Key Takeaways
- Skyrim players create their own fun by hoarding items and creating junk mountains in the game.
- A player collected a mountain of junk in Dragonsreach, covering the staircase and challenging the game’s limits.
A dedicated Skyrim player online is creating a strange mountain of junk in Dragonsreach. The player has collected tons of in-game items in Skyrim, before dumping them at Jarl Balgruuf’s throne to bring their junk mountain idea to life.
At this point, there’s pretty much no stone unturned in Skyrim. It has been 13 years since the game’s initial release, and gamers have played it to the point where, for many, there’s very content left to explore. However, these players still want to play Skyrim, so they create their own fun in the game. This manifests itself in various ways. Evidently, some players choose to hoard items and create junk mountains. Other players complete entire playthroughs with a limited ruleset, like the Skyrim player who beat the game roleplaying as a Sith Lord. With a creative community like this, Skyrim doesn’t need fresh content to keep players entertained.

Skyrim Player Shares Stunning Painting of a Mammoth and Dragon Battle
A Skyrim fan shares a fond memory of a battle between a dragon and a mammoth and puts their depiction of the struggle onto an acrylic painting.
Redditor Soupisflannel shared images of their junk pile in Skyrim‘s Dragonsreach, and frankly, it’s absurdly hilarious. The staircase leading up to Jarl Balgruuf’s throne is completely covered in random junk, and it seems like anything and everything that Soupisflannel could find across their Skyrim adventure has been dropped here. Perhaps the highlight is the image of Lydia totally side-eyeing the player while they admire their random collection.
Skyrim Junk Mountain Collected in Dragonsreach
Although it seems their frame rate is okay for the moment, Bethesda games are famously temperamental when it comes to having too many loose props in one area. It would be hilarious to see what happens whenever they enter Dragonsreach, as no doubt some items will go flying across the room. It was pointed out in the thread that one use of the Skyrim Shout, Fus-Ro-Dah, could make their FPS absolutely tank, and possibly even crash the game. When asked about using the Shout and seeing what happens, Soupisflannel confirmed that it’s “probably going to be my next post.”
This is the kind of thing that occurs when players are left to wait 13 years (and counting) for a sequel to a beloved game. Gamers want more Elder Scrolls, and in the absence of the sixth installment, nothing quite captures the magic like Skyrim. News on The Elder Scrolls 6 has been pretty sparse over the years, despite being confirmed back in 2018. Hopefully, with Starfield out the way, the studio will soon be ready to speak more about the sequel. Earlier this year, a Bethesda developer accidentally hinted at The Elder Scrolls 6‘s setting, but even that remains a rumor at this point.
