Unless you have certain mods, they don't. There's a limit on how much stuff they'll take from "Let's exchange items," but if you drop loot on the ground and tell them to pick it up, they can carry an unlimited amount of stuff that way.

Ah, ok. Not using companions right now tho, for whatever reason.

Easier to just modav the carryweight.

BTW, I remember there was a plugin for Oblivion that allowed you to convert Daedric to "Ebony +1", Glass to "Mithril +2" and so on. Basically a model swap. Anyone knows if there's something like that for Skyrim?

There is an easy way, though exploity: find a corpse near the dungeon entrance, stash all the items in it, animate corpse and fast travel to town. The corpse will follow and turn to ash, containing the loot.

My mod isn't being made anymore. I went back to Oblivion and playing ESO, both far better than Skyrim. In my opinion that is.

Bethesda keeps dumbing their games down more and more. Skyrim dungeons suck like hell...almost linear hallways. Morrowind and Oblivion had huge epic dungeons. And they remove features each game. And i did main story and it sucked. Oblivion I've modded to have all Skyrim features anyway. And modded oblivion is vastly more fun than modded Skyrim.

The next ES game probably be more linear and dumbed down.

ESO has been great too. Some addons for immersion, and been really enjoying it. Great community too. Except ad faction is horrid. Other two are great.

Skyrim seems more moddable, though. No arbitrary limits on spell effects, perhaps even more parameters outside the hardcode than Fallout NV. Skyrim mods can recreate levitate without having to use "tcl" anywhere in the script. The closest thing to that I've seen in Oblivion is the one that constantly spawns and despawns invisible blocks beneath your feet.

Oblivion dungeons? Epic? I'm sorry, but that was one of the biggest complaints against the game. They were often barren caves, repeated many times. Probably because it was all made by one person and I bet it got quite dull after a while.

I do miss the spellcasting system (not enchanting or spellmaking though, morrowind was better on that regard) of Oblivion. It was easily the best in the series, since you could cast while holding any weapon, rather than shifting away from them every time.

Weren't most of the dungeons randomly generated by the computer if they didn't have to do with the major questines from assets for the major questlines?

I have to admit that, in my opinion, they were slightly better than Daggerfall's.  My experience in that game was either: I could not find my way out of the starting dungeon (once found a climbing section and a bear.  Could not find either of them again when I had to reload), or I could not could not find the entrance to dungeons I was given quests for.

How to dungeon in Daggerfall: pick a wall and follow it to the bitter end. I think there was a search function on the world map when it came to finding locations.

If you tried walking to a dungeon, it would take forever; the world map of daggerfall was 161,600 square kilometers. Entrances were sprites on the landscape, so they were pretty easy to miss.

Oblivion may be generated.

But, Skyrim ones are so linear. Only a few exceptions..
But most caves and dungeons looked really similar anyway...with more linear paths.

Oblivion dungeons at least are more open and can get lost in them. Skyrim ones are like hallways...or a call of duty experience. I'd rather generated if that is their idea of custom made. Besides, like I said, nearly every cave and fort looked almost cloned. Probably generated themselves.

I like oblivion ones better. Same thing, but big and open. Morrowind had even bigger, more epic ones. Never played past ones.

Each next game makes smaller, more linear dungeons that go into more simple cut down gameplay.
