Fighting a swarm of slaughter fish with my first morrowind mage, and not figuring out how to pul my hands out :facepalm:

I was killed by a Kwama Forager at the beginning of Morrowind.

You kidding me?

Half life 2's physics released 2 YEARS before oblivion are 150% better.

Playfully trying to invent new ways to push the Adoring Fan off of Dive Rock.. I had an epic miss which had me plunge to my death whilst the Adoring Fan happily watched me fall, ready to re-spawn in the afterlife to once again piss me of to no end.

I tripped over a log.

Morrowind: As a nub player, I got confused between the Feather and Slowfall effects. This had disasterous consequences when an already-wounded character tried to take a 'shortcut' out of Vivec by casting 'Feather' and then jumping off the top of the Foreign Quarter canton and onto the bridge.

Level 35 just finished killing some rich 'bandits' with very little health left a mudcrap ninjas me in the back and kills me. :ninja:

Morrowind: Death by scrib.
Oblivion: Death by horseriding. I was too lazy to get off my horse to kill some pesky wolves in the mountains...I accidentally rode my horse of a near sheer cliff face, resulting in us both dying. Oops.

getting executed... for stealing a spoon... from a shack

DaggerFall: When I started out, I got my ass handed to me by a rat. I couldn't look down - I didn't know how!

Morrowind: I was bunny hopping inside of aldruhn, and I was hopping on the ropes that are attached to the pathways, my character glitched and floated...and when he landed he instantly died.

Oblivion: You remember the part in the Kvatch Oblivion gate where you have to run across that narrow bridge to get to the tower where Menien Goneld is caged up...? I fell off that and died.

I can do you one better. A Xivili weilding a great axe that I didn't even know was arround came up from behind me and sent me flying... straight into that firery energy plasma beacon thing. Game over, man! Game over!

Maybe Nirn simply has less gravity than Earth. I mean, look at how much weight you can carry in the game.

In Bloodmoon, I got knocked unconcious be a Beserkar and drowned in a puddle.

I was arounf level 35.

normally things where i havent paused the game and come back ive died.

one example was that i needed to go to the loo whilst doing the arena, and forgot to pause, so id just left my lvl 9 knight dude standing as the arena gates opened, my char was mauled to death by three argonian prisoners

another one is being swarmed by three rats in a cave, on maximum difficulty and i didnt have a torch so i couldnt see.

Cliffracers... imagine being killed by a flying chicken.
Slaughterfish too. I know gamewise they're not really humiliating, but the entire idea...

Well ... its possible I might have died from a mudcrap too, but then I dont remember. Takes a while to learn the controls, and to learn whats important.

I definitely remember trying out a Highelf and going for the wizard in the cave. I had tried out a Darkelf before and it was super easy - so I was stunned how fast I died on the Highelf.

Then I realized its 75% resistance to fire on a Morrowind Darkelf vs 25% weakness to fire on a Morrowind Highelf. So the fireballs did no less than 5 times the damage it did before. No wonder I had no chance.

It took me a long time more testing until I settled for a female Breton with birthsign Atronarch, and thats pretty much all I've played ever since. The choice was mostly because the female Bretons had one really beautiful face.

Also the reason I never used any model upgrades for Morrowind. While they improved the game, they made Bretons look more detailed, but also much more ugly. At that point I had grown pretty attached to Bretons and didnt wanted to play anything else.

I got owned by a slaughterfish, desperately tried to swim away and drowned
