Also by servant of a daedra... is it like with the statues you can talk to in oblivion or is there an actual daedra prince you can interact with properly :D?
You interact directly with Sheogorath and ..somewhat directly with Hircine. Rest I've met (Vaermina, Clavicus Vile and Azura) were disembodied voices. I'm trying to find Jyggalag but no luck so far.

I also got the thugs and Dark Brotherhood, weird since I hadn't pissed anyone off yet (Since then, I managed to seriously annoy most important factions in the game)

I had a bug where a mask made my face disappear.

I got off my horse and it just flew into the sky. Couldn't even find its corpse. At least it was a stolen horse, not a bought one but it was still weird and a bit unnerving.

I've met a lot of dragons to the point where I just ignore them to continue with my quests and shopping. At one point my horse, a mammoth, a bear and a wolf attacked a dragon...I wish I would have had the foresight to have fraps on and film it because it looked damn epic. Until they noticed me around and attacked me.

If you want to become a werewolf, you could join the companions. You only need like a fourth of the whole companion quest chain to become one.

3. Giants suck. One hit and you get to experience a birds-eye view of Skyrim... well a corpse-birds-eye view...
giants are awesome, kite them and they drop epic loot

alternatively when you get a full set of dragon, just walk up to them and stuff a sword through their skull
i got an awesome kill animation first time i tried this

( currently rocking 370 health and 390 armour, and 70+ damage sword and i'm quite sure you can get allot more!
they barely scratch me before they learn the word annihilation )

and if you want a protip for levelling your smithing to get dragon armour, go to mines ( take a pickaxe.. ) and dig up gold ore and iron ore and make it into gold rings and daggers
they use the least other materials, and are reasonably light.
Wait, when did the subject turn to minecraft?!?!

Beth did say that it's not leveled based, so things like giants will always be strong. Just ignore them, if you don't attack them they're fine.
That's what I thought. Turns out that some giants will attack you regardless of what you've done. I was strolling along, acting like a Dragonborn should, and I come across two giants a short ways up a mountain. "No biggie", I think and I stroll past them. Suddenly my controller starts to shake as the giants chase me and, before I could realise it, I was acting as a one man aeroplane.

OT: Only 3? You're a baby. Try 2 blood dragons, 3 named dragons and about 10 other generic dragons. I find it hilarious that I could kill a dragon in a couple of minutes at level 7 but a Saber Tooth Cat could rip me to pieces in two hits. Now I'm level 17, fuck y'all saber cats.

Children are there, you can hit them for sure, which gets you in trouble
I actually spend almost half a mana bar (I was agitated...) setting a brat in Whiterun on fire. No one seemed to care about it.
Oh, cause I tried to blugeon one of the blighters to death, soon after the town guard were pilling a STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM! x3

I've found if I walk right up close to them they attack me. Walking near them I was ok, when they shake their whacky sticks at me, it's time to piss off. Wild mamoths are ok to approach though. Just make sure they aren't guarded by giants.

Some bandits work in the same way too. You approach, they say to back off, they'll leave you alone if you do.

Jyggalag? But Jyggalag and Sheogorath are the same guy!

Turned into a werewolf and went on a killing spree in Whiterun(Windrun? Can't remember. 4 mauled and naked bodies are still lying in plain sight in the center of the town.

Shot a mammoth with an arrow and watched it slide along the ground at 30meters per second and suddenly disappear.

Had an arrow stuck 3 inches in the air from my body. It stayed until I was hit by another arrow 30 minutes later.

An argonian assassin jumped me while I was picking flowers in the forest. But a pack of wolves and a huge damn bear came out of nowhere and started to maul him. Not wanting to spoil their party I leapt from a cliff into a river and swam to safety. I can still hear his screaming... Poor argonian :(
friendly old bear was your friend, was like oh shit that lizard man is going to hurt my buddy, /maul. as the bear charged his 2 wolf friends were like oh shit and decided to jump in to, they assumed you jumped into the river caused you were scared of the lizard man who surprised you im sure.

