Whiterun Guards, get your priorities straight

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 1:02 am

So I am on my way back to whiterun, to finish the totem of hircine quest when a dragon decides to attack fairly close to town. It swoops, breathes fire and gets the attention of some guards obviously. So we are all doing our best to fell the beast, and in the chaos I accidentally hit a guard. So what does he do? Turns away from the dragon, and tries to arrest me! It was pretty amusing seeing the dragon still tearing things up mere feet behind the guard while I am looking over the dialog options. I know this is a massive complex game, and Im fine if they dont change anything regarding this, but I was a bit surprised the guard thought that arresting me was more important than the 20 ton fire breathing creature in front of us. This is not a whine/please fix post, just another skyrim story that I wanted to share, as I like hearing stories from other people about thier wild and crazy adventures in the massive world of skyrim.

The guards are pretty dumb when it comes to fights with dragons. If you use dragons shouts DURING a dragon attack on a city, there is a ~30% chance after the battle is finished a guard will ask you not to shout anymore as it's making people nervous... Apparently shouting is worse then the huge FIRE/ICE BREATHING DRAGON!

hehehe, yeah I got arrested outside of Riften as I jumped off the dragon's head after doing the killing blow. He's all shoutin' at me while I absorb the soul and I hear another guard behind me in hushed awe commenting how I absorbed the Dragon's soul. I was just like 'dude why don't you tell your friend here to leave me alone then 'cause I am friggin' awesome right now!'

I couldn't find the dragon right away when I went back cause it was wedged into the Stables...it had been killed several yards away not sure how it got in the Stables. The skeleton was shaking pretty bad and the horses were freakin' out.

See guards, see what happens when you arrest the Dragonborn for setting your hair on fire by accident?!
