Hi there!
I saw an amazing reaction from a NPC in Windhelm.
I was just looking in my items list and I just saw a tankard and I decided to drop it down.
suddenly after that someone which was there ran to me and said something like this: "Hey watch out about your equipment, this has dropped from your items; here you are!" and just gave that tankard to me!
I was just like "Wow" and "ooof" !!

Go to a crowded area and drop something expensive. That's always fun.

Go to an Inn and drop a decent weapon...

Yeah, I dropped something in Riften, and some guy was like, "Dude, what the hell"

And I was like, dude, thats awesome

And then I decided to stop smoking pot

I should try that! that was really a fun!

I dropped a piece of armor in Riften near an NPC and he walked over and asked me if I didn't want it could he have it and it actually gave me an option to reply yes or no. It's only happened that one time and was very cool. There needs to be more random stuff like that. Random stuff that doesn't happen very often unlike the many things NPC's say over and over and over and over .....

I've seen a small street war break out over a pot.

With my rich character, I dropped a brick of gold. Then two NPC's argued over who saw it first, then they fought to the death. Four more NPC's stepped in and when the fighting was over, nobody took my gold brick...I guess the guy who won was just looking for some decent competition. Oh Riften, how I love your random encounters <3

I dropped a Cabbage in the Riften Tavern... Two people fought over it and someone was murdered while someone was a Cabbage richer.

i dropped a sword once and a guard came to me saying i shouldnt drop weapons because someone could get hurt and he said he wouldnt warn me again lol

You can actually get a fine for dropping weapons, if you say the wrong things to the guard.

Yeah, it has happened to me a few times.

The funniest one was kind of a bug. I was in a dungeon and I was clearing stuff from my inventory and I dropped a few items. Well, there was a bandit in the other room (not yet aggressive - no red dot on my compass) and I guess his AI was "friendly" so he came in running in the room (I guess he heard the stuff fall on the ground) and asked if he could have a piece of armour. I answered yes, but right after that his AI switched to aggressive since he was near me I guess and then he started attacking me. I was laughing so hard I almost got killed.

Funniest thing that happened to me in Smyrim (well that and the Falmer who fell dead sitting in a bucket - I posted a pick a while back).

I dropped a scimtar that belonged to an alikr warrior, and immediately Mila Valentia comes sprinting out of nowhere and picks it up, and proceeds to sling it on her side, not ready to battle but just equiped at her side. She stil has it and i see her walking around and she looks like a pirate. I didnt know kids wanted swords. especially girls.

Dropped piece of iron ore. Result: Battle to the death.

Dropped gems and jewelry. Result; "Here, you dropped this." from a townsperson.

Dropped gems and jewelry again. Result: Nobody does anything. So I start to pick it back up. A guard passes by. "You just found that laying around? Must be your lucky day!"

I've seen a kid in Solitude wielding a Steel Dagger. >.>

How nice this reaction are. I think this is why ES roles!

Wow, it's cool that they finally put this in the AI coding... I had hoped for stuff like this in Oblivion, but I guess they weren't quite there yet. I used to drop a pair of shoes next to the beggars in Imperial city who always say "All I want is a pair of shoes" or something to that effect. The beggars never picked up the shoes, though probably because ownership was set to the PC and that would be stealing. Besides, in Oblivion, they would have needed scripting or needs, etc. set to "need shoes" or try to aquire shoes.

I had some conversations with other modders about making a mod that made it so you could actually give the beggars shoes or something happens after you give the beggars a certain amount of money, like they go away, or can finally afford a house, etc.

Bethesda seem to have put in alot of features that people have modded in before or were heavily requested. Not all the ideas get put in (and some things get taken out... spears and crossbows! ), but at least they seem to listen to some of the ideas and try to push the boundaries with each game.

:-D

I too finally got this event to trigger. But it was odd, I went into someone's house and accidentally nicked some clothing. I opened my inventory and dropped it, they owner of the house runs up and says, "Excuse me. But you dropped this armor. If you don't want it do you mind if I take it?"

I was like, 'Ahhh, it's yours.'

I was storing some stuff in my room at the College and wanted to put my new Circlet of Alchemy on my bed. I didn't want it to get lost in all my inventory and I wanted to remember to use it the next time I used the lab.

Suddenly a voice says, "Um.... I was wondering if you still want that....?" and there were TWO npcs standing in my doorway. I said, "Yeah, leave it alone." and in a very disappointed tone each one said, "Okay" and walked away.

Yes, its cool except when you find yourself dropping something outside a fort in the wilderness and one of the bandits runs all the way out of the fort, picks up the rusty sword, hands it back to you and says, "Here you dropped this".

You no choice but to stand there for a few seconds blinking in disbelief.

we are doomed!
invincible kids are taking over now!

Is there more than one beggar in any of the cities? It'd be fun to drop some food and see if they fight over it.

You seem to hang around the in-game kids alot... and some kids have steel daggers.
