One of the best things about Bethesda’s games is the level of granularity in their inventory items—from tiny alchemical ingredients to pieces of meat, just about every tiny thing in the game can be carried and consumed.
Over at Kill Screen, Gus Mastrapa has taken us on a tour of the cuisine he’s enjoyed during the opening bits of Skyrim—from the start of the section that’s been shown off in many a preview, Gus chooses the road less traveled. Specifically, he chooses to track down as many edible things as possible, and catalog them.

In addition to “a monarch butterfly,” Gus’s quest led him to ingest plenty of other things including a torchbug, venison, uncooked potato and cabbage, some raw beef and chicken breast, and even a cooked salmon steak, among other things. I’m sure you’re wondering: did he eat any dragons? Well, sort of. He ate “a bee and a dragonfly.”
It’s a fun post, and a reminder of the incredible (almost ridiculous?) level of detail in the upcoming game. Okay time to go fry up this salmon I caught.
