Skyrim Mysteries

[neon flame]

I had a mammoth drop out of the sky from a ridiculous height. I was far enough back to see it just spawn in the sky, and started running towards it; I was practically next to it by the time it landed

I keep getting a different NPC duplicating on 360 in each playthrough. It's almost as if my modding/cc days on Oblivion are haunting me to return to PC for them.

I once had a fireball fly past me in the middle of the night and hi the tree next to me on the side of the road. I shat myself, looked over form the direction it came from - and nothing. I travelled up the small woody hill to come across no copses, no AI, no lighting by natural/magicka means in the surrounding viewable area, nothing. It only took me a few seconds to get there. What's really weird is I would have definitely heard combat as it was the distance of the Whiterun main gate to your home. This was on the path leading straight through the forests between Throat of the World and Windhelm.

I found a "Moth in a Jar" once in a random cave, and I decided "Hey! that would be great decoration for my Markarth home!" So I put it on one of my shelves and left. The next time I come back, its sitting right on my goddamn dinner table! I put it back again, then leave. Next time I come back, its on my bed! And another time I went into that house, my table, bed, shelves, display cases, wife, and a bunch of other things were missing. I re-loaded and everything was fine. I swear that house is haunted...

I went to my wife in Breezehome, Whiterun, and as I sat next to her in front of the fire in the front room, I saw a brown-cloaked figure with a steel mace at his hip just going out the front door. Assuming it was a thief, I pulled my sword and dashed outside to give him a good what-for, but when I went out...Nobody. I even reloaded the autosave, and surveilled the door, hoping to catch him. But..still nothing.

Mysterious Stranger Perk-Medievil Edition. He's watching you from the shadows, keeping an eye out for trouble...or your wife is just a cheating slut.

A damned dragon attacks me literally every time I fast travel back to the Winterhold college.
EVERY. TIME. It's a good thing dragon corpses disappear after a time, because I shit you not, there'd easily be over ten dragon skeletons stacked in that courtyard next to that statue. I think the college is cursed.

Anyway, that isn't it. Thing is one of the time the dragons attacked I blasted the bastard right out of the air with a dual-cast Thunderbolt. He fell right on top of J'zaargo (spelling?) and J'zaargo...disappeared. Not dead, not knocked off somewhere. He literally got smashed and was gone. Thing is, suddenly everyone in the college said I was suspended becausing apparently slaying dragons and saving multiple lives is a bad thing if you crush a single Khajiit by inadvertantly dropping the dragon ciorpse on them.

So I'm like, "okay, I'll get back in tralala."

As I'm doing this, suddenly J'zaargo comes walking out of the main building and just walks past me like nothing happened. Bastard.

Now play Skyrim, and have your mind blown.

I don't geddit...

Double post, damnit.

I've saw a ghost in ruin once. Didn't say a thing. Just walk past by me... I followed him... directly in a weird tomb (not marked) with 2 bandits... killed them, loot the place... but the ghost was gone (at the moment I saw the bandidts)...
It just felt weird... you know, kinda off...

Fucking ghost

It's called a shadowmark - it means that any building marked with it has tons of fat loots.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

If people start talking to you right before you go through a door, they'll follow you through.

Swimming Deer.

Underwater.

I shit you not.

I first saw that phenomenon with a rabbit, and then again with a fox. Skyrim's woodland creatures are all aquatic.

 

[Jodah]

I assume you mean

Spoiler

Skjor

in which case I think it because he has quests and someone forgot to give them to someone else after he dies.

Yeah, that's who it was. He had his own set of jobs like the other major NPC's in the group do?

Yeah, his tend to be "go kill random escaped prisoner XYZ" while Aela's are "go kill random animal XYZ" and Farkas' are "go fist fight random jerk XYZ." I can't remember if Vilkas has quests or not.

Oh, I just remembered one. On one of my earlier games I saw three Louis Letrush standing right next to each other outside the Whiterun stables.

Spoiler

The best part is I saw him get killed three times already because I told Mahven what he was up to.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

So has anybody else had this problem, or any other mysterious occurrences? And can somebody tell me what happened?

Yeah, at first I even suspected my husband the blacksmith to have some shamelessly homoerotic thing going on behind my back. Obviously, I was completely wrong. Not even my followers entertain guests. Sometimes, random folks just seem to wander into your home. I don't think they bring anything, and I don't believe they take anything. They just wander into your personal space and small-talk you into having a severe headache, so there will probably be no pregnancy, no kids anytime soon. One even commented on me being naked, inside my own home...

Was it the "What you do in your own home is your own business...in your own home" one? Because that would have led to me stabbing him repeatedly.

I've seen the Headless Horseman roaming the roads. Tried to talk to him, but couldn't. Tried to attack him, but couldn't. (He was a ghost, as was his horse).

If you follow him, he leads you to a graveyard, where there's nothing of interest. I was quite disappointed.

OT: Other than the arrow-and-magic immune NPC's I've run into from time to time, nothing comes to mind.

Actually, there is a locked chest with enchanted weapons in that graveyard. =x Look harder!

I've heard of a bunch of random easter eggs from Star Wars to King Arthur and Excalibur but I have never heard of the Headless Horseman in the game...Can anyone point me in a direction to look for him? Does he just hangout on the road to Solitude?

I got married to Ysolda, told her to move in with me into Breezehome. She vanished.
She's not there, at the market or in her house. She's just gone.

I'm having the same problem with the Dark Elf girl from the Mage Guild. Immediately after the ceremony she just vanished and I can't find her anywhere.

Ahh, must just be a bug somewhere there then. I just figured that was the easiest explanation. I've come to expect silly things like that in Elder Scrolls games though, when in doubt I just blame it on a Daedra or two.

 

[Nulmas]

Faendal from Riverwood kept showing up at my house in Whiterun after I married Camilla.

Unfortunatelly for him, I still remembered those thugs he had hired to beat me up.

Ah, his murder by my hands was a perfect crime.

Happened to me with a goat, but I had the presence of mind to screencap it:

Tadah! [http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/612717879335229977/BE71EEC50C737BDAD8C9DDF9D1F23A448D029DEE/]

 

[someonehairy-ish]

A guard looked at me the other day and said "I know who you are... Hail Sithis!"



Also I keep finding hagravens resurrecting people in forsworn encampments, which leads me to believe that the forsworn are actually some kinda undead things? Dunno. One of the dragon walls is in such a place, it has the second word for ethereal form.

Bethesda really does have the best glitches of any developer.

 

[imnot]

Everytime I go to Riften, and I mean EVERYTIME, A guard will start fighting an imperial soilder and whenever I help the imperial they both gang up on me.
Its great!
