Has anyone ever felt like they walked in on something while

I was going to go to Dragonsreach to buy some Grand Soul Gems & when I got to Farengar's room, Amren was using the the Arcane Enchanter & Farengar was standing near him. Anyone else have weird moments like this within Skyrim?

I walked in on Camilla in a bedroom with Sven.

...My bedroom.

...And Camilla was my wife.

...Was.

Something which did make me chuckle was in a cave full of witches and hargraven. As I approached a door I could hear a man crying for help. when I opened it I had a witch attack me who I killed instantly. Then I noticed the man who cried out (now dead) was tied face over a table in just a loin clothe. A bit puzzled as to what had been happening I looked at the witch and noticed it was a MAN??!!

Who knows? Just coincidence maybe? Why else would a man tie another man crying out for help over a table in just a loin clothe. Whatever was happening must have been too much as it left him for dead. No visible signs of body damage. I didn't look under the loin clothe

I think it was the quest where you have to get the witches heads. It was a long time back I did it.

Not necessarily "walking in" on something but I once had this moment where the courier gave some note to me while dressed in nothing but a loin clothe.

I love the little jokes the devs and writers throw into this game. They seem like real fans- probably sitting around a table going "wouldn't it be cool if we put this guy tied up in a loincloth in this cave here..." and someone chuckles and says "yeah, they'll be talking about THAT on the forum."

I'd love to have a roundtable podcast with the writers and just listen to them talk about how they come up with little things like this and hear them bounce ideas off of each other.

That would probably be very interesting.

When I first read the title I thought this was about getting the same feeling from walking in on someone playing skyrim as you do walking in on some getting it on. As in.. you know they want you to leave.

Like 2 hours ago I came back from a mission for Vex. I went to the "secret" passage and clicked on the thieves guild symbol button. As you know the ground retreats into the wall and you can take some steps to the passage that will lead directly the "The ragged flagon - cistern". Well now when I pressed on the thieves guild symbol button one of the female guards came walking up the steps. I guess we really have the guard in our pockets.

I think there are a lot more of these moments than we suspect, if only because there are many locations like the Jarls' palaces that we tend to visit only when we have business there. Get in, take care of business, get out. If you hang around an otherwise busy place long enough and often enough you see NPCs doing stuff that you never knew they did if the only time you paid attention to them was when you were looking them up to do some bartering or advance a quest.

I spent a lot of time in the Palace in Windhelm at the end of my last character's career, because I was playing around with a lot of mods for Ulfric that resulted in me marrying him and having him as a follower and there were conflicts so I was around there for days of in-game time taking mods in and out and trying to figure out what worked and what didn't. He would go missing sometimes and I'd be all over the place looking for him.

Nothing remarkable, really, but during that time I went into the "map room" off of the main hall and found Wuunferth, the court mage, standing over the table where Ulfric normally stands, peering down at the map. Another time I found him sleeping on Jorleif's bedroll in the kitchen, which was really odd since he has his own room and bed (which was empty at the time). Up until then I had never seen him anywhere except in his own room, just sitting there or at one of his crafting tables (or sleeping in his own bed). But apparently he actually does roam around the palace and do other stuff, I was just never there often enough to see it.

It's cool to think that guards and citizens in Whiterun are also stopping by Farengar's rooms to enchant stuff. I once found Amren sitting upstairs on one of the benches in the "Jarl's quarters" section of the Palace - no idea why he was there, maybe he was just killing time until the enchanter was free. :P

But it does give that feeling that not *every* party waits on the Dovahkiin's arrival to get rolling, which is nice because there's enough of that in the game already.

I think the most messed up moment was talking to this guy about finding a dog in Falkreath and having a dragon land in the town square. Then getting fined 80 gold for shouting at the damn thing while the dragon was you know. Killing people and breathing ice everywhere. Apparently I was the bigger disturbance.

While doing the quest "Diplomatic Immunity," Elenwen got stuck between 2 people and started dancing (glitching)

She later sat down on Erikurs lap (another glitch)


[these were fixed after 1.5 btw]

Just today I was in Hag's Rock and after clearing the dungeon I ran back through it and found a stormcloak courier (with no letter to give me) that seemed very content with not moving from a witch's body that was in a very awkward position... Seems witches are involved in a lot of funny moments :)

I ran into the one of the jarls (I think the one from morthal) sleeping with her bodyguard. It was awkward.

If you mean Idgrod Ravencrone, her steward is also her husband. That being said, I can't tell if that makes it more awkward or less.

I had a similar incident like that. I was going through Mzinchaleft (?) & I was near the end of the first or second level when I came across 2 falmer which I killed & the way the looked afterwards was a masterpiece of unintentional hilarity. 1 falmer was sitting down with his legs crossed w/ the other laying across his lap & 1 of them used the frostbite spell so there was a lot of white stuff on the wall behind them.

On another occasion, I was doing the quest "Purity" for Farkas and once I killed the witch, I examined it's body, took its head, & the witch was supposed to disappear & reappear to where it was laying on the ground w/ it's head cut off, but not this time as it disappeared than reappeared standing up. That confused me for a little while until I realized it was a glitch.
