The most stupid way you've been killed? : V - Skyrim

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 2:58 pm

There was a certain quest for a certain deity where I was launched miles over the meeting place to speak with them, as the quest is supposed to do. Then it stopped working mid conversation and I plummeted for about 30 seconds and splattered on a mountain side.

I know what quest you're talking about and I didn't die but it scared the bejesus outta me when it happened

Entering the last stage of vampirism after fast traveling and my chars wife killing my char.

I was close enough to Lydia when I activated Flame Cloak and she instantly ripped me apart.

The same thing happened to me with Jenassa but I killed her.

I once killed myself with a cast iron pot and a telekneisis spell trying to kill people.

My horse fell into a pit trap with spiked wood, while I was fighting some bandits near a hideout.

The horse was alive so I went down into the hideout, cleared it and got to the horse. The moment I hopped to ride it moved sideways and I insta-died by touching the spikes.

I was at the inn in Whiterun and this guy (forgot his name) wants to challenge me to a drinking contest...

(POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD)

So I figured it wasn't in my character's nature to participate in a drinking contest so I declined, but it remained in my quest log. I get annoyed when I can't delete the quest and he keeps pestering me. Finally, since I'm Thane and all, I figure I'll just whack the guy so he stops bugging me. I quicksave first, then crouch in a corner of the inn with my bow and shoot him in the head.

Then all Hell breaks loose. He immediately turns into some sort of demonic sorcerer and conjures up some Hellion beast and the entire inn erupts in chaos. Before I can do anything else, I'm dead and so is everyone else in the building, lol.

I have no idea who. or WHAT, this guy is, but I don't think I want to share drinks with him...

I think I know who you are talking about but there's also a guy like that in Riften. You should complete the quest though 'cause you get a kick-ass weapon in the end

2 ignoble deaths. First one, actually even before I had left Helgen, I jumped onto one ot the little push carts, it glitched out and killed me.

2nd time, Lydia came running from behind, shoved me off a cliff.

fighting guards and... I took an arrow to the knee, it made me LOL

Some insane bandit sniper hiding in bushes or something. 1 arrow and I was dead.

Really low on health after a HUGE fight, I run into a hanging pot (in a kitchen area) and die. Took me about a minute to work out WTF just happened as stared disbelievingly at my screen. Had to do it all again as I hadn't saved.

Not exactly stupid; more awesome. Got wtfpwned by a Draugr Deathlord.

I was facing a Draugr Deathlord -- did you know they can use more than one shout? I had only noticed them using a single shout -- who had previosuly disarmed me. He was vicious at range (ebony bow, ebony arrows, me without any block perks) but easy close up, so I closed with him. Then he Fus Roh Dah's me backward ... into a pit where I fell to my death. The Deathlord at the bottom of the pit walked over, looked at me, shrugged and wandered off. (I know he was a Deathlord because after I reloaded I went ethereal, dropped down, and paid him a courtesy call.)

AI-wise, I am fairly sure he was shouting to get me away from melee range so he could turn me into a collander, but it was still cool.

On my Dark Elf...

Removed my clothes to play ninja around a bandit camp at night time, something that ended with me running butt naked off a cliff while playing hit-and-run with some bandits.

Quite a tale for Sovngard, that...

Gave a staff of chain lightning to Aranea. She is not nearly as careful as I am. After a reload I had to take it back.

Later, as we leveled up, she apparently learned the chain lighting spell. I had to stop taking her with me! Yikes.

By far my stupidest death yet:

A dragon attacked Morthal. It was my first Elder Dragon fight. It beat me and the guards up bad, but eventually after like 10 minutes real time, I killed it. I was at next to no health and magicka, but I was victorious!

Well, just as I was about to loot its bones and scales, a mudcrab comes up behind me and pinches me. Me=dead.

I was SOOOO angry! >:o

Transformed into werewolf to scare the Silver Hand leader before killing him. The bastard instakilled me with a finishing move. Didn't even manage to take a swing at him.

Mind, i'm a lvl 54 warrior with 600 hp and 780 armor. I'm kind of used to being 'immortal', so this came as an unpleasant surprise.

I was walking down a dungeon and those Petty Soul Gem traps that like have streams of fire or ice, well in this case ice. Instantly killed me. I was like WTF because even other mages who use ice on me don't kill me instantly. I also had full health too. To make injuries worse is the fact that it was a Petty Soul Gem.

Went to jump off a cliff using the become ethereal but had whirlwind sprint selected......the rest is self explanitory.

Similar, I simply forgot you can't activate it in mid-air... *sigh*

one time I had to go kill a sabre cat in someone's house. I remembered that quest in Oblivion where there were mountain lions in a basemant and thought this would be similar. Nope. Hungry Kitty was just inside the front door. Scared the wilies out of me. Mage lvl 50 and didn't think casting Ebonyflesh or Dragonhide was needed until I was inside the house. Oops. Reload.

Sneaking through a dungeon, avoid a pressure plate trap just after I round a corner. See a draugr deathlord, turn around, avoid the pressure plate. I turn to face him with my sword, just as he and three more deathlords arrive, to hit the plate. It triggers a swinging spike gate of death, which hits me and three deathlords. In the mess, the door gets triggered four times in quick sucession, the damned gate slamming deathlords back into the plate, triggering it again, and again, and again.

They all died, I started gathering stuff, I accidentally held the "activate" button too long, and instead of searching the last body, I grabbed it. As I swung my camera about, the body hit another body, which hit the plate, which killed me.

That gate was cursed...

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!

We have a winner :rofl:

Homicidal wagon.

Facing a Dragon at lower levels that just won't land, I had no choice but to run since I had a melee character.

I'm running through trees, sliding down cliff faces, jumped and swam into the river until I reached underneath a bridge, using every healing potion that was available to me. As luck would have it, a bandit diverts his attention, and gives me the chance to use Restoration on my critically injured self. Just as I was casting the healing force that was going to bring me back into this heroic battle... I fall. Alas, in the end I was bested by... a mudcrab.

It was almost epic...

Full health. Arrow to the knee. Seriously.

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 10:03 am

Also I had just killed a dragon and just and I turned around a giant killed me. In the Mage's College mission on the ruins
