Even after ten years, Skyrim fans are still coming up with new ideas. For example, how to drag way too much stuff through the game world – in an immersive way.
Sometimes the solution is just so obvious: A Skyrim player has found an unusual and yet quite logical way to drag along his overloaded inventory without resorting to cheats or leveling up the corresponding spell. It can also be done much more immersively – u/CarrBock simply pushes a cart full of items in front of him.

What seems utterly banal at first glance is actually a high-risk endeavour. Because thanks to the, ahem, special physics of the role-playing game, the cart could blow up at any time. In the truest sense.
Flying carts and head bags
Skyrim’s carts can’t actually be pulled by players, instead the dragon blood has to keep running into them to push them along. And a gentle collision can be enough to turn a stone into a massive spring, catapulting the vehicle straight to Sovngarde.
Recently, one of the developers explained how little things in Skyrim can completely escalate. For example, seemingly harmless bees that almost destroyed the famous intro.
In the comments below the video, other Skyrim heroes share their very own methods of dealing with the annoying overload. A selection:
- The classic: Appoint Lydia as pack mule.
- For the rich (or horse thieves) : Get on a horse and let the nag do the work.
- For Morbid : Decapitate a bandit, shove his own burdens into his inventory and take his head like a carry bag. Passionate hunters use rabbits instead.
Yet others feel inspired to start a whole new playthrough as a “Wagonborn” and wander the world with a cart like a medieval craftsman. Skyrim can always be rediscovered, even though it now has over ten years under its belt. We talked about it with the developers.
By the way: In Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall you could actually still buy a functioning cart! That’s not the only reason it’s still a fantastic role-playing game in 2021.
