crippledorphan Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 In the time before skyrims release , I remember Todd Howard talking about random npc will duel you. Like if your a Mage a random npc Mage will duel you to a battle. My question is had this ever happened to any one? Or has it been cut from the final version?

LHammonds Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have been challenged to a duel twice now. 1st time was with somebody wanting to fist fight. The 2nd time was with a lightning strike mage...but it was glitched. He was jumping all over the place and there were several people around in close quarters. I fired off one attack and hit a random NPC, which then got a guard involved and asked to pay a fine...the whole time the mage was jumping all over the place sending lightning strikes every which way. When done with the guard, the challenger was nowhere to be found and it left an unfinished quest in my Misc category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3158906User Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Huh really? Where at? I haven't encountered this yet. Cool though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozzer22 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Huh really? Where at? I haven't encountered this yet. Cool though! I believe you can bar fight in Whiterun, you can bet 250 gold against a woman in iron armour and if you win the fight you get 500 gold and she becomes your companion.

LHammonds Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Huh really? Where at? I haven't encountered this yet. Cool though!It is probably random and won't be the same for everyone but I remember the location of the 2nd one very well. When I walked up to the inn (guess it was an inn...I never went in), a guy on the porch walked up to me and issued the challenge. It was quite random and I wasn't looking to fight anyone (and should not have had a bad rep) I cannot remember the name of the town off the top of my head. I do recall an NPC that added a Misc quest to obtain fire or frost salts...can't remember which. I'll edit this post later with the name once I find a map. EDIT: Town was Kynesgrove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handofbane Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have not had any duel challenges issued to me yet, though I have had all kinds of random encounters out in the wilds or near towns:1 - a frightened woman who escaped from a bandit stronghold, asked for directions to town, then told me where to find the bandits at2 - a group of Thalmor (one mage, two justiciar) that were rude and pretty much tried their best to get me to piss them off to start a fight3 - random NPCs on the road (nord, orc, mercenary) who were on their way from one place to another that each offered a speech challenge before trying to kill me - note I am not sure if it was because of the speech choice or they would be hostile anyways4 - an old orc who reminded me of the one in Morrowind with Umbra, though he just had basic armor/weapons, nothing special @LHammonds - sounds like Kynesgrove, the inn south of Windhelm.

LHammonds Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 @LHammonds - sounds like Kynesgrove, the inn south of Windhelm.Ah ha! Yes, that is the location. There was no mistake, it was an outright challenge / duel. You'll know when you come across one. They approach you, engage in dialog to the effect that they challenge you to a duel and you have to accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisnpuppy Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I had my first one last night. You pretty much can't avoid it so if you are like me...and RP and wear non-armor in the towns then you get caught unaware! However as I was the Arch-Mage I managed! *smirk* Edit: Oh and it appears that there are other, not so random things that happen. *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
