User blog comment:Raven Giordano/What do you collect in Skyrim?/@comment-5450493-20130520220830

I've spent too much time agonizing over which items I can drop in the wilderness so I can pick up a new sword and enough time buying junk from vendors so I can sell him the piles of things I collected over my travels that I take money and usually leave everything else.

I'm happy with my Skyforge weapons and armor and have a ridiculous amount of saved gold so I don't need to collect things to sell either. Why not just leave it for the next hapless adventurer to find?
