Your WTF moments :)

Was on a remote path coming down from the mountains. Got attacked by wolves and decided I'd like their pelts for some crafting xp.
Dropped a couple of books and stuff to make room and got told off for littering!! Heheh.

I got two regarding loot, both happened in Whiterun.

I once dropped two swords on the streets. A few moments later a guard walked up to me and told me that it is forbidden to let weapons lay
around as others "might hurt themselves".

And in the Inn in Whiterun i dropped a stolen Battleaxe and proceeded to talk to the Innkeeper as an old lady walked up to me to give me back my axe that
she thought i "accidentaly dropped" I tried to recreate this, but the lady just elft the inn the second time.

Both situations were just hilarious and i appreciate the efforts the Devs put into this to give the game some kind of soul :)

Mine was coming across a temple in the wilds and suddenly a god is speaking to me. Wont say more as it will spoil it for others.

I remember running from Whiterun to Riften, when I was suddenly attacked by a bear.
It jumped towards me, but I used Ice Form. The bear was frozen and flew metres above me
and flew straight into a river behind me... and then proceeded down a waterfall! That was epic.
But it happened again a few moments later, only this time around, the bear landed on a bridge instead.
He was however quickly dispatched by my astronach! :D

Are you serious? A guard said to not lay a weapon on the ground because people might hurt themselves? And this is in Skyrim, land of the Nords? Oh my god, Bethesda is becoming a big melting pot of hippies, soccer moms and liberals. :shakehead:


Seriously? :rolleyes: Did I miss something? Because it makes sense. A weapon or object laying in the path were people walk and children run. Do you see the potential for danger? Or are you speaking sarcastically? :teehee:

I won't even comment on the rest of your nonsense.

A dragon attacked while I was in some town (I forget which one - it was one of the larger open towns with gaurds). I had just recently used a dragon soul to power my Call Storm shout (or ice storm or whatever its called). Excitedly I switch to the shout and make it rain (literally). I then noticed that there were about 20 red dots on the navigation bar and the whole village was attacking me. Apparently they didn't appreciate me calling down some lightning on all their houses!

Watched a guard in white run just swim across that little pool area below the bridge by the castle. Went down to see why and there was a skeleton floating there :whistling: Guard just swam past it and walked back around in a circle

So I thought that it was a good idea to go up close to a giant and see what he would do. It turned to be not a very good idea. He just stomped me and killed me immediately.
Dragons attacked Riverwood.....twice.....both in a 30 minute time period.
I fast traveled to Solitude and when it got done loading, a dragon spawned on the ground, dead. I didn't know what just happened, but hey, at least I got a free dragon soul!

After clearing out Bleak Falls Barrow, I went back to Riverwood and proceed to sell stuff to Lucan, make some stew, then walked over, talked to alvor, did some smithing. Day turned to night, and I was walking over to the lumber mill for some reason (I don't recall why, I think I wanted to try swinging a sword I had just made). I see some guy walking around Riverwood I'd never seen before. Mouse-over reads "hired thug" and I'm like, "who the heck is this guy?" so I walk up to him, try to talk to him, all he says is "Humrph" or something. I'm thinking, well, thats odd, and all of a sudden I see him pull out his great axe and shout that he is going to destroy me or something. :blink: Then I notice two associates of his, in heavy armor, pull equally large weapons; then I see the Whiterun guard yell something at them and start fighting, and all heck breaks loose. Apparently they were hired by someone I don't remember for stealing something I don't remember stealing. :confused:

The funny thing was the guard pretty much vanished for the entire fight. No idea what happened to him. But it was hillarious to see how all the townsfolk shouted in surprise and ran away while I desperately fought three bounty hunters to the death in the middle of the Riverwood streets. :rolleyes:

I had a Mud Crab take on a Frost Dragon near Solitude! At first the Dragon just looked at him like a dog looks at something confusing (Twists his head to & fro). then when the Crab got a swipe in the Dragon blow him away with a full force Ice Breath! I was laughing so hard the Dragon nearly killed me!

My other WFT moment happen in The Reach. Three Forsworn bandits jumped me. I took out one of them but the other two were doing a number on me. Out of no where a horse strides up and attacks one of the Forsworn allowing me to down the other. The horse distracted the third long enough for me to kill him. As I searched the bodies the Horse ran off and couldn't be found later.

Thank you War Horse!