It's been confirmed that you cannot contract lycanthropy in Skyrim.
I beg to differ, i've spent 22 ingame days as a Werewolf.

Do the companion quests and they turn you.

2) Skyrim didn't randomly crash half the fucking time.
Please tell me that's just PC D:
If it is on PC it's not everybody.

30 hours played and not 1 crash.

I had 3 thugs on me when I was leaving Solitude but I ran away because the guards were near and I was being accused of thievery. A couple of times I've come across a band of ominous warrior mages, one of whom tried to kill me.

I've killed 3 dragons in total so far but I'm learning new shouts faster than I'm collecting souls. I joined the Companions in Whiterun and was given a starting quest by someone but he didn't really say what to do and it's not in my journal. Help?

Things I have experienced in Skyrim so far:

5. Found the werewolf guys and am currently trying to get them to "bite" me...
I've already done it, don't try to get them to bite you, just keep doing there questline and they'll invite you to be one.

OP: I've had some interesting ones, it is nice how this game isnt that buggy at all though :D

Anyway yeah here's my little list of majorish ones.

1. Game froze 30 minutes in and i had to restart (so frustrated, and so glad that after 15 hours it hasnt happened again xD)

2. A wolf hit me once and i just flung into the air, i wasnt killed by the wolf or anything, he just like threw me lol. Of course i died when i came crashing down.

3. The dragon flying off isnt a bug i'm guessing it's an ai behavior (Who knows though that's just what i think) Also yeah 3 dragons so far, 2nd flew off.

4........ Wait what!?!? 15 hours and thats it!? I think i've died and gone to heaven.

There's a stack of parrots in a tree just outside Riverwood. They're supposed to fly away at your approach, but they aren't set to invisible afterwards, so they just sit there in the tree and do nothing.

It's not under misc. It gets its own section (I'm about 87% sure) :)

If it's still not there at all then bug?

Sorry for dp, just figured i'd let this kind soul know what i think is the answer to his/her problem and my last post was pretty big for another quote and explanation :3

Next time I'm playing I'm putting Fraps on standby.

When I just started I saw a bird. Logical thing to do is shoot it and he it worked. Nice little thing.
So I was walking around later on in the game and saw an other bird, cast Ice spear and.. uh.. a bird with 2 ice spears beside its body flying on. wait whut? (they seem to autolock when close enough but never hit).

I sorta missed a piece of water. It was there, it was just invisible. A nice square piece :p

Fighting a dragon, when it does its usual flyby and decides to land half mile away to torch a poor little wabbit before going back to pummeling me.
Later when the dragon was dead (few quick loads later) I walked up to the shrine when a lich-thingy rose from its grave and hit me square in the face with a fireball. Instakill.

Not sure it was random or not, but while on a companion's quest I had to go to some mountins. On the way there I found a guy sitting near a raided caravan. He asked me to escourt him back to his camp, and when we got there he jumped out with about 6-8 other bandits and attacked.

I've also seen random NPCs fighting over horses.

and the only other thing that comes to mind is while I was fighting a fort of necromancers, a dragon flew by and raised hell. Mind you the necromancers were far more concerned with me (and rightfully so) but it did strike me odd that they cared about one man over a dragon.

A Blood Dragon randomly decided to attack me while i was out shopping in Dawnstar... Currently hoping for a dragon attack in Whiterun or any other the properly walled cities

Oh and i accidentally stole a paddle in a pub and some beast of a guard drew his greataxe and flung himself down the corridor at me (like a super rugby tackle but with an axe involved)

No giant related stuff cuz i correctly assumed that they would own me until around lvl 10

Also Shouting people off cliffs is fun

While not odd because it's a technical glitch or anything, I just fought a...

Giant mecha that shot lasers from it's mouth and had shoulder mounted frost cannons or something

The hell, Dwarves?
