Worst Epic Fail You've Ever Had

I stalked a rock for fifteen minutes because I thought it was an elk. My character was hungry (got to love immersion mods), and I didn't want to waste my good poison.

Shooting arrows at an elk-shaped bush...

lol. I did something similar. Came across a fort and saw men on the battlement walls, i kept shooting at him over and over again and wondered why he wouldn`t die. then I got into the fort and finally killed a few defenders to discover that the guy on the wall was a dummy put there to look like a soldier at a distance!

My worse situation was right at the beginning when the Dragon attacked and I was told to jump down into the hole in the roof. I landed on some fire and burnt to death! This was with the realism mod where fire really HURTS!

Level 2, seen a huge guy holding a club on the Whiterun plains.... 15 seconds later i got a birdseye view of Skyrim.
Giant camps = Nirn's Space Program

:biggrin:


My worst would probably be going after Nettlebane on a level 8 stealthy archer with Lydia in tow. Not only did she repeatedly blow my attempts at stealth, but when I had a guaranteed kill-shot lined up on the Hagraven she charged directly into my line of fire as I loosed. She dropped like a sack of potatoes, and I followed shortly thereafter as I'd lost the only advantage I had and got fried for my trouble.

inb4 "Installed Skyrim" or "played Skyrim"

Mine? Well, it involved a bucket, a cauldron, more than 100 gems, and a glitchy physics engine... Who knew bullets could be so shiny?

My worst fail was, after recruting some good people to become blades, Esbern sent us to a site with a dragon to kill. I go there, expecting to meet my fellow comrads and slay a dragon (between 2 warriors, a mage and an archer...this should be easy). Little did I know that there was not only a dragon preist there who slaughtered them all, but an extra ancient dragon to deal with. -__-. Why, Bethesda, Why put a dragon priest at one of these locations?!?! Needless to say, the blades soon disbanded (atleast i assume soo as I was currently in peices due to a duel dragon attack with a side of priest to boot)!!!

Another time was when I was exploring the area around Riften and came across that huge drop (you know, where it looks like the plates shifted something feirce). I stood there to look at the view (Beth really outdid themselves with the Aurora Boriales), while my follower desided to keep walking a fall. He had most of my loot on him, and I never found his body amoung the rocks and cliff face.

Jumped down a waterfall while thinking the bottom was deep.

I was wrong.

Every time I go a while without saving, the game conveniently freezes on me, as to remind me to save more often.

Ah...the good old days of only needing to save in case of character death or wanting to replay parts of a game.

Was in a cave with my necromancer character. Think the name was Broken Oar cove or something. Killed a few bandits and reanimated as i did my killing. Suddenly i came to a larger cavern and noticed many, many red dots showing on the Hud. Literally 15 bandits came swarming after me and marcurio at once. They went down fairly easy, but their captain instantly brought marcurio to his knees and then came after me with 3 other bandits. My spells were ineffective and finally he killed me. After death i forgot i had Ritual Stone power and i couldve easily ressurected the 13 bandits i previously killed.

I was in "the zone" (meaning: entranced by the game and not saving) trying out the southern route from Falkreath to Riverwood for the first time. After numerous interesting encounters (bandits ambushing from scaffolding, Stendaar Vigilantes fighting vampires, wildlife encounters, etc.), Janessa and I were feeling pretty cocky when we stumbled across a cabin with burnt corpses and a note about a dragon lair.

*snip*

This game is awesome. :)

I was fist fighting an orc chieftain when in the course of our fight I accidentally clocked another orc who had come to watch. Unfortunately, I had a dead thrall with me whose armor and weapon I crafted to legendary. The two handed sword all the way up into one-hit land. Things got hostlile faster than I could find my pacify spell. Bandit chief thrall was cutting through my orc friends like a hot knife through butter. I was laughing and yelling, "sorry, sorry everyone" a la Monty Python. Reload.
