Skyrim Oddities

[kebab4you]

snip

You can kill children in this game?

Nope, at least not with a mod, not even the "kill" command from console work on them, fucking brats one day I will get my revenge on them for being rude towards me...

Oh right oddities, uhh...

Spoiler: Minor spoiler so just in case

dark brotherhood showed up during one night at my house and took me out to the marsh, thinking it was one of these mandatory quest I quick saved(so I wouldn't get on bad terms with them) and tried to kill the girl that had just captured me, to my surprise it worked she didn't just get knocked unconscious, stole her equipment and freed the prisoners

Walked into a bar, only to come out 30 seconds later to have a dragon burning half the town to ashes.

Killing of a stray dog only to enter the town a few kilometres away and being asked about a run away dog that was roaming the forrest, whops.

Edit: Just ran across a headless horseman when I was out hiking.

I set a chicken on fire when no one was around and somehow I got a bounty in an entirely different city.

Chickens, man. They fucking network.

 

[puff ball]

ive seen 2 separate dragons killed by giants. the first time it happened there was also a pack of mammoths with them who immediately turned on me afterward.

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

I stole some guy's staff and within seconds a band of Bandits with a note came cavorting over the horizon. My wizard buddies and I taught them a swift sharp lesson though.

Also the chicken thing, I didn't even kill it I accidentally torched it a bit and without anyone even seeing there was a blood vendetta. I ended up having to reload a save because I massacred a village and I needed them alive for quest stuff. Fucking loving it, even just wandering around getting lost...

Also those giants are insane.

 

[Tharwen]

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...

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

I had a nerdgasm when I was given a spell to summon an old friend from the Dark Brotherhood.

Spoiler

I can summon the ghost of Lucien Lachance.

 

[Machiavellian007]

Doing the quest Innocence Lost, I listen to the woman who runs the orphanage talking, then I stalk her into her room. She sits at the desk, I shoot her with an arrow...

... and then she sinks through the fucking floor.

Only to reappear in the orphan's main bedroom area.

What the fuuuuuuck.

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.

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.

That's how they work. They're giants. Uberstrong.

Sounds like a fun way to die. I've gotten close to one giant so far, and he just stomped on me.

Weirdest experience I've had so far: I've started two separate characters and taken them in as wildly different directions as possible - and in both scenarios, one of the very first NPCs I encountered turned out to be that walking easter-egg, M'aiq the Liar. What are the odds?

Oh, and I'm having some trouble hunting down that serial killer in Windhelm. I'm instructed to examine the scene (nothing happens no matter how long I stare at the bloodstain), and to enlist the help of the leader of the guards (who doesn't seem to have the requisite dialogue option). OK, it's still early, there's one patch so far, so there's bound to be a broken quest or seventeen, but I welcome any advice on the matter.

 

[PottymouthGamer]

I got kidnapped by a dark brotherhood chick and she made me kill 1 of three people. Was the coolest thing I have ever done.

 

[Insanity72]

Things I have experienced in Skyrim so far:


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

hahaha that happened to me too, i thought since it didn't attack me on sight i could walk up and talk to him, thats when he clubbed me 1 hundred feet into the air XD

 

[Somatsu]

Vampire aids.

Lol.
I like that, but I think the 'proper' word for it is 'porphyric haemophilia.' Spelling might not be right.

Hmm. I just had a thought that a 'vampire aids awareness' campaign as part of a viral marketing thing for a vampire game would be cool

The vampire sickness seems to have gotten a weird name change since Oblivion. I believe it's supposed to be 'Sanguinare Vampiris'. I like porphyric hemophilia better.

 

[-Ezio-]

does anyone else have a stupidly strong sword arm? i swear everytime i kill someone with my sword they get thrown about 10 meters back like i hit them with unrelenting force.

not that i'm complaining. it's ossum.

 

[QPCloudy]

Remember in Fallout 3 when you took the spoon and the entire town went after you like a lynch mob? Well in Riverrun, I killed a chicken, and the entire town was after me. I actually had to reload a previous save.

Follow the blood stains till you get an update, they are like blotches like someone kept dropping the body.

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.

I also found the breathe fire shout, which is awesome. Haven't used it on a dragon yet tho but its pretty effective when you're mobbed by enemies. Saved my ass 2 or 3 times so far.
All in all this game is pretty cool, and I like the idea that your actions can come back to haunt you. I think I screwed up tho at the start. I wanted to side with the Stormcloaks but ended up with the Imperials, I wonder if there's a way to join the Stormcloaks instead of the Imperials anyway... I haven't officially joined the Imps yet so...

just go to windhelm, as far as i can tell you can still join the storm cloaks if you didn't side with them at the start. i also found a shout called marked for death, i've not unlocked it yet but it sounds awesome.

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

and set to: 24 bits, 44100 Hz

save and exit

 

[higgs20]

i ran into a deadra hunter in the mountains and as it turns out she's also a werewolf hunter,she then asked if i had been tending my hounds because i smelled like wet dog...awkward

 

[Asmundr]

Well...
I was a cow, a horse, then a shaggy dog, and before all that I was green of all things...so nope. No oddities yet xD
