i'm a pixel farmer; i can't stand for there to be one dark spot on the map i haven't checked out.
i'm a freaking pack rat. i can't stand to sell anything i might even remotely need someday. no matter how many vendors i find i'm always on the ragged edge of overencumberance because i can't get rid of anything.
that includes any book, manuscript, or ragged document in the game. i have in my inventory (my *mage* low strenght inventory) every written item encountered so far in the game.
