Has anyone ever had a scary moment in Skyrim?

Post » Tue Aug 28, 2012 2:47 pm

Ok I know it's not supposed to be scary or anything, just wondering if you've ever had a scary moment or at least experienced something that gave you the creeps.

Mine was yesterday, I've been in this silent and dark cave full of spiders and one shotted them one by one in sneak mode, then I slowly walked into the mess of spider corpses carrying a torch when all of a sudden one of them which I thought was dead heard me, raised its front legs in "alert mode" and scared the hell out of me [yeah, I'm kinda arachnophobic], I almost lose grip of the controller.

I can't wait for TESAlliance's Halloween Specials questmods. The ones for Oblivion were creepy as hell :D

As for vanilla, maybe in falmer caves is where I had my most creepiest moments. There's always something disturbing in them.

Bottom of Frostflow. It was like something out of an "Alien" movie. I wont give too much away for those who havent cleared it, but with the lights out and darkness set pretty low, I pretty much freaked.

The first time I encountered a Dwarven Centurion, I thought it was just a statue that is until it sprang to life without any warning. It scared the dikeens out of my cat and I. I had to pause the game just to regain my composure and to be honest, even after all this time, I have not gotten over it.

I still get goosebumps and a pounding heart when a sabre cat or wolf attacks out of nowhere. I play on a tv in a common area so I can't always have the volume up as loud as I want. Some of those guys scare the crap out of me!!

That freaked me out too.
I personally don't really like burnt corpses either. :)

Kagrenzel. It was my first Dwemer ruin in Skyrim and my first encounter with the dreaded Falmer. I nearly fell out of my chair when a Falmer popped out of the hole in the wall behind me.

I was freaking out when I got trapped in that little cage and that light started spinning around me. Reminded me of House on Haunted Hill. :unsure:

When a dead dragon haunts me in Riften.

Ok, for real. I don't remember where or when, but I was sneaking through a crypt paying only half attention and all of a sudden a draugr busts out of a coffin. The crumbling stone was so loud, it nearly made me jump out of my chair.

I was recently scoping out the area around labyrinthian when a frost troll noticed me. He was right behind me, as I went to jump up onto a ledge where he couldn't reach me, and didn't make it up on first try. My heart was racing, and I made it, but it was exciting in a scary way, cause had he caught me I wouldn't been dead quite fast.

While I find the Falmer creepy as all get out. Argis scared the piss outa me. yeah. Argis! Going through a Dungeon ( forget which one Acient Nord Ruin) 10 min worth of sneaking to the next area with enemies... all the sudden he pop's up with one of those pithy comments about how old the place must be and wonder what they used it for.... I know I yelped, cause it caused my dogs to start barking and I had to pause the game for a couple minutes.

The first time- and second and third time- those things in the basemant of Honeyside had... moved. I actually got scared to go home.

(But I had to, to make sure Ysolda was OK- she goes down there a lot. What if they crept up on her?)

The mannequins are bugged and will load into different parts of the house even though the bases are still in their original places.

I totally forgot about those guys, one of them decided to load by the front door and I was like wtf, who is in my house.

Oh god I completely forgot about those things, when it happened I seriously didn't play Skyrim for 2 weeks it sent shivers through my whole body. If I had known it was just a glitch and not some weird creepy thing beth slipped into the game I would have kept the account instead of deleting it.
