What's Your Craziest Random Battle?

Post » Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:36 am

I was just doing word wall searching and I fast traveled near Riften. On my way to the wall I got attacked by 3 Frostbite Spiders, 2 Wolves, 2 Ice Trolls and a Hagraven all at the same time. I was certainly not expecting that at all. Has anyone else encountered crazyness like this?

Anyone?


Was engaged in a easy fight with a dragon, couldn't understand why it went down so fast, figured it out when it died, when 2 bears, a saber cat and a wolf pack turned their attention to me all of the sudden.

I would have to say when I walked outside of Solitude and saw a dragon dumb enough to attack head on. The guards shot arrows at him for a while and took him to about half health. The dragon decided to land to attack on the ground but the idiotic dragon decided that the two horses from the stable were the REAL threat and went after them instead of those who were launching fireballs (me) and arrows at his scaley hide. I then watched as two horses pwnd him.

This was interesting.My character is a mage and imperial soldier, and a group of stormcloaks came walking my way.When they reached me, they pulled out their weapons and prepared to attack, warning me to stay away.Just as they were about to attack a unit of Thalmor soldiers came out of nowhere, tore them all to pieces, and then walked away.The interesting part about that is that my mage is also a high elf.

I remember a fight, early on in the game. 4 thugs (sent to kill me), and I could barely even dent their health bars. I just decided to run - never seen them again after all these levels.

Battle royale death match between DB assassin, hired thugs, mercs, 2 frost dragons, random wild life and of course myself. Oh the joys of being hated by everyone in Skyrim....

They kept coming after me. No matter where I went they would find me and they were impossible to kill at a low level. I was getting infuriated to the point that I almost deleted the character just to get away from these [censored]s.

Buying a Fury spell and sitting back watching them destroy each other put a big smile on my face.

My story pales in comparison but one time I was hunting animals to fill soul gems when I came across 4 bandit thugs. I hadn't realized that I got close to their camp. They caught me by suprise and beat me a little while I was changing my soul trap bow for a more appropriate weapon. There was very little to hide behind or rocks to jump on.......I had lost over half my health and threw a few spells at them...most missed....

.....

Then out of nowhere a horse came galloping up and started to attack the bandit thugs. I killed one thug with a sword while the horse killed the other 3 bandit thugs.

very wierd.

My other crazy battle was with a dragon. I was losing and had a hill cliff I was moving toward for cover. I'm almost got there....then that idiot thief stops me and tells me to hide some crappy object...I get flamed by the dragon and am down to about 15% health before I end the conversation.....

....just a few feet away....almost to safety....

...the idiot whom the stolen crap belongs to stops me.....boom more flame....I died. Who the hell tries to hide stolen stuff on a guy getting BBQ'ed by a dragon?

Get a blender, add 2 mammoths, 3 giants, a blood dragon and Parthuunax.

That's my craziest random fight in this game.

Kay so I get a bounty to kill a dragon... *goes to bounty lalala* when i get there all i hear is it screaming for like 2 minutes, then i message pops up saying that i should go collect my bounty.. never saw the dragon once, so i decided to look for it and when i eventually found it, 3 snow bears decide to pounce on me... i happened to be on a mountain top(kinda) at the time and i used unrelenting force and all 3 of them flew off and died... pretty intense.

Got attacked by 2 elder dragons while fighting roughly 8-10 bandits and a couple hagravens for the main quest (the bit before you enter Skyhaven Temple).

Fun fun.

Was wandering somewhere distant and came across a spriggan, so we gets to fighting then a spider and two bears decide to join in. I died so i reloaded a quicksave from about a minute earlier. The next time instead of those enemies there were 2 vampires going up against 2 of those guys who hunt werewolves (cant remember the name) I sat in the bushes while they had a battle royale and then cleaned up the survivors.

I haven't really had any crazy random battles, but today I had my first dragon-town attack at Farkreath(sp?). I was visiting the smith down there to sell some enchanted weapons and there was a thunderstorm, which I found unusual. Then, all of a sudden, "RAWWWR!", and a blood dragon swooped into my view. Pretty cool, but it when down fast with the entire town attacking it. Night fell afterwards and the townsfolk surrounded the bones with torches and made comments about me being a dragonborn.

I was at this farm where this gal was growing Nirnroot, as I was in dialogue with her I noticed a sound of something crashing down, then I heard a dragon scream.
What I thought of was not "Oh crap a dragon!" but instead "Oh crap, please don't exit dialogue and fight it!"

Sure enough she hauled ass over to that dragon and joined the fray, as I didn't want anyone to get killed I hurried over there.
It was a puny standard "dragon" and it's health went down nicely, and just as I thought "Ah, no named NPC's will get killed after all" a second dragon landed, a Frost Dragon, far more dangerous.

After the battle I ventured back to the farm and noticed that the guards and the Nirnroot farmers daughter had gone missing.
So I went out and tried to find them and got jumped by a Thief, which might not sound random but this was the first time I've "ever" encountered a thief in the wild.

So after beating some sense into him and letting him limp away I used detect life and noticed someone over by the lake, and there were two treasure hunters that attackedme because of their treasure of 61 gold coins.

So, first time I fought 2 dragons at once.
First time I got a Thief on me.
And first time I found treasure hunters.

Pretty random 6 minutes.

Traveling to a quest destination, I did a slight detour to fight a dragon. Unfortunately the dragon was already fighting a giant. The dragon did a strafing run on the giant, and headed towards my character. Its like, okay, I can handle this, when lightning hits her from behind. Conjuror from the quest decided to attack. Then the giant, who had been following the dragon showed up. Instead of going for the dragon, the giant attacks my character. So there is my pc, with a giant, a dragon, and a spellcaster after her. I might have been able to deal with the dragon and the conjuror, but not the giant too. After I died and reloaded, only the dragon was there. I took care of it, and headed on to my quest destination.
