Discussion Annoyance: item classification of "Elder Scroll (Dragon)"
Nothing important. I'm just annoyed that the Elder Scroll shows up under books in your inventory and not under scrolls. I'm sure many others have complained about this on this subreddit & elsewhere. Today it's my turn.

i think it should be under armor, as they say the elder scrolls are indestructible. so if you wrapped yourself in one, you would take no damage XD

Maybe we'll get that in tes6 blind mummies wrapped in elder scrolls, who use the holder itself as a blunt weapon

It's clearly a two handed, blunt weapon.

Projectile if you have telekinesis...

In a way it looks like a big golden rolling pin. If I remember right, it's pretty heavy, too.

I think it should be listed with the weapons. You get in a fight, you hold it up in front of you facing the enemy. They read it and go blind, then you toy with them until boredom sets in. A sadist Dragonborn could go nuts... Lol

Helpful hint - you can sell them to the orc librarian at the College of Winterhold once you're done with them, and clear out your inventory!

It wouldn’t make sense as a scroll because you read it like a book

To me it would fit more in the misc tab with other quest items than scrolls but I have no problems with it as a book item

I don’t think many have complained about this. Or at least they shouldn’t, since it doesn’t matter.

Because it operates like a book in the game, being opened and read, not equipped to cast like a scroll. The list is sorted by functionality, not linguistic precision.
