Things that make you go hmm (or wtf)

Mods, if a similar thread has been created, I apologize and please delete (I did do a search with similar titles and got nothing.)

BUT ANYWAY, is there anything in Skyrim that really raises questions in your mind? Like why there are no argonian, elven or kitty kids? (Kitty kids would probably win everything. Not even gonna lie.)

Why do only the chickens at Snow Shod farm cluck? WHY?

I had a similar thought when I came across the same. It was the spewing of green plops on me, that made me go "Woah... wtf..."

Attack me with a weapon or spell? I can respect that.

Vomit green stuff on me? plops just got personal.

it was not really a WTF moment but more of a holy pl*** moment is when I first climbed the throat of the world and looked how high I was another time was the first day I ever played skyrim the map seemed so massive I somehow ended up near solitude and in the water I turn around and a bloody horker is slashing away at me not to mention the first time I became a vampire I had no idear what was happening until I somehow ended up in the active effects menu and it says that i'm a vampire that was really a really cool moment

I found a random pass near Riften. Followed it and ended up in a glitched area with no solid ground. I opened my map and technically I was no longer in the province of Skyrim, but Morrowind.

A few things. The first time I ever saw a falmer, that was a big, "Ugh... gross. WTF is that thing?"

Also the headless horseman ghost, I thought it might lead to a quest, but it didn't. The arm with a sword sticking out of the water near Whiterun. A dragon tossing a guard in the air. When I realized I couldn't kill that bitch Maven. The ending of the Dark Brotherhood and The Thieves Guild was a big WTF is going on here. When Gulem Ei or whatever his name was simply disappeared from the game. When I waited an hour and Serana was in the air floating. When I was also floating, flapping my arms, after I jumped. The ending of the quest where you go to get Auriel's Bow, didn't see that coming.

Quite a few, but that's all I can think of right now.

They vomited green sludge.

I vomited fire and noise.

First time a Drauger got up after I passed it and sunk a axe in my back.

I can't even say I went 'hmmm'. I was more like:

What about the CHICKEN SHRINE in the Rift! With hostile chickens guarding it!! Not even Kyne's peace could calm them down.

My thoughts exaaaaacccctllly. I can't believe those things used to be what Knight-Paladin Gelebor is now /sob

Poor souls suffered at the hands of the dwemer. This is why I can't find it in me to like the Dwemer.

My first wtf moment was the first time taking flight after attempting (and badly failing) to beat a giant. But I think that goes for all of us?

I agree with you on the Dwemer. The only way they'd help the Snow Elves was if they got to take away their sight. Poor guys. Go blind or die? I understand the decision the Snow Elves made, but the Dwemer had no valid reason to do that. They should have just protected them because they are somewhat related to them.

So, in a way, I understand why the Snow Elves are angry and became Falmer. But still.... I didn't do that to you, so don't keep trying to kill me! I also find it interesting that they remain in Dwarven Ruins... I think I would have left by now, I wouldn't want to be constantly surrounded by the people that blinded me and their contraptions.

After ....."removing"..... the 2 Alik'r warriors who were harassing her on the road, the Redguard woman flees in terror from me. Huh?! I just helped you, lady!

Then, upon arriving at Whiterun, I find I have a bounty for the crime of killing the 2 Alik'r - - yes, the Alik'r that the Whiterun guards have forcibly ejected from the city. Apparently the same Redguard woman whom I saved turned me in for my 'crime'...... sigh.

Stay classy, Skyrim.

aghh those people up in Skyrim know nothing about being grateful I once saved several peoples lives from a dragon and here they turn around and attack me well what they forgot to realize that winged demon just saved their lives if not for him they would all be dead.

I rode a horse through one of those small 2 wheeled carts and my horse and I flew straight up 30 meters. Huge WTF moment there.

What I don't understand is why, or for that matter how, horses, spiders, goats or even dogs can turn you in for a crime. It's just weird. What, does Dr. Doolittle travel from town to town like a demented Scotland Yard Inspector interviewing all the animals to see if they've witnessed any crimes? I hate to kill 'em, but, apparently, if you commit a crime, you have to eliminate ALL witnesses which, unfortunately seems to include critters.

Ever completed Promises to Keep? Then you know what happens to Louis Letrush

That was a major wtf moment for me.
