So I was going Rambo style on a bandit camp when out of nowhere, this guy runs at me and tells me to hang on to this thing and he will pick it up later and then ran off. Naturally the enemies didn't stop shooting at me and let me have this conversation. After about 5 seconds, another guy starts talking to me in the middle of the enemy fire and, of course me being very considerate of others, I stop fighting the bandits back and talk to him while the bandits were bashing my face in. He asked if I saw a thief and I gave him back the item I was handed earlier, while some guy kept trying to bash in my skull, which I ignored ofcourse since I was in the middle of a conversation.

Alvor in Riverwood told me to take whatever I need, within reason. Well apparently taking a pair of boots and a pair of gloves, a couple of swords, a dagger, some money from his table and chest as well as some ingots is reasonable but taking a helmet is not. Also, saving his nephew's live doesn't seem to make him hesitate in sending thugs to kill me for stealing his iron helmet.

I've had the first thing happen to me on several occasions. lol. it's very irritating.

How dare you take his Iron Helmet! :angry:

People saying thanks and praising you for doing a quest for them. and then when you leave the dialogue tree they say some mean [censored] to you like get outta my sight!!!

The helmet was a "hair-loom"... Oh, I kill me... Soooo creative... LOL.

Someone in the Riften "court" (or whatever it's called) will say something like "you're a true friend in my book", and then a second later when I pass him again, "you and I have nothing to discuss..."

i enjoyed an orc chieftain telling me that "the law of malacath isn't written in any book," it's merely lived by their people. i then pick-pocketed the key to his place, went in, and picked up a copy of "the code of malacath" sitting on the little table by his door.

i've encountered a few other hilarious inconsistencies during my time spent in-game, that were more than simple "i like you, now i don't like you" comments, but i can't recall the specifics. obviously this will happen with a game of this scale, and i'm certainly not complaining.

thanks for the fascinating and engrossing world, bethesda.

People telling my character that he's 'pale' all the time, even though -a- he's a Redguard, and -b- he has no illness.

Merchants calling me, alternately, an alchemist or an archer when I enter their store screen, when I'm neither of those things and really all I'm doing is offloading loot on them.

How, if I've killed a dragon, and I enter and leave a place nearby, its skeleton will flop onto the ground outside the place I've entered/exited, regardless of where it was previously, like it's been reanimated just so it can hump me.

How the talking dog near Falkreath vanished during his questline because I hadn't cleared Helgen (?) of looters yet. He stood at a wall, trying, I imagined, to bark at the people skulking just behind it. If only Bethesda had scripted him for that :glare: Might actually have been funny then. :foodndrink:

random encounters attacking each other and you coming round the corner and finding a stack of bodies to loot

I don't see how the item ownership works in this game... I can walk into a store and take X things but there are some Y things that are considered stealing? Apparently the Stormcloaks don't mind me ( A khajiit) waltzing into their camps and taking all their food and such.

Ive had a dead guy send thugs after me.

He died, so I thought: Ill take some of his books, hes not using them anymore.

Few days later some thugs came after me. The dead guy had sent them to teach me a lesson.
He must really like his stuff, to send thugs after me from beyond the grave.

During the final mission with the Companions, we accidentally met some Thalmor on the road. Me not liking those smugfaced Thalmor a bit, instantly started to smash elven skulls.

To my surprise Aela, Farkas and Vilkas apparently did not appreciate this random act of violence and turned against me without hesitation.

Maybe i do not completely understand some of the diplomatic relations in the game. But most of the Companions being true Nords, should have quite some aversion towards the corrupt Thalmor, right?

khajiit caravan told that khajiit are not allowed in cities.
new khajiit in town walks right in no problem.

whiterun bounty for killing 2 imperial soldiers and freeing a storm cloak prisioner, would make sense if i wasnt on the last civial war mission...

before that another storm cloaks mission, im told its open season on imperials so on the way i stopped off at an imperial camp, as they pelted me with arrows, naturaly i couldnt help but kill them al...oh wait nope this guys essential!! why are you here!!! following me everywhere looking for a another fight...but ive downed u 13 times, give up!!!

investigating corruption in marakath i get jumped by some corupt guards, it gives me the option to fight, sweet i think these guys are in serious [censored] ill kill u all and make my escape! oh wait nope once more an essential imperial toss bag!!! thank god theres three auto saves... off to prison then.....

ooh cant forget my favorite, save the town from a dragon get fined for using shouts...and there isnt even a good dialougue responce.

