Lightning traps in Saarthal.

I was playing at night, no TV on (usually have that on), headset. Wasn't really expecting anything there.
Nearly had a heart attack.

When I walk out of the College only to find the mages slaughtered by a dragon that had just come.

A glitch that caused a dragon to fall out of the sky right in front of me.

Oh yeah I had that twice. But it was daytime ingame so not such a big deal.

A mudcrab was hidden in the dirt. Then he jumped up in front of me. It didn't help that it was the first mudcrab I encountered in the game so I had no idea what it was until he jumped out. Now that was scary [censored].

In the middle of a blizzard up in the high mountains around Winterhold, slowly trudging through the heavy snowstorm, and as the snowstorm ceased.. I came across the biggest scare in a game I've EVER had.


.... A goat running up against my leftside. I jumped about 2 foot in the air and hovered for a few seconds.

Those goats are stupid scary! I had a similar experience where in the middle of a snow storm he bolted from directly behind me. I literally said "What the [censored]..." out loud.

I came out of a cave with none of my gear (part of a quest, partly my own fault for wanting a challenge). I was then immediately set upon by TWO dragons. The random event generator really had it in for me :P

I stumbled upon this seemingly abandoned lighthouse in the middle of the night. Wandering in, I noticed that a series of brutal murders had taken place, and I got a quest to find out what happened to the people here. Walking around and reading a few journals laying about i learned they were attacked by some kind of creatures...and then I started hearing the noises. Little "tick-tick-tick" noises like fingernails on wood floor, and I could never find out where they were coming from. I could swear I saw shadows moving out of the corner of my eye... Eventually I did the quest and the feeling of fright didn't stay for long, it was a pretty good way of creeping me the hell out

Another is when I was quietly going about my business, leaving the College of Winterhold, walking into the courtyard, and strangely watching the Arch-mage dual wielding his mage, waltzing around the courtyard like a buffoon.


I was baffled, thinking he was just having some sort of weird glitch..

Who knew 2 minutes later a Blood Dragon would land RIGHT in the middle of the courtyard infront of me.

I went into Black Reach and was so dumb-struck by all the glowy lights that I didn't see the Dwemer centurian... it jumped out at me and I just about wet my pants.

Did he talk to you? I got uber close to one who didn't seem to want to fight. "Speak, if you have aught anything to say worth the listening" (Blood Dragon)

He was dead (but didn't burn away into a skeleton).

For me it was a silly one, i was walking through woods at night, nobody was around, i look behind me, turned back to carry on and suddenly there was a scream and someone's hand went right in my face whilst it casted freeze spell, it was a novice mage that scared the pants off me, i killed him in two hits but my poor old heart was rebounding around inside my rib-cage, thats what i get for using huge set of earphones and playing late at night :)

I was clearing out a necromancer cave, and had just cleared a room and was looting some stuff. Suddenly I heard a noise like a groan and turned around, freaked out, and started slashing the air.
It was only the necromancer I had rezzed with Reanimate Dead, but it made me [censored] myself anyway.
