Accidents in Skyrim

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 4:13 pm

Hey guys and gals,

I just wanted to share a funny story with you.

I was on a mission for another word of power in one of the ancient ruins. In the last room I had come across a dragon priest and a drauger overlord. After killing the priest, I proceeded to run up the stairs to take care of the overlord, but Aela was in my way. No matter how hard I tried, she would not move and I could not jump over her. I was being shot by arrows from the drauger so I had no choice. I sometimes find that if you slash your followers a couple of times they will move, but I guess I held the button a little too long because the game went into a cut scene power attack and I killed Aela with a sharp stab to the belly. During this some profanity spewed from my mouth and then went up the stairs and killed that pesky overlord. I was a little pissed at myself due to the fact that she was carrying quite a bit of valuable loot that I could sell. I will go back and pick at her corpse after I drop some stuff off.

All I have to say is that the biatch had it coming! She's been annoying me for quite some time.

My small blue cat trod on my keyboard while he was trying to get me to give him a cuddle and whirlwind sprinted me off the top of a mountain...

I was fighting against some bears when some stranger came up to me and gave me some thing or other. Couldn't fight against the bears, couldn't drink a potion -> dead...

Went to jump off a mountain to get to the bottom quicker, thought I had Become Ethereal "equipped," jumped off, cast my Power, which turned on Night Eye and I died. D'oh!

I've accidentally shouted several times. In one case, my cats bumped R2 and shouted a blacksmith. I dropped the controller and picked up the wrong one (new, not charged), although it didn't matter because I was reloading, anyway. Another time, I went to set it down and dropped it too hard, shouting a merchant woman.

Just today, I saw the guards go to jump something. I didn't see what it was--creature or thief or what. So I hit the first thing.i saw, a guy next to me. He turned out to be a guard, not a bandit. Sigh.

I was riding my horse and had to change the batteries in my controller, thought i had paused the game but obviously hadn't as I got attacked by a bear, mid battery-change. Then for some reason, my horse and I were drifting very very slowly over the landscape, at a scary height above ground. I don't think a giant had hit us or anything. As soon as I got the batteries sorted, and took control again, we plummeted to the ground and died. Well, my horse died, so I jumped off a cliff and reloaded.

The same small blue cat also once made me Shout in Riften marketplace - thankfully the Shout I had active at the time was Aura Whisper so it resulted in a guard giving me a dressing down for frightening the townsfolk rather than complete mayhem...

Exited the temple of Dibella running. Ouch! :pinch:

The Dwemer didn't have too good safety standards. Maybe that's why they disappeared :P

I was travelling somewhere when I saw a couple of guards fight against wolves. Helpful soul that I am, I went over to help them (the guards, not the wolves) - I hit... and the game lags a little, the wolf ports away, and in its place there was suddenly a guard. Erm... he didn't take that very well, and neither did his fellows...
