I can't be the only person to witness an epic Mudcrab Vs Dragon fight.

Just last night, I was traveling north of Whiterun to go to the tomb that is part of the DB questline. I was about halfway there and near absolutely no cover at all when suddenly a dragon attacks.

My assassin character can in no way, shape or form handle a dragon one on one in open terrain, so I just fled back towards the city. Along the way, with the dragon giving chase, I run past a bandit camp, some Thalmor traveling the road, some wolves and that traveling bard on the road.

Finally, I get to some cover and turn around ready to fight and I see this MASSIVE melee erupting, The dragon is toasting bandits, wolves, mudcrabs, etc and just tossing them around like rag dolls whenever it lands. Finally at the end of it, there are at least 20 dead "things" around the dragon and I'm able to finish it off quickly with my bow.

Most epic dragon fight yet. I just watched, it was awesome.


Gosh I miss the Imperial Guards, "FOR THE EMPIRE!!!!!" when they fight Mudcrabs.

I actually find it hilarious how big the mudcrabs are, make the ones in Oblivion look like a joke both size and combat wise.

I had an incident where I was having weight issues and had to drop some items, so I drop a Candlestick on the tavern floor in Riften and Mjoll and some other rich patron fought over it. Mjoll basically split him in two with her battleaxe, all for a measly candlestick and the funny thing is I thought Mjoll was suppose to be a protector, I guess that isn't the case anymore. :biggrin:

I carried around a flawless ruby for a while just to drop in random taverns hoping to get some people to fight over it. I couldn't get it to happen anywhere...finally, I ended up in Riften as part of a quest and decided to try it one last time there.

Well, this group of guys all wearing the same clothes (from the meadery I believe) walk in just as I drop it. They draw their blades and start talking about who it belongs to. They stand there for a little while with their weapons drawn, but not fighting. I got bored of waiting and went to pick it up when suddenly the Nord of the group kills the Dunmer in one shot. Then everyone just goes back to their usual tavern activities.

No one picked up the ruby or made a fuss over the dead guy. Heartless Skyrim...you're heartless.


I remember being like lvl 5 or 6, and running into the giant/mammoths outside Whiterun. Got hit like a golf ball a couple thousand feet up. "Hey! I can see my house from here! :D"

I think they put that camp so close by just to teach new players not to mess with giants. I also went there at a really low level, saved, and decided to see what happens if I shoot my bow at them.

Bad things happen. Very bad things. I was launched halfway into Morrowind I'm pretty sure.

Not exactly hilarious, but certainly very funny.

I was in that barrow next to Ivarstead fighting the "ghost" and he managed to back himself into a corner with a bunch of pots, I landed the killing blow and he somehow ended up sticking out of a pot, just his upper torso.

Had just moved around stuff in Breezehome and put things exactly where I wanted them. For some reason my brain decided Z would be a cooler button to press than F5, and well, to put it like a friend did: FUS RO NOOOOO!

started a new thief character. Due to my low level and crappy gear I was trying to avoid tough enemies... such as bandit chiefs. I was at that bridge-like structure not too far from Whiterun stealth killing the bandits there while avoiding the bandit chief. Well, evetually the chief saw me and attacked while I was on the bridge. I ran away to avoid a painful power attack and the chief ended up falling off the bridge to his death. No good loot on his dead body though. That was my funny moment of the day.

Yeah, I was still afraid to mess with Giants with my level well into the 40s.

The 2nd dragon I ever faced (the one that's part of the MQ was the first) landed in a Giant camp. Having already messed with the Giants at a low level before, I was now afraid I'd have a dragon, 2 giants and some mammoths after me. Instead, the Giants turned on the dragon who still had ~80% health and killed it in one hit.

Then I was left with the sticky situation of getting close enough to loot the dragon and capture it's soul without the Giants coming after me...I sprinted in, looted the corpse as it started disintegrating and I heard the distinct "thud...Thud...THUD" of a Giant coming up behind me. I sprinted until I was out of stamina and never looked back. He couldn't have missed me by much.

I have done this too! Different location, tho.

I ran after taking what I wanted from the dead dragon I didn't kill. I was at a low level at the time and didn't have the skill to defeat a giant. I remember weaving around trees to avoid the Giant's deadly swing. It actually had my heart racing! I thought I was a gone for sure! :nod:

However, things have changed. :wink_smile:

I told myself 'in this playthrough, I'm going to hunt every animal I can glimpse, take their pelt, and do what I can with Blacksmithing.'

I accept the golden claw quest, run up the mountain, kill the only wolf on the path. Venture from that path, find a wolf, snipe it with a bow, run up to it, go to loot it, it slides down the mountain. I chase it down the mountain. For a good half a minute it was cat and mouse with this wolf carcass. I finally catch up to it, take the pelt, unload a few arrows into its corpse.

