Skyrim Oddities

[triggrhappy94]

Things I have experienced in Skyrim so far:

1. Attacked by "thugs" because apparently someone thinks I stole from them (Moira?). 3 armed thugs jumped me in the wild, and I beat them down (barely). Found a note on them saying they were just supposed to "scare" me or some such thing...

2. I was riding my horse and an argonian appeared sneaking around me. I hopped off the horse and the argonian attacked, revealing itself as an "assassin", which I promptly killed in 2 or 3 blows. Hardly much of an assassin, it didn't even attack me while I was on the horse... it did decide to dual-wield tho, which was interesting to watch. Found another note on the assassin from the dark brotherhood detailing how "someone" wanted me dead.

3. Giants suck. One hit and you get to experience a birds-eye view of Skyrim... well a corpse-birds-eye view...

5. Found the werewolf guys and am currently trying to get them to "bite" me...

#1,2: How'd you manage to piss people off?

#3: I've actually been looking around online and some people are saying that that's one of those glitchs Bethseda wants to keep

#5: Just get farth enough in the campions quest line. Also, its fun to be a werewolf.

OT:
Well I'm currently stuck in a glitch from the House of Horror quest (see my thread about it).

I punted a spider over a hundred yards. I jumped to attack me at the sametime I hit it with a fully charged Unrelenting shout.

I have decapatated SO many people

I got married with Ysolda after bringing her a mammoths tusk. However, I haven't seen her after the wedding. Seriously, she's nowhere in Whiterun! I guess she got cold feet.

Also, I'm a werewolf and a Thane in two villages.

How do you get married? Im playing the 360 version and haven't seen anything on it. I'm also playing as an Argonian, if that effects anything.
Also she was probably a victum of the notorius world-geometry-killer. He'll snatch up any unsuspecting NPC and drop them in an endless abyess of sky-box-ness.

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?

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

No I had a look ,it must be a bug. What did you have to do in the first quest? If I complete it, it might let me do the next one.

 

[triggrhappy94]

Playing as a cold-blooded individual and not dying of hypothermia yet.
I think that's the biggest oddity

 

[caviar1]

i encountered random npcs non story or quest related that regenerated health faster then i could hit them with/o spells. on a separate note, how great are the side conversations in this game. i keep catching myself waiting for someone to finish small talk before asking them for stuff. that is immersion

 

[Wintermoot]

1. turned vamp and when I tried to finish the cure quest I had already advanced to stage 4 had to restart
2. slain the first non-story dragon on my new character
3. got launched by a giant
4. tried to imitate the jump from the trailer resulting in death
5. put various objects on NPC head,s (IE ketel,s basket,s etc.)
6. tried to toast a child resulting in her saying that I shouldn't play with fire.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

An argonian assassin jumped me while I was picking flowers in the forest.

THIS is why I love this game! Anything can happen and it's just so totally random.

OT: The first time I used the full power Unrelenting Force shout was on a couple of wolves on a road in the middle of nowhere. There was a group of people just ahead I wanted to talk to, so I dispatched the wolves first with my shout. Yeah... it turns out it was soooo powerful that the wolves shot into the distance and the group of people went flying too!

Needless to say, they didn't take too kindly to that.

2) Skyrim didn't randomly crash half the fucking time.

Fucking this. Sometimes I get lucky and manage to play for a few hours without a crash. Right now with my current save, I load it and walk a few steps then an instant crash to desktop. Bethesda need to hurry up with a patch because at the moment the game is nearly unplayable. Which is a damn shame because I am making some damn fine progress.

1 thing:
control panel > sound > select your speakers, then 'properties' > advanced

and set to: 24 bits, 44100 Hz

save and exit

Doesn't work. Boyfriend went and bought me Skyrim on my Xbox so I wouldn't keep kicking him off. He did that and it keeps crashing.

My fix? Console version :\

Go to Riften and find the priest of Mara. He'll explain it all. I doubt that your race really matters.

And yes, my poor Dunmer's wife is gone and now he's fueled by the rage of his love lost! So fueled that he occasionally turns into a werewolf!

