In Skyrim, there is a console command to set ownership, but I am unsure to what exactly it does. I know it makes it yours (or someone else's) but I don't know what the ramifications are. Can I set the ownership of a random container ... make it mine thus making it not respawn or is the respawn timer an internal condition regardless of ownership?
This question is addressed to people with experience with the Construction Kit (Oblivion or Fallout 3).
