You guys are missing the point. What's more disturbing is going into a barrow from the first era, and discovering imperial weapons or other anachronisms. Not to mention every gold coin you find having an image of the emperor on it.
Not to mention the fact that every torch and candle is still lit.
what about all those carrots, potatos, cabages and tomatos in all that barrels?
and all of them fresh and new like just riped.
maybe drougs are vegeterians?

They use them for protein shakes.

Because as you are becoming a jeweler, the draugr are training.

rofling so hard at the "possible explanation as to why skyrim has strange non reasonable stuff laying around"
the solution is simple:
before you pass in a dungeon a bethesda employ *tm* checks your level, then enters the dungeon first leaving stuff for you to find and killing the most difficult monsters for you.
in the meantime, he also takes lunch and snacks, and sometimes, he leaves them for you around.

that's the reason!.

Maybe draugr keep the lights lit so they don't bump into things when they wake up to grab a mid-death snack? I mean, if one knocks something off a table while its stumbling about, it'll clang when it hits the floor and wake everyone in the room... some folks are trying to stay dead here for crying out loud!

I think the Draugr are just scared of the dark, so when they were interred they all went "Please Mr Necromancer, leave the lights on!" untill he gave in and magicked them.

Flailing people to death with empty socks, though, that takes a lot of effort. Less so if the sock's made out of something interesting, but generally quite difficult.

They aren't abandoned at all. The draugr have been redeeming the crimes they committed in their life by opening up their ancient burial grounds as a museum of first era artifacts, for a small fee, which they store in their urns. Just you're the only asshole who won't pay the fee.

A day in the life of a Guard in Skyrim:
 
"I need to ask you to stop. That...shouting...is making people nervous.
 Wait... I know you,
 The guards have been talking about you..
 You're the one who kill all those Thalmor? You sure know how to pick your enemies..
 By the gods, I dont know what to say.
 I wonder how the Thalmor are feeling now that they've been taken down a notch.
 You have vanquished a great evil from skyrim, You saved us all and our very souls.
 I mean, The gods gave you two hands, and you use them both for your weapon. I can respect that.
 I can handle the occasional drunk or bandit. I don't know about elves.. or dragons.
 But if those Whiterun guards can take down a dragon, so can we.
We got a nickname for anyone who trifles with us guards here in Windhelm - Suicide.
 Imagine... blowing up an entire town,
 Damn dragons could swoop down at any time..
 Watch the skies, traveller.
 
Woah, woah, woah!
 You couldn't possibly be the Dragonborn of legend, could you?
 I have a lot of respect for the Dovahkiin.
 You wear the garb of a true nord hero, I salute you.
 Got to thinkin'.. maybe I'm the Dovahkiin, and I Just don't know it yet.
 My cousin is out fighting dragons, and what do I get? Guard duty.
 I mostly deal with petty thievery and drunken brawls. Been too long since we've had a good bandit raid.
 Although I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.
 Now I'd be a lot warmer and a lot happier with a belly full of mead...
 


Psst...I know who you -really- are. Hail Sithis."

Hm, nicely done man.

Though I would be interested in what you can do with the Sweetroll line.

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.

There should be a guard quote when he's about to die: "just... three days... before retirement. *lastbreath*"

Tytanis's Ultimate Mod is getting bigger and better with each update. He has recently joined forces with the two other modders trying to make Skyrim Multiplayer so who knows how soon we will be able to adventure together side by side in the lands of Skyrim...

I have been fiddling around with increasing my speed while Livestreaming and have been thinking that I should start one soon.
Anyone interested in seeing me Carve my way across Skyrim, Heck I will even let the Community design my Character and his goals. Give me limits such as No Pickpocketing (Though I will find that hard considering I stick my hand into everyones pockets in all my games)...

Who would like to see something like that???

I decided that the best way to keep the difficulty ramped up was to take all the even levels in purely smithing, without actually upgrading my armor. Makes sneaking around cutting throats much more rewarding when a single screwup means getting pounded into bloody paste by a bunch of overleveled bandits, rather than just standing up and getting some experience for 1H rather than Sneak.  :D

I finally got Skyrim. Joy, my PS3 is running it smooth like butter!

But that butter is being shown on a small 480p TV, ruining my experience. Those words; they are too damn small! And why is my PS3's screen resolution not conforming to my TV's!? I cant see the health bar or anything else that is down there!

Oh well. The game is great so far; havent encountered anything but a single crash in quite a few hours of playing. AI pathing is still stupid, but it is to be expected. Unrelenting Force is hilarious, and I love how things dont feel randomly generated.

Moving across the world is slow... I'm at the part where
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
, but I gave the game a rest for now. Walking places by foot is slow, paying for a horse is slower, and my carnal need to never take the roads and spam jump on mountains is making it EVEN SLOWER.

Oh, how I missed you Bethesda.
