Yeah! Bandits are like that. Some of 'em you can walk right up to and punch before they'll even react to your prescence. I think its all the scooma.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.)
Today I accidentally taught a Sabre Cat to fly by using Ice Form on it. I hit the RB (Power button) in an attempt to calm the cat down, just as it was about to pounce. Then there was a moment of enormous lag, and I had no idea whether I'd hit my target. Once I could move again, I saw something fly over my head. Turning to look, I saw a Sabre Cat shaped ice cube spinning and flying around like crazy. It eventually landed in a nearby river -- on its paws and very much alive. I was on flat terrain, so I really have no idea what caused that glitch. It was hilarious, though.
Quite a long time I ago I saw three Stormcloaks passing through Rorikstead. Or trying to. It became very clear that, however neutral Balgruuf acts, Whiterun is definitely an Imperial Hold.
It's always fun to watch that kind of events. Imperial Courier in Riften, Imperials plus prisoner coming too close to Riften, Stormcloak Courier in Dragon Bridge... the "natives" always win.
Oh, that had to be great! I just had my first mammoth rain! A whole herd fell out of the sky right in front of me. It started happening just after I killed 2 giants for my Jarl in Whiterun. Maybe it's their way of mourning?Yesterday I saw a new (to me) encounter where a Mammoth killed two Sabre Cats and then proceeded to run back and forth over their dead bodies.
