amusing or dramatic deaths..

[treacletoes]

What is your funniest or most dramatic death so far? (of yourself I mean).

I decided to ask as I got killed by bandits yesterday and as I looked at my body, I literally had taken an arrow to the knee....thus ending my days as an adventurer. Oh How I laughed.

I was so worried about a dragon waking up while going up this mountain, I failed to notice the Snow Kitty who roundhouse kicked me off the cliff. lol

around level 10 I was beaten up by some draugr wraiths, I managed to win but my health was almost completely gone, I approached one of them for loot, stumbled in his sword on the ground and died.
I lol'd, stupid sharp swords...

Actually, on the subject of death, has anyone else had problems with disappearing bodies? 3 times now i've killed people/creatures and the body is nowhere to be found. Inside too, so nowhere for it to go. I assume it's just a gltch, annnoyng though, i'm all about the plundering of bodies.

I got beheaded (one shot kill) once by some big dude with a double handed sword, also been shot between the eyes with an arrow (one shot kill) and getting knocked across the map by giants is always fun lol

First encounter with a giant.....

A draugr overlord fus ro da'd me off a cliff. Ironically, I was going to do that to him. Haha!

It's amusing yet somehow annoying when getting overrun by bandits to have them walk over my corpse saying "Yes?" and "Need something?"

I've been chomped twice by a dragon and had a beautiful aerial view after getting pounded by a giant.

Yeah have had that happen several times. Several times I've noticed them "slip through the crack" in dungeons or in rock faces. Most annoying. since I'm on a PC though I use the console to go into "no clip mode" and go under the ground or through the wall to find and loot the body.

As for amusing deaths or near deaths, I was up near Bronze Water Cave and across the lake was Alduin raising a dragon. I headed over there to kill th dragon and got intercepted by some bandits. After clearing them, I went back to the dragon mound. I didn't see either dragon and walked up to the mound. It appeared to be still in tack so I started to walk over it and noticed what looked like a horn sticking up. Instead of backing up and seeking cover I walked up to the horn and went to grab it. That's when the mound disappeared and the dragon that was being raised climbs out. I was trying to run backwards and LOL. I managed to get away and then kill the dragon, but not before laughing so hard I had tears.

well mine was the first flight ceuse of a Giant and got munched and spat out by a dragon my first reactions was like what the #$#%^

 

[MushroomGenius]

The first couple of decaps were.... ouch.

 

[nordicowboy]

Getting ready to FusRoDah someone off of a cliff, only to figure out that I never switched back from whirlwind sprint.

 

[The Barefoot Nord]

Running from the giants and mammoths, getting away only to run right into the teeth of a sabre cat I never saw.

Having a really pissed off mage follow me for a LONG way trying to kill me. He did eventually shoot me with a fireball while I was floating in the water and thought I was safe.

Getting my head chopped off by a bandit marauder def. rates high along with being chewed up and spit out by a dragon.

Then there's the time when I accidentally pissed off the guards at white run, and got shot in the face by an arrow. who cares about your arrow in the knee!! Try an arrow in the face!!

Then there's me getting all happy and confident having killed my first dragon on top of a mountain, only to accidentally fall off said mountain to my death.

That happened to me a lot when I was playing through the Civil War quests. I'd kill dozens of enemy soldiers and after the battle, I'd want to do some looting. But, sometimes the bodies just up and vanished, from locations in which I definitely remember killing people. And while I was looking for them, sometimes I'd stumble upon invisible bodies which I could loot.

Well it wasn't so much amusing as it was dramatic.. just a few moments ago when I was playing, I was attacked by a high elf mage near the waterfalls next to Anga's Mill. I unleashed the unrelenting force shout upon the poor bastard and watched him fly over the rocks just to the edge of the waterfall. For fairness sake I let him get up before whacking him with my 2-handed daedric axe. He died with one blow (axe was poisoned) and his body fell down the waterfall like a ragdoll, tossed this way and that by the raging waters. The whole affair was rather cinematic!

Ah, just read the first post and saw this was supposed to be about YOUR death. I'll have to echo what Nordiccowboy said.. my most amusing death was when I was aiming at a banding standing at the edge of a cliff, thinking I still had unrelenting force selected.. yeah. It was a long fall down.
