Being a die-hard RPGer I play characters at all levels.

Since the IC patch fix (not the IC itself, but the next patch) I've been having non-random RNG-ness.

My characters in the Wailing prison are finding a ridiculous number of belts/sashes and gloves/gauntles. Earlier today I killed a dremora in the Wailing Prison, got homespun gloves as a drop, then opened an urn and got both iron gauntles and homespun gloves. I mean talk about in my face.

I've noticed this in other places - just now I was playing in the first zone in EP and found 2 luminous (well they aren't luminous in this game, but that's a rant for another time) russola in a cave. At first I thought how nice - 'cause it made me think of how in Morrowind the plants were more appropriate for the area - you had to go to particular places to find certain things.

But then when the next 3 resources were ALSO the same thing, and no ore (which I usually do find somewhere in a mine) I started to realize here was the non-RNG RNG again.

What the heck is going on?

Is it just me?

I'm hoping for 10 kuta's in a row......
Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    The fact that you came in with really small trivial sample sizes and make conclusions out of it, makes this thread attract the RNGjeezus crowd. It is RNG. Now come back and let us know if you only get luminous russila (sp?) ALL the time and nothing else. Sorry to break it to you but you don't have a strong basis for argument here :).

    Just to add, my RNG is fine (except for trophy vaults)

    I'm aware that one person's experience and only a few hours is not any kind of sample - but it was so qualitatively different than previous, that I thought I would seek additional information.

    Sounds like things are not seeming weird to you then...
