LimeySAO Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I dont know if this has been asked, I have done a search on google and in the forums but cant seem to find anything related to this. So I am travelling between Whiterun and Ivarstead when a random body spawns behind me and slides past while going down hill. This has happened on several playthroughs and I was wondering if it is a bug or intentionaly quest related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasS Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It may have been a dead dueller. I often see an apprentice ice mage and an apprentice fire mage duke'in it out... you may have met the unfortunate loser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingenskirchen Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Happend to me with a Frost-Dragon. Really weird. First i saw a shadow and thought "Oh s***, something big incoming", than this Dragon-skeleton dumped down on my feet.I think it's still the strange Bethesda physics, means a bug.

LimeySAO Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 I dont think it is a duel because I dont even see the other mage at all, Im on a fourth playthrough now and the samething happens and traveling through the same area on my first playthrough it happened again. Maybe the game is bugged and spawns necromancers on this hill but in the air so they fall to thier death, very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordPerfect Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Why did the necromancer slide to his death? To get to the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing one day I was wondering about the Shearpoint when the dead blood dragon corpse suddenly fell from up top, slid down the mountain face and ended up not far from Northwatch. Entire time I'm like, "o.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesapien Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just yesterday, on restarting the same save, I may be in same area, too, same thing happens, except I'm already down hill on the river, every time I open save game, I hear a body drop then find the dead necromancer. I had the dragon dropping from the sky thing, too, but only when I had a certain mod installed. Maybe this is mod related, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is with that theory is I have watched youtube videos of other peoples playthroughs and the same thing happens to them even without mods. Probably just a buggy bethesda game, who would've guessed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just a buggy bethesda game, who would've guessed? Ah, but I've tested the theory on my other bugs. Uninstall mod, no more bug. Yes, there are still bugs in the vanilla, but I don't get why everyone and their grandmother now repeats the same line about Beth games always being buggy. For example, I remember playing Mass Effect 2 through a linear mission without exploration and still getting my character stuck in places, unable to move, and having to reload the game, yet no one went around saying how buggy it was. Maybe I've just been really unlucky with other games and really lucky with Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have played the first two mass effect games (cant wait for 3 :D) and they were buggy before patch I will give you that. Thing is after patches that took maybe a couple of months tops it was fixed. Thing that I have noticed about bethseda is that their initial releases are plauged with possibly game breaking bugs, then they patch it so that its playable and another minor bug appears. Dont get me wrong they end up playable but still with quite a few minor bugs. Star trek legacy, Fallout 3 and Skyrim in one form or another had issues that could ruin the game until its patched. I mean im really glad I didnt get Skyrim on the PS3 :P. Im not hating Bethseda either, I love their games for their sheer scale, in all likeyhood the massive size of their games is probably why bugs appear. I have come to the conclusion that the incident in my op is probably just a vanilla bug that is really minor and not an issue warrenting a patch just confused me a little a first :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
