Flipout6 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I was fighting Morokei during the winterhold quest and on my first attempt to kill him I charged and smacked him around with a war axe. He was in front of my, but he cast a lightning bolt that killed me from BEHIND and sent my flying past him. This wasn't a rune either, it was a lightning bolt, because it didn't come from the ground, it looked like it shot out of the wall I was like WTF. I checked for traps and other enemy casters and found none. (tip for melee, use a ward to block his lightning attacks, then power attack him after he shoots one and smack him. Then take cover and repeat.) Before I knew that skyrim was a more unlevelled experience, i figured I'd take on the giants at level 5, they should be easy enough since they leveeld with me. when i hit the roof of the wprld, I knew I was wrong. One incapacitated Uthgerd the Unbroken when she was my companion. she flew up so fast that only a single frame captured her flying in the air, and then she disappeared and never seemed to land.

gsmanners Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Weirdest thing that ever happened in my game was that Noble on a horseback once tried riding his horse into the Sleeping Giant. So, there he was, stuck on the front porch on his horse. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I wish I had screencapped it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invertedpanda Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) On my previous build, I had assassinated a certain cat-like merchant. After giving him the proper insult ("I'm going to beat you like a common house cat!" - my favorite line in the entire game, even if there ARE no house cats in game), I proceeded to end his life. Then, I had decided.. "You know what? Chinese food sounds good right about now." So, I drug the corpse into his fellow merchant's fire. First, they proclaimed "Quit that!", but after a while, I guess they got used to it. I come back a day later to do some trading, and as I walk away from the camp with some gold in tow one cat gets up and says something to the effect of, "Oh my, what happened!" (Hey, they were the ones who were supposed to pull it out of the fire once it was done cooking, not my fault) Some other good moments of post-assassination dialog come from killing someone near a small kid's general AI path. Kids say the darndest things (and then ask me to play tag - Skyrim truly is a harsh mistress)! Edited February 2, 2012 by invertedpanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The only WTF moment I can think of is when I tried to shoot myself with my bow by firing straight up in the air. The arrows are scripted to fall downwards point-first, which can cause a really weird bouncing effect if you don't give them much power. Oh, and it doesn't work, by the way. You can't shoot yourself. :mad: :happy: now remember that everything like that arch's so it wont come straight down but will fall near by. nothing will do a 180* in a split second, but will curve and come down within i say 10-30feet away. also is it possible to aim something prefect 90* angle to where it would go exactly 100% straight up in the air + gravity and wind and etc affect it. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shylah47 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Mine was when I went to talk to the Graybeards and they asked why have you come here, after I had already told them I was answering their summons. Another one was when a Dragon attacked me from the air, then crash landed in front of me, he slid for bout a hundred feet before stopping. But the biggest one was with Lydia, we where in the woods near Riften when we came upon 3 bears. I was fairly low level then, so I started to back up, when I turned around I was looking at a Trolls belly. The fight was on, then out of the corner of my eye I saw Lydia pull out her bow and start shooting at the.....bears. After I killed the Troll, I turned around just in time to see Lidia drop to one knee and give-up. It was a nasty fight which took all my heal potions. I won with almost no health left, as I stood there sewing my ear back on Lydia says " I am your sword and your shield ". We then went to see the Graybeards, pretty close to the top, I used unrelenting force to give her a flying lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyran Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I learned that dremora are real demons, they can behead someone who is sleeping by hovering over said person! As if they were a mirrors reflection...and they can actually fly like a rocket, straight up but landing without modern equipment hurts like heaven :P Or a guard talking to a dragon! He just looked at the dragon and said something like "Be careful with that spell!" I really just sat there WTF? And the dragon seemed just as shocked not even attacking the guard. Or having a bounty when visiting a town for the first time, it just doesn't makes sense. "Hello, I'm new here. Could you tell me where I could stock up on arrows, please?" - "You're bounty is 25000 Gold, pay or die." - "What?" - "Then die!" O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babis8142 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Also the first time I went to Blackreach. The dwemer city. It was pretty epic. I spent 3 hours there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanusForbeare Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 as I stood there sewing my ear back on Lydia Well, that's not where it goes. :laugh: I walked into Whiterun yesterday and was approached by a completely nude courier. I'm not sure where he was keeping the letter, but since then Lydia does my reading for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carajp Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'd just emerged from some dungeon on a mountainside when I bumped into the old Orc again - the one that keeps asking for you to "give me a good death". Well, last time I felt bad about and I'd walked away but for some reason I decided this time I should. Trouble was, I was over-encumbered. I knew I'd picked up some rubbish by accident, so before I talked to him I pulled up my inventory and just dropped some heavy stuff that wasn't valuable. Came out of the inventory and this Orc just says (paraphrased cos I was too stunned to memorise it) "Well! I thought I was in a bad way but at least I'm not dropping my rubbish everywhere!" I just stared at the screen, WTF? And then laughed and laughed. Genius bit of programming. Keep meaning to find if the same thing happens with every NPC but also keep forgetting. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
