By Talos, so many funny things have happened that this is about to become a monstrous post. Where do I begin?
1) I was walking down a path in the middle of the day when suddenly I see a random dude crouched in a bush a mile away. Being a stealth character, I decide the safest way to handle this is to sneak up behind him and check him out before I decide weather to talk to him or kill him. The pick pocket tooltip comes up, telling me that this NPC is called "Brotherhood Assassin." Picking his pocket, I discover a note, which I steal, and then read. Turns out that the Brotherhood has accepted (and already been paid for) a contract to kill me. Naturally, I sneak attack the crappy assassin, killing him instantly. Really, the Brotherhood should consider outsourcing.
2) On that same character, I accepted a quest to recover a sword for a guy. "Sure, why not?" I said, and made my way towards the camp that he had tracked the sword to. I find the camp nestled into a natural cleft in the mountain, surrounded by a wooden palisade and heavily fortified. As a stealth character, a direct assault would end in my death, so I attempt to wait until nightfall. However, right before I hit the "t" button to wait, I notice a group of giants not far from the camp. There is no way I can take them on, and I wasn't able to "Wait" while they were around, so I watch. Suddenly, one of the bandit sentries spots the giants from his spot on the wall, and alerts the camp. He then proceeds to fire an arrow at the giant. Last mistake he ever made. The giants go berserk, and proceed to DECIMATE the camp, sending bandit after bandit into orbit. There were no survivors. After it's safe I make my way into the camp... and learn that it's a camp of mammoth poachers. Talk about comeuppance.
3) Sometimes, before I quit, I decide to go on a massacre. This particular character was a level 24 sword-and-board Nord, and a member of the companions. Well, I decided to see how strong this new enchanted bow was by shooting a guard; I missed, unfortunately, and hit a little girl instead (which, as you may know, didn't hurt her, but DID piss off the guards). Well, me and Lydia made short work of the guards and the few townspeople who attacked us, and soon, the entire town was dead (or, at least, those who I could kill were dead). That's when I noticed something peculiar. Turns out that if you join the companions, they will fight anything that becomes hostile toward you, no matter what that happens to be. So, I watched as Every single member of the companions proceeded to chase around the little girl I had accidentally shot, hacking her with swords and axes, and taunting her meager fighting ability (Re: Running and Crying) as they did so. Talk about honorable warriors.
4) God damn, horses are brazen. I had a horse for five minuets, before coming upon a forsworn camp. I made sure to keep my horse a safe distance away as I approached the camp... not that it mattered. As soon as combat started, there was my horse, rushing into combat and taking out three forsworn by itself, before getting killed by arrows. Cost me a thousand gold, but it was certainly worth a laugh. Never rode a horse again.
5) On the note of bad-ass horsies, I was wandering around in the wilderness one day, looking for a tower that was near by, when suddenly I gained a Dragon Soul. Confused, I looked around until I found a Dragon corpse, along with several dead bandits, and a single, slightly injured horse, standing proudly among it's spoils.
