Craziest event you've seen

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 12:04 am

Too many to relate. recently I saw a rooster (from a farm added by a Unique Landscapes mod) attack and kill a bandit.

Also recently I saw a giant slaughterfish (probably 50 feet high) floating in mid air and drifting slowly across the landscape. I gave chase to get a good screenshot, but got attacked by a bear and died.

I watched Shameer use his hoe on Tamika while they were sitting next to each other. He would not stop molesting her with the sharp pole.

Speaking of Shameer, I was playing through the main quest again, reinventing my main character as I sometimes do, and this time without using fast travel at all or only in exceptional circumstances. I had just gotten Martin from Kvatch and was in the process of bringing him back to Weynon Priory. I had also installed MMM for the first time, so I was sticking to the roads to avoid danger. Once I got to Skingrad, Shameer was out on the fields, and I saw him switch to sneak mode. I stopped to watch, because I always love seeing NPCs steal from one another because they usually get caught and then violence ensues.

I watched Shameer approach and started to wonder where exactly he was going. Much to my surprise, he pickpocketed Martin Septim. I don't know what he took, I assume food. Martin caught him and said something brief, I don't remember, but he didn't seem to mind all that much. I just found it funny that Shameer stole from the man who was technically the Emperor, nor did I expect an interaction with one of my followers. Just goes to show how awesome the AI in Oblivion is and how it can adapt to whatever is going on around it.

Well, I fought against a regular NPC in Bravil, and I throwed flameballs ( or something ) on him. A guards saw this and ranto arrest me. Precisly when he was next to the NPC I fought with I threw a flameball on him. ANd then somehing weird happend.
The guard also got hurt by it but somehow registered it as if the NPC attacked him. The guard drawed his sword and killed the innocent NPC. Then he walked away....

Here is another one. I am using the 'Power attack voicemod' mod in two case in two fights my character said "I fought mud crabs better then you." They were mud crabs.

Using OOO 1.34 I seen a Shadow wolf and two imps. In sneak mod and using bow and arrow I snipe the wolf and knocked the wolf out but did not kill it outright. Then when the wolf woke up and attack the imps.

I was a level 1. I ran into the ruins where you find Umbra. I attacked her hoping to get her special ebony armor and her Umbra sword, but she was impossibly strong so I decided to run. She must have followed me all the way back to the Imperial City because when I entered the Talos Plaza District, not long after I witnessed Umbra slaughter the entire Talos guard force single-handed. The fight went on for a LONG time. After she had killed all of the Talos guards I ran to the Market district where she then killed countless more innocent lives. This pattern went on in each of the Imperial City Districts. Umbra literally DESTROYED the Imperial city by herself that day. Finally she was felled near the entrance to the Imperial Prison. I took her armor and weapon, and left the Imperial City in its ruined state.

The Orc you saw was probably http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Adventurer He has a chance of spawning in certain dungeons, and will hack away at whatever's in there


No he was a marauder, not an adventurer I checked well because it was so strange.
My guess was that he was went into alert state because of me, but lost me and found the rat. At close to master in sneak enemies has a good chance of loosing track of you.

I have seen this happen many times in dungeons occupied by both marauders and creatures, or bandits and creatures. Many times I come upon dead mudcrabs and rats with arrows in them, along with an archer in the same room, etc...

Yes, believe they mostly spawn together and start to fight automatically much like rockmilk cave. Other times they spawn apart and roaming bandits attack the creatures.
Bonus it they run into their own traps,

I doing the Dark Brotherhood quest to kill family members. I got too cocky after the last one I killed before this one because I told her son that his mother squealed like a pig when killing her and he attack me. There is a imperial guard inside the tavern and the guard killed him because he attack my character first.

So I tried to do the same thing to her daughter in Leyawiin and well I just say it half work. The citizens defended me but the guard defended her and my character did not touch her. The citizens fighting the guards and the guards were on me and the daughter fighting citizens. One of the citizens kill her. My character ran out off Leyawiin like cat in heat and the guard gave chase. As my character is swimming, either got attack by a fish or an lucky arrow got my character.

