Annoying little things

[deanj832]

Ok....So skyrim is an excellent game right but what are the little things that annoy you
heres a couple of mine

1.Being arrested for no apparent reason (Whiterun when i havent stolen anything or hurt anybody and i didnt even have a bounty at the time) this has happened to me three times now!

2. A Dragon attacked winterhold and i accidentally hit one of the townsfolk with my sword during the melee so everybody decided to stop attacking the big fire breathing flying lizard and decided i was obviously a more important target!!!!

3. The wolves...my god the wolves are driving me crazy every 5-10 minutes 3 of the flea bitten things decide they want to try and eat me please please please if your going to attack me make sure you make it a challenge...waste of time and when soul trap is enchanted to a weapon waste of a damn soul gem

ok the next one has just confused me more than it is annoying...HOW COME i find it easier to defeat a giant flying fire breathing dragon....and a little while later I get my ass handed to me on a plate by a bear.........AND THE PEOPLE OF SKYRIM ARE TERRIFIED OF THE DRAGONS

You haven't met the strong dragons, epic ,ancient and frost. They are tough or maybe stop playing on a low setting. I have never heard of the 1st happening. The rest is annoying.

 

[Golgo_SPB]

When you kill someone "innocent" and the whole hold knew! then I get a bounty. There was no one there to witness the crime!

 

[Ironclad]

The first has happened to me: a mile from Whiterun I had finished dispatching a dragon, I swear nothing human got in the way, after I absorbed its soul a local guard ran up to me, "I saw that, citizen, you are under arrest, come with me"
Being Thane I got out of it but the guards parting words were, "fine, but don't let me catch you again"
WTF lol

For the third issue, just switch to a different weapon. The game pauses when you switch, so no biggie.

There was a development problem when making the game the chickens were acting like. human npc 's and reporting crimes. D

Epic dragons? Do you play on PC? Also, you can fight frost dragons at lvl 10ish. Easy.

Most annoying ever..........marrying Vorstag, going back to Proudfoot Manor to find him there telling me he was going to open a store...........What!!!!! We are badass adventurers not store keepers, think that guy is going to meet a bad end very soon.

Same when I heard this from Farkas. Honey, you are a frakkin werewolf, have the most badass voice and want to sell sweetrolls? For Talos sake...

The other thing, happened to my new character Nara-Mea. While three hired thugs were trying to kill her in Falkreath, everyone even the guards were just standing there, saying "Somebody do something!". After she hardly finished them off, those idiots were just looking at the bodies "Oh... what happened?".
In my mind, I could hear Nara-Mea asking one of the guards:
-Why didn't you help me?
-Because F you, that's why.

 

[Guerito]

One of the things I find mildly annoying is that the loaded soul gems don't stack properly. I have what feels like hundreds of "Grand Soul Gem (Grand)" but each one is listed separately. This is a pain in the butt when I am trying to sell things from the "Misc" tab. I'm using the SkyUI mod, I haven't tried what it looks like without.

 

[Skullrattla]

Guerito, there's a mod for that.... Renames items properly. . .

2. A Dragon attacked winterhold and i accidentally hit one of the townsfolk with my sword during the melee so everybody decided to stop attacking the big fire breathing flying lizard and decided i was obviously a more important target!!!!

That is truly arggh, and FOLLOWERS GETTING IN THE WAY , blocking doorways and narrow passages or getting in the line of fire... or just getting lost and me realizing quite some time later... and having to think about all the gear they are carrying and whether it is worth it to reload an earlier save. . .

The "AI" is truly laughable in the game. And some things have just not been thought through. In many shops there is gear lined up right in front of the vendor, under their face, if you’re in 3rd person view it is easy to accidentally click on the gear instead of the vendor, and steal it, and then get into trouble.

i wouldn’t have minded the wolves if they didn’t seem to fly around half the time!!! Is this because of my low-end computer?


