That awkward moment when...

[Bad-People]

That awkward moment when you drop an old junk sword and two guys come up and kill each other for it.

 

[Neriad13]

...you're about to embark on an epic mission against a Daedric prince with the minds of a town on the line. Your friendly neighborhood Priest of Mara has just explained the details to you and the both of you are about to walk out the door to storm the old Temple of Vaermina, when Karita opens her mouth. Erandur abruptly turns on his heel, marches back to the bard's corner by the front counter and stands at passionate attention directly in front of her, intent upon hearing one more song. I honestly believe now that the Oracles have power not only over players but NPCs as well. 0.0

 

[Gunnbjorn]

That awkward moment when you're the Chuck Norris of Skyrim and therefore have never had any awkward moments.

 

[Raggmopp]

That awkward moment when you realize you wont find out what really caused the great collapse or Rune the thiefs mysterious origin...

I think I know what caused the great collapse of Winterhold, it happened around the same time as the Red Mountain erupted, that then caused a massive Tsunami across the Sea of Ghosts, causing most of Winterhold to be washed away, but of course nobody knows what a Tsunami is in Skyrim, so they all just blamed the mages.

 

[SkeevyLittleElf]

That moment when you are fighting 1 bandit and you miss three or more Ice Spike shots...

 

[Wildroses]

That awkward moment when your Altmer is adventuring with her Nord husband, and as they are attacked by a Thalmor patrol he charges screaming: "YOUR KIND HAS NO PLACE HERE!" We're sleeping in separate bedrolls tonight, Vorstag.

Great theory, but Red Mountain erupted in 4E 5 and the Great Collapse happened in 4E 122.

A tsunami caused by seismic activity outside of Tamriel though is a great explanation.

That awkward moment when your Altmer is adventuring with her Nord husband, and as they are attacked by a Thalmor patrol he charges screaming: "YOUR KIND HAS NO PLACE HERE!" We're sleeping in separate bedrolls tonight, Vorstag.

Poor Vorstag. By "your kind," he means, Thalmor, not Elves. Really. Nords sometimes get a bit confused by the terminology, but seriously. For the sake of the poor guy's happiness...

 

[OckhamsFolly]

Don't worry, Wildroses will cave. Before she knows what's happening, she'll wake up having gotten some lover's comfort.

Vorstag, you silver tongued dog.

Vorstag, you silver tongued dog.

You speak with such certainty. Done a fair bit of the old persuadin' in your time, eh?

Me? Why, I'd never.

Back on topic:

That awkward moment when a dragon ignores you attacking them in favor of a deer.

 

[Wildroses]

That awkward moment when you told your husband you were sleeping in separate bedrolls yet wake up with the Lover's Comfort bonus. How can a guy whose method of courtship was blocking the only exit out of the room until I talked to him be so persuasive anyway?

 

[Raggmopp]

That awkward moment when listening to music implanted into you by your earbuds, At the bus stop.
And you half aware starts singing/mumbling/humming with Malukah's take on Age of suppression. (this one-

)

And some "kid" starts joining in...

That awkward moment when you wonder why... Why do the Draugir have so much cabbage?

Told ya so.

That awkward moment when you receive an inheritance, pay your respects at the hall of the dead, then go around to their house to see if the family needs anything... only to realize when you get there that less than a week ago, you had planted a stolen ring in their house and they were likely executed because of it.

 

[Bad-People]

That awkward moment when you take Lydia into battle AGAINST Whiterun and you use the Axe of Whitrun to force Balgruuf to surrender the city.

 

[Mr1cammando]

That awkward moment when you have never really ever seen a blacksmith creating weapons or armor, just hammer a sheet of metal or heat a rod of iron.

Which makes you wonder where all of Skyrim's weapons come from.

 

[Neriad13]

...your friend has owned Skyrim for roughly a year and still hasn't done the Thieves' Guild questline. And then when you're trying to talk to her about Mercer Frey's voice actor, she is genuinely confused and responds with "What's a Mercer Frey?"

 

[Bad-People]

That awkward moment when you've had the game for over a year and just found a new TOWN!

 

[-Mir-]

That awkward moment when you go and like every neat post on the first few pages of this thread thinking they're from today, but then realize they're from January 30, 2012

True story.
