Biggest WTF-moment happend yesterday.
Found a stash full of dwemer metal and stuff. Packed both my char and Lydia full with stuff and decided it was worth walking like a turtle all the way to Windhelm.
Packed all weapons on Lydia who up to this point always used a bow when fighting at range.

On the way we met a pack of wolves and I pulled out my bow. Then suddenly there was ALOT of lightning coming from behind striking the wolves one by one.
I turn around and see my dear Lydia (who dont accept anything other then heavy armor stuff) standing with one staff of sparks in one hand and another staff of lightning in the other

WTF?

My 3 top moments so far,

1: Mammoth stuck between two large rocks (i save game and run up to see whats going on) it doesnt attack me, just stands there trying to get unstuck, a giant walks up and shoves it free, looks at me as if to say "wtf are you looking at" then they both walk off together.

2: Two imperial horses fighting in a camp near a river, one dies, the other walks into the river where a Slaughterfish kills it.

3: Four Dragons within the space of 5 minutes.

It is. The enemies are called Afflicted. They are only in the one ruin as they are part of a quest.

I was fighting the most fearsome mudcrab I have ever seen, when suddenly I took an arrow to the knee. Then my sweetroll was stolen... I was like, wtf?

A mammoth killed a dragon...I did nothing to help.

My favorites so far have been; when I got a spinning slow-mo decapitation on a bandit, as his head was flying off he proceeded to shout "It's just a scratch!"; and the others involve sneaking and archery, I once shot a bandit in the head, didn't kill him, but he proceeded to give up the search immediately and loudly exclaimed "Must have been my imagination". Same situation, but I've also had them say "Must have been the wind", as if the wind flung the arrow in to their face...

I saw a mammoth in the distance fly 200 feet into the air, then fall down and die. It was pretty hilarious.

These are absolutely hilarious!

When an undead shouted at me and I dropped my bow.....I then went to the quick menu thing and chose my mace. I then went to put a poison on it and it said "You must equip a weapon in order to do that".......really, WTF?

1) Attempting to take on the Greybeards all at once. They freeze you with Ice Form, burn you, punch you as you stand up, then freeze you again before you get control again. And repeat until you're dead.

2) I took on a small group of bandits (5 of them) and killed the 3 near me, 1 shot one of the archers, whipped out my healing spells (I had like 25% left), then got smacked in the face by an arrow from the last archer. I flew over the walls of the fort and into a nearby pool of water.

3) Using Unrelenting Force (fully charged) on a Forsworn soldier and watching him fly off the edge of a very high cliff... only to stand back up and run back up the hill to me (he had like 75% health left).

4) Challening one of those Old Orcs on the road to a battle and thinking I was all that. I summoned my flame atronach and bound swords... only to be cleaved in half by his sword with one hit. I hadn't saved or exited a town/dungeon for about an hour by then either.

Oh Skyrim.... how I love thee.

Jumped off a mountain, went to use the Shout Become Ethereal, realized I should have used the shout before I jumped. Apparently you can't shout, scream, or curse while you are falling.

Several of these.
1). Was trying to make my way to some quest marker and found a random dungeon. Being the explorer I am, I decided to go through the dungeon instead of going straight to my quest marker. I explore the dungeon, get to the end, and find some Draugr Overlord or w/e that keeps 1 hitting me. Got tired of it so I jumped down a random escape route and found the exit. I get out of the dungeon to find 3 Frost Trolls waiting on me. So I take them one at a time and kill all of them. Feeling accomplished I continue to my destination...only to have a dragon land beside me seconds later, bite me in half, and throw me into a tree...

2). Last night I was heading to Winterhold and heard a dragon land behind me. So I jumped off my horse and turned to fight it. Being the warrior he is my horse runs towards the dragon to fight him....and then decides he no longer want's to be confined to walking on the earth so he jumps onto the dragon's wing and the dragon flys upwards...and my horse falls off the dragon's wing to his death after an entire 3 seconds of being airborne. At least I can say my horse learned to fly...

There was another that was an extreme "WTF" moment but I don't remember what it was at the moment...