 

[thethingthatlurks]

There's the chicken thing. I accidentally set a chicken on fire, and the entire village proceeded to gang up on me. Seriously, do not fuck with their chickens. They can forgive an attack on children, but once poultry is involved...

Oh, and M'aiq is in the game! Running into him somewhere in the wilderness totally made my day!

Also, who the hell is Moira? I don't recall ever running into that guy (girl?), but somehow they decided to send some thugs after me.

 

[RN7]

I attempted to destroy a town with the might of my Dragon Shout that staggers people for about a second and deals 2 points of damage. I also turned into a vampire and it was night so I was pretty confident. Everyone died except like 2 kids. I immediately thought "It's time to work on that child-killing mod" and right afterwards I killed a guard and his body apparently, and entertainingly merged with a wall, after which his corpses began spazzing out Radscorpion style.

Man, I love Bethesda.

There is a vendor woman in the market square. Talk to her and win the fistfight.

I was battling a dragon that snuck up on me while travelling, when this guy runs up and hands me a mace, then tells me to keep shtum - "If you rat me out I'll find you and kill you" He then spots the dragon and runs away stating "Death is not the greater part of valour" in a high pitched wimpy voice.

After killing the dragon a guy runs up asking if I just saw somebody shifty go past, I hand his mace over to him and point the guy out - Fugitive contracts a nasty case of Arrowfaceitus, and I get more gold!

2) Skyrim didn't randomly crash half the fucking time.

Please tell me that's just PC D:

I played 12 hours straight yesterday on the 360 with no issues aside from Giants flinging me into the sky.

I played for 23.6 hours straight according to Steam and I haven't had one issue, and I'm on PC?
In fact I've never had issues with crashing in Bethesda games yet it seems so commonplace.

I got a bounty to clear out a bandit den, and the bandit on guard out front was stirring a pot of soup, said good morning and totally didn't aggro. so I went inside and slaughtered everyone, and on my way out the guard was just leaning on the wall, casual as. I left them alive and every time I go past we're like "sup?"

 

[Sammi Costello]

I matched most enemies I've encounterd quite well, but when I went up the mountain to High Hrothgar I came across a frost troll who kept killing me in 2 strikes....

Yeah, that Frost Troll was a total douche-nozzle. I found it difficult, and I was a Mage, with Fire magic, a Flame summon, destruction dual-casting AND a follower (Lydia, I believe).

It killed me the first time, while I was on my way tp High Hrothgar. Which wouldn't be so bad, if I had saved since leaving Whiterun.

As for oddities, I've had the Thugs come after me, but I just ran off (Mage, cloth armor, high sprint speed against enemies all dressed in what seemed to be heavy armor). I also had a bar-brawl with a bard, to defend to loins of a fair maiden. That was interesting.

Hahahaha, awesome. I had something like that happen to me. I was heading west from Whiterun, when I passed a small cave in a hill. Outside were a couple of bandits, one kneeling by the entrance, playing with something on the ground, the other obviously standing guard. I approached cautiously, weapons down, when the one on guard spoke up, "That's far enough."

I momentarily entertained the idea of murderating them right then and there, but I just walked on by and they were cool with it.

I plan on going back and testing their patience. ^_^

 

[Gindaff]

A random thug came up to me and told me to hold on to an Iron Mace of Embers, said he'd come back for it and kill me if I didn't have it. I haven't seen him in about 12 hours of play time. I'd probably disintegrate him anyways... Good ol' Skyrim.

Also two giant sabre tooth tigers attacked me out of nowhere at about level 7 and killed me in one hit each, being the frail little mage that I am.

One guy interrupted me while I was being pounded to death by a fucking dragon to give me a pair of boots for safekeeping. Because I hadn't worked out how to skip dialogue by then, I was not pleased...

Oh, I was being attacked by a dragon outside of Riften, and the guards were helping me. Then one guard turned to me and said, "You have to pay the entrance tax to get inside Riften."

DUDE, THERE'S A DRAGON RIGHT THERE.

I love oblivious NPCs. An undercover thieves guild member just loudly insulted the man we were stealing from while standing right next to him.
