Funny Oblivion Incidents

[Sojiro]

I shoved the cupboards in a rather popular restaurant in the Imperial city with poisin apples. Then I put them on all of the tables and..... Well...... ^_^

 

I love doing that in guard quarters, too. Really, anywhere where there are lots of people eating.

 

Brilliant. I have to try that sometime. xD

 

I have another one:

 

I'm doing over the Fighter's Guild quests and I was on the one where Oreyn follows you to the Ayleid ruin (Atattar or Arpenia or something), and there's a trap in the center of the room. If any sort of body (alive or dead) is on it, the tile will rise up and smash into the spikes on the ceiling.

 

I ran straight across it (Speed 116, Athletics 100, had to roll forward at the last second), it smashes into the ceiling and I hear an "UGH!" from behind me--then Oreyn drops out of the sky.

 

He strikes up a small conversation with me, saying that our target isn't in this ruin, but there's another ruin that he would like to check out--so you have to follow him now.

 

Anyway, he turns around and walks away, but he walks so far that I'm out of his range, so the AI makes him stop for me to 'catch up'.

 

Little did he know that he was standing right on the trick tile.

 

*tiles rises*

 

*SMASH*

 

"Modryn Oreyn is unconscious"

 

*tile slowly comes back down*

 

*Oreyn's body starts jigglingjigglejigglejigglejigglejiggle*

 

*tile rise up again*

 

*SMASH*

Has anyone tried telling an essential NPC to "Wait here" in the middle of a gas trap?

Alright, I –finally- got to the end of this thread! Yes I read every post. Some of them are classic, others are just repeats (still funny though ^_^ ) but others I find not as rewarding. When you have a comical moment due to a mod you’ve installed, to me it defeats the purpose of it occurring, as it wouldn’t have happened naturally anyway. So having said that, here is the funniest (and by that I mean strangest) moment:

 

A few game days ago I had the corrupt watchman Audens Avidius imprisoned. Well now I’m in Bravil, just finishing a chat with the gender-confused city-swimmer, quick-saving and walking behind some hosues when lo and behold, here comes Audens Avidius, yelling like a madman. Well I figure the guards will come to my aid, seeing as how I hadn’t done anything wrong at that point. But one guard comes to me and starts wailing on me as if I’m a criminal! I run to another and I’m charged with a 500 septim fine. Wft?!? Well I had quicksaved before hand, so I shrugged and just played it out, seeing what would happen. I pay the fine and I’m teleported and everything is hunky-dory, but here comes Audens Avidius yet again, waiting outside the prison for me.

 

I expected that, but what I didn’t expect was a guard suddenly confronting me, saying I had a 40 septim fine on my head, and gave me the options again. At this time I knew this was a serious bug, so I loaded my quicksave and wiggled around a bit, knowing that as soon as I rounded ‘that particular house’, Audens Avidius would come for me again.

 

Well he was charging like a bat out of hell, but this time the city guard didn’t see me, just him. So he and a guard went at it. I then quicksaved again, and watched for a few moments, and decided now would be a good time to join in. I took a few steps closer and a guard came after me (a different one), wailing without even giving me the chance to ‘pay the fine’. I quickloaded again, and avoided that second guard – his patrol was in my hiding spot’s location, so I moved to another area. After the commotion, Audens Avidius was dead and I emerged from hiding.

No guard came to me and chatting with them just gave me the standard ‘rumors’ choice. I figured it was a bug with Audens Avidius, where if a guard sees him running after you, they assume you assaulted him (Hence the 40 septim fine). It was annoying, but afterwards, I got a very good laugh about it, as I figured, “hey I guess they are taking his word over mine, that “I’m” the criminal... *chuckles*.

Turns up that i killed the wood elf while on my spree. I searched her and found the diary. I then quickly ran back to my house to hide the diary. I went to jail and went back to my Watterfront home to get the diary. Turns out the male without a father Agronian took it and won. The B****h!!!!

 

:biggrin:

great story- thought it was poetic justice when you killed the wood elf.... but a nice twist in the end :)

I decided late in the game to actually complete the entry quest into the Dark Brotherhood on my (custom) SpellSword. However, I finally got around to it while doing all kinds of side quests. So, I decided to also aid the Female argonian in the Bravil Mages Guild with her slumbering sweetie. I put on the Dreaming necklace; hop onto a cot and enter the Dreamland -- and lo' and behold! Lucian Lachance woke me up in the Dreamworld and congratulated me on putting old Rufio out ofhis misery. With powers like that, it really shows that if someone pays the Night Mother enough; you aren't safe ANYWHERE. *ends with diabolical laughter*

Here's one.

 

My girlfriend plays Oblivion too, so we both made mods that add our characters as companions. (So she gets my character to travel around with her for her Oblivion, and vise-versa)

 

Now, she was doing Allies for Bruma, and went to do the Cheydinhal gate. You know, the one with the Count's son.

 

Anyways, she left me outside the gate so I wouldn't disappear. And she went in alone.

 

My character is a Dark Knight esque type of guy, so he's evil.

 

Anyways, she's inside the gate, sniping off daedra with her bow. (Which is heavily enchanted with frost damage, so are her arrows) And saving the son. When he gets in a fight with a Xivilai.

 

Now normally, this would be no problem, she would just shoot it. But another Xivilai blindsides her, knocks her bow out of her hand, and now she doesn't have a weapon but a Daedric Longsword. So she brings that out, and quickly dispatches the Xivilai.

 

So my girlfriend notices the son's health, about 2 more whacks from the Xivilai would kill him, and fears that running in with the sword would accidentally kill him. So she runs for her bow, looking at the ground trying to find it. And just when she finds it and is about to grab it, and armored hand picks it up.

