SKYRIM MythBusters!

Post » Sun Jun 03, 2012 12:17 am

Hello fellow forum goers,

Id like to start creating a list of questions, curiosities, "myths" or anything else unique and unusual that have not been explained or given proper notice either in the faq section,game guide, or wiki.

I myself play on console (Xbox) so I won't be able to help "Test" certain ones involving console commands. Im curious to see what other players have for questions that they have yet to test, or even neat little tricks that havent yet been explained and or noticed to the mass public.

So lets get this started, please post you're questions that you would like answered and we'll see if we can test theories and possible come up with some interesting outcomes. I'll start off this thread with a question in which I noticed while lurking the forums earlier tonight that had yet been answered. If any questions or myths have already been confirmed please don't hesitate to post and I'll update this accordingly. Thanks so much for everyones help! happy hunting!



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?

Has someone made a mythbuster YouTube video yet? Usually someone always does it for every game.

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 tried it. Didn't work for me but I was a Nord character. I didn't try it with a High Elf as I haven't played one yet.

(Note: Apologies for bringing the thread back on topic. Please go back to your random posts :wink_smile: .)

Labyrinthian the final boss fight for the College quest there I tried jumping into the pond to regain some mana. Three fire spells cast at me while I was under the water. First two had no effect but they may have just missed me. Third one killed me.

Nope, sorry. I shot a bandit in the knee and he simply died.

Answer: Unknown?

No, I've tried it before...

Yes... And I read somewhere that bear traps can be picked up and used in this way! Very cool!


Will wearing thalmor armor in the thalmor embassy, are you able to blend in with them and not be detected?

Sadly, no. But that would have been a neat touch.


will taking an arrow to the knee effectivly cuase someone to be a city guard?

Most definitely!

It is! There is a video on youtube of it. Can't remember the name. But try searching "Skyrim slow time arrow catch." I made a thread the other day to find out this very thing!

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...