This random encounter quest is funny. Once I was approaching discretly a group of mages in the snowy wilderness Winterhold and Dawnstar, when that guy came to me and asked me to hold an item. That was a big 2-handed hammer and I was carrying just below the maximum. I could almost see his trollface while running away from me. How would I fight the mages now I'm overloaded?
I put a bandana on my head, I pumped my fist and went montage-style on the mage with arrows first then the sprint shout to go melee. After dispatching the last one, I wiped my sweat, proud. And there comes another jerk asking me if I didn't see a thief running with his hammer. I gave him his damn hammer and my best frown face.

Yeah, what the hell is that all about? Why are certain items okay to take?

Assassinated Titus Mede II and decided to join the Imperial Legion.

Tullius then makes you swear an undying loyalty oath to guess who? Titus Mede II

Well heres an odd one that happened to me yesterday:

I was in Riften, I was going through my stuff trying to drop useless items when I dropped my dragonplate armor. Before I could do anything about it though, here comes the mighty Mjoll and says "What do we have here..?" then out from across the shops some Dark Elf cabbage seller says "Keep your hands off that its mine!" and Mjoll responds with "Not if I get it first." then the weirdest thing happens, the Dark Elf lets out a battle cry and charges Mjoll, actually atacking her. Needless to say ofcourse, Mjoll sent her right back to where she came from.

I had no idea npcs would kill each other over something...maybe its just in Riften as people there are poor/thieves

It seems tied to their value. sometimes you open a chest and there are "white" boots and fine clothes are "red". Maybe some NPC tolerate that you take low value items. But it's rather strange when you take all the "white" items in the general store and go sell them to the merchant. :whistling:

Seems all followers have an unhealthy sense of property. I was with Deerkethus lately in the house where you kill some briar-wolves to steal the horse's papers and wanted to trade some of that valuable steel plate armors to Deerkethus so he carries it for me, and he just kept saying "You shouldn't be in here". Wtf does he care ?!?

Did the quest for Shahvee some time before and I went to Windhelm to marry her. Had the Mara amulet and everything. But it was late and the door to the argonian assemblage was locked. So I picked the lock and went inside. Everyone there started saying "You shouldn't be in here" (seems a lot of npcs are eager to kick you out of houses that don't even belong to them) and Shahvee even yelled GET OUT! Needless to say, Aela got to live with me instead.

You can pickpocket the Briarheart item out of the Forsworn Briarheart enemy, killing him in the process.
Fair enough he does have a gaping wound in his chest where the heart it.

However I'm behind him, so I can only conclude that in his last moments of life the Forsworn Briarheart feels like a very unloved ventriloquist's dummy.

An Imperial patrol with a prisoner, walking down the road, in Stromcloak territory, telling me, an Imperial soldier, wearing imperial armor, to back off citizen.

Beth, how damn hard would it be to have flags for things like 'belongs to legion' be recognized by mobs? Not hard at all I know and you have done it in some places.

"So you can cast a few spells. I am not impressed."

I am the freakin' Arch Mage, wearing the freakin' Arch Mage's robes, decked out in double-enchanted emerald jewelry, carrying a Daedric artifact. My companion is in full Ebon armor, doubly enchanted, and carrying a Daedric artifact. I just killed a dragon in the streets, using its own dragonspeech, and absorbed its soul, all without breaking a sweat or a fingernail.

I would hope a city gurardsman would be a little more adept at gauging the threat level of a potential enemy.

If there weren't immortal NPCs in this town, I'd show you exactly what 'little spells' I can cast, and would wipe the town clean, loot all the bodies, and ransack all the houses. Everybody except you, that is.

Lots of times when I walk into my house my housecarl says, "Are you lost?" One of these times I'm just going to shout him out of his seat at the table... :stare:

Edit: Never mind, there's a better thread for this.
