Is it possible to avoid dieing from large falls while zooming in a bow and slowing time 50%?
no but you can crouch and wont take as much pain

or you can do what i do with the black jesues horse
ride it off a cliff once a week screaming "Foe Ken Hors" its my unofficial shout for causing me so much Foe Ken Gerf like trying to do any thing that pertains the bad guys not knowing where you are.

I've done this one successfully before. What I haven't established is whether different objects cause different damages (the kettle I threw didn't do much).
i tryed swords and arrows didnt quite stick in them as i had intended, maybe next time i wont use my gear so i dont have to run away screaming "i just wanted to give you some stuff"

is it possible to catch an arrow with a time slow shout?
no but i have been working on this with time slow and telk to try and grab it in mid air and sling it back, so far ive taken a lot of arrows to the face

and the knee one no i shoot every one i see at lest once in the knee with those arrows that one gal gives you to hit the targets if that was the case my first play through would of been nothing but guards by the end of it.....
but good idea for a mod on both parts

Both Nirnroot and Crimson Nirnroot won't respawn.
yes and not
Crim wont unless your game glitches like mine did all of it responed
ninroot takes a week but i pick some up every time i travel to Morthal under the tree right when you fast travel i do the ring for acl stuff and sale the makings keep the ing i want.....
side note you can reverse pickpocket health pots in guards that boost there health to give you a chance to yes you guessed it...... shoot them in the knee. makes for good fun and its not like they are going to go adventuring any time soon any ways side not be ready to pay hefty knee doctor bills to set guards for once they "know you" they expect you to pay for it......... lazy welchers

Do random horses whose riders die always go back to where their riders fell, even if you take the horse and it's not "stealing"?
This happened to me the other day when I saw a horse standing next to its fallen rider. I walked up to it and the interact said "ride", not "steal."
I didn't want to keep it, I just wanted to put it in a stable so it wouldn't just be sitting out there. As soon as I dismounted it walked off back in the direction of where its dead rider was.

1. Myth: Is it possible to reanimate a headless corpse as a thrall, and have him/her still be headless?
Answer: Unknown?

2. Myth: Does the use of only ONE fist decrease unarmed damage output as opposed to having both left and right unarmed?
Answer: Unknown?
1. No. When someone is decapitated, they are put in a state much like if they were vaporized. They can no longer be reanimated.

2. No. Damage is calculated by what you use to hit someone. If you hit them with your right hand, it's the same damage no matter what is in your left hand.

And yeah these are just questions, not myths...

Is it possible to get a stealth kill when falling from a higher height, onto an enemy?
yes with the bow and slow time perk........... i call those trick shots, also a great way to say hi to your neighbor hood contract target shot. now the really hard shot is the shoot the hawk while jumping off the tower and crouching after to survive the fall that one is one i have only done once......
list of trick shots
  • guess whos coming for dinner( shoot the food and get a head shot and kill them while they are eating it)
  • bilnd arch, shoot the target that is behind somthing with and arch shot, has to be a long ways away )
  • you call that dancing ( shoot both feet and then their bum )
  • can you see me now ( shoot them through the eye slot on their plate helm )
  • leap frog ( shoot the person behind the person that you see they must be close togeather )
  • noble duck hunt ( kill the horse a noble is on with out killing the noble one shot sneak from looooong range)
  • daves not here ( weakest bow, weakest arrows you can find, no clothes on turn invisable go in the middle of a camp and try to make it out alive master only )
have fun with those come back for more when you get bored

All great questions, keep em coming. once we gather enough conclusive evidence I will post the truthes. To the folks that keep stating "these are not myths just questions" lets not forget that all myths are questions put into a statement, so no need to further nitpick.

I've already tried to reanimate headless corpses...No deal.

Isn't resurrecting a headless corpse the only way to display heads in your home?

Can Telekenis be used to hurl objects at enemies and damage them?
Yes, I remember a forumite saying that he accidentally threw a cabbage at Carlotta Valencia and it killed her, causing her daughter to hate you.

This myth is a physical one.
the myth is If you come across a small drop off point id say about 2 leg lengths high. Will sprinting off of it cause you to die from fall damage. and would there be a difference if you walked and fell over.
Because i find myslef sprinting over these tiny little drop offs and being killed from fall damage whereas i fall from cliff face to cliff face and lose some health and the drops are like 10X larger.

Can bust this one. Fire goes through water. Your spells and dragons. Video of me testing it in my sig. It's early on in the epic dragon melee video.

Will throwing items at traps with telekenises set them off? example: throw a near by jug or soulgem at a hanging fire pot to have it drop down on a flamable liquid?

I only know that dropping items on a pressure plate will only set it off if they weigh enough. You actually get a message saying the item is not heavy enough. I tried an iron helm.

I heard a rumour that if you stand beside a giant and cast a Frost spell on a mammoth, the mammoth actually enjoys the cool breeze and the giant will thank you with gold and a random gem...


Just tried on my lvl 2 mage. He gave me 18 gold and a leg of goat.
