I have found I have been killed instantly (Dramatically also, being blown into the air) when ever I fast travel to any point of the map.

So I go to map, select destination > fast travel > loading screen appears > then loads area where I get blown into the air and die from the point of the screen loading the destination. Then it loads up my last save/auto-save.

Any one else had this problem?

didnt have it, sounds fun though

maybe an angry invisible giant poking you?

Wow thats a new one on me, sounds like your fast travel permit got revoked.

Sorry forgot the helpful bit, does this happen with all your saves or just one?

That sounds hilarious to be honest. I wouldn't find it funny if it was happening to me, but then again it wouldn't happen to me; I don't use fast travel. Does it happen with carriages or just the fast travel feature.

Only thing that springs to mind is do you have any health buffs?


The only time I've seen anything remotely similar was when max health dropped below actual health due to a fortify health effect wearing off.

If it's not that then I have no idea.

Lol I can see the funny side of that but imagine that happening, you have autosaves enabled, and you don't do the manual routine for whatever reason.
Talk about being stuffed.

This actually just happened for me today. Had climed the mountain above Mehrunes Dagons shrine and tried to fast-travel to the stormcloak camp to the north-west. When the camp loaded I was spawned in mid-air and fell to my death - thrice!
Quite funny - luckily it didn't happen other places/locations...

I suspect this is why auto-save on fast travel is before you leave rather than on arrival.

It's also why Skyrim has three auto-save slots instead of just one, the number of times I walked through a door on Oblivion or Fallout only to be killed as soon as the area loaded is too depressing to count. Thankfully we have more slots and I'm yet to encounter a single enemy lying in wait immediately after a transition in Skyrim, the only time I've gone through a transition and immediately into combat has been when I've unintentionally lured enemies I was fleeing from there - Bethesda still needs to get the hang of balancing, every new game still has this first few hours weaker than wolves before suddenly becoming an unkillable god thing going on.