As my character got out of the water kept on running. There is a fight at the rope bridge just beyond Water Edge if you going towards Bravil. All I can see was green swills and it was dark (Because I have 80% darker nights) could not tell who's who. I drank night eye potion and fight was against bandits and goblins. The goblins were looking for their shaft which I left them in White Stallion Cottage.

I have FCOM installed, and was running from Bravil to Skingrad and saw two Uberhulk Queens fighting two Lesser Balrogs. I helped the Balrogs drop the Queens, and then dropped one of the Balrogs, then turned to take out the other one, only to see it standing there, and I can only explain it as 'exploding' like a grenade over and over for no reason whatsoever. Was pretty damn funny.

Another time, I was running from Cheydinhal to Leyawiin and used Blood Turbulance, and forgot I had the upgraded one (1200 range, knockback for those that don't know what it is), ended up in a fight with about 25 NPCs, constantly having to blow them back to have a chance. Eventually they all attacked eachother and it was just a big massacre, was pretty funny.

One thing that comes to mind is every once in a while you see a really stretched out piece of clothing or armor. It can be as long as from one end of the room to the other. When you grab it it bounces around like a basketball on steroids until it lands somewhere and you′re able to see what it was :tongue:

Killed a guy infront of a second NPC..

2nd NPC: Pfft... Better him than me.

He didnt call the gaurds or anything and he said that, so I let him live out of respect.

One of the weirdest things that happened to me was, when I was
Spoiler
Sneaking through the levels of the Imperial Palace, the first time I'd done that quest to steal an Elder Scroll, About ten guards ran past me with their weapons sheathed. I thought they were coming for me, but they ran up to the next level where the monks turned out to be. I followed them and it was just crazy, there was so many NPCs in there my game was lagging and they were all killing each other. Even the monks got involved and the guards just killed them, until there was one guard left and he started checking the bodies then walked back down to the lower level.


I wish I had been on the PC and got screenshots, but I was playing it on the XBOX when it happened.

Mine happened just recently. Im currently using OOO+MMM and I was doing that quest in the sunken sewers where you get Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes Volume 4. I had just gotten the book and was on my way to exit the sewers when I walked into a room where I found around 50 dead Goblins and Durzogs strewn all over the place and the only thing alive was a little gore rat with a couple of hp left. It was so random all these dead creatures and the only thing living was the weakest creature out of all of them.

Clearly that's just what the rat wanted you to think. ;)

Well, this isn't THAT crazy, but it's certianly amusing/random.

So, i arrive in the Imperial City Market district, on my way to the Gilded Carafe, and for some unkown reason Ontus Vanin decides to go postal on me, had to put him down with an arrow to the heart. I'm somewhat confused, as i was having a conversation with him only the other day...

I have no bounty and the guards didn't bat an eyelid so i'm assuming he just went insane. :shrug:

That is a documented bug. It is because both of you were members of the Mages Guild. He has a -5 disposition modifier to all members of the Mages Guild, which is multiplied by your rank in the guild. So as you get to a higher rank, he will turn hostile.

I once found http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion460.jpg crossing Lake Rumare. A few moments later the crewman http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion461.jpg.

Then later I came upon http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion464.jpg


I think I recognize that place the forrester is at.
If Im right, its north east of Lleyawin, where a bandit has a tendency to spawn inside a rock.

I was in the middle of a sigil tower in oblivion (The Bloodfeast? Or sigil sancrulum, I can't remember.) I was nearing the top and I blasted a fireball at a Dremora, he went flying off and started going down the center of the tower, I was near the top and he let out his death scream just as he went out of sight. Felt very much like an epic hero scene from a movie.
Other moments would be after casting stark reality all the guests tried to slaughter the guard.

Once while gallivanting through Bravil I heard like 4 or 5 gaurds yell "FOR THE EMPEROR!" and watched them run out of the city. Naturally I followed them to right outside Leyawiin where they killed the single mudcrab around before running all the way back to Bravil.