The other BIG annoyance for me is all about the user interface on the PC being the same as for consoles ... mouse problems, hotkey problems , problems. There's various different ways to accept or reject a dialogue box, (Yes, OK, Tab, Esc) but they are not interchangeable... leaving you fiddling around when you just want to get things done. Yes i do want to travel there, yes I do want to craft that item YES! What happened to double-click!?!? ...

Being able to accidentally drop your equipped weapon during battle if you 're browsing the inventory to charge your weapon and you press R instead of T, they are next to each other ffs...The one place where a confirmation dialogue box should come up! "Are you sure you want to drop your equipped weapon in combat or are you just spazzing out?"

etc etc....

Unfortunately none of these annoyances seem to be fixed with the patch, as they probably require more of a major overhaul that Beth will leave to modders to do for no pay....

EDIT: sorry, I just remembered the thread is about little annoyances and I'm ranting about big ones!!!

 

[Skullrattla]

Do the wolves respawn? Would be nice if they could be exterminated, much as I am fully pro- ecology in real life!

 

[Nocte Aeterna]

They could at least add more enemy subtypes. And less wolves.

 

[Perkless in Skyrim]

Speaking of wolves ...

This actually applies to killing anything on a hill but it happens most often with wolves since they seem to breed faster than rabbits. I find myself chasing after a dead body sliding like its on an ice slick. SPRINTING to catch up, in fact. I have to skin them on the fly or I'll lose a lot of ground. If it's so slick I should be ice skating to my destination.

Dialogue. Hearing the same greetings over and over. NPCs (Farengar in particular) not recognizing that I have in fact become a member at the College in Winterhold and am even quite possibly the Arch Mage.

Loading screens. I purposely play with no fast travel to cut down on this but if I have lots of loot to sell its unavoidable.

Followers which, for some inexplicable reason refuse to fight back even when being gnawed on by a wolf.

Wolves. Wolves wolves wolves. Traveling from one hold to the next I accumulated over 10 wolf pelts. They can be one-shotted by a half competent noob. They're EVERYWHERE. Some of them sound downright sickly when they howl. Must be from overpopulation.

I LOL every time any creture flls dead on the side of the mountain and starts sliding down it. A lot of times they land belly first, legs outstretched, like they're body louging.

the more annoying thing than the body surfing is when they disappear into the landscape.

Yeah this is one of the more annoying things that the AI fails. Hellow I'm the Arch-mage, or the Companions leader, or the Thieves Guild Leader... not some whelp to get the sweetrolls.

Followers which, for some inexplicable reason refuse to fight back even when being gnawed on by a wolf.

Seen this way to often. Especially if I'm in sneak mode. The follower will run up, crouch down with it's back to the enemy and the enemy will walk right up to it and smack it.

 

[Spellsword_Kale]

Not being able to say 'no' to joining a faction. T_T I picked up a 'talk to the leader of the Companions' quest somewhere and was like 'well, alright' but then when I go talk to him... there's no second dialogue option to be like 'actually, nope, not interested in joining!'. Like. Seriously, how hard could it be to add in a small dialogue option that ends the quest without making you join? Aargh. Wouldn't even be an issue if I didn't want my quest journal to look neat and tidy,

And don't even get me started on how the major questlines force you to automatically accept each next quest as it comes up. -___- But that's a BIG annoyance, not a little one.

 

[Skullrattla]

This mod doesn't quite fix the lack of friction on the ground for dead bodies, but it stops dead bodies from getting blasted back so much, or at all...

Picking up a wooden bowl by accident and having to have all the effort in the world to go to misc and drop it.

 

[Mystalvision]

Yes, the soul gems are a pain, Dovahkiin. My companion carries all my Grands and I don't put them back in my inventory until I know I'm gonna take out draugr lords or something.

 

[juniperbugg]

accidentally picking up the bucket by vex's head in the thievs guild then listening to everyone tell you your causing trouble....its the thieves guild!!!!!!! and it was an accident >.<
