Lol, Skyrim.

[derelict]

So, a funny moment to share. Playing Skyrim earlier, managed to get the entirety of Whitefall after me, guards would attack me on sight with no chance of yielding - since this was very near the beginning of the game for me I had to run from every town I'd yet discovered as soon as the guards would spot me. Which was about half a mile given I'd chosen heavy armor and had no aptitude in sneaking. So, what might you ask, was my crime? So heinous that gave every guard within 30 miles license to cut me down in the most brutal and direct way possible upon seeing half an inch of me go by?


I killed a chicken. I can imagine what my tombstone would've said: "Here lies Syril, murderist of poultry. Oblivion take you, blasphemer!" or something. Maybe it was just funny at the time, though... (=

Anyone else for funny moments?

I was fighting a couple of giants and mammoths down near Whiterun, had a companion with me. Due to a dragon attack at the same time, I decided the best idea was to run away. I did so, bringing a mammoth with me.

As I was strafing around it, hacking away at its legs, I saw my companion come flying past in a blur of black robes. It seems the giant didn't take too kindly to her casting spells on their mammoths.

Lame but so far, it's the best I got, apart from shouting people off of bridges, cliffs, etc etc.

While the sneaking is fun, it's still as terribly unimmersive as ever.

Two bandits are talking to each other, and I shoot one in the head. He dies, and his buddy so nobly takes out his giant-ass sword and says "I heard a noise!"

Oh it gets better.

After hiding in between two pillars that the bandit can in no way get to, he puts away his sword and says "It must have been my imagination"

While his buddy is lying dead right in front of him with an arrow sticking out of his head.

 

[Nami nom noms]

I just managed to hack a dragon to death in mid-air after a long fight atop rooftops. It flew below me and I pounced after it, killing it with one last sword stroke as we fell in a crumpled heap upon a cliff-side.

I had a dragon spawn as I was on my way up to the grey beards. It's corpse started sliding down the mountain and I gave chase so I could get soul/scales/bones and promptly fell to my death.

After killing Ulfric, I placed him and is officer in an innapropriate position on their dining table *girlish giggle*

I did that but I also focused a lot on magic so my arrows weren't as strong. They would have five poisoned arrows sticking out of their heads yet they'd say their just seeing things.

Hey, at least its better than the one bandit continuing the conversation one-sided as if nothing at all happened.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

As exciting as it was be to be the first man on the moon in Tamriel. Perhaps next time Bethesda could develop a safer space flight programme than a giant's hammer.

I was trying to assassinate some unsuspecting bandit from the top of a cliff, which required me to draw my bow. Unfortunately, I had changed the keyboard layout so that the Use Power button was dangerously close to the Draw Weapon button. I proceeded to use my Whirlwind Shout ability and hurtle myself off the cliff to my death.

 

[Odbarc]

I let my brother play a new game, went through all the long waiting period to get the custom character creation, watch the dragon show up, run into the tower. It said, jump to the ledge, so he jumped LEFT and fell to his death.

Ran for his life then committed suicide, had to start over and watch that slow shit over AGAIN.

You certainly didn't help your immersion by knowingly exploiting the AI by hiding between those pillars.

Funniest moment so far?

Shouting my dog off of a REALLY high cliff.

Jumping down to loot the corpse. Dying five times trying to get down, too. Not seeing a corpse. Five minutes later, dog finds me again.

Spoiler: This is a pretty big (like seriously MASSIVE) spoiler (Dark Brotherhood) so don't read it if you hate this sort of thing

I love how the Imperials were just fine with me joining their cause after I finished the Dark Brotherhood questline and killed the Emperor (and really wasn't very sneaky about it). During the Civil War quests I found it funny how they talked like he was still alive and would give us all huge rewards for our exemplary service and whatnot.

Other than that I don't have much besides the usual stuff. I have brought 3+ giants and 2 mammoths back to Whiterun to watch the hilarity as Khajiit merchants and guards alike became astronauts instantly.

 

[gamma1234]

I accidentally managed to make four Whiterun guards fly into the air with a fully charged Unrelenting Force (all three words of power were used) as they were walking down a set of steps that I wanted to sprint up...

Yeah...

People didn't like me.

 

[(whitty name here)]

I was working on one of the Dark Brotherhood missions, the one involving a wedding to be specific, and even though I was hidden and out of sight of ny guards, they just assumed it was me. So obviously, Solitude was no longer a safe place to live so I whirlwind sprinted out of there only to be greeted by a blood dragon and a Chaurus reaper in the wetlands at the base of the hill that Solitude rested upon.

Fighting off the guards, the dragon, and the Chaurus, I wasn't exactly in the best shape. Blood Dragon #2 decided now was the best time to say hi, and the Thalmor wanted to crash the party as well.

So right now theres a large pile of guards, thalmor, and dragon bones sitting in a pile at the base of Solitude.

Its not exactly funny now, but at the time I was laughing very hard at how unfortunate I was at the time.

 

[Kizi]

"Hey, mammoths! Oooo, giants! Maybe I can talk to them."
And so began an insane chase of a low level character from imminent death. I managed to hide in a small brick house, though. Took a while for my heart to return to normal speed.

 

[J4RD]

Being a mage, I had just finished battling some giants I'd accidentally pissed off. I was running low on Magicka, and a bear spotted me. Given that I was still reasonably low leveled, this wouldn't have ended well, had my horse not kicked it in the head just before it reached me, and bought me enough time to cast a fire spell.

I was in awe of the horse's intelligence and bravery... until it got it's head stuck in the ground, and was sodomized by about a dozen arrows.
