Your WTF/LOL Moments?

Are vampires in the Elder Scrolls universe allergic to garlic? I've been wondering that as I don't actually remember anything that says they are in Skyrim. I've been wondering if they threw out that rule for their universe because it would be too difficult.

But...what's so difficult about simply NOT including garlic cloves in places with vampires, and adding an effect to the alchemy of garlic that gives protection against Sanguinare Vampiris?

I was watching Alduin in Helgen, standing on that big rck outside the keep, and he decided to land right on top of me.

It's a good thing getting crushed to death is not a thing in Skyrim...

*rolls on the floor laughing*




I do believe Whiterun is better off without him.

Lol, I got the same mission a few days ago and was like WHAAAT. He apparently ended up in a Falmer dungeon, they probably didn't appreciate him asking about cloud district. I swear the man has the memory of a fish, one moment he's thanking me for getting him out of that place, and the next he's spouting his usual nonsense.

Another lolz moment was Louis LeTrash and his army of clones outside Whiterun, but that was patched eventually.

I've shot dragons that completely ignored me. Even as I'm shooting arrows at it, it ignores me and attacks some random bystander. I've also seen mammoths charge someone, only for it to run into and up a tree.

Once when I was leaving Whiterun, an entire dragon skeleton appeared out of nowhere and fell from the sky, half embedding itself in the wall, and half smothering a guard, who in no way seemed concerned by his predicament, nor did the lady who casually pushed her way past the mound of bones and enter the city without a word....

Also, I always enjoy reverse-pickpocketing poisons and frenzy potions onto people. Always gives me the giggles. I hope this doesn't reflect on me as a person... ._.

I wasn't really sure where else to put this, but it's an interesting anecdote, I think.

So, I think pretty much everyone, Stormcloak or Imperial, will agree that Thane Erikur of Haafingar is a monumental dickhole.

After having completed nearly every questline, I am now doing things for fun. I picked his key out of his pocket while he was in court at the Palace, and proceeded to empty his home of possessions. Everything not tied down was taken.



Edit: I decided to place some of his possessions in the Thalmor HQ at Castle Dour. That ought to (at least in-universe) ruffle some feathers.

I thought for a while the naked courier was a normal aspect of the game. I couldn't stop laughing when I realized it was a glitch. It just seemed off, but I thought it seem legitimately part of the game.

I really wish I had of been recording when this happened. So, I had just finished dungeon diving with Farkas to retrieve the fragment of Wuuthrad. We fast travelled to Whiterun gates and then all hell broke loose when a vampire and his thralls attacked. There were citizens running everywhere as well as a few travelling merchants (I have Immersive Patrols which ads travelling merchants with two body guards).

Anyway, one of the merchant's guards must have accidentally hit me and Farkas took offence to that and proceeded to hack her to pieces. The poor merchant ran off screaming. I found him cowering in front of Belathor's shop and unfortunately so did Farkas. So then the merchant and the remaining guard ran off up the stairs, screaming, with Farkas brandishing his great sword behind them.... towards Jorrvaskr. Where Vilkas and Aela were waiting for me to arrive for my ceremony. They made quick work of the two. It was awful and hilarious at the same time. Only good thing to come out of it, besides the hilarity of the situation, was the deceased merchant's fine loot.

The biggest WTF/LOL moment I've had so far was after I did the quest where you have to steal a horse from the Black-Briar lodge east of Riften. The quest went pretty well, and I got the horse to Letrush and successfully completed the quest. Then, just as I was leaving and Letrush was about to get on the horse, we get randomly attacked by an "afflicted refugee". This was in the middle of the night, in the woods with trees and brush blocking the view half the time, and I could hardly see what was going on, and all sorts of wild crap happened in the ensuing melee. I think I hit both Letrush and the horse with my sword, probably repeatedly on both counts since Letrush at least would have hit back and I probably continued hitting him thinking he was the attacking refugee. At some point I realized that the refugee was dead and I was fighting Letrush, who had sunk halfway into the ground; he was only visible from the waist up. I sheathed my sword when it seemed like I couldn't kill him, and he stopped fighting me, but he kept following me around and getting right in my face; he wouldn't go away, and would follow me when I tried to go away. He looked so ridiculous, down there sticking out of the ground looking up at me. So I attacked him again, trying to kill him and make him go away. I also attacked the horse and tried to kill it, just out of desperation. It was at this point that things became really weird/funny. The HORSE attacked Letrush. So, there's Letrush, the human stump half-stuck in the ground, fighting the horse that I delivered to him. Letrush loses the fight, and yells, at the horse, "I yield, I cannot best you!". The last I saw of them, Letrush was "running" away screaming and the horse was chasing him and trying to finish him off. I was just sitting there like "W... T... F... just happened here?", and then I finally set out to leave the Rift because I had incurred a 1,025 gold bounty in all this madness and I couldn't possibly pay it off right then.

On the one hand I was annoyed at how buggy things got, but on the other hand it was really quite funny, especially later when I wasn't feeling annoyed anymore. And the next time I went to Riften, after I had filled my pockets elsewhere, I managed to pay a guard something around 500 gold to get them to drop the bounty since I'm in the Thieves' Guild.

