My character picks up stuff i didn't pick up.

[Zaldun]

Randomly when i check my inventory i have arrows that i didn't pick up. It's kind off annoying. And it really doens't help when i try to use my bow and it automatically picks one of those random arrows that i didn't even pick up. Is there some sort of fix for it?

You are grabbing it, you just don't realize you did till you see it, arrows weights nothing so... why bother?

[Zaldun]

I know i'm not grabbing them...

Why in the world would i grab ancient nord arrows when i use auriel's bow and sunhallowed elven arrows?

When you're shot with arrows they can end up in your inventory. Welcome to Skyrim

[Peculiar_Shenanigans]

Those are arrows that others shot at you. For some reason it gets in your inventory. maybe they shoot those arrows in your backpack....

[Zaldun]

You'd think they would change that kind of stuff in the SE :P

[Zaldun]

So there is no fix for it? A way to stop the arrows from going to my inventory, (I know the obvious "don't get hit" but other then that?)

"maybe they shoot those arrows in your backpack"

It's not that, these are the arrows that you would see stuck into your character. That's how you are carrying them; sticking out of your arse or impaled through your arm etc.

Thou even if they are sticking out of my as* they still show up in my inventory :P (and get randomly used instead of my better ones)

That was dry humour though :) I know it's because of the thing you mentioned.
After a fight it's best to check in your inventory. If you have random arrows in it, it means you have them sticking in your knees and stuff. In 3rd person you actually see them and if you remove them from your inventory they get removed from your body. But i think after awhile they dissapear from your body anyway (but stay in your inventory). So it's best to check ones in awhile because you don't wanna end up like that guy and his arrow in the knee xD

If you get hit in the leg with an arrow, you grab it with your hand to pull it out. Now its in your your hand, ie, your picked it. Now drop it and its gone. Expecting the arrow to simply vanish?

Well answer this: Why the f*ck would you take an arrow you were hit by and put it in your inventory in the first place? A majority of players aren't that poor that they need every last arrow they can find.

Jesus man, it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ video game.

If an arrow is stuck in your arm, it's adding weight to you. You didn't "put it in your inventory", it's assumed to be part of it the same way the armor you are wearing and the sword you are holding are. They aren't in your "backpack" either but they need to be accounted for.

Thus the arrow should show up in your inventory so you can remove it from your arm and drop it on the ground.

Or if you are in a desperate situation, short on arrows; you could always fire it back at the attacker. I think it's a cool feature.

That is why you can find your own arrows in dead enemies bodies.
