The dungeons got old really fast. They are very repetitive, and I feel the need to open EVERY single urn. I stopped checking the urns, which made dungeons go by quicker, but still not very fun.

I. Can't. Stop. Opening. Urns.

2 gold
9 gold
3 gold

**checks inventory - 70k gold**

5 gold - and an amethyst! Jackpot!

Can't. Stop.

Urns?
Oh you mean those golden things which acts like containers?
I rarely open those as I do not find them very profitable.

Urns and burial containers - It's always minimal gold and the occasional low-level stone, which I must collect for (no reason at all).

At least they don't contain forks and the like anymore. That was a major gripe people had with Oblivion (and probably Morrowind.)

There should be consequences for looting the dead and/or desecrating their tomb with errant fireballs.

Orcish equipment: worse than dwarven in every way, but takes a higher level to make. What? I just wasted the resources on some orcish weapons.

Think of it as skilling up with those resources.

I'd rather skill up with one iron and one leather strip.

Urns are actually half decent. Sometimes you'll find a leveled version of a Restore potion, or some gems.

But, they'll be especially profitable if you finish a certain thing. If you finish it and start looting urns, expect gems flowing out of your ears.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

i loot every urns i can. thats because i dont trade/sell stuff so my Speech can remain as low as possible.
when you have this in mind every penny becomes valuable. i am 26lvl and i have barely 18k gold. and thats just because i used the house exploit to not pay for it lol.

I have to wonder what the developers thought here.  "Hey guys we have to put some stuff in these burial grounds.  How bout these huge burial urns?  But what to put in them?  Maybe nords just make absolutely giant pots, toss in 2 gold coins and call it a sufficient tribute to their dead?  Sounds good to me."

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

Obviously you're the only one who thinks to loot bodies. I presume the dead were cremated with a few baubles still on them, and their remains put in these urns.

Think- when you see a rotting, charred, naked corpse, and somehow extract from it three gold coins that couldn't be seen from the outside, was it really worth three gold coins? I hope you brought hand sanitizer.

Yes. Yes, it was.

In a world where there exists untold millions of these little magic weightless coins where you can't even go on a hike without finding a box, urn, barrel, or chest with a few inside - I don't think it's all that far fetched that a bear or horker wound up accidentally eating one.

Or maybe a giant smashed someone and caused the coins in his purse to become kinetic missiles, sticking into random animals across the realm.

That makes the most sense, one of those theories must be right.

I never picked up the one in Elenwen's solar. Does that mean if I picked any others up the quest would be uncompletable?
