Yeah umm.. i was power training my restoration(360) and i heard M'raaj-dar say get away from me, so i turned around and looked. Then out of nowhere Antoinetta Marie and M'raaj-dar started fighting and she killed him!

Shouldn't this go into the Oblivion general discussion or something?

I once had Ocheeva randomly attack the crazy Orc. He kept screaming "Why, sister?" until she killed him. Total WTF moment.

But yeah, wrong forum.

I saw Ocheeva attack Antoinetta Marie.

I saw a mud crab the other day, horrible creatures.

Not bad meat though.

Lmfao.

Nothing cool like this ever happened to me in Obliv. :/

I seriously just LOST IT when I read that and laughed for quite a long time. That was great.

Anyway, I've never seen any of the Dark Brotherhood attack each other, and I've probably done that faction more than any other in the game. I wonder what caused it. I've seen a lot of other random people attacking me or other NPCs. Weirdest thing was when I saw a Dark Seducer in the Tiber Septim Hotel who then attacked me when I had already become the Madgod. Can't explain why that happened.

The Tiber Septim Hotel is a weird place. It's designed so that if any NPC or the player, or a creature, should suddenly find itself without the cell it was inhabiting, it will get shunted to the Tiber Septim Hotel. No idea why they chose there of all places.

That is pretty........neat

That sounds like an episode of the twilight zone or something similar.
"yes sir, things just turn up here. no-one knows why."

I don't recall using teleportation, and yet there I was. Alone. Naked.

It's threads like these that make me glad this forum isn't as heavily moderated as others. That and for the most part we moderate ourselves. Except when someone mentions how Oblivion butchered the Lore. Then duck and cover.

Oblivion butchered lore
(just playin')

Playing with fire my friend. Playing with fire.

I think that's your answer right there. You're expecting things to make sense by then?

Yeah! Now let's compare Oblivion unfavorably with Morrowind.

:) Just kidding.

:ahhh: indeed :ahhh:

What's the news from the other parts of Tamriel?

Nothing i would like to talk about

I hear daedra worship is becoming increasingly prevalent in Summerset Isle......

Weirdest thing that's happened to me with Oblivion's AI? First time i'm playing (as a thief) and I steal a horse from Weynon Priory (didn't think to ask for it.) When I get near Kvatch (didn't want to fast travel anywhere) I am suddenly attacked by this priest. Brother... Martin his name was. Couldn't figure it out till I got Kvatch and remembered why i recognized the name. Still don't know why he was roaming the wilderness.

One of the greatest things about oblivion is what I call emergent AI.
It has it drawbacks such as people persistently walking off a ledge and killing themselves, but I will never forget that one time I saw Glarthir go into sneak mode and actively seeking out and attacking his quest targets before I had started the quest.
I only followed him to see why he snuck, but, wow.

I think in your case Martin may have attacked you because he could have belonged to the faction you stole your horse from, and him appearing in the wild was because as soon as he sensed you he headed your way?
That would make sense at least, some things simply dont. People randomly kill people even when I make sure food is nearby and they have money on them. (I thought a while it was because low responsibility+ want to eat = steal food and get killed.) But some NPC's just seem to have a bit of a murderer in them.

Anyway, about this randomly appearing at the Tiber Septim, Im sure there is some fan fiction in that.
Im not all that great of a writer but if I have time Ill write some little ditty about a luckless traveller who gets to deal with this Pandora's box. (As I wrote in a post above 'things just turn up here, no one knows why.')
Some ideas on that would be welcome.
I was thinking something along the lines of: the chicken with the golden eggs meets you were warned.
Duck, duck, duck, dremora.

But if there are more talented authors out there Id gladly hand you this idea to chew on.
Elder scrolls meets twilight zone. Who can resist?
