Skyrim Comedy - Unintentional Laughs

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 9:39 pm

I think we can concur that the gamebreaking and some of the non-gamebreaking bugs are of course irritating. But sometimes we get moments of comedy gold. Of course this is often an "had to be there" scenario. But what made you laugh out loud.

Asking for it

Fighting high up in a temple next to a cliff. Bandit screams "Any Last Words!"
"FUS-RO-DAH!"
Bandit flies off the edge and down the mountain. Yup.. as words go.. those are good ones (Poetic licence actually, it was Iiz Slen Nus (Ice Form).. but fusrodah works better).

Also;
"DO YOUR WORST!"
Famous Last Words of a Forsaken Looter before my decapitation animation kicked in. Glee.. sheer glee.

But who will save the dragons?

First random dragon, I charged into battle like the Dragonborn I am, its quick, nimble.. it won't land!.. I manage to land a couple arrows, and it flies off only to get spectacularly owned by a sabre toothed tiger and a bear.

Taking a flame breath to the face as I charged a wounded dragon to finish it off... countered with my own flame breath to kill it, and catching myself humming the musical number "Anything you can do.. I can do better... I can do anything better than you"

Crime and Punishment

Accidently trespassed in Markarth and a guard took his job overzealously. I submitted and he charged me 5 gold for the inconvenience.
"Sorry guv'nor, won't happen again.. warning signs wouldn't go amiss thou"
"Don't let it happen again".
As he turns and walks off, Vokstag my companion runs up and bloodies his face into bits with the mace of Molag Bal in front of another guard.. in my head I was screaming "Dude! Are you nuts.. its was 5 gold.. nothing"
I turn to watch to see if the guard was going to react.. but he turned slowly and walked away as if nothing had happened. I couldn't help but think the guard was thinking "If thats how the dude reacts to a 5 gold fine, I don't get paid enough to find out how he reacts to 1000... I saw nothing.. okay".

I expect this sort of thing has happened to most people, but I love reading stories, especially in character of moments in Skyrim which were pure comedy gold (if you were there.. ).
Whats yours?

Giants punting people. However, this same "glitch" can happen from the player's own attacks, and is actually much more fun. It happens a lot less than with giants, though.

I posted a while ago my funniest moment was after marrying Camilla from Riverwood Trader, I arrived back in Whiterun only to see Faendal leaving my Whiterun home! The little minx was cheating on me with her long time admirer....

passing thalmar patrol was giving me cheek while i was standing on the edge of a road (drinking tea irl) when a dragon landed out of nowhere and smacked him clean out of sight. i had to pause the game, partly because there was a dragon to fight but mostly because i was choking on my tea with laughter.

In some dungeon or other I realised two things:

1. There was a pressure pad linked to one of those sprung spikey doors just in front of me.
2. Beyond that, a Draugh (sp).

So I drew my bow and thought "if my first shot doesn't kill it, I will wait until it's by the spikey door then set the trap off". I shoot, and the draugh (sp) didn't die and came looking for me. I wait, and watch as it walks toward me... I try and judge, mustn't step forward too early or indeed too late... and When I judge it to be in maximum whacking position I step forward and the door springs around and whacks it as hard as possible. It flies right by my left ear and over a ledge. I laughed like a loon :D

I must have looked a real sight though, hunched over my keyboard and squirming away trying not to mess this event up... :D

Don't worry, I took Faendal with me on a exploration mission and he accidentally took an arrow in the back while I was trying to defend him from an angry Spriggan, purely accidental of course. Though it took me two shots to "accidentally" hit him ;-)

I forget who it was, but I had killed someone in Whiterun and one of the Battle-Borns was walking around the city. When he got to the body, he stopped to look at it and said "Poor bastard's better off" and just kept on moving. I don't know why, but for some reason I found it hysterical and couldn't stop laughing.

I had to use a console command to resurrect a guard that had been killed in order to continue with a quest. The first thing he says to me (..in his best Ahhr-nold voice)...

"I can't believe that worked. Something to tell the grandkids, eh?"

Funny stuff.....

I saw Viarmo sleeping in his bed at the Bard College and he had a lit torch in his hand clipping through the bed.

A farmer with a cow is walking towards a giant camp, I speak to him and he tells me this is how he will survive the giants by offering the cow. I then watch him get ripped to pieces by giants, and the cow. I then storm into the camp and kill them in an epic battle, out of sheer anger.

Turn around and the farmer is behind me alive, just standing there. I then kill him out of principle.

I mentioned this in another post but figured it applies here as well. I was wrecking a large bandit fort with ease. I walked towards the last guy standing while I let my stamina regen & bashed him in the grill. He staggered back & wet his shorts for the last time in his pathetic little life, I was certain of that. I sprinted towards him to land a power attack that would have either killed him outright or severely wounded him. There was no way he could have ever bested me. The "kill animation" kicked in and showed me running him through. I was thinking, "nighty night [censored]". At the same time though, I thought the animation appeared a little "off" since I was rocking an axe at the time. When the animation ended, I slumped to the ground, deader than dirt. Turns out the bandit ran me though with his sword. I guess NPC's can land criticals too. I was at full health at the time. Laughed hard at that one. It's the little, unexpected events that make this game so fun.

I also had a guard say something along the lines of, "I see you prefer a one handed-sword like me." As I ran past him, I saw he was carrying a two-handed sword on his back. What a moron.

I've had guards compliment my two-handed and archery skills.


Both are in the 30s.
I have 100 One-Handed and was wielding a one-handed weapon.

Guards aren't the brightest of fellows.

I posted this the other night but it made me LOL, so I'm posting it again.

I caught a wolf and two mudcrabs taking on a frost dragon. It was great.

I had just started my current character and when I got to Riverwood I hastily sold all the loot I had picked up during the tutorial including everything I was wearing at the time. A passer by says "Either you're nekid, I'm drunk, or maybe both" I laughed pretty hard as it caught me totally off guard.

At the very beginning of the game when you have to sneak past bear, if you chose to kill him the dude who leads you out says something like: "Sneaking is overrated, huh?" I had to reload just hear him say it again, just for the laughs.

At that moment I knew I'd love the game.

Skyrim Guard: 'No lolly-gagging'

Orc Guy in Mine: 'I was put in prison for murder, assualt, theft and... lolly-gagging'

That line cracked me up.

My second dragon battle involved me and a few bandits firing feverishly into it's hide... an epic battle which took me about 5 tries before finally bringing the beast down... only to turn around and "FWHIP!!" one-shot arrow kill in the head... apparently the bandits didn't feel the same sense of camaraderie I did after slaying a dragon together.

Well, I had just left Whiterun when I came across a dragon and a giant fighting. I started helping the giant, sniping at the dragon with some arrows. The Dragon was losing terribly, the giant probably could have won without me, but he decided to fly off. While he was flying away, the giant turned on me and smacked me. I flew higher than Whiterun, and the Dragon flew right by my spacebound body. I lol'd.
