Amusing and WTF moments of Skyrim.

Post » Fri Jun 08, 2012 8:11 am

- Listening to the bard in the Winking Skeever singing the "Dragonborn" song. I shout with Kyne's Peace after she's done, and EVERYTHING in the inn goes flying away from me like a bomb went off.

- Shot a bandit with a bow who was uphill from me. It hit the knee (no joke), and she went flying about 200 feet in the air.

- Dragon skeleton near the Whiterun tower spasms when I approach the tower and the skeleton reappears 50 feet away from where the dragon died.

- Giant killed by the Companions near Whiterun. His club floats slowly skyward sometime after.

The first time a giant whacked me 400ft into the air.

Or on my 3rd playthrough when I discovered a sprawling, detailed Forsworn camp next to a waterfall, I was thinking "how come I didn't find this place before?"

None of these are mine, but I have had a few happen to me. Like the breakdancing Troll.

And everyone has been clobbered by a giant.

2 people fell out of the sky for no apparent reason.
1, a Stormcloak was dead on landing. The other, an Imperial I think, got up and ran off :shrug:

Fighting a giant in a giant camp...

I kill him and a Boethiah Cultist comes sprinting towards me.

Dialgoues starts briefly, lags, and a mammoth drops from the sky and sends him to Oblivion.

Strongest Conjuration spell in Skyrim.

My companion got stuck in his yield position and sort of inched along after me for a while. Very weird.

After some dishonest dealing with one Louis Letrush of Riften, I saw him outside the stables in Whiterun. Without giving anything away, he may have had reason to be there. Next time I went past, he'd cloned himself. There are now seven of him just standing outside the Whiterun stables. I also recently saw an eight incarnation of him get whacked by a hired thug outside Winterhold. Weird, and slightly creepy.

I saw a two headed mammoth, before it split and the one went 500' up, only to land and walk on the other's back for a while.

Sinding alive and well, looking all beastly in the middle of the day outside Riverwood.

So far, my one moment would have to be shooting Farkas accidentally in the head with an arrow and he says, "Watch it, brother.", with an arrow going through his head. As that should have killed him, I found it funny that it seemed to be nothing more than a scratch to him.

I also remember when first starting the game, I get to Riverwood and enter the Inn and hear Sven singing, "Ragnar the Red". As I was probably speaking to the inn keeper or just looking around the place, the lyrics caught my attention and I thought, "Wtf is he singing?", and then I go over to him and request that he sing the song again. More rpgs should have bards singing in the taverns...

I had just finished retrieving Nettlebane from that Hagraven and I was scaling down this snowy hill when I see M'aiq the Liar standing at the bottom. So I finish going down the hill and he started saying something like " It always seems to snow here in Skyrim....No more for M'aiq" and right when he said the word "No" it stopped snowing abruptly. Just like that lol I was shocked and mystified as if I had just witnessed the most epic magic trick in the world :ohmy: :lol:

Man I wish I could have recorded that so I could have shown you guys.

The first time I met Paarthanux I was so shocked to
Spoiler
see a dragon thud down to earth that I put 3 Ebony arrows into his hide before I realised he wasn't going to rain fire down apon my poor guy and he was actually friendly :smile:
That was an eye-opener !

Another time I managed to kill every bad guy in a cave full of Bandits with arrows through the neck! Not only that but one shot was from a good 150 yrds away from across the cavern, each one slumped where they sat or stood, markmanship? hehe

I'm used to the "I used to be an adventurer like you. Until I took an arrow to the knee" running gag by now.

Then I ran into some low-life who said: "I used to be an adventurer like you. Until I took a blade to the chest". I was like, "wait, wut?" "wtf" :)

I was in solitude, running around trying to find some guy, and then out of nowhere I see a guy wearing nothing but boots and underwear.

I decided to avoid him, but he started chasing me all over the place, I ran for a good 3 minutes before he finally caught me.
turns out, he was a courier, and wanted to give me a letter. I didnt know where he kept it so I made sure to put on my leather gloves before opening it :S

whilst clearing out a witchmen cave, I heard a man crying out the other side of a door to be saved. Upon going through the door I killed the witch and saw a man in just a loin cloth tied face over a table with his legs parted. What ever was happening left the man for dead and when looking at the witch I had killed I realized it was a male witch. What he was doing to the poor man, I'll never know :blink: ??

Listening to and writing down everything Todd promised pre-release and then playing the game was the single most WTF moment of my experience with Skyrim.