I was in a dungeon on a balcony and an archer was shooting at me from below. I drew my sword and jumped over the balcony pressing "attack", thinking we'd just have a normal fight when I'd landed. Oh no. It immediately cuts to a finisher of my character landing on top of the archer and skewering him through the neck with his sword. It was amazing. I think I actually shouted "oh nice one!" :toughninja:

Are you serious? A guard said to not lay a weapon on the ground because people might hurt themselves? And this is in Skyrim, land of the Nords? Oh my god, Bethesda is becoming a big melting pot of hippies, soccer moms and liberals. :shakehead: With the Whiterun inn, that sounds reasonable. This is a new engine they're using and it's in its infancy, so things like that lady returning your sword is just part of the flawed system Creation uses. With the technology Bethesda is using, it's pretty difficult for NPCs to tell whether you dropped something deliberately or accidentally. Even in real life, that's hard to ascertain. I suggest that with improvements, if an NPC is curious as to why Player dropped his weapon, the NPC can decide whether to approach Player regarding his weapon or not. Like, the NPC can ask you why you dropped your weapon on the ground.
You do realise its not a "new" engine right? Its just modified gamebryo that they decided needed a new name.
Also are you seriously whining about this? And saying because the "not new engine but renamed and modified engine" is first used with Skyrim the NPC's wont ever know if you dropped something on purpose or not? Tell me youre trolling..

If not trolling then I gotta say incredibly stupid..

I've had a couple WTF moments with projectiles. Specifically, ones that have hit me.
(http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1268058-persistent-projectiles/)

Last night I got nailed with an ice spell. A while later I switched to 3rd person, and the ice projectile was was lodged perfectly in the center of my face, running from the front of my helm and out the back. It was a giant blue glowing mess that streamed frost behind it. It made 3rd person positively ludicrous to watch and I couldn't get it to go away!

I forget the name of the city but it was just outside the keep where you are pronounced a Thane and assigned Lydia as housecarl. I was hopping around trying to reveal the corners of the local map and since I was away from most NPCs I decided to trigger a shout with my itchy trigger finger. Lydia was just catching up with me but I casually noticed a guard walking towards me as well. I didn't think anything of it until as I was passing him he locked me into a conversation and calmly but sternly informed me that I should never shout in town like that again as it was making the townfolk nervous. I had two dialog options. The first was something along the line of "Get used to it, because there is more where that came from." and "Sorry, it won't happen again." I was so shocked that an NPC had called me out on something like that that I genuinely felt like a child that had done something wrong. Despite wanting to defy him I wasn't able to overcome the feeling that he was right and thus begrudgingly agreed that there would be no more shouting in town.

I'd have to say, my WTF moment happened before I even got the game, when I found out a family obligation was planned for me over the 11/11/11 release date. So, had to reroute the game somewhere else, got the game on 11/11/11 and still haven't gotten to play it. :swear:

As I stepped out of the inn during my first visit to Solitude, I saw a random female NPC zoom past me and fly across the city, finally smashing into wall.

Falling down from a mountain breaking my horses legs killing it(70 yards), continuing to fall without horse(70 yards more), landing on my back rolling down into a lake surviving.
That was awesome.

I was in a forsworn dungeon/cave for some quest (or so i thought), came across a point where some forsworn were pelting me with arrows across a bridge. Being a 2h warrior, I decided to try and get close. The only way to get there was through a hallway, and as soon as i turned to go through it some foresworn archer activates the guillotines. So I just stood there while he shot arrows at me from across the hallway. Then all of a sudden, he rushes me and gets chopped by his own trap.

I was about to kill my first dragon (dragon rising). During the final briefing with that female Jarl guard and some other soldiers in the town I was challenged for a duel. I replied something like "not interested" since I wanted to finish the quest. But that guy said "I won't accept a no" and started to attack me.
Well, I was about to prepare for the fight when that poor fool got [censored] immediately by the dragon defense... at least I enjoyed the show :-)

I just got attacked by the dragon Viinturuth, who happened to be invisible for whatever reason.
Saw him in the distance just flying around, was sprinting to get to him when he just disappears in midflight.
Im looking around for him when the ground shakes, indicating he landed, but I cant see him. Then I get a facefull of frost breath.
My archer companion knows he's there and shoots him, so by the positon of a couple of floating arrows, I could at least know his general location.
What is even stranger, I swear I had recently killed a dragon by that name, shortly after it was resurrected.

I decited to go to Whiterun and finish all my quests in and surrounding this city, i walked into an inn and started drinking with someone....

*SPOILERS*

My plan epicly failed as i woke up in a different city entirelly... i find out i appearently walked in drunk and wrecked the temple i woke up in.. :D
I cleaned to the best of my capability, then walked out of the temple, on my way out of the temple i see a woman being murdered right infront of my eyes by Forsworn.. she didnt do any crime other than try and buy overpriced food.
I investigate.. dig up the dirt and all that behind the murder, no one seems to like that im doing that and the guards take me to jail.. i need to get the trust of the man i knew was behind the murders, the king in rags, so he can help me escape..
my barbarian had to swallow his few morals but big pride.. and do as asked, killing a man he did now wish to see dead..

But it the end the needed satisfaction comes, as when i got my armor and weapons back i turn on Frostworn and the king in rags killing them all.. a few guards getting the pointy end of my sword aswell.. :D i escape and curse the city, a night to [censored] remember indeed !
