Weird Things in Skyrim That You Think Only You Do

What are some weird things you do in Skyrim that you think only you do?

Me personally, I like to collect the souls of my enemies in Black Soul Gems and keep them in a chest in my house. I've never heard of anyone doing that.

I collect flowers, lots of flowers, particularly the "color here" mountain flower, and send them down the river after dragging a "worthy Opponent" from where ever I've fought them out side to said river and let them float....

I can't seem to do a simple run through of the quests. I have to explore every nook and cranny I come across or I don't feel like I'm playing the game. I've tried several times to just do a run through.. some ocd part of me won't let me.

Whenever I kill an "honorable" opponent such as the occasional warrior who picks a fight with you, I drag him/her off the road, cover them with their shield (if they have one), lay their weapon(s) beside them, and throw some flowers on them. I also brutally slaughter any legionnaire and justiciar I meet in my travels.

Heh, yes... Khajiit does something similar. With specific enemies, J'rahzir ensures to take their soul within such jewels of evil. These enemies have names. SPoken with J'rahzir. Perhaps Khajiit is a bitter foe, but J'rahzir feels only safe to combine the souls of such opponents within weapons and armor. Burning Ego and Cold Heart. Khajiit Daggers. Abhorrent Judgement. Khajiit Bow. Oppose Khajiit in life, serve Khajiit in death. Only fitting in the eyes of J'rahzir.

If I'm on an assassin character I hide bodies of the people I kill. I also avoid others while doing so, even though they won't think about it if the person is already dead. I also keep two sets of clothing. A set of combat gear (Dark Brotherhood Stuff, plus other good gear) and a set of normal clothes for when I'm not on a job.

I make scarless characters, then, after a specific "epic-like" battle, I enter the showracemenu and add scars to show my character has been through some crazy S**T.

I just can not make myself skip past a jar or urn without checking it for gold coins. My last character had over 99K gold, but I would still search desperately for every single coin I could find. I just don't think there will ever be a point where I stop doing this. I want to ... but I just can't.

lol, same. That satisfying pot-lid scraping sound, followed by the ultra-satisfyingclinky coin sound is just too tempting to pass up

As for me, instead of reading new spell tomes straight away, I go and find a nice place to sit in a tavern by the fire first.

I collect gemstones, and then promptly throw all the jewels I collected into a giant pile in my house ^.^ :ALL OF THE LOOTZ:

I occasionally "go mad" on one of my characters, strip down to my underwear and start blasting everything in sight with Wabbajack.

Only thing wierd that I do that others might not is talk back to all the NPCs in real life. I never just let one of their one-liners in passing go without some comment to my screen. Sometimes out loud, sometimes not... but I always respond somehow.

No, you are not the only to do that.

i always carry a full arsenal and i will not use a weapon that doesnt match the armor im wearing for instance i would never sully the palms of dwarven armor with an ebony sword also if a weapon looks like it would be inneffective i wont use it for instance i hate ebony swords why you ask? because it seems there is only 4 inches of usable blade.

Surely, it's not OCD.

This one likes to sneak up on snow foxes and wait for invisibilty to ware off, funny to see such a small creature jump so high with fright as Jo'Nyan appears suddenly!

Use one of my two quick slots(xbox) for my helmet so I can take it off and on without entering a menu.

Yup I do that.

I have also taken to killing ever Skooma dealer that I come across.

I also make sure that I slaughter any bunny I come across as well :lol: (and take a screenshot of me proudly standing over my kill :lol: )

I think the weirdest thing I do is for just about every save, i arrange the screen so that the save screenshot got some kind of "theme" to it, IE I'd rear my horse on top of a hill so the camera angle shows a nice silhouette against the backlit sky, I'd move into position so that I get a nice shot of a spectacular scenery, and when on foot outdoor I mostly try to get my companion and horse in the picture. Don't ask me why.

I keep all my hoarded stash divided up in different categories. Weapons in a chest next to my bed, clothing and armour in a dresser, miscellaneous items in another dresser, jewelry in an end table, potions in a drawer in the kitchen.

I also compulsively pick up different ingredients I "think" i don't have too many of and store them all in my house, even though I rarely use Alchemy. I also save my game too often because I don't like doing tedious stuff like looting the same corpses and urns all over again if I die.

OCD, me? Nah.
