Your WTF/LOL Moments?

[Erqiosk]

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!

 

[Mighty Pecan Pie]

Fus Ro Dah Frost trolls of mountains. first time I did that, I couldn't hold my laugh

 

[Saozig]

I used to think the naked courier thing was part of the game and would think "OK, it seems a bit cold in Skyrim for Ancient Greek-style couriers but then again they've got soldiers in Romanesque armor so hey". Almost made me sad when I found out it's just a glitch.

I always get a laugh when I get caught pickpocketing someone and they say something funny. Once in the Grey Quarter one of the Dunmer caught me and said, 'You, my friend, need practice." Vignar grey-mane caught me once and I can't remember exactly what he said but he sighed loudly and said something like my Sneaking was pathetic.

Recently my Adventurer was heading to Rorikstead from Markarth and there was that nobleman on the road that you pass by from time to time. Except he and his horse were spinning around in the air like they were caught in a tornado and then flew off over the mountain. The Imperial soldier with him was just walking along like nothing happened and when my Adventurer interacted with him, he was just all "Hmm? Yeah?" Dude, your charge just flew off over the mountain--show an ounce of dutiful concern!

Off the north coast there's a glacial island that if you're on the neighboring island, you often see a horker on it that is close to falling off a tall glacial edge. I always kill it with an arrow and watch it fall.

The first time I checked out the Chill, I went in, found a lone Frost Atronch, killed it, looked around and was like, "Ok, seen this, moving on." Walked outside, completely unsuspecting, and before I knew it, four Frost Atronachs converged on me. Ended up having to flee--damn, those things can move fast when they're pissed off.

After completing the companions quest line, casually walking arounf Jorrvaskr and I hear, " You still have to prove yourself whelp ", turn around and there is Skorr standing there all new and sparkly, very confusing.
In the I'll Met by Moonlight quest, that first area in the cave with the dying Khajiit.. He jumps up and becomes aggresive, little did I know a vampire had followed me down the cave, after he cut its head off he speaks to me as scripted and then dies, I thought it was kinda funny.

I always laugh when humanoid enemies say something along the lines of "You'll never get the best of me!" or "You never should have come here!", etc, right as I kill them. It's just like, uh, were you not paying attention for the last two minutes of me beating your skull in?!

I also love pickpocketing the dude (can't remember his name at the moment) who works the Skyforge. He just turns around and basically says "I caught you!" and then goes back to work. No guards get called or anything.

 

[Verac]

had 3, yes. 3! dragons attack me all of different types frost. blood. ancient. i even better after i slew the last one it glitched and wouldent die just flew around like the troll dragon and didnt attack showing a 0% hp bar

 

[Nocte Aeterna]

I once bore witness to a giant launching a sabre cat into orbit. Fun times.

 

[kyleekay]

Thought of another one. Once outside of Whiterun I saw a Giant, Spriggan and a Troll fighting one another. The Giant came after me but once I killed it, I witnessed the Spriggan and Troll beating the bejeesus out of each other. It made me think they got into an argument at a local Monster Pub and then told one another "Meet me in the field in twenty minutes, punk!"

 

[The Laoch]

I love hitting people with an arrow and hiding. 30 seconds later after they give up looking for you they just say " must of been my imagination". I also love sneaking up behind people and when you do the finishing move they say" who's there?" Right when I slit their throat.

 

[Muart]

Uhh : Seeing a courier dressed up as slenderman. WTF?

Killed a bandit. Bandit chief says, "WHOEVER DID THIS, THEY'LL PAY!" 20 seconds later, he stares at the corpse and says, "Must have been the wind."

 

[Andre2807]

1. The first time I met Barbas and he talked, I was like: Dragons, Cat men and now a talking dog! And the way that Barbas know exactly what you are doing: Fighting Dragons, Civil War and sorting out Guild Issues. LOL

2. When Sheogorath rambles stuff before giving you the Wabbajack to do his quest. LOL

3. Waking up in the abandoned shack after killing Grelod the Kind. WTF

4. Dragon corpses that dances when you fast travel to a city. LOL

5. Putting a pot on shop keepers heads and rob them blind. LOL

I recently witnessed that glitch in Dragon Bridge. The noble and his horse flew around at lightning speed, and then disappeared. A few moments later the noble reappeared from the direction of the river -- without his horse. I guess the horse died. The noble walked (didn't even run) back to his guard (who had just been standing there) and they continued their journey as if nothing had happened.

Oh, and a couple days ago I finally saw the mammoth falling from the sky glitch.

When you talk to NPCs while they're standing on stairs, they often start glitching in funny ways. Either they start slowly sliding down, or their feet start to disappear into the staircase and then reappear, over and over again.
It's hard to keep a straight face when the NPC is delivering sad or otherwise bad news, and one of the glitches happens. Like last night, as I was starting "Purity of Revenge". Vilkas's right foot totally ruined the atmosphere.

One last thing (for now, anyway): I once bought a horse at the Markarth stables, and started riding toward Whiterun. You know the two bear traps in the middle of the road where the dead pinto horse is? I accidentally rode into one those... and it killed my horse. A bear trap. Killed a horse.

Three incidents.