I only killed what animals were convenient there on out, like all my other playthroughs.

Mine may be minor, but it still amused me.

I was fighting some forsworn in one of those ruins. I had killed all except one, an archer, who was positioned near the edge of one of those lookout areas. I advanced on him, he backed up to get a better shot...and promptly backed himself off of the ledge and plunged to his death.

I got a good laugh out of a bandit demanding all my valuables. . . while I was in werewolf form. There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

"As God as my witness, I could've sworn elk could fly"

After dealing with a bandit ambush south of Whiterun, we were proceeding cautiously up a trail when I noticed something in the sky. It wasn't flying, and the shape suggested an elk. Sure enough, as I got closer it was an elk, in the air, about as high as the treetops. As this is not a naturally tenable place for an elk to be, I was not surprised to see it drop like a stone. Free elk hide for me!

Speaking of farmers offering cows to giants, if said animal gets killed the farmer will guard the corpse muttering something like "how am I going to explain to my wife"

Last night, finishing up the Dark Brotherhood questline, I was on board the emperor's ship sneaking around. I was dropping the sailors and Penitus Oculatus guards pretty easily when I come upon two sitting at a table. One says to the other "They say you could see the first from Whiterun...I'm glad we can finally let our guard down..." I shot him in the throat with one of my arrows just as he got to "down."

And then when I got to the Emperor, he asks me if he can have some last words....nope. I just kill him. To quote Tuco: "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk. "

I just started a new game and Alduin started attacking, so I start running over to Ralof but he's blocking the damn doorway so I'm just trying to shove past him. He says "What's the hurry?!" ...

One of the funniest moments I had was when I had to get a staff from a Fire Wizard in Morvunskr for Enthir. Even though I had already cleared it out a while ago and had the exact staff he was looking for. So I went back there at night and snuck inside, ready to take down the novice Fire Mage in the first room. Only he's not there and I hear all hell breaking loose in the tunnel beyond. So I follow the noise to one of the main rooms and there is a massive battle going on between Sanguine and the Wizard and his Fire Mages. They are all in the room beyond and the Wizard is directing the battle from the doorway, with his back to me. So I just shot him with an arrow, looted the body for the staff, and snuck back outta there. None of them ever knew I was there, although from what I heard Sanguine was kicking ass after the death of the Wizard. I couldn't stop laughing the entire time, easiest quest I ever had.

I had just done the Dark Brotherhood quest where you

Spoiler
kill the Emperor

and had swam back to shore, heading up towards Solitude. I was wearing the Emperor's robes and wanted to see what a guard would say when he saw me in them. So I ran up to the first guard I saw and what does he say?

"You have vanquished a great evil from Skyrim! You have saved this land, and our very souls!"

Stop, really, I'm blushing!

I had made an ebony bow wanting to try it out so I climbed a hill with a goat drinking water by the sea. I try to [sneak critical] attack it then it moved. I missed but still got the bonus. Wondering what happened, I walked down to see I killed a slaughter fish.

An NPC was playing an instrument in one tavern, but inadvertently equipped both the instrument and a broom. The broom ended up "stabbing" them right through the chest, impaling them. That amused me.

I'm running a little way behind Delphine on the way to Kynareth when we see two people ahead of us. In spite of her continually saying "We're not looking for trouble ...", she shoots 'em both dead. But just as I come up, I see one of 'em trying to stand up. Whipping out my trusty bow, I shoot and kill ... oh, wait, he's getting up again ... I shoot again ... no use he's still standing ... I hit him with a fusillade of arrows but he doesn't die ...
Then suddenly I realize he is M'Aiq! I felt so guilty that I reloaded a slightly older saved game and passed him by this time with a pleasant nod. Sure don't want M"Aiq mad at me!

Took a twelve hour nap in Dawnstar while a bard outside the door was playing their Dragonborn song. Woke up, and they're still playing the same song, with a bigger audience. Huzzah for overextended songs!

One of the Riverwood kids also took a contract out on me...WHAT?! So confused by that

Nightcrawler Temple, I cast Fury on the orcs that are laying on the ground. Instead of attacking one another, they got up and sat on the nearby bench. I'M SO CONFUSED

I was running towards Markath when I kicked a deer's skull. It flew like 60 feet in front of me.

Lol, I had the same thing, but I was wandering around the mountains and found a Mountain Goat half in the snow head down. Was hilarious, should have screenshotted it in retrospec.

it's a bandit's girlfriend...

I always find the fugitive being chased by hunter's funny. Fugitive walks up, gives me an enchanted item, and then walks like 25 feet and sits there. Then the Hunter shows up, and looking right at the guy, turns to me and asks were he went. I just point and chuckle.
