Skyrim Mysteries

[Zenn3k]

I once sneak attacked a sleeping person and they fell THROUGH their bed upon death.

I needed to loot them too, luckily there foot was sticking out.

When you kill your first dragon outside of Whiterun, I constantly kept having the guards stop and look at me, "Wait.. I know you."

I figured aiding the attempt to kill a fucking dragon would excuse my petty theft.

They took my shield off me whilst I was fighting the dragon. Excellent timing, gents. I commend you for your dedication to duty in the face of fire breathing myths.

Now play Skyrim, and have your mind blown.

I know I find those everywhere. What the hell are they!? There's also one under the bridge in Whiterun that looks like two of the three deathly hollows.

EDIT: Okay after reading other posts I know what the first one is but could someone explain the Circle in the triangle symbol from under the Whiterun Bridge.

I had 2 of him. They both attacked me, saw a dragon, ran away and then came back and were friendly. It was unnerving watching them talk to one another.

I had Lydia keep asking me if I was lost whenever I walked into my house. I thought about going up and backhanding her to put her in her place.

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).

Finally! I have three friends with this game and I am the only one who has ever seen him.

I've seen him a couple times. I tried to run him down to stab him in the face but never could.

Me too is he related to a quest at all? Or is he just a random appearance?

i have also seen the headless horse man ghost

i also found a random dead fox in the river near solitude harbor which is weird because I noted elk/deer will swim across rivers but foxes and rabbits will avoid them so how did that corpse end up there?

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

I got into a fight with a herd of mammoths once, and after killing two, one literally dropped straight out of the sky directly on to me.

 

[Smeggs]

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

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

That Salmon is a spy.

Found a dead hunter next to a corpse of a frost troll. That and I used dead thrall on a bandit, he disappeared. Now whenever I walk around town people are like "That spell looks dangerous!" ALL OF MY HATE.

 

[freaper]

I found a crazy old lady, if I remember correctly she had no clothes on, south of Winterhold. She kept rambling on about the Wabbajack, and asked me to hit her with it. But when I went to get the staff from my house, she was gone. Anyone's got a story about her?

 

[J4RD]

This may be part of some quest I'm not aware of, but there were these blue orb things knocking things over and following me in this dungeon I found. I cleared the place no problem, but I never found an explanation for it.

I thought the point of Skyrim was to murder, pillage, and rape everything in sight without getting caught and then killing everything else when you do get caught...Are you telling me I've been doing it wrong this whole time? What? I'm supposed to SAVE them from dragons not feed the children to the flying lizards? BLASPHEMY!!!

No no no.. you're dragonborn, right? That means dragon are your kinfolk and what you *really* should be doing is saving the dragons when they come over to say hello, and the idiot guards and people fail to understand that things bursting into flame is just a side-effect of dragon conversation -- if they were smart, they wouldn't build things so flimsily.

Anyway, the point of the game is helping the dragons once again take their rightful place as the benevolent overlords of Skyrim.

I always assumed a dragon conversation wasn't over until one or both parties were dead.

Raj was walking down street. Nothing out of ordinary.

Hit with cart. Not run over, not walked into, not stepped on. Raj was literally hit with flying cart. Knocked me flat on arse. When Raj wake up ((reload save after exiting building)), hit with cart again.

Not sure where cart comes from, but it hurts. Maybe Santa doesnt like Raj, trying to give me karma i deserve. Could be Wife Mjolls doing. Wouldnt doubt she angry over Hag witch head i left on table.

Best not ask. Raj get around. Collect many things in travels.

I ran around a corner in Riften, to find 4 heavily armed bandits, dead, all with a contract for me given out by Farengar Secret-Fire.

To this day, I have no idea who killed them. Must've been my guardian angel, always looking out for me.

What it is is if you talk to someone then enter your house before they're done talking they spawn inside your house then leave right away. I've had it happen to me on countless occasions. My advice to you... "Throw a party" *Hint hint* Oblivion players will get it.

One mystery I have I have no bounty in Markarth yet when I entered the Dwemer museum (This is after I gained the right to explore it) There's this one room labeled laboratory so I went in thought I'd steal a few items and be on my merry way. But as I was walking around this guard runs up to me and says that I have a huge bou... he exits conversation without finishing and starts attacking me, what in the world is up with that...? The sad thing is I think in the lab one of the Stones of Bahrinzah is in there

There are just so many Skyrim threads, I couldn't find the big questions-megathread one, so I'm just gonna have to ask here.

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.

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

I haven't heard of the thieves just vanishing but multiple people have been reporting robberies.

Ran across some of the companions out in the wild - for the second time - as they tried to take two giants and a mammoth down. Something weird happened to one of the male companions - Vilkas, I think, and he got stuck in the ground, with only his chest and head visible. The really odd bit was that he actually seemed faster than before, so I had this half sunken companion zooming along through the ground next to Aela. Kinda ruined the immersion, but it was pretty damn funny.
