I didn't realize you could sprint until 180 hours into the game. SERIOUSLY! I kept thinking to myself, "man, horses are slow, I hope a mod comes out to make them faster."

i was fighting an archer on top of a tall tower and went in for a powerstrike only to realize that moving while doing this causes that extra dash when you swing. he sidestepped and i went flying right off the tower to the wonderful rocks way down below.

Attempting to FUS... ROHDAH a bandit off a cliff, and instead sending my horse (Frost) to his untimely death. It's unlikely he'll ever be forgotten because his corpse washed up near Whiterun and refuses to despawn, a constant reminder that I should use the Thu'um wisely.

I can remember when I have had a noob moment, but I did make the mistake of challenging 3 high ranking vampires on expert with no resistance to shock which they exploited. It didn't end well... but I won in the end.

I've accidently shouted people to their deaths unsuspectingly several times...the Z key is in a precarious position next to the SHIFT key.

I once used what I thought was Become Ethereal and jumped off the College of Winterhold's bridge... only to realize halfway down that I'd accidentally used Aura Whisper instead. Whoops. Reload!

My noob moment was just after learning the storm shout. I went back to whiterun to sell of the gear I had from going to learn it. I was in town so I decided to see if it was any good and if the courier would come with a message to find another one like he did for the storm shout.

Cue screams, angry gaurds, and enraged citizens rushing at me and one by one them dropping dead due to a thunderbolt from on high.

Though end result was still one not so 1337 Khajiit dovakin on the floor.

My biggest noob moment was when I got a certain shout in-game. The NPC was telling me to use it a few times in Dragonreach. I kept using it for about 5minutes. I even went to check forums and my strategy guide (thinkin' I might've done something wrong). After a few minutes, I scroll in my shout menu--only to realize I hadn't equipped it, but rather just favorited it (even though I thought I was using it) lol xD

I've been pushed off the bridge to Winterhold college by my companion.

I've also spawned on the bridge with a horse and thought "I know I will leave the horse here" and hit dismount... while on the bridge... DOH! If anyone has seen that bridge they will know it is only 1 horse width wide so I jumped to my doom.

So next time I thought "I'll turn the horse around and leave him at the bottom of the bridge". Horse then turns around... by flying in a half circle and we BOTH fell off the bridge.

I HATE THAT DAMNED BRIDGE!

OK - this is my first game like this, and I' m not a real gamer..... So when I started the game, I was thinking like a rational human would. In the opening salvo in Helgen, I somehow missed the remark about jumping out of the tower. Gotta understand - this whole experience was VERY new, and I was a bit rattled! I looked out that tower and thought " hell - I ain't jumpin' out of a perfectly good tower".

Eventually I found the yogscast that deals with the opening sequence.... Laughed out loud! Oh - I'm doing better now. .... Level 26 and climbing.

speaking of which, is there some way in THIS game and without background lore knowledge to know when there is immunity taking place?

Been playing TES games since the 90's. I have died in some most interesting ways and some pretty dumb ways.

However, last night takes the cake for dying in the dumbest manner possible. Ready?

I drowned in 3 feet of water trying to harvest a clam.

I didn't realize you can prospect ore just by hitting the ore vein with the pickaxe.
