Lets face it. When your a beginner you die in ridiculous ways. The first day I started Morrowind a mudcrab killed me, and when I started playing Oblivion I drowned as soon as I left the sewers looking for pearls. whats the most humilliating way you've died?

Most of the time I die it's because of either oblivions LAME physics engine or me just not paying attention.

Sadly I don't have a very good memory of my deaths but I do know that it was humiliating for me whenever I die and my characters face ends up contacting another dead characters crotch, or worse a dead animals crotch. Ugh... What worse way is there to die than inspecting a dead minotaurs privates?

Any death involving falling off cliffs. I just hate that.

A death involving a scrib.

My first time playing Morrowind, I was killed by a Kwama forager. The only weapon skill I gave myself was longsword, and I was wondering why my rusty dagger wasn't doing anything... hurm..

when i first saw the box for oblivion all i saw was

"OBLIVION"

and the daedric O.

i didnt see "the elder scrolls" or anything like that so i figured it was another one of my brother's shooting games.

when my brother showed me the game, i was like OMG THIS IS TEH PWNAGE

i made my character, and, not knowing the controls, met a pair of friendly rats.

the next time, i made it past the rats (barely) and figured out how to heal myself right before i met the zombie, of which my shortsword had no effect, and, i was turned into bonemeal

then, i went into oblivion, and was murdered by scamps.

upset, i realoaded, attacked an argonian (then i didnt think argonians were cool; now they are and to me theyre sacred) who took literally 20-40 shots to the head (it didnt die), then i got bored and turned off the game

I don't mind falling off cliffs and dying. I mind falling off a 80-centimetre high hill and dying.

Once I was creating some scrolls to improve my acrobatics. They were very powerful. I decided to make myself look as ludicrous as possible before I tested the scrolls out, so I dressed up in a robe made out of an old pair of curtains and bright yellow phallic fir trimmed helm. I read out the incantation and jumped. I went high, too high really. I tried to land over water, but I crashed to earth in the bitter coast just north of Seyda Neen. It was a real mess and to add insult to injury some bitter green outlander started poking around my remains. How embarrassing.

I was killed too by a mudcrap, you know that one just out side Seyda Neen? Yeah, that bastard. Well I was a noob and I actually tried to lockpick the mudcrap because I thought my lockpick was a weapon... I was wondering why this strange looking weapon didn't do any damage at all.

Another one would probably be me running backwards while fighting of some creature, only to step off a cliffside and fall to death.

Win.

I think I was knocked out, while underwater and ended up drowning in MW. Or the numerous times I fell down things. Or the one time I accidentally fell from the inner heart chamber.

Not really humiliating, but definitely humbling was my first death in MW. Walking into Addamasartus and killing the first bandit easily, then bumping into the mage. Tried to run...unsuccesfully.

As for Oblivion
Setting off a log trap and letting them all fall so I could walk through the area fine. I run over a fallen log and somehow it kills me.

After a week of playing Oblivion, i got used to it, and saw that the difficulty was on -100. So i thought it was too easy, created a new character, set the difficulty on max, didn't gather any gear nor potions or speals and went out to the wilderness. The next part involves attacking a troll, running as hell, jumping off a waterfall, and landing into the river, right on to a rock which was impossible to land on. I think the next thing i did, was deleting my character... And buying Morrowind.

I was sneaking through an abandoned fort in Oblivion and stumbled upon a skeleton which (GO HAVOK ENGINE!!!) jolted toward me at mach1 and killed me. Not embarassing as much as shocked that something like that could happen.

^this is how I die most often.

Oh and hellmouth, nice. That's classic. :goodjob:

I turned a corner and meet a Daedroth for the first time. I started to run away at 5 health and ended up having a trap kill me.....yaaaaay........

My one freshly started Oblivion character (while I was still learning the game) was down quite a few hitpoints after tangling with a Wolf just outside the IC main gate area. Suddenly, the character started getting hit again, so I tried spinning around to find out where the attacks were coming from. By the time I figured out that there was a rat hidden in the tall grass right in front of me, the little nuisance had chewed away the last hitpoint. Killed by an ordinary Rat, in plain view of the laughing guards........

That Mage in Addamasartus cave took out a couple of my first MW characters practically fresh off the boat, so clearing the cave became a "rite of passage" for all my later characters to see if they were "viable" in a fight.

I've done that. From full health. Blasted paralysis.

My most humiliating deaths almost all involve Daggerfall though. I have these really vivid memories of playing it for the first time, gosh, thirteen years ago now? And it's so vivid because I kept clicking "okay" to the tutorial box in the first dungeon, warning me that there was going to be a monster in the next room. And I thought I had the controls down, so I was ready. Went in, couldn't see where the thing that was hitting me was, flailed madly with my weapon, died. About ten times in a row. Finally, I got far enough from what was hitting me to realise that it was... a rat. All that time. And that I couldn't hit it before because I couldn't figure out how to look down and actually aim at the bugger. Easily resolved problem, really, but took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out. I still have an irrational fear of TES rats because of it, too.
And then I got to Daggerfall city, and was immediately killed by things I couldn't see. Resolved this problem by madly fearing walking around any town in that game at night, including racing the sunset to get into inns before nightfall. Took me... probably a few years to realise it was only an issue in that particular city, and it took me longer than that to realise I could actually see and kill the ghost responsible if I paid enough attention.
And of course there was the drowning shortly after winning an epic underwater battle, because I overestimated my breath meter. Did that more often than I want to admit, actually.
...I think most of my humiliating moments are in DF because I got used to being unexpectedly pwned, and tend to be paranoid and over-cautious in every game as a consequence. (I think I was level 35, with a Redguard of the Lady birthsign, before I thought it was safe to fight Dagoth Ur for the first time. It was... a little too anti-climactic. But I was worried.)

I know what that's like, it's humiliating.

I've been killed by the following things:

Ash slave
Nels Llendo (although it was partly my fault, as I was just starting out and had trouble drawing my sword)
Centurion Spider (for some reason they don't use their Poisonbloom unless you reload after fighting them)
Generic vampire
Kagouti (I don't even think it was blighted)
Dwemer Satchel

I've been killed by much more, but none as sad as these.

New character at Seyda Neen->visit the Lighthouse-> fall of the Lighthouse-> new character.

First Time I playd, I got in a fight with my horse (you know, you swing your weapon the air for fun and accidently hit a human/creature.

It killed me within secons.....

What do you mean? How does this GREAT physics engine kill you?

First time I played Morrowind, the game didn't come with a map, needless to say i went from Balmora and past the Dwemer ruin beside the nearby fort and.......I got lost in Molag Amur, I wondered around for over a hour getting hounded by cliffracers that gave my redguard guy endless deseases, I finally bit the kumara in sight of Marandus.

Yuck!! :yuck: I hate cliffracers. I never want to see them again!
