Did you know...

Did you know that you can shoot butterflies and other flying insects (birds too) with arrows? Doing so to butterflies will make 2 butterfly wings fall to the ground.
Haven't tested but destruction magic probably works too, no slow-mo may make aiming difficult though.


Did you know you can just pick butterflies, dragonflies and any other small flying insect out of the sky with your activate button? It's easier than shooting them.

Did you know there used to be a blue Mammoth using a bow in Skyrim called 'Grampy', but they took him out of the game before it was released? ;)

Kuda Bow FTW!

Did you know you can direct your follower to walk circumspectly? Nasty trap activation switches that your followers normally tromp right over. Aranea nearly killed me with one of those swinging gates. Not any more!

Did you know you could remove your Bounty by killing all witnesses?

It even works days after the event. I was approached by a guard a few days after dispatching a target and I refused to pay so we fought, I killed them and a message popped up stating that all witness have been killed* [or something to that effect] and my Bounty was gone.

*of course if killing a witness is witnessed, then things derail rather quickly.

Daedric quest for Sheogorath SPOILER!

Spoiler

Did you know that when you meet Sheogorath and let him carry the conversation he is having with Emperor Pelagius III, he mentions that he was there during the Oblivion Crisis, mentions Martin being the best Spetim and turning into a dragon. Then rambles how he remembers butterflies (The start of SI), a fox (The Gray Fox), a severed head (End of the DB questline in oblivion), and cheese (Sheogorath's favorite "food").

basically, you are talking to your character from Oblivion, canonically.

And as a non-spoiler: Did you notice that since Morrowind, Masser and Secunda have increased in size as if something is happening to the rotting body of Lorkhan...

No problem :wink:

Makes sense though. In SI, you were not just a dude called Sheogorath, Jyggalag mentions how he turns into Sheo, and you would as well over time. That is why he looks alot different than in SI.

Did you know that this thread is going to reach the post limit soon?

Did you know that this thread is ridiculously awesome?

Did you know that these are questions, not statements, and therefore require a question mark at the end and not a period. (I just find it annoying xD)

Did you know that almost all non-named NPCs and creatures are part of "factions" in the game code like in Oblivion, and are almost always hostile toward one another? This is how NPC battles are accomplished on the PC :toughninja:
