oh my word I can't believe the detail..

Post » Thu May 10, 2012 2:33 pm

Some of you may know what I'm talking about here but in Whiterun, an alik guard comes up to you asking about a red guard woman who the are they are looking for, and if we have any information to let them know. Ok fair enough, we have seen that happen in Oblivion. But typically this is where it ends, but not here in Skyrim!

I was wondering around the world and I hear some people talking to a lady, I went over to check it out and guess what? It was 2 alik warriors telling this red guard woman to come with them. One of the guard stops and says I don't think she's the one we are after, she does;t have the scar, and they let her go and she says next time you acuse someone of something make sure you have the right person. I couldn't believe it, they actually look for her and question people rather then leaving it to you to give them information. Whats great is this would of happened regardless, I just heard them talking and followed the voices, so I could of easily of not spotted it. I spoke to the guards after and they said the same thing they ar looking for a red guard woman if we have any information let them know, and then after that We believe she is in Whiterun but we are checking everywhere for her. The fact that this happens though speaks wonders to the amount of love and attention betheseda have put into sky rim.

Kudos : )

want to hear my story?
and I almot cried from the detail epicness...

I was walking through the night.. it was foggy, in the distance I saw something glowing... When I came closer, I saw it was a ghost! I tried to talk to it but it ran away...
I kept chasing him down for a minute, untill he stopped.... and looked into a direction, there stood 2 bandits near a tomb like building, as i kiled the bandits, I turned arround... the ghost was gone
so i went down the stairs into the mini tomb, I found a grave, it was open.. with sword and shield in hand. I looted the chest next to it, had some nice jewelry.... and I believe i heard "thank you" whispers through the wind as I walked away ...

Guess the ghost didn't want the bandits to defy his tomb and he wanted a real hero to take his jewelry...

*edit* ... also tell me if you've experienced something with a ghost and a tomb please, I want to know if radiant AI was like "oh hes a good guy (never did anything wrong) or hes bad, like someone who murdered people... and if the ghost would actually not lead you there, or even fight you... I dont know

This is very little, but I loved it.

I was walking along a stream (I can't remember where) and say fish trying to swim against the stream, so they were 'jumping' to ry and get over the water. At the other side of the stream, I noticed an ox (or something, I can't remember really) that was just looking in my direction. It was just one of those little things that told my how much time and effort Bethesda has really put into this game.

yeah also love how the gaints look at you from very far away, and watch you every movement as you get closer, or back off

Those Giants and their Mammoths, Ooh! I've always wanted a game that has mammoths, and here they are in Skyrim. The demos didn't really do them justice. They get nervous and stomp a bit if you get too close, and the giants bellow at you for disturbing them.

It's great, crouching on the heath and watching them pass, I feel like some kind of Neanderthal hunter. The wildlife's reactions are brilliant!

A sad giant standing by a dead mammoth.
He was not agressive but would not speak to me.
He just stood by that mammoth making sad noises.

People recognize it when you are holding your weapon out, or a specific spell, or swinging that weapon or casting that spell. Or if you are diseased. Or naked.

I saw a video of someone killing Alvor the blacksmith, and later his wife actually had dialogue referring to Alvor being dead.

I think I saw him too. Couldn't keep up with him.

My first experience with Radiant Story epicness happened early on in Riverwood. When what's her face gave me the Golden Claw quest, she didn't just tell my Nord about it and put a marker on my map, she actually walked outside with him and explained in detail how to get to Bleak Flats Barrow.

This seems pretty simple, but I was blown away by it. I actually found the place without needing to cheat with the map.

I had this happen when I rented a room at an Inn, the innkeeper actually shown me to my room and started telling me about the foods and wines she has for sale if I feel peckish and to come to her if theres any problems. Has not happened to me at all Inns, but this woman obviously cared ! lol

Shouting in public is obvious, guess everyone knows what happens right :) ?
