death by skeevers and mudcrabs

When i was rushing through a dungeon, i was like "DAMN!! I AM ROCK!! NO ONE CAN KILL ME!!"

jump jump

and stuck beside the falmer's small hut on the dungeon

damn... load autosave...

I can't remember any embarrising deaths, but the only death I have had recent I was taken by suprise by a Master Volkihar Vampire. It was over before it began.

Took an arrow in the knee

Naw seriously i think i was fighting a bandit guy in a tower on master. He was nearly dead but i fell of the tower and died >_>

I jumped from a mountain and tried to use the parachute from BF3 (Before i played BF3)^^

OMG, someone needs to make a basejumping mod!
Maybe including those flying suits too. Be a blast to fast travel from high hrothgar to whiterun.

Being pushed off of Bard's Leap Summit by Barbas. I guess my character became Azzadal the bard, hahaha.

+1 I got lost trying to find Lydia then death.... quite embarassing!

Then there was the time I was scaling the heights of Skyrim at level 15, sat admiring the views from one of the watch towers, then noticed some pretty flying creatures which I said 'Oooooo their perty' out loud to until they suddenly attacked me, I was so shocked as I wheeled out my axe and shield that I didn't even notice the Wisp Mother firing her ice shards from behind me, one shot death I tried again and again, by the fourth attempt I took a flying leap at the WM only to overshoot and fly off the side of the mountain.... Darn Wisp Mothers, not very Motherly if you ask me! Moral of my torment on that mountain? Ignore the perty lights!!!

Me too.

Mustve been seriously ... drunk, no pun intended.

Mine was a half anhour battle with an ebony archer deadlord, when i finally bested him rushed to the treasure chest with only a few hp left, forgetting the floor traps.

One time I chased an elusive Hagraven all the way up to the top of her tower. She was cornered at the top and had nowhere to run. I let out a battle cry and sprinted towards her with my 2hander raised, and performed the mother of all sprinting power attacks. Except I missed her completely and ran straight off the edge of the tower.

Oh how the Hagraven laughed as she feasted on my broken corpse...

i would love to see a video compilation of all the deaths posted in this thread

Was in a dungeon, four or five bandits spotted me so i started launching arrows at them while stepping back, backed into a wall... You know the rest

Was in Dragon Bridge not too long ago and got into a bit of trouble with the local authorities. Laughing as I was sprinting away, I go for an epic escape of a leap down into the river below the bridge. It all turned bad once I noticed the cliff had a bit of an outward slope to it - just that little bit too far for me to reach the water.

Take two of the stunt, using whirlwind sprint this time, and all went well. Although, I almost cleared the river entirely and hit the land on the other side this time. Almost.


Another would be a time I was battling a couple of deathlords on a 'balcony' area at the top of some ruins. One of the damn things Fus-Ro-Dah'ed me just enough to slide me off the cliff. My character was desperately trying to climb to his feet whilst tumbling down the cliff, until half-way down when the game finally declared me dead, still sliding down the side of the mountain. The fall went for a good 20-30 straight seconds - it went to the loading screen before I even reached the bottom.

Whirlwindsprinted right off a cliff and saved that poor trolls life!

My brother: Eating every ingredient in his inventory to clear up weight, and dying from a combination of all the 'damage healths.'

Myself: Not embarassing on it's own, but early in the Companion's questline there was one woman who would get her sword through my torso every time I even got within reach, with shocking regularity. It quickly devolved into Benny hill with me dashing back and forth, trying to keep her away from me while I dealt with her less murderous friends. Amusingly, this took me straight past her several times.

I had 20 dragons under my belt, then went into the Ratway and some guy killed me with two punches. Ok, I can fight dragons, but someone can just punch me twice and I'm dead!

One of my characters died falling off the bridge of Valtheim Towers after killing all of the bandits.

Scewing up in a video game and dying in a funny way isn't embarrassing. It is sometimes frustrating: I fell off the Throat of the World on my tenth or so try at a certain epic battle. It didn't kill me, but it prevented me from winning. I promptly reloaded and went up a few levels before coming back to finish that quest.

Turned my horse around while at the edge of a cliff! (How I miss having my horse being able to back up.)

*Sneaks up to ledge*
*khajrio steps forward pushing me*
*falls to death*

"Noooooooooooooo! *Spalt*

Out of all followers... he always manages to push me off ledges.. LOL

He must be mad that've killed lydia several times with Relentless Shout (she loves rushing into that and going off ledges...)
Its NOT MY FAULT!!! WAHHHH!

Rolling down a steep hill after my horse died.

I was trying to kill a Giant. I had successfully pegged it with a couple of arrows from stealth before it saw me. But I stupidly stood in one spot as it charged me.

needless to say that his killing blow (he one-shotted me), plus the games' physics engine, launched my corpse so high into the air that I think it burned up on reentry...

I like running and jumping down the steps in the towns...I was running out of dragonreach, and hit the jump button on my keyboard at the top of the main flight of steps, but accidentally hit the shout/power button right next to it...and changed into a werewolf right in front of a bunch of guards, townfolk and Lydia....all of Whiterun wupped my butt.
