Even after 14 years, players are still discovering new things in the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. A trick solves a problem and enhances the gameplay experience.
What problem is this? In Skyrim, especially in the dungeons to explore, there is so much loot that players’ bags fill up quickly. When overloaded, the character can only walk at a slow speed and fast travel is not possible.
This puts players in a dilemma: on one hand, they don’t want to leave the valuable items they have fought for behind; on the other hand, the journey to the next merchant is too long to accomplish at the slow speed.
One of the most important creatures in Skyrim almost didn’t make it into the game due to an ugly concept:
Here’s how you can take all your loot without being overloaded
What trick is this? Reddit user PibardoAnashelinsta has found a solution to the problem. He posted in the subreddit r/skyrim that he discovered a trick to take all the loot without overloading himself.
This is how the trick works:
- Collect all the loot you want to take with you
- Find a corpse and fill its pockets with items that are overloading you
- Once you are no longer overloaded, revive the corpse with the summoning spell “Reanimate Corpse”
- The reanimated corpse will now follow you. Now you can fast travel to the next city or village.
- Your companion unfortunately will not survive and will just be a pile of ash upon arrival. That’s okay though, because in the pile of ash will be your loot that you can easily take out to use further.
How does the community react? The comments are filled with players who didn’t know the trick themselves and are excited:
- teaconnoisseur86 is excited (via reddit): “Finally… a real hack. Well done!”
- Artractive thanks for the trick (via reddit): “This is a genuine adventurer/life hack! Great find and thanks for sharing!”
- randyortonrko83 is surprised as a new player (via reddit): “I just started playing Skyrim two days ago and you’ve given me a tip. Thanks for that, buddy, I’ve heard from someone that summoning is a lifesaver, I didn’t know it worked this way.”
Skyrim is such a vast and complex game that even nearly 15 years after its release, players are still discovering or trying out new things.
