arkis ONLINE (09/28/2015) [-] I always figured it was because the monsters ate adventurers or something, and the wild animals were just stupid and ate money

putinlover (09/29/2015) [-] Wasn't that in an rpg game? The narrator would say something like "One time, upon killing a wolf, an Entire treasure chest came out of his mouth!"

admiralen ONLINE (09/28/2015) [-] Fun fact, Parthuurnax once sent thugs out to beat my ass for stealing from the greybeards

milomcrobbie (09/29/2015) [-] I always loved that mechanic. I would always kill the old witch lady in the hut at the start of the game after taking herbs from her, and then later on get thugs sent after me by her. So silly

lordsepulchure (09/28/2015) [-] No it's because Robina the Hood is stealing gold from rich people which she then gives to creatures so that adventurers can live off of being adventurers.

cazabrow (09/29/2015) [-] had a "member" account that i got when i was like 8 years old. Now i don't even think i used the same email address that i do now so its gooone
I just remember doing the werewolf and frogzilla/Mother Frogzard storylines in order to get the curse/sword that shapeshifts you until you next log out and giving your normal attack 3 extra combos or just a massive damage increase.

They weren't members, they were "guardians". I would have been around the same age when I became one. I was so excited that I was waiting in the driveway for my dad to come home so that he could use his paypall to purchase it. It was twenty dollars which at the time seemed like a huge amount of money, I think my parents had me clean the whole house to pay for it. I didn't know it at the time but I was being taken for a ride.

Good times.

plazmaflare (09/29/2015) [-] Your dragon looks a little odd. Is there something other than just a toddler dragon now?
#110 to #60

lordsepulchure (09/29/2015) [-] Yeah you can pay 10k (or was it 20k?) gold to grow him, which changes his appearance a bit and allows you to have him with you as a guest and not only as a pet. Best guest in the game.

lordsepulchure (09/29/2015) [-] Yes. And if he hadn't been stopped he would have unmade the world, taking it back to
"the perfect darkness" that existed before the elements "polluted" it.
He isn't that big when you fight him though. Still huge though.

lordmaddie (09/28/2015) [-] Sometimes I wonder what'd be like to bring up my old character and see what's changed, but there's been so much stuff I'd probably never catch up with it all. I stopped playing soon after they indroduced that Tomix guy in DF. (Pic related, it him)

ablakguy (09/29/2015) [-] I quit not too long after the Soul Weaver storyline. Right when they had that floating dragon castle with all of the other dragonlords. Soul Weaver armor was the best since it looked cool as **** and it worked well with any element. Plus it made me feel like I was in an animango. lordsepulchure back me up on this Well, best after Doom Knight

lordsepulchure (09/29/2015) [-] **** yeah it's awesome. And now there is a Master Soulweaver class too.

I log on every 6 months or so and goof around for an hour or so, I remember as a kid I could never get anything done on that game, trying it now with half a brain, its just crazy easy I think i hit like 120 something with like 15m gold in the idk the 6 hours i've played in the past 3 years xD

lordmaddie (09/28/2015) [-] I spent 2 hours every Saturday on the computers at the library (didn't have a computer at home, and you were only allowed 2 hours per day) playing the week's content. I remember it seeming like the most epic thing ever.
Now I spend all my time playing WoW and I don't think I'd be able to go back ._.

lordofpotato (09/28/2015) [-]
I used to raid back in BC, Wrath, then Cata, pandas just killed it for me, got into swtor when it first came out and was a top raider for awhile in that then classes and work got in the way so now I just stick to steam games and the occasional Destiny raid with my buddies

Okay, if this was an oblivion reference I'd understand it, but the skyrim wildlife has no money drops in unmodded versions of the game, not even wolves do, they only drop pelts and meat.
#5 to #4

xardian (09/28/2015) [-]
Hah, they aint dropping dragons, dragons are enemys not items!
I get what you mean dragons do drop a lot of stuff, but that is really due to them "eating" people, you'll allways find them having armor and weapons, besides their natural drops.
Also, the content shows that the dragon bribes the deer...

Twithyiguess ONLINE (09/28/2015) [-] Aren't dragons supposed to be known for hoarding shiny objects like gold, in almost every old book?
#12 to #11
-
xardian (09/28/2015) [-]
Yup, they are - in their lairs - not in their damn bodies...
Inb4 dragon-kin "I eat gems" a lot of todays fantasy really changed a lot around and every dragon in every different fantasy world is different, the Skyrim dragons are not known for hoarding gold and shiny objects, that is not mentioned in any "cannonical" writings inside the world nor can you find a dragon hoarding gold anywhere in the game.

probablytruefacts (09/29/2015) [-]
How do you think the dragons get the gold and gems to their lairs? Teleport it? Open an emergency trap door that leads to their lair and deposits the gold automatically? Destroys a kingdom and calls their account to take care of their funds?
They scoop up a mouthful or handful, depending on the dragon
and carry it home.

pistachioofdoom (09/28/2015) [-] At least some games make you get other stuff from them (hides and stuff) and sell it for actual cash.

wolfiet (09/28/2015) [-] Log Horizon had a pretty good, albeit strange, take on it, where it was actually a massive whirlpool of all of the game's gold coming and going through it and distributing it to the souls of monsters

pistachioofdoom (09/29/2015) [-] You mean you don't turn magically into coins everything that you pick?
#119 to #118

pistachioofdoom (09/29/2015) [-] Dishonored.
Everything you steal (fuel bottles, exoctic feathers, art, whatever) is just added to your money instantly when you pick it.

They are spies, obviously. Why do you think they run when you approach them?
#101 to #92

sptnfouroneseven ONLINE (09/29/2015) [-] They do sometimes. I've found gold on Dragons, Wolves, Bears, a Sabercat a few times. Dragur for some reason... Lots of things have gold on them in Skyrim.
#107 to #101

heartlessrobot (09/29/2015) [-] Dragons like shiny things, animals eat people who have gold in their pockets, and Draugr are buried with gold as a tradition, like the greeks placing gold coins over the eyes of the diseased.
In fact, Draugr have the most reason to have gold on them.

egosumproxi ONLINE (09/29/2015) [-] Makes more sense that they have gold because they ate the last adventure that tried to kill them.

daemonicdemeanor ONLINE (09/29/2015) [-] **daemonicdemeanor used "*roll picture*"**
**daemonicdemeanor rolled image**I kinda just assumed that it was easier to transfer the worth of the products into gold than code in things like antlers or(well not in skyrim, because that game is almost too detailed) pelts, meat, etc... Like most RPG's back in the day would have rats give 2 or 3 gold, and I figured that would be what rat meat was worth or whatever. It became a cliche, and people would probably freak out if they killed a room full of rats and didn't get anything for it.

catburglarpenis (09/29/2015) [-] Simplified barter system. Skyrim players LOVE to spend HOURS gathering pelts to their weight limit, selling them for gold, then using gold to buy more **** . Take out the middle man and you have... money drops from common monsters.
Unfortunately, that doesn't keep most game developers from filling your ******* inventory with items anyways, invalidating the whole process and infuriating gamers who spend hours scrolling through menus especially if it's on a no-pause game or a ******* ACTIVE TIME BATTLE SYSTEM ****