There was also a smaller WTF/LOL moment I had, where I was coming down from High Hrothgar and, somewhere along the road down the mountain, there was a very bizarre thing going on with a goat. It must have fallen from a higher area or something, because its front half was stuck in the ground like Letrush's lower half had been; only the goat's hindquarters and back legs were sticking out of the ground, and it was moving all over the place in an almost dancing motion with this sound effect continuously going on like it was running or otherwise hitting the ground. I attempted to kill it to make it stop, but nothing I did would work. So I just left. It wasn't still there the next time I came to the mountain.

Just had another funny moment today. I was heading east from Rorikstead to Whiterun to unload the enormous amount of junk that myself and Lydia are carrying. All of a sudden this dead guy comes flying from the north and lands directly in front of me. I turn north and I see the indicator that there's a giant camp somewhere in that direction. The dead guy was a bandit chief, and I got 104 gold off of his corpse. It was so random, I was just cracking up.

I hope it's not against the rules to make three posts in a row on the same thread or anything (note that they're not all on the same day).

The other day I was doing Jaree-Ra's quest outside Solitude where I put out the lighthouse fire and then go to the resulting shipwreck to "collect my share". When I got there, all the bandits on the deck of the ship were screaming and attacking someone/something. At first I thought it was me, then I realized it wasn't. Then I thought it might have been Lydia, but it wasn't. What could it have been? A horker? A dragon? A wolf?

No. It was a fish, a slaughterfish. Apparently I had ticked one off without noticing while swimming to the ship, and it turned aggressive and tried to attack me. The bandits on the deck somehow noticed this, despite the fact that the fish never surfaced, and went into attack mode themselves. I never even saw the fish, only the indicator at the top of the screen showing its health bar.

When I got up on deck to check out the ruckus, I found three bandits crowded up at the front of the ship pointing their bows into the water and yelling things like "you never should have come here!" and "a true Nord never surrenders!", and various other taunts and declarations of their own bravery as they valiantly fought against this... fish.

I'm new to Skyrim, so don't know all the stock characters by name. On my current PT, as I was headed to Ivarsted, I saw that Imperial entourage that was headed to a wedding. They were being attacked by a Sabre cat. By the time my PC and Lydia arrived on scene, all had been killed except for the nasty woman. After killing the Sabre cat, my PC tried to talk to her. First she said "go speak to my husband" (who was on the ground dead). Then she threw out her ever nasty "get away from me, Skyrim trash!" (My PC is a Breton.) After that, I wanted to kill her, but she wouldn't fight back despite her combative attitude. I tried setting my PC to fistfight, but she wouldn't fight back --- and Lydia kept offing her with a battle axe! I ultimately opted to just leave her be. It should be interesting to see if she ever makes it to that wedding...

Lustige Momente [DEUTSCH/GERMAN] :

Just did a dark brotherhood assassination. Shot this guy down with an arrow in the middle of nowhere. He landed in the river. I walk up to loot him and suddenly he unsnags from the rock and is careening down the river. Obviously.. I follow. Well, over the falls he goes! I watch him disappear in a spray of water and blood.

Another WTF moment. Get on this bandits horse (who's dead, so MINE. My horse.) Find something interesting along the trail, get off and this horse levitates, and shoots off into the distance. Bye! Suddenly a dragon roars and I look up to see this floating horse attacking the airborne dragon as he flies around. Betcha he didn't expect that when he woke up this morning.

My biggest WTF of the game happened today. Fast traveled to Rorickstead. There was a random dragon encounter. I had that one half health when two more swooped in. The entire little town was fighting them. Suddenly two cows come charging in and attack one of the dragons! I'm hacking away and shooting arrows when a sabre cat jumps on me, my dear Lydia cuts it away from me and a dragon grabs it in it's jaws! So here we are, three dragons on the ground with the whole village yelling and hollering, my horse attacking, two cows attacking, a wounded sabre stalking around jumping townsfolk, when a giant with Gleda the goat comes charging in and starts thumping the dragons. One dragon dies, the townsfolk cheer for me absorbing the soul. I lay a finisher on another dragon, and the town starts attacking me. I retreat and let them deal with everything on their own. What a game!

Lawl there's a weird thing that happens to me with my paralyzing perk for my bow and it makes spawning deer paralyzed when they spawn. One day I was hunting deer and the paralyzed deer decided to fling itself and do a backflip while dodging my perfect shot in slow motion from the zoom in.

Chilling at my Breezehome in Whiterun, then heading out for little shopping when suddenly a wild HALF NAKED Courier hands me a "letter from a friend!" He was wearing a hat and boots, no clothes! Ahhah, these little funny moments make this awesome game even better!

Now tell me yours!

Well I was traveling along away from whiterun when suddenly a dragon attacks a giant. Bad ideal for the dragon, because when that giant hit him it was an amazing amusing homerun. Unfortunately for me the giant was already pizzed off so he hit another homerun this time with me. So I went from laughing to cursing...
