Things that make you go "ROFL"

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 6:49 am

It made me ROFL today when one of the Khajiit traders was bouncing up and down in her tent due to some kind of pathfinding glitch. It also made me laugh when I released all the prisoners in a certain dungeon and none of them even bothered to make a run for it. I had to pick the locks for each of them. The response I got for each was along the lines of "Leave me alone". I thought if I could make mods I would make these prisoners at least attempt an escape when the door is opened.

Some time ago I was leaving Morthal, walking up that steep hill that "T's" at the top of the hill. About half way up the controller vibrates, camera shakes, and I'm: "Uh-oh, dragon!". So I run up the hill trying to sight him and to hopefully draw him away from the town. Soon as I reach the top, I turn right and see him go into hovercraft-mode for a breath attack; but he's not focused on me, there's a giant on that ledge that overlooks Morthal. My first thought is, "Wth is a giant doing here?"

Anyway, I like giants (they saved my bacon a couple of times early in the game with dragons) and was glad for the opportunity to help one out. I pulled out my bow, hit the dragon a couple of times and off it flies to come back for another pass. This time it lands, but near the giant. I hit it a couple more times with the bow (or so I thought) before it takes off again. Well, the giant had been down on a knee, gets up and immediately charges me. "Well, crap, I guess one of my arrows missed." So Eola (my follower) and I backpedal as I notch another arrow. Before I get the shot off, the dragon swoops down, picks up the giant in its jaws and flies off.

That was the first time I'd seen a dragon do that. "Holy eat on the fly, Batman!" I just leaned back on the couch stunned at the whole circumstances of what'd happened. Finally I looked back at Eola and she just shrugged her shoulders ... cracked me up. Well, by the time I'd recovered my wits, the AI determined it wasn't done with me yet and Mr. Blood Dragon lands smack on the road and in my face.

Now at this point, Eola was a few meters behind me and had lots of options, including: native destruction spells or summons, staff of ice storm, staff of sparks, sanguine rose. Guess which one she chose ...

None of the above. I hotkey to 1-H and as I raise spellbreaker expecting a breath attack, I see a little, blue-glowing bunny run past me to attack the dragon. I had to bring up the favorites menu so that I could pause the game ... because uncontrollable laughter was imminent.

I wouldn't say it was a ROFL moment, but I did have a bit of a chuckle at an exchange with Nadja in Jorvasskr the other day. (It is her who's a bit of a cow, isn't it?) I went into the Companion's Quarters and she was in one of the rooms straight ahead. Sat on a chair I think. I went up and said hello, but as usual I got a bit of abuse. Put on my Amulet of Mara and clicked on her and she really shouted, "WHAT!!??!!!", at me in such a hig-pitched voice. "Interested in me, are you?", I replied. Had such a calming effect on her. "Well, you are quite interesting," she said. It was a nice feeling to say I wasn't interested in her. A mental slap in the face, as it were.

Werdly though, I turned, jogged out of the room, up to the other end of the corridor, into Aela's room, and I couldn't believe my eyes to see Nadja in there!! How'd she get there so quick like that!? Unless she's got a doppelganger!

Once I decided to kill the whole of Whiterun, well, as many as I could. About 5 minutes in, Vignar came outside and started helping me!

Oh and once in the Thieves Guild, Sapphire and Thrynn(?) were speaking. He goes something like: "so, what can I do for you? or more importantly, to you" and she just rejects him flat out.

This is the most foul, viscious beast you ever seen. It's got big pointy sharp teeth and-look at the bones!

Mentioned this on the spoiler forum but my (rather good) character had thugs sent after him. Couldn't figure out who had sent them since my character wasn't in the habit of stealing, until I read the note...from "a Briarheart."
Ah yes, he must have been really annoyed about me picking his pocket for his briarheart and killing him in the process.

Watching bandits and monsters fall prey to their own traps never gets old, either.

Two guards where standing outside a gate... A bunny hopes up to them and one of them yells "Someone do something!"

The other guard draws his hammer and smashes the poor thing and says "That takes care of that..."

When NPC's say something like "You'll never take me"! and then I one shot them.

I instigated a fight with a giant in Blackreach, and had him chase me around. I would activate the centurions, piss off the trolls, and engage all the Falmer and the other enemies in Blackreach, and run off while the Giant took care of them for me.

Thought it was pretty smart to say the least.

I had two just a little while ago:

1) After shooting down an Ancient Dragon over Riverwood, I move up to be in range for the soul, and just then a guard walks by; he is no more than 2-3 feet away from me and looking in my direction while I am absorbing the soul and with the Dragon's corpse right behind me, and then quips: "I'm ready in case we see a Dragon".

2) Alvor, the blacksmith, gives his usual comment about "leaving that fancy Elven stuff for the Elves" while wearing an Elven Mace on his hip.

If these two are anything to go by, I shudder to think what the average IQ is in Skyrim...

Today I say a Khajiit walkin in air like he was going up some steps that made me laugh.

Then it always makes me laugh when all of the sudden a mammoth shoots in the air hundred of feet then plummets to its death.

NPC named Lucky Lorenz who died after a tree fell on him.

I stumbled across that too recently. Did you happen to see what he was reading?

After killing a dragon in Riverwood, I took a potshot at a chicken. The whole town went crazy and a guard says: "You have committed a crime a crime against Skyrim."

Trying Unrelented Force for the first time, thanks community! :) Lydia was the victim of course, she is standing the edge of a very tall mountain. I press "z", only to figure that I had Whirlsprint tagged. It took me long enough to find some new locations to check out, while I was falling...

Mammoth decending from the sky, yep, this particular mammoth didn't fall. He just slowly dropped down, like using the featherfall spell and landed ontop of another mammoth, standing on it's back for a couple of seconds. Then it slowly slid down the side of the other mammoth until it hit the ground. The both of them then started to walk in unison. Weirdest moment ever.

I found a mammoth climbing a tree once. I killed it.
