✭✭✭✭✭The real question is, why are people in Tamriel keeping their food in closets?
Isn't it a bit strange to keep your fish next to your undies?

You had to buy lockpicks from yer man at the Cornerclub.
Gut alt tags.
Lockpicks? Nah, man of culture used spells. You didn't regain magicka when you cast the spell yourself but enchanted items could have usable spells on them and they recharged by themselves over time. So basically you could open things for free.Edited by Michae on May 29, 2019 6:35AM"I bear the cruel weight of certainty. Total, absolute, relentless certainty.

✭✭Finding weird *** in urns and chests in an Elder Scrolls dungeon is a time honoured tradition and a staple of the series. Lit torch in the bottom of underwater chests anyone?4 -

✭✭✭✭✭You wonder travellers why you find fresh food and recipes and the like in tombs yes?
Simply they are offerings from the living to the dead. Things we think they may need where they are now.
If you were to taste an apple in a tomb you would find it with the usual mortal substance and texture but without any taste. The soul of the apple, so to speak, has been taken by the ancestors and they have left behind only the earthly remains.
Be nice to your ancestors travellers. Someday you will have to spend an eternity with them …

Mygalomorpea✭✭✭I gave up on logic from loot after 2 weird instances.
1- kill mudcrab, get 2h axe
2- open a small jewelry box, get a solid steel heavy chest piece.
How? How do those items fit in or on the things that had them without being the main object instead? Crack open a crab and pull out Excalibur from a mythic void? Wormholes in jewelry boxes?
And... Let's just pretend I never got a staff from a Jute node (was purple set item with a good trait as well)... Think the last might have been an actual bug...2 -

They don't store lockpicks in urns, that's just how the people of Tamriel reincarnate. Into inanimate objects.
They're not storing lockpicks in urns, ashes and lockpicks are what's left of a thief.I was wondering why people of Tamriel are storing lockpicks in urns.
Now that is strange. Maybe they put fire-protection spell on precious family recipe they pass down for generations.Or Recipes
I mean, don't they think its a bit strange to use a bottle of Lorkhan's tears that just laid for years (or hundreds of years in some delves/duns) with the ashes of a dead
Also disturbing is that merchants will pay gold for the ashes.
And the merchants pay for ashes cause ashes mean they haven't reincarnated yet, so the ashes might become something valuable in a few months. Same with the gnawed bones.

✭✭✭✭✭I'm going to bring a bit of real world into this and I think it will answer most the questions. Still not sure why skeevers have boots.
A friends daughter when she was younger put his billfold in the VCR. She also stuck a partially eaten PBJ in there. He caught her about to flush his keys down the toilet.
The answer to why all these weird things end up in inappropriate containers and why we never see any children is simple. The children while playing hide and seek (we know from past games they like playing hide and seek) get bored and just put things in whatever container happens to be around. They are even better at hide and seek than big foot so we never see them.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."1 -

Why ESO needs a monthly subscription
When an MMO is designed around a revenue model rather than around fun, it doesn’t have a long-term future. ― Richard A. Bartle
Their idea of transparent, at least when it comes to communication, bears a striking resemblance to a block of coal. ― lordrichter
... in the balance of power between the accountants and marketing types against the artists, developers and those who generally want to build and run a good game then that balance needs to always be in favour of the latter - because the former will drag the game into the ground for every last bean they can squeeze out of it. ― Santie Claws8 -
KMarble✭✭✭✭✭I can (kind of) justify weapons, armor and jewelry dropping from enemies by thinking that the ate the poor person who tried to killed them before I came along.
The thing that really puzzles me is why people would keep chamber pots in their desks and pockets. Another confusing one is that I've gotten lockpicks from almost all kinds of people but not from outlaws.0 -

✭The real urns are buried underground.
The urns arbove (each engraved with the word "urn" so that the tumbest gravegrobber gets the memo) are purely to distract the immortal graverobbers, a phenomenon that floods Tamriel every few hundred years.
Even the ashes found in those upper urns are fake, designed by a little specialised firm in Balmora. They have a running deal with the guild of NPC traders, that buy those ashes and recycle them with the help of a consortium of Telvanni mages - they regularly refill those urns for a monthly fee in times of infestation.PC/EU2 -

I always thought those came from thieves who got executed and cremated without ever getting a chance to use that one lockpick they had hidden... uhm... in... their person before their capture...I was wondering why people of Tamriel are storing lockpicks in urns.
...
That bad joke being made, the serious answer is prolly...
...that one.Laziness.
Yeah, it would have been sooo nifty to have lots of loot tables that make -sense-. No fresh cooking ingredients in ancient ruins! No lockpicks in everyones nightstand! urns full of ash and maybe the occasional bit of metal or bone to use as style material. On the other hand, a far greater chance to get recipes from kitchen cabinets, and clothing from wardrobes...0 -

Roboplus✭✭✭You've unlocked a tomb that has been sealed for centuries. As you creep down the corridor you spot an urn. You pry open the lid, your imagination running wild as to what mysterious artifacts you will find.... "Ah cool, a 6 hundred year apple, I'll eat that!"
No you won't. You'll stick it in your bag next to your other 600 year old apples and forget about it.4
