They let me in the mages guild library for free, so I picked up every single"free" book off the library shelf, no matter how common or valuable, then walked 10 feet over to a guy who watched me pick up those 200 books, and sold his dumb ass every last one… Profit? Yes. For me at least. Damn good thing I don’t have to worry about the in-game economy, though.

    I disagree. When you sell junk to a vendor for minimal gold, there is at least a vague feeling of fun and accomplishment. When using AI, the only feeling I get is hollowness. Plus, you can raise your Speech skill for better prices, which is self improvement, you don’t have to roll up a new character to improve.

      At least you weren’t me who never knew you could spin the claws around to see the proper order. I found that out AFTER I beat the game. I quite literally tried every combination on each one. (Granted obviously I would get most of them before having to go through all options)

      Who’s the streamer that failed Skyrim picking for hours and gave up? I have this vague memory of this complete failure of a person in a meme.

        Been a while since I have played it, so my memory is probably vague on these details, but I assume that would be possible if you were low level, trying to pick a high level lock. But then wouldn’t you also run out of lock picks? I’m wondering how many people watched a streamer fail lock picking for hours…

        I see games that look interesting these days, then they mention lock picking, and are instantly very uninteresting.

          I have enough “Skyrim skill” now that I can pick a Master level lock with a couple of picks.

          But now I just install the mod for the Unlock spell.

    Fractional reserve banking with the rich getting tax breaks making money off of debt. Never let it trickle down… circular financing then when it all lookss like it is nothing but bullshit entangle the nonsense via regulation to benefit and beg for a bail out. iT i$ a mAttUrd 0F nAti0nAL $eCuTuRdY.
