Post you epic fails

Post » Tue Jun 19, 2012 6:47 am

Playing my Archer and was doing the end of the main quest.

When it was time to fight Alduin, I noticed that I had ran out of arrows.

Had to use Blades sword + Various poisons + followers + a bunch of other pathetics skills like the first fire spell just to win.

Epic fail.

:nope:

Lack of arrow making skill in Skyrim is pure fail.

Especially when they keep taunting things to the deer like ''I'll rip your heart out''. Makes me laugh everytime xD

Kicking a chicken only to realize that animal cruelty is severely frowned upon in Skyrim. Wound up running from a mob of angry villagers. Stupid chicken.

That's a good one, lol.

There have been a few times during combat where I accidentally hit my follower, triggering a kill animation and their slow motion annihilation.... proceed to previous save

Did a few quests, killed a named dragon, killed a blood dragon, fell off a mountain, died, hadn't saved, stopped playing for the day.

Stole the horse from the Black-Briar lodge, met Louis Letrush nearby in the woods, running away from a frostbite spider, which I killed for him. Intimidated him into giving me the horse, went off a ledge while riding it, killed the horse upon landing, owned it for 3 minutes.

Spent nearly an hour arranging items on shelves in my house, and fat fingered A instead of tab. Regretted my rebind immediately, as I Fus Ro Dah'd my way to infamy. Lydia sent me a letter telling me I'd made a scene in Breezehome too.

Does getting attacked by a dragon in sky haven temple, 5 feet away from Esbern and Delphine count?

Yea, hearing a hunter saying "i'll rip your heart out" to a bunny.
And their clothing and wartaunts always gets them mistaken for bandits.

I was getting Nettlebane to heal the tree in Whiterun. Was hiding around the base of the raised promontory that the hagraven was on to avoid death-by-fireball. Without even realizing it, I ran into a spike patch and died wondering who the heck was stabbing me.

Tried to use Freeze Form shout on a gaggle of draugr, only instead I Whirlwind sprinted right into the middle of them. Imagine my embarrassment.
