Embarrassing things you do in Skyrim

Post » Thu Jun 07, 2012 2:41 pm

Alright, time to hear about the things you do to make Skyrim more 'immersive' - those little things that really make no sense, because it's a video game, but you still do because it's also NOT a video game. I'm talking about the ones where if another person was watching you'd probably scream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br0XwlFtizA

I spent an entire night robbing every home in Whiterun, leaving behind a single salmon as my calling card. In the game world I would be the 'Sneaky Salmon'. In the real world I was ridiculed for an hour by my best friend.

Your turn, peeps.

I honestly haven't done anything like this or anything I would be embarrassed about. But what you have done there, is hilarious. Now the ideas are rolling in my head!! :blush:

I once took over a fort with jail cells that could only be opened by switch.

I tried to trap multiple companions in them. I am pretty sure I was going to systematically torture them all to death.

Don't ask me why.

Talk about some skeletons in the closet.

Hehe...I will often verbally, as in "out loud", respond to comments said to or around my character. Or I'll say hi to certain characters as I walk or run past them....things like that.

I don't need the game to give me 8 conversation options to chose from...I just say it.

Accidently falling into a body of water when traveling on foot in Skyrim is very embarrassing for me and it annoys me at times.

Semjaza mined silver in a certain prison because they told her if the prisoners didn't meet quota, they didn't get fed. :cold:

I will sometimes talk to my followers or react to a surprise. Examples:

Lydia: Let's get going then.
Me: Tally ho, [censored]!

*Draugh Overlord surprises me from behind*
Me: [censored][censored][censored][censored][censored][censored][censored][censored]



(This is easily my most swear heavy post, and I didn't even intend it that way, lol)

For the first time I tried using a bow but ended up getting an arrow to the knee. I found myself applying for guard duty soon after.

Lol I think some of you didn't read the first post.

I only use potions if I have my weapons sheathed and I allow about 3 seconds of actual game time for my character to consume the potion before pulling my weapons back out or drinking another potion.

Not really embarrassing but I think it adds a little more challenge and makes for some very heart pounding moments.

I started out doing the thieves guild then decided it was too shady for my character so I tried to make amends to all the people I was asked to harass at the beginning by doing quests for them or dropping some coin in their shop to pay them back for the expensive vase that I broke. I actually felt bad when these people greeted me in an unfriendly way. lol

For me it is trying to get quality screenshots with Miuri at the Hag's Head. The lighting is so bad in that place ... :cool:

When Lydia got killed, i was so sad (she`d been with me for 19 levels and almost everywhere) that I walked back to Solitude from the outer reaches slowly in respect to her.

I mean I walked... all the way. Took a while.

Shortly after finishing the mages college questline I stole a Golden Statue of Dibella from some argonian out in the ice bergs and put it in the horticultural garden in the archmages quarters. :biggrin:

Not really for immersion, but I steal all equipped items excluding shoes/boots from every character I come across and drop them on the ground. Just because max pickpocketing with all the perks is ridiculous.

I buy things I don't need from poor (as in fiscally challenged) vendors and deliberately charge run into characters I don't like. Try also to use Kyne's Peace to prevent wolves from going after bunnies and what not :blush:

I can now shoot dragonflies and the salmon that jump out of the water in mid air with my bow.

God I love the infinite arrow bound bow.

I have a habit of dumping dead bodies into bodies of water. If they're too far away, I resurrect them, lead them into the water, then wait for them to die again, letting their ashes flow downstream.
