20 Problems Only Skyrim Fans Will Understand

12. Having More Gold Then You€™ll Ever Need, Yet Still Scouring Every Urn For 3 Coins Which May Or May Not Be There

It€™s physically impossible to resist running past a selection of urns without looting: even if they€™re empty, we simply can€™t help ourselves. The same goes for pretty much anything we can pick up - we'll break our necks before we dart past a wildflower patch without grabbing 'em. The only exception is wooden bowls - which you'll pick up EVERY TIME without intending to.

11. Going On A Killing Spree And Accidentally Saving The Game

"Wait! I know you..." After a tough day at work, sometimes all you need is a murderous rampage on Skyrim to make it all better. Virtual massacres are the stress relief they don't tell you about at the doctors, and boy do they work... all up until the point you fumble onto that Save button rather than the Load. Hello, Prison.

10. When Your Horse Jumps Into Battle To Help You Fight€ And Dies

You can€™t help but feel a little attached to your first horse, so when your valiant steed jumps in to tackle an enemy - it can all become a little emotional. Not to mention that€™s 1000 in gold down the shoot. Then you acquire Shadowmere, and things get personal (that is, if he hasn't gone missing yet). Keep those damn arrows away from thy steed, bitches.

9. Realising Your Hoarding Obsession Is Getting Out Of Control

Skyrim hoarding is a debilitating disease. Piling as many inanimate objects as possible on the floor of your home and accumulating the entirety of your gems and gold ingots in the cellar: it can all get very Smaug-ish. It€™s when you start getting naked, oiling yourself up and writhing through it all though, that you need to start worrying. A word of advice: if you try stacking stuff immediately after dropping, it won€™t stay there the next time you load in, instead going right back to the position it was dropped (as you may have already annoyingly discovered) - so once you€™ve dropped something, leave, THEN return to the room and arrange them in your hoarder-esque fashion. Less lag, and easier stacking. Get going, you truly, truly outrageous person.
