But they've been saying it since I've started the game! :confused:

That stuff isn't perfect, they say that to me when my speech is at 20-25, but I have many other skills that are at 50 or higher...just something that isn't smoothed out perfectly. It would seem that guards are the only ones that attack you if you accidently hit them during a fight. It's real bad with a mage, you can be spraying an enemy with fire, then suddenly the guard gets in the way, catches half a second of flame, then turns and charges you! o_O but? but? We're on the same team!

Funniest thing Ive seen guards do? I got arrested in a drunken brawl, so when I got out i punched the first guard i saw. Well he attacked me. The other guards came running to my rescue! It was a guard bloodbath, and no matter how many i attacked they only fought with each other. Lasted about 5 minutes, pretty awesome

The guards usually only get out of the norm of programming when you do ridiculous thing IG. Ive seen a guard get hit by an arrow (coincidentally or not in the knee lol) by someone attacking me, and he went sneak mode and dipped out on me hahaha.

I've seen a guard chase a child around beating on them with a war hammer...I don't think he realized that battle would never end since the kid would forever run and hide, never fighting back, plus the guard couldn't hurt them. That went on for a while, I'd come out of a shop and they were still at it, go in the inn, next morning it was still going on...finally I just left, haven't been back to check on them yet, so maybe it's still happening. lol

I'm wondering if this happens to anybody else since it's happened in my game twice now: When I play the civil war quest on the Stormcloak side and after the Siege of Whiterun there are two new Stormcloak guards posted outside the city gate right? Well, both times I have played on the Stormcloak side these two guards don't stand on opposite sides of the gate like they should. No, they are standing on the same side, very close to eachother.

It's like they're butt-buddies :eek:

They like going ASS TO ASS with a bunch of daedra worshipers. OMG. I need the .gif file for that Butt in MANS1AY3R's Gamer POOP!! D:

Well, I was walking along minding my own business when this guard started recounting a tale of how he took an arrow to the knee...It was fascinating.
 
The guards seem to dislike wearing their armor, I have no idea why ;).

If you hit, or pickpocket and get caught, somebody without the guards seeing it, and then he/she attacks you and the guards see it, they'll attack them as the NPC is the one committing a crime to their eyes. They are both judges and executioners, you see, there are no courts in Skyrim!

I have a dead skeleton floating in the moat under Dragonsreach gate, he's been there for months.
Occasionally a guard seems to join him for a swim.

It got annoying after some time! :eek:
My travels around skyrim in a nutshell...:
* Travel to Windhelm*
Guard: I used to be an adventurer like you then I took an arrow to the knee

Random NPC (Beggar?): I used to do (Something :p) then I took an arrow in the back

ME: Ok.. WHATS WRONG HERE?


==============================

*Travel to Whiterun*
Guard 1: I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

Guard 2: I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took and arrow to the knee

Guard 3: Azura's Star? How can you carry such a valuable item around??

Me: Thanks for standing out Guard 3, I really got annoyed by coming across every guard saying that... o_O

"I was one of the best soldiers in the Stormcloak army, until I took a sword to the chest."

I have spent entirely too much time in Windhelm.

I was far off :eek:
I swear I heard something about an arrow in the back somewhere. And it isnt in Markarth where someone said " A Shiv in the back ".. :D

I see. I wasn't sure whether you meant real life or in-game, my mistake ;). Anyway now that is a funny story! I may have to try this, I get tired of Olfrid and his repetitive statement. Just goes to show the power of the dragonborn :Dovahkiin:

But Olfrid is essential? I can't kill him.

I have only encountered three weird behavior from the hold guards:

1. Walking with a lit torch in the middle of the day.
2. Lining up on a single bed in the barracks. Getting turns on that bed right after an occupant rouses.
3. Opening the slammer for you when you shout as you are serving your jail sentence.
 

Mr Forz

I'm helping. Mostly.
SCREW, YOU! I'm not conjuring you a warm bed, be happy that you don't live in Markarth, already.
