (I know, it was in FO but the concept is genius). And why is there the option to eat things when in a container anyways? Also, why have a button for unlocking shouts? Why not just have the game ask you if you want to unlock the shout the first time you try and equip it?

This may also cause you to accidentally eat your only daedra heart... doh!

absolutely, completely, tremendously agree, lol!

edit: they take away the merchant option but add in a needless shout part? lol.

I didn't actually fix it, just deinstalled Skyrim. Not for that reason tough

The ultimate bug fixer.

Is this only a problem on PC? I'm on ps3 and this doesn't affect me. Maybe it's the damn "consolisation" of the PC game, lol.
