Orc drug dealer on the way to the College of winterhold

Dark Brotherhood assassins attempting to kill me

more, awesome random event ... dragon attacks, especially named, unique ones

Some guy that came up to me during a dragon battle, telling me to hold on to something, locking me in the conversation mode, while the dragon nearly killed me

Another one i remembered: a thief in Riften. I busted him attempting to pick a lock into a shop. The guards attemted to kill him afterwards

Also where is the stray dog?

Thanks, ill add this in
also that guy gives you a random enchanted weapon and tells you not to betray him, a hunter comes up asking about him.

Oh, the dog is completely random, i found him on my way to solitude.
I also found that thief, he tried to steal a clay jar and got shot through the heart, a bit brutal

Ahh, thanks

I was wondering what he was wanting to steal.

near the giant camp that nearly every1 ran into on the way to the first dungeon, i ran into a bunch of dead bandits and a horse...

what i THINK happened was the bandits got demolished by the giants (probably chased a stray deer or something and pulled it) but left the horse free. the horse wasnt exactly convenient and would always walk away randomly when i dismounted but from lvl 4 up to when i entered the first dungeon, i had a free horse lol.

Speaking of giant camps, a giant camp in the Plains of White run has a unique sleeping tree which you can collect sap from.

Some Nord guys asking me to join them drink some mead (can't remember the exact name, they were around the corner from Riverwood across the bridge on the way to Whiterun) I gave them some mead, telling them that 2 is always better than one, he agreed and i went off to Whiterun

Thanks for the new info guys!
keep em coming, we may have the full list by the end of tomorrow if we are lucky!

Imperials (or Thalmer) can be seen escorting a stormcloak prisoner

Your telling me this as you go, arnt you?

Bandits, who have killed Imperial soldiers, dressing up like them demanding money

I keep on remembering other random events every time i post a reply lol

Hmph, looks like we ran out for the time being
