Wow, this thread really got out of hand.
Let's get back to the original topic now....
I definitely agree that these should have a color change. They don't bother me all that much because they are rare to find, but it was a bad choice and I can't understand why they would choose the same color when they have a whole spectrum to choose from.
I wish they hadn't put these in the game, unless you get the Thieves Guild DLC.
They're the same color glow as the Mages Guild lore books, so I wander over to one thinking I will advance my Mages Guild level, and find out I just wasted my time because it's just a damn thieves trove.
