Most Skyrim players love collecting things like Dragon Priest masks and armor sets, but this player has chosen to ignore all of that and collect bread instead. Bread can be found just about everywhere in Skyrim; inns, houses, campsites, forts, and even dungeons can be sources of what seems to be a staple food in the region. Eating a loaf of bread in-game will only restore a measly two points of health, and while this doesn't seem like much it can help the player survive long enough to get the last hit in a difficult fight.
Skyrim is a veritable sandbox that has endured in popularity for over a decade now; players are still finding new ways to play the game in 2023 thanks in no small part to the vibrant modding community. The game has also been known for glitching out, often with humorous consequences. Recently a player encountered a glitch that put the entire province of Skyrim underwater and giving the game a horror-like atmosphere, however the NPCs continued to go about their business as if nothing was amiss.
A Reddit user by the name of AlainasBoyfriend shared their bread collection online, asking other players what items they enjoy collecting. The bread collection consists of dozens of loaves, which is a fair amount; arguably much more than a player would pick up inadvertently during the course of normal play. It's a humble collection compared to that of another Skyrim player who collected an unfathomable amount of potions causing their game to destabilize, but it is an interesting collection nonetheless.
Skyrim players are a creative bunch with a seemingly endless capacity for finding new ways to enjoy the game. Imagining Skyrim as a noir detective show for example, complete with the ruminative narration of a hard-boiled Dragonborn detective. While some fans are critical of Bethesda's apparent unwillingness to let Skyrim go thanks to the company having re-released the game several times over the past decade, as of writing it still enjoys a consistent average of 20,000 players on Steam at any given time. This places it comfortably in the top 100 of over 50,000 games available on the platform.
Bethesda has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 6 is in development, but has given no indication of when players can expect it to arrive. With some players making new discoveries after thousands of hours in Skyrim, it's probably safe to say that the community is content with waiting a little longer. At the very least, this gives players more time to collect bread.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