Earlier on my Nord Barbarian got killed by a Forsworn spellcaster in the midst of a big battle. What made me blink several times, was the cinematic type view (after my Nord had been ice-spiked to death) showing my Character being resurrected from the dead by the Spellcaster. He just kind of rose up and then stood there...I almost tried to control him before I realised she had actually raised my character. Definite wtf.

WE ARE INVINCIBLE.

I was following him too to see what would happen, but the poor bugger never reached the camp. Two dragons flew in and ate him (and his cow).

Edit: And after that, they totally destroyed a nearby fort inhabited by bandits.

Gotta love random dragon encounters.


Walking through the plains near Whiterun, ahead of me is a large rock. All of a sudden a mammoth fly's up from the other side of the rock, going about ten feet in the air, letting out a large mammoth-yelp. He fell back to the ground without a sound, I climb the rock to see a giant whacking mammoths with his mace!

Finding Dwemer items in a Nordic Crypt (cuirass, helmet, etc). Or standard gold in both Dwemer/Nordic Ruins... instead of an ancient currency. Is the latter a standard for the time (and civilizations)? And the former: Dwemer/Nordic correlative in some way?

And oh... speaking of which. A pilgrim named Maurice whom tagged-along with me to some revered tree, wound up trying to take on a dragon and becoming its' snack. Once he was there, then I heard the dragon land, found Maurice gone and the dragon taking off to the mountains. Guess he didn't want seconds. :/

Getting my head chopped off at 80% hp by a master vampire.

I had a sort of WTF, LOL. OMG it let me do that?

Was catching butterflies (very manly activity of course) and decided to liven things up as a joke. Pulled out my bow, took aim, and BAM!!...the butterfly exploded and the wings fell to the floor. Had no clue the game would let me be so inhumane to those poor defenseless fluttery things. Mwa ha ha ha!!

On a brighter note, he's the self titled himself 'Monarch Slayer'. Nobody knows the truth.... and that's the way he'll keep it.

WTF DRAGON?! You've killed my horse?! AGAIN?!

A goat was walking along near me and it suddenly flung itself, limbs flailing, across my path and flew down the hill.
Dunno what that was all about... O.o

Also the time I had just walked out of the White Phial and one of the Blood on the Ice murder victims (who I had already previously stripped all her clothes and stuff) was lying in the little area with the merchants stalls; and there were about 5 people crouched around her seemingly groping her boobs. It made me actually laugh out loud. xD

I can remember 2

1. An elk was boudning along, jumped about 100 feet into the air looking like one of santa's raindeer against the sky, and promptly died on impact.

2. I turned aroun the corner of a giant rock and a dead mammoth fell on me from nowhere...

Also, VTOL mammoths.

Speaking of the Monarch Slayer….. he had another moment the other night he won’t be writing home about.

Was walking along the road one day, came across a peddler and her horse. No biggie, spoke to her, bought some goodies and attempted to go on my merry way. Apparently we were too close to a fort and here come the Forsworn. The peddler and her horse went to attack, I felt obligated to assist. Off to battle!

Sometime during battle and my bad aim, I hit the peddler. She and the horse became my enemy. That was the least of my concern considering they were busy with the Forsworn. In an attempt to hinder the last incoming Forsworn I cast a fire rune on the ground in hopes of damaging them before they reached me. That didn’t get to happen. My companion graciously killed them off with her bow before they reached the rune. Okay, we won, huzzah! Life goes on, right? The peddler was still considered my enemy until our weapons were sheathed, then business went on as friendly as normal.

The WTF was me NOT paying attention to her horse, which had chased a Forsworn off down the road. It came back, was still considered a hostile, stepped on the fire rune which exploded. Of course this caused both the horse AND peddler to be hostile. I just sort of stood there absorbing what had happened with my weapons sheathed while my companion (and that obnoxious dog Barbas) did a swift and most excellent job killing the peddler and horse. Just sighed, shook head, looted the body and moved on pretending it didn’t happen. Was just one of those days.

Walking down the road near Rorikstad, when a dead dragon drops out of the sky and lands on its back in front of me, and just lies there. No dissolve, no soul, just a big stiff. It was a named dragon, but I can't remember which one. I have a vague recollection that I fought and killed it about three real days and number of sessions earlier, but I'm not sure. There were no other dragons about, so it wasn't dragon on dragon action either.