 

Now, she groans at the computer because she thinks a Dremora got it. But it turns out that the person who picked up her bow was my character, he had apparently followed her into the gate, despite being told not to.

 

So what does he do then? In a Jack Sparrow heroic moment, he pulls out a quiver (most likely killed a Dremora and took the arrows), takes her bow, aims for a second, fires, and pierces the Xivilai in the chest, killing it before it kills the son.

 

Now at the computer, my girlfriend and I are in complete and utter shock at just what happened. So shocked, that we don't have time to react when the son runs forward with his sword drawn, and one of the guillotines runs down on him, finishing him off.

 

Such a dramatic, heroic, and out of character moment for my guy, wasted. =(

[Sojiro]

Hahha, Istari. I laughed at the 'Jack Sparrow heroic moment'.

 

But I would have buckled over laughing when Farwil died :P

 

I got a...kind of funny one.

 

Redid the 'Retaking Kvatch' quests. Savlian asks me to go find Berich Inian in the chapel to go get the key.

 

I rush back to the chapel, dive through the doors and VOILA. No Berich. I looked around EVERYWHERE, even in the undercroft. Finally, I took out my map and looked for the location of the quest arrow.

 

It's pointing to the Talos plaza district in the IMPERIAL CITY.

 

I make sure the right quest is active in the Journal. Yep, it is.

 

I fast travel there (with Martin close behind) and the arrow leads me to the TIBER SEPTIM HOTEL.

 

I enter and look around.

 

Berich was sitting behind the counter, chatting up that lady who's always there.

 

O-kay then...I talk to him and the usual topics come up (about Kvatch and such). He decides to lead me to the place we have to go.

 

Draws sword, dashes out the door, then out of the Talos plaza district. He then begins running slooowwllly across the bridge, intent on running all the way to Kvatch.

 

I didn't have the patience for this, so I sniped him with an arrow and grabbed the key--getting a bounty on my head in the process.

Yesterday I was playing around, doing random stuff and finding out for the first time what a Demoralize enchantment does. I've never used it before.

 

Anyway, I struck a guard in Leyawin with the demoralize enchanted sword and he starts running around screaming "Help! Please don't hurt me! Run!"

 

He runs out of the castle and unto the nearest street, making a straight shot for the nearest gate. I decide to give chase and just swing my sword randomly.

 

He reaches the gate (with me in pursuit) and finds his way blocked by two bow-wielding guards. The dude spins around and starts running in my direction screaming "Please don't hurt--ARGH!" *bloodsplatter*

 

I find a silver arrow sticking out the back of his head. The guard at the gate puts away his bow and turns to the other guard.

 

"Hello."

 

I have had many similar incidents to that.....

 

Well i think it had something to do with the main quest, but Mythic Dawn Assasins appeared randomly. There once was three against on guard. I watched him struggle against them. When he was done, i went over to him. "Hello" just like nothing happend

 

God bethesda needs AI improvement.....

[cazaam]

Yea thats tru. i was ontop of a builig up really high or something, when all off a sudden i hear, "the dawn is awaking" or sum crap like that, turn around to see a mythic dawn agent charging me on a large rooftop. longsword drawn, he makes a head-on bonzai charge for me. he does a massive power attack shooting forward, just as i nimbly sidestep. there he is in mid air, facing me sword in mid swing, about to plummet to his death. a comical sight in 3rd person. i go down to the ground, with guards and citizens crowding him saying "are you alright sir? sir? sir...? oh my god. this persons dead. then walk off.

 

another good one is i once rounded up all the guards from like 4 cities, wwith about 25-30 guards and other npcs chasing, making a final dash on the imperial city bridge. AWESOME!!! a massive charge against one warrior (wish i'd taken a screenshot). any ways we hear all this for the emperor crap and they run at me. i draw my bow take an enchanted arrow fire right in the middle of the mob an -BOOM!!!- they all go flying in all different directions of the bridge, into each other all sorts of crap. the trick, the arrows enchantment was fire damge 100 points 5s on 30ft. WICKED!!

Other then the random OOO spawns in the Tiber Septim Hotel? :P

 

I was taking a walk around Weynon Priory, and i walked through the Sheepfold Pen, and when i was walking out, i get a few feet down, when i realise i am being followed.. I turn around, and it turns out that a sheep is following me. I have no food in my hand, nor grapes, lol, but still he follows me. So i thought, hey, i can get a temporary companion.. We stroll down to a cave, and get attacked by goblins.. He gets attacked, fights back, and, unsurprisingly, dies. So i resurrect him after i kill the goblins, and once again, he follows me. Quite odd.

 

And another happened a few hours ago, It was around 3pm Oblivion time, and i have just finished the quest to retrieve Rockshatterer from Blafli or whatever his name is, And i run down to the farm to return the mace to Maeva the Buxom.. She isn't at home, so i begin to explore the farm looking for her.. I see something odd in the Bull-pen, so i open the door, and a several cows try to stampede out as if panicked, and after hopping around them, i see Maeva, dead. So i naturally, being a thief, loot her corpse and resurrect her with the code. Turns out she was killed by the bull.. Never saw an NPC get into combat with an animal before, domesticated, i mean..

 

It's always funny to hear the NPC's reactions to Thieves Arsenal arrows.. Scruggs really captured the NPC reactions from Thief 3.. (OT, slightly, but i love games like Thief.. I shot a noisemaker arrow off at the mansion when i was getting the opal, and this woman says 'OO! I wish so-and-so were here to hear this!! and when you smack someone with the blackjack.. 'Aww, that was the cutest little hit I've ever received'
