What was your first death? : V - Skyrim

» Wed May 16, 2012 8:32 am

LOL, my first playthrough I was planning a Dead is Dead character, just started the game, super pumped.

Died in Bleak Falls Barrow LOL. That frickin trap killed me. I saw that stone on the floor and though "Hey, maybe I can pick that up or something". Walked over to it and was fenced to death.

The first death was when i went exploring near Whiterun. I went along the river when i came to a part with one tower on each side of the river with a bridge/walkway between them. When i went in i got attacked by a Orc Bandit wielding a two handed Axe with Fire damage. He killed me in one blow.

Decided to walk up to a giant and repeatedly spam E to see if i could talk to him, i found out the hard way that instead of talking to me, he'd just make an attempt at sending me into space.

I have a DB contract in Morthol. My target is always in the presence of witnesses. I yielded to the guards (sheathed my sword) and yielded to the townsfolk. They just kept on attacking until I was dead, ran out of health potions. So much for "yielding to the law". Next time I murder this target, I am gonna run like hell and, given a chance, will teleport to Riften where the guards'll happily accept a fine. I tell ya, the Dark Brotherhood is costing me a lot in gold. Should I of killed the guards and all the people in the inn so there were no witnesses? No, I am not THAT bad of a character.

I doing some general investigating when I saw something up on a mountain that looked unmountain like. I got myself to it and discovered it was just a very uniformly colored rock. I was coming down and realized the distance you can fall and get no damage and the distance to fall and die is about an inch apart from one another.

A frost troll got me I think.

The first thing I did in the game was run to the far north... so I was kind've asking for trouble.

The frost troll on the path to the grey beards when they first "call" you.

I think it was the spider in the cave you have to get the golden claw from near the start. I was not prepared.

Indeed. I also did in Bleak Fall Barrow for the first time I think.

I tried getting down a cliff the fast way by jumping into a lake. It wasn't deep enough.

Krosis. Plain and simple. Found him early, got nuked by his Staff of Fiery Agonizing Demise. Went back and hid behind a rock and pot-shotted him to death with magic.

My first death was from a giant "hey they are friendly and won't do anything" yeah right, he kicked my butt 200 miles up in the air..

I was trying to do some roof jumping like you could in Oblivion or Morrowind with max Athletics and Acrobatics. I knew the skills were gone, but I wanted to see what the jump distance was like without them. So I got to Riverwood and clambered up to the top of one of the houses there, which with the tall roofs and it being elevated above the ground a bit meant I was a good two and a half stories up. Then I backed up, ran towards an adjacent house, and took a flying leap.

So as it turns out, jump range is nowhere near what I was expecting, and you can die pretty easily from that sort of fall. Whelp, lesson learned.

Frost troll on the quest to High Hrothgar. I had no idea they were so poweful. One-shot, boom, dead

First main quest dragon (other than the opening sequence) outside of Whiterun. It landed right in front of me, It blasted me with fire. I blasted it with fire, it cocked its head to the side as though it was confused, and ate me. It was pretty awesome to see. I was so dumbfounded (didn't realize I was in range for that) and it was so awesome that I didn't even have time to be unhappy about it. The game reloaded and I took it out the second time :flamethrower:

In the first dungeon I explored, I stepped on my first floor trap, one of the swinging door ones. Didn't kill me, but scared me something fierce. Thought to myself, "Gosh, I should try to lead one of these pesky Draugr into this trap!"

Rounded a few corners, and found my first Restless Draugr who happened to be the first magic user I had come across. In full panic mode, I hoped my newly frosted feets wouldn't fail me...and I fled right back into that floor trap. :facepalm:

I ran into a spriggan at level 2. It destroyed me in less than 3 seconds.

I got offed by a giant as well. I saw a mammoth wandering about so i went to get a tusk for a quest I had and ouch - I flew about 40 feet ahead of me and splatted the ground. I didn't see the giant come up from behind.

Giant. Wasn't expecting to be dead with one whack of his massive club!

» Wed May 16, 2012 1:14 pm

A giant. It slapped me higher than High Hrothgar. It was an insane introduction to mortality in Skyrim.

Ouch.
