Ridiculous things to happen to you in Skyrim

[Solo-Wing]

Doesn't matter if they were Technical, The game derping/trolling you, or something else. Tell a time something ridiculous has happened to you in Skyrim.

I myself have two stories I think I need to recount in full.

First one was technical. The game was being ridiculous and was freezing on me during a huge battle. It might have been my fault though cause I kinda did do something to stretch the limits of the games AI amount. You see I beat the Main story and dark brotherhood before anything else, then decided to join the stormcloaks. During an attack on a Fort I decided to summon the spirit you get from the Dark brotherhood campaign as well as using the shout dragoncall to have a dragon come help us clear the imperials out. I guess there were too many AIs going on at once (Like 15 Human AIs, 7 of them enemies and 8 of them Allies, and a Player-friendly dragon AI) and the Xbox was freezing every 3 seconds to process what the fuck was going on.

So I don't blaim the game so much as Myself for causing the derp.

The second one I chalk up to Sentient AI and/or the game trolling me.

I was walking along thorugh a feild and decided to walk on through a giant camp to shave a few seconds. Suddenly a dragon comes out of fucking nowhere and attacks a Mammoth with 3 giants around and thus making all the giants Pissed off and chase it. The dragons quickly takes off and flies away, leaving me with the frustrated giants. They shortly realized they could not harm the dragon since it was out of their reach so they all decided to vent their frustrations out on me. Next thing I knew I was was watching my corpse fly up to cloud nine.

I do not know what happened but I think that dragon planned that out...

Any other stories people want to share?

I just started some quest where a dog talked to me and lead me to a cave full of vampires. What's weird is that no NPCs seem to acknowledge the fact that it talks, so I started to think that I as a person (not my Skyrim character) may be going insane.

You just posted the exact same thing in another thread, then use it to start the second thread on this exact same topic on the front page.

No wonder the guys and gals who aren't playing Skyrim are getting pissed with all these threads, when we can't even be arsed to look at the front page of the forums, never mind do a search!

Entered an inn in the middle of nowhere that was completely absent of people. When I looked around I saw a bear stuck in the celing staring down at me. Not sure what the hell had happened. The inn looked tidy and clean, even food plated and a fire place burning, but there were no signs of anyone apart from the bear.

Also seen a couple of mammoths take flight only to crash down and die. Love that glitch.

I Didn't know there was a second thread. Plus when I posted it in the other thread it got me thinking of other stupid shit happened to me. Ok?

The whole Drinking Quest was ridiculously awesome.

On the concept of Ridiculously bad. The crash I had 20 mins into the game still pisses me off

I made the mistake of fast traveling to the Mage college on horse back, it plops you on a narrow bridge and horses can't turn on a dime. My horse and I took a crash course in flying, while I received top marks for surviving the drop, the horse did not fare so well. I learn a very important lesson that day, horse don't fly.

Mammoths curbstomping a Dragon. It never gets old. Seriously, if Giants and Mammoths decided to take over Skyrim, nobody would be able to stop them. They are tougher and nastier than Dragons and there's no convenient Mammothborn to stop them using the power of Mammoth Shouting...

 

[Azure-Supernova]

Is it just me or do all companions have a death wish, horses included?

...there's no convenient Mammothborn to stop them using the power of Mammoth Shouting...

Now there's DLC I'd pay for.

Does it count that I quick save every minute or two, afraid of game crashing?

 

[Von Dean]

I was in a dungeon and the game decided that my magic regen was godly (to the point where I didn't even have a magic bar) so I proceded to spam illusion/alteration spells (I mastered illusion in 30mins with muffle)

The weirdest thing is that when I, Eddard Stark of Winterfell, attack an enemy in the wilderness, like a bandit camp, in full on Direwolf mode no one seems to mind that I am a 7 foot tall wolf eating their mates' faces, and talk to me as if I were a normal person, someone even saying "You picked the wrong place to get lost, friend" Whilst I was mauling all of her friends

I killing that dragon priest guy, and a GIANT that followed me since I started scaling the mountain valiantly attempts to kill him, dies, and I get the mask.

while joining the thieves guild in rifton, I stole a horse for a guy in a bar. he took it, I guess I got some money and then he vanished. some time passed and I happened to go to rifton again and right outside the city borders, I stumbled over the same dude. Just as of now he existed two times. same character model, same dialogue options, same name and not but a few meters separated.

additionally, when you go to solitude for the first time, you witness an execution. I tried to stop it, ran up on the stage and the convict and his executioners just dropped to the ground, not dying, but merrily gliding over the ground like a hovercraft.

thats just Clavicus Vile's puppy.

OT: well, in Saarthal, my teacher saw me step on a dart-button. i avoided the darts, walked through and...
he stepped on it, the wanksock.

i also had a dragon/giant duel. then was left with the giant.

Mammothborn.

... Elder Scrolls six anyone?

Had a dragon attack the college of mages, killed it. Came back later to find a second dragon was trying to assault the college. Suicidal or what?

Happen to me too, the ridiculous thing was that my character flew straight up. Not on some parabolic trajectory, but straight up perpendicular to the ground.

After I reloaded an other ridiculous thing happened (or rather I did a ridiculous thing). These giants were fighting a dragon and I was interfering (hence me getting hit by a giant, otherwise I would have avoided them like the plague). The dragon got killed by a mammoth quite some distance away from me. So I sprinted towards it, looted it and absorbed it's soul while dodging a giant and two mammoths. The only reason I got away with a giant chasing me (3 meters behind me and gaining fast, I had used all my stamina dodging and sprinting) was because apparently they don't like water and I decided to cross a nearby river.

So Dovahkiin the loot ninja.