Case one: Level five, heading along the road between Windhelm and Whiterun. Pass a patrol of Imperials escorting a prisoner, who sneer: 'Imperial business, be on your way.' Sure whatever. I jog on ahead and reach Valtheim Towers where the bandit lady tries to extract a toll from me. When you are level five, 200 gold is a lot of money, so I decide to kill her then race off before all her bandit buddies race out. Five seconds into the fight the Imperial patrol arrives. The bandit lady falls very quickly, but that isn't good enough for the Imperial patrol and Stormcloak prisoner. They instantly go charging into the tower and go on a rampage. Within five minutes, every single bandit is dead, as well as the prisoner and two soldiers. I got to loot the entire place for doing nothing. The two surviving Imperials made sure to sneer at me: 'Imperial business, be on your way' as I looted everything of value. LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU Oooh shiny!

Case two: Wanting to level up my fighting skills, so I'm off to fetch Amren's Sword from (I think) Silent Moons Camp. One around Whiterun near a giants camp that has lots of bandits outside and very few inside. I march up and shoot two arrows at the lookout, then am engulfed in fire as a dragon decides to attack, enraging a nearby two giant and two mammoths who come charging over. Not wanting to get trodden on by any of those five monsters, I quickly run a little away and watch them duke it out. By the time the dragon falls, they are pretty close to Silent Moons Camp, and their bloodlust isn't sated. To my great astonishment, they promptly march in and spend about two minutes systematically killing every bandit they can find. Then they all stroll calmly back to their camp, pausing only to send two mudcrabs into orbit. So much for my plan to level up my combat skills on THAT mission.

Case three, my personal favourite: Lydia and I have just met with Thorald's brother and his two friends at Northwatch Keep, and I spend a little time listening to their reasons they want to rescue their precious, beloved Thorald from the evil Thalmor clutches as soon as possible. The plan is apparently to fight our way in, get Thorald out, and fight our way out! Right, lets start! Don't worry Thorald, we're coming for you! I sneak forward, trying to spot the nearest Thalmor and get a few shots in before the inevitable bloodbath. Quite surprised at how far I managed to get before my cover is blown, I turn around. Lydia, Avulstein and the two friends had decided to run about fifty meters down the coast to kill some horkers who got mad at me infringing their personal space while my housecarl and I were making my way to Northwatch Keep. Sorry, Thorald, first things first...You'll just have to stay in the grips of the Thalmor torturer a bit longer...

 

[Psiberzerker]

I get those streaker couriers all the time. Almost get used to them. "How much mail can you carry in that loin-cloth, anyway?"

Probably the most surreal was when I saw a Mammoth up a tree with Wolves around the bottom snapping, and barking at it. I just blinked, shook my head, and kept right on going...

OY! I almost forgot my favoritest favorite of all encounters, the 3 "Soldiers" standing around in mixed Stormcloak/Imperial/Heavy piece-mail stopping you, berating you for interrupting "Official business" and trying to shake you down for 200 Septims. "Riiight, um, what's with all these stripped bodies?" Nevermind that, oh hell, DIE!

Still makes me giggle, a little.

 

[-Mir-]

Lydia. We are going down a straight path maybe 30 feet from the edge of the mountain and she is following me, then just stops and turns, and just walks straight off the edge of the mountain. But she stays there floating and still acts normally when I talk to her. But she won't come with me or move at all, and I have to fast travel to get her unstuck.

She also has many race-based battle cries, so it was sort of a "wtf" one when she said to someone, "Go back to your forest, little elf!" I'm a bosmer so I was all like...."um, okay. I thought you liked me?"
And then she says "You call yourself a Nord?!" to non-nord enemies like giants and wolves. xD

And then one time on the plains I saw some grass growing from 2 feet off the ground, and some mammoths walking, levitating along with it.

There are also a lot of wft/lol moments for one hearing Cicero's full dialogue for the first time. xD

 

[Chadonraz]

I know bandits are stupid, but I just met one who was a total idiot, even for a bandit.
I approached him with a readied arrow, ready to shoot... and approached, and approached. When the tip of my arrow was less than an inch away from his face, he still didn't react. So I shot him in the forehead. That finally got him moving.
(I was in full sight, not sneaking. He definitely saw me approaching.)

 

[Mr Forz]

Getting all the guards of Solitude on my back with no possibility to surrender because I accidently erased a chicken in front of the entrance.

 

[Cherry]

Probably one of my favorite things to do, is get a troll to charge me downhill, the paralyze it just as it's about to hit me. Then just have fun watching the troll cartwheel down the hill. It's hilarious every time, the troll simply gaining more and more speed, bouncing as it hits bumps... the longer the hill the better

 

[Blackdoom59]

I was north of Windhelm in the cold wild.As I was aproaching for a really long distance I saw on right the companions(that I hadn't joined) fighting a Mammoth and on the left a few bandits taking on a mage.I moved closer and the mage seemed to be an arch pyromancer(or something like that).He totally anihilated the bandits.

The mammoth bested the companions and was charging to me.I wanted to run away but instead I paused the game to get an invisibility potion.As I had none in my inventory and the mammoth was 2 meters away I gave up and readied my weapons.
As soon as I unpaused the game a firebolt(incinerate actually) floated towards the mammoth bursting him into air.That one unlucky mammoth fell into the sea.The good thing is that the mage seemed to be gliched and react friendly.Until the companions started attacking him.

 

[Reaper0021]

Mine...out in the pale...BIG Dragon flying overhead and 3 Imperial Legion soldiers, standing around while I fight the dragon saying: "So, why did you join the Imperial Legion?" I got so pissed that I nuked them all with a fireball.
