Video of the loot distance problem.

It is annoying that some barrels and bags have different loot ranges than others because it gives the illusion that some barrels are not lootable.
With some barrels, you have to smash your face right into the barrel for the barrel to even show it is lootable.
Nothing can take you out of a game faster, or break immersion faster, than a bad game mechanic.
In this video, I circle around 5 barrels. At one point I even back up a tiny bit to show I can loot one barrel at the end, but still the barrel on top does not show it is lootable.
Not until I get my face right in to the barrel does the barrel show it is lootable.

I don't think we should loot barrels from across the room, but is arms length too much to ask for? Or at minimum, the same length for all containers?

KriHavok✭✭✭✭I agree in that it can break immersion. But this could just be a singular barrel with a looting bug or the other barrels could be interfering with the range at which it can be looted. Regardless, I hope if this is indeed a bug, that it would get fixed.UESP Staffer & Wiki Editor0 -

Is that what you got out of my post?
Did you read the post or watch the video, or were you too much in a hurry to be the first troll post?4 -

I promise you it is not.
This happens all over now. If you want I can make a few more videos at different locations.0 -
Alvar✭✭✭It now is a pain in the crevasse sometimes... having to jump/bounce around to get to the right location to open a container feels a bit much. I don't think it needs to go back to the old distance, being able to open a container located in Eastmarch while you were in Bleakrock was a bit much...You can't sprint and use abilities at the same time.0 -
Erris✭✭✭Yes, it's bad enough having to micromanage my loot... I don't want to have to micromanage my looting. I like to just grab and go. Having to twirl around to find a spot to open a sack or cabinet is just tedious and annoying. Please put it back to the way it was.7 -

This.Opinions are like buttholes : Everybody has one, and they usually stink.
3 things to reduce stamina/magicka imbalance :
- Use magicka to block abilities costing magicka, instead of stamina.
- Add % damage reduction to heavy armor.
- Add block penetration to 2H.0 -

No, its pretty much every container. Things like chests, bags you have to almost stand on to open. Its disorientating and if any other player/thing is near the container its almost impossible !JollySkyrim wrote: »I agree in that it can break immersion.

✭✭Here's just another example. The box was right in front of me, but I had to go around and put my face on the box to open it.

lord_dal✭✭✭agree, after the patch my short bosmer have to jump/climb on stuff to loot wall mounted cabinets now, plus the barrel/crate issue1 -
Seravi✭✭✭✭✭My little wood elf has to find things to stand on to get items now and the barrel/crate issue is irritating.1 -
I've noticed the same thing, and it also carries over to players. Now I have to stack on top of bots to report them. Being 2 feet away makes it to where using F to pull up the options no longer works. Needless to say, that is the end of my bot reporting.0

Exactly. This change was so irritating.

Saerydoth✭✭✭✭I agree that the loot distance was too far before, but it's WAY too short now. There has to be a happy medium in here. There are some containers that are very difficult to loot now because of this.0
