Skyrim Mysteries

[QuietBrilliance]

Ive had the problem with people being in my house, it seems to be that if someone starts talking to you as you enter they follow you to finish their sentence and then leave, dont quote me on that though.. I must say if I ever find a thief in my house I will freak out, I have about 200k worth of loot in there. I'm trying to build a collection of every item in the game but forget which ones I already have so I have countless doubles.

I havent had any weird occurances on Skyrim yet though, I had loads on Oblivion though, like the suicide troll.. I found a troll face down in the water with a suicide note next to it saying that it wasnt scary enough and had to kill itself.

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?

read the book "wabbajack"... should explain the situation. Basically, she'd been mind raped by Sheogorath: God of madness.

H'es quite an interesting fellow actually, and i haven't played the DLC for Oblivion

One MYSTERY to me was the fact that a patch came out today. That was meant to make long term play less laggy. And im unable to tell whether its worked or not because suddenly every time I die or load a save just as I died the fucking loading screen freezes.
Its happened 4 times in a row.
For fucks sake Bethesda. I love your games but FUCK.

 

[Risingblade]

I killed the werewolf guy for his hide then a few day later while I'm following a dog I run into him and I'm like wtf I killed and skinned you!

 

[anthony87]

I was doing some shopping in Riverwood in order to train my smithing. As I'm working at the forge, a group of Stormcloak soldiers just wander into the village and slaughter everyone.

And I mean EVERYONE*

They even killed the dog!

*except the children of course.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I was scared shitless in the Burrow near Riverwood, as a Draugr was kicking my ass. I run back and intentionally run over a pressure plate, deploying a spike wall on him.
Fight music stops, I turn around and its gone.
GONE.
In its stead, there's mist and ice on the floor. I didn't even find the Draugr's claymore.

The other strange thing that comes to mind is that I was galloping about on my new horsie, when I come upon a small watering hole. There's a skeletal arm holding an orquish longsword in the middle. I take it and accidentally shout at the mountains due to thinking in terms of Oblivion controls...
I turn around and my horse is gone... I never saw her again.
Edit: It can also not buy the loft upgrade for Breezehome, making my whole house nice... except for my bedroom.

 

[Niko Stepz]

I once walked into my house in Whiterun and saw a child leaving it. Damn children, she better not have stolen anything !

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?

from my experience its whenever someone is talking to me right as i open the door that they appear in my house with me.
it's just a minor bug. nothing to be paranoid about, unless you want to think you're wife is cheating on you....maybe you should stop adventuring so much.

 

[Amondren]

Swimming Deer.

Underwater.

I shit you not.

Ah the mighty Sea Elk I've tusteled with her once or twice yarrrrrr.

 

[ZombieMonkey7]

My house Breezehome I think might be haunted...Items I place around the house have gone missing, are thrown around like a toddler's toys, or sometimes I hear voices that tell me to kill my wife. Now that I think about it she probly took all my stuff and sold it, I'll be right back I've got to take out the trash

 

[werty10089]

My wife is permanently hostile after several in-game years of violent, drunken abuse. I swear she was stealing my power tools. On a related note, two things have really been raising my eyebrows lately about this game. Firstly, bears that can kill dragons. Wtf Bethesda, guess we all know what your favourite animal is. Secondly, the deaf woman living in the ratway. That's all I'm going to say.

 

[chaos order]

this is not my game but my friends. apparently he cannot sleep in his rifton home because there are "enemies" nearby, yet no one else is in the house. in addition the mannequins in his house that he places his spare armor on have mysteriously moved off their stands, but only a couple of inches away from them.

in my game the only weird thing i have run into was on my way through dragons bridge i came across the headless horseman. its likely not a glitch and i tried to follow him but a dragon attacked me.

 

[FreebirdLegend]

I have seen the headless horseman twice now. What is his purpose anyway?

I think your friend's character might be a paranoid schizophrenic

 

[dslatch]

once say a headless guy riding a horse right finding a random dead dragon, I was confused about which one won...

 

[Robert Ewing]

There is a cave with an infinite number of bears that spawn inside it.

Seriously, the second I enter the cave, there is a MOUNTAIN of lag, and then I see a dead straight conga line of angry cave bears, endlessly running toward me.

Trust me, they never end. I turned on god mode and fought them for hours. They didn't stop coming.

 

[Regeaj]

First time I enter Breezehome, I see a Whiterun guard, I just go past him and he leaves, later the guy who helps Belethor at his shop, the one who chops wood, is in my house, I am, at this point, thinking wtf, later an old woman (forgot her name since I've been doing Thieves Guild quests) is in my house, at this point I'm thinking, how do they get in my house, don't you need a key for that, I mean I had to get one for it and put it in my invisible leather tardis.. I mean backpack, I'm sure that Lydia also has one, so what the heck.

 

[Regeaj]

Sanguine, you get drunk, sort of follow the basic plot of The Hangover, or you can pay Ysolda 2,000 septims which I did, and get the Sanguine Rose to summon a Dremora who, unlike in Oblivion, won't later attempt to kill you.

Edit: this was suppose to be reply about the Sam Guivenne guy

 

[M-E-D The Poet]

Seriously, no, I've never seen anyone in my house except for Lydia.

Lydia is dead. Her steel sword has been enchanted, named 'Lydia' and mounted on the plaque at the top of the stairs.

What if...nah. There's no such thing as ghosts.

What would make that story better, is if you used a black soul gem to capture a soul trapped Lydia, and enchanted her sword with that.

Seriously now, I have no idea who that one guy is.

I have to go with that other guy and agree that your wife is being unfaithful.

you're a damn genius

Easy. It was probably an NPC who had been talking to you outside the house, hadn't finished his sentence, and went inside to do so. Happens all the time. It's a bug, but eh. No biggie.
