You'll never guess how long this took

Methinks I Spy another Skyrim nerd

You are talking to the harbinger of the companions, sir. Show some respect.

And the archmage of the college of winterhold.

And the slayer of alduin.

Oh wait. I almost forgot that I killed mirak that one time. Can't forget that.

And the thane of whiterun. That one's not as cool though.

I'm also the Thane of each hold, the champion of at least half of the Deadric lords, a Leggate in the Imperial Legion, and a proud father of two ON TOP of all of that stuff. Try me, kid.

Also, your vibes are rancid. To the soul cairn with you. (Ri-va-zhol)

How many dragon bones do you have? I guarantee not more than me.

Yes, I do have a wife. And I have 250 just chilling in my chest. Dragon Scales, too.

How many dragons did you kill?

Uh... I'm not sure. Enough to max out most of the Shouts and still have 17 unused souls

Guess how many I killed.

?

You think I got 125 bones from a single dragon

Not necessarily

Then again, I regularly see over 150 on dragons I kill. Probably because of my level. I never take them because I don't have enough inventory space to carry them.

I have learned how to clone things without mods, and in very large quantities as well.

There wasn't this many bones on the dragon when I killed it.

Fair enough. I'm tired and don't have enough will to live to focus on the minor details

Would you like to know my secret?

Yes?

My character was level 10 when I did this. How did I get the bones.

Probably just dumb luck. Bethesda games are chock full of it because of how they handle loot. Loot is scaled depending on where you get it from (i.e. chests, barrels, dragons, people, etc.) and what level you are. This leads to loot being in places where it would make NO SENSE to be, like Imperial armor in a Dwarven ruin. Mods like Morrowloot fix this to how Bethesda used to do it: gear is still scaled based off of your level, but it's in places where it would make sense to find it (like Stoarmcloak armor in a Stormcloak fort). It's probably a similar thing with the dragon bones: the game couldn't properly scale the amount of bones to your level. It was probably a stronger dragon like a Blood Dragon judging by the amount.

O n e.

One?

Not even going to question the fact that each dragon gives like 3 bones?

Nah

My dragons apparently are bony animals

I killed a singular dragon to get these bones.

I also sold a ton

I had over a thousand before

I also used my bones to craft Dragon Bone armor and weapons

Fair enough

Do you have a wife as well?

He’s gonna get someone to pick a bone with

Several, actually
