Had to dismiss my follower, I thought I would try the East Empire woman. Met a Bard in the wilderness, took out my 'weapons', grand healing and ebonyflesh, ooh threatening. She takes her sword out, rushes over to him, he takes his weapon out, they go at it. I unequip, they carry on. I tried everything to keep him alive, calm, fear, healing, but he was doomed from the start.
This was just after she killed a bunch of horkers I had used animal allegiance on, same thing, took out healing, she takes out sword and attacks. She is a loon, plain and simple. What was that Dragon Age quote about armed hokerrs? Kharjo wasn't this pugilistic, maybe I'll try to find him again.

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?
You have to realize that the Dwemer have been gone for thousands and thousands of years. All of their discovered ruins have been looted several times over and have surely had different inhabitants over the years. Bandits move in, leave gold around, suddenly animunculi wake up and start killing them off, or Falmer step in and wipe them out, etc.

As far as armor goes, I'd say the Dwemer armor we encounter in-game is not Dwemer-crafted, but rather crafted by one of the present-day races as replicas of true Dwemer armor. After all, the player can craft Dwemer armor at a fairly low level, and books go on about how anyone can only ever make cheap replicas by melting down Dwemer metal. True Dwemer-crafted armor is probably long gone.

I have seen mammoths stack on top of each other a few times. It always end with the one on top being launched into space. My theory is mammoth satellite is how guards always know what bandits are hanging out all the way across skyrim.

One day I was standing on the lakeside balcony of my house in Riften and enjoying the morning weather. Soon enough I was accosted by a naked courier who had come to tell me that a random farmer I had sold potatoes to had died the other day and left me some money. When the man was done delivering his message, he turned and entered the back door of my own house, strolled through my living room where my wife was sitting, and excused himself through the front door.

As soon as he was gone, of course, I made a point to talk to my spouse of the little incident...

That argonian with the dodgy money-making idea in Solitude has now set up shop in the alchemists there. He lurks behind the counter still suggesting that I put a fire out, while the shop keeper keeps telling him to leave. He's been there over a game week now.

There was a dragon who got stuck near a bridge, fighting a bandit, and wolf, who then started burning up a moment before I killed it.

A funny one was a dragon attacking and guards and people attacked it and a goat. They killed it.

Was doing the steal the horse quest and a dragon landed and attacked the mercenaries, which was lucky. Then it came back and Frost the horse started fighting it, lol.
Did'nt realise Frost was the horse till after I got the papers, good thing I killed it before he died.

There have beena few were giants hit her into space, lol.

In a deleted character, I walked up to High Hrothgar.
I met every kind of enemy you could think of. Sabre cats, bears, a dragon at the top. They were waiting for me, lol.

Jaree-Rai the dodgy argonian wrecker, was invisable for a long time. You could hear him, but not see him. Sometimes see his shadow. Walking round town, hear him, see a outline or shadow but invisable.

Finally found him stood against a wall.

He went into her shop on mine too. Wandering round the back of the counter as she tells him to leave, lol.

I was in the middle of battling a strangely aggressive giant. I've backed away with Ethereal so I could put up Stoneflesh, and suddenly I see J'zargo rapidly ascending to the heavens. I knew this was common with giants so I just went in to finish it off and reload the save. Thing is, J'zargo, fully intact, landed about 50 feet from the corpse as I landed the killing blow....

I honestly took a triple-take for that. :ohmy:

Yesterday I was shooting arrows at a pyromancer who was throwing fireballs at a dragon who was breathing fire on a cave bear who was fighting my horse. The dragon was eventually killed by a frost troll.

I mentioned this on another thread (the "most embarrasing death" one):

I was sneaking around some fort when I got into a fight with a bandit. It quickly became a fight between me and 5 or 6 other bandits. As soon as I killed one of them with my sword, his body started spinning around the room quite violently, knocking things off tables and whatnot. It was such a WTF moment that I forgot the other bandits were still attacking me and before I knew it, I was dead.

I just had my WTF moment. I walked into my Breezehome house, and there was a Guard in there. He said something, map updated and then he left. I never seen anyone go into my house. So Guards can come into your house now? WTF?! At least now I know who is to blame for knocking the rabbit leg (or what ever it is) on the ground now. :P

Going back to the Companions and having Ria, Tovar, and Athis attack me.

After clearing out the Druadach Redoubt I met some friendly Forsworn on the road.

As I am about to enter Blind Cliff Bastion, a Stormcloack Courier comes out the door.

I was walking on a road and some outlaw bandits ambushed me and that stupid fugitive tried talking to me at the same time and since it doesn't pause the world anymore I died trying to exit the conversation.
That happen to me as well but it was one of those dam couriers.

Sinding walks out of the Falkreath prison(after I did the quest). He runs out of town and stops, returns to stand over a dead guard and say "What a waste." and then runs up the hill once more.

I was like: Da ****?

Happened to me, too. Only it was a dragon attaking me.

So then I reloaded the game. And it happened again.

So then I reloaded the game. And it almost happened again. The third time I was very quick about getting out of the conversation. Then the hunter showed up and helped me fight the dragon.

I was trying to sneak up on a couple of bandits in a cave and plant an arrow in one of them for a quick kill so I would only have to deal with one in melee. They must have heard me, because the both of them immediately detected me and started rushing. I was able to get a shot off befroe I had to switch to Sword and Board, but as I could no longer get the sneak multiplier, the guy didn't go down, I wasn't even sure I had hit him at all. I did notice though when he finally came within melee range I saw that I had indeed hit him, as an arrow was lodged solildy in the middle of his forehead. I guess he was a bandit with more bone than brains in his head, LOL.

If an NPC starts their conversation script as you open the door, they come in with you. But it looks like they were already there because the cell loads with them present. I would guess that sheer lucky timing meant that the script had loaded - and thus triggered the follow - but the words hadn't started yet. But I often get guards following me into Breezehome and Honeyside.

I swear, J'zargo is the Rasputin of Skyrim. He's survived violent atmospheric reentry, mobs of Draugr, falling from High Hrothgar, and taking a dragon to the knee...and everywhere else (it actually did the kill animation, picking him up and throwing him, and he just got back up and punched it in the face). :mage:

And still:
"J'zargo is ready for more adventure!" :sorcerer:
