Fighting some bandits and the fugitive comes out of nowhere to talk me into hiding something and died while trying to exit. :facepalm:

Great thread.

I was fighting a dragon at an early level and he was pretty tough. I kept at it and finally got him! All of a sudden, I was flying in the air and spinning like a top and died. I had never seen the Giant got you animation before so it was hilarious. It kept happening so I finally kept running around the dragon to absorb the soul and then ran down the road. I think my dragon bones are still in that dragon.

:tes:

While I have no stories myself my niece had a hilarious death she told me about.

While out exploring she happened upon a cave filled with trolls. She was doing well, dispatching trolls with relative ease with her massive war-hammer however she eventually ran out of health potions but thankfully only had one troll left.

She quickly slaughtered the beast however her health was dangerously low. Just as she was putting away her weapon a mudcrab popped out of nowhere and attacked! She was so startled she stumbled backwards, pulling out her weapon BUT falling into a pool of water sheathing her weapon!! Before she could react and get out of the water, plus pull out her weapon, the Mudcrab was already making a lunch of her

My niece, the killer of trolls who dies to mudcrabs!

-edit- autocorrect fails

Saw an ancient dragon attacking a giant, so I charged in to help him out, finished it off with a sliver of health to spare, then I thought me and the giant were gonna walk our separate ways, nope, he sent me on a one way trip to space.

POSSIBLY SOME MINOR SPOILERS




Doing one of the Companions quests, I'm sneaking in a cave as I come across a brightly lighted room full of Silver Hands. I thought it would be a good idea to turn myself invisible with Nightingale powers and sneak throught it unseen. I activate the power and now thinking I'm invisible I try to sneak across the room. What I didn't realise was the power doesn't activate when you are already sneaking. Suddenly I hear someone shouting "What was that?" and battle-music starts to play. Thinking I could easily beat them as a werewolf I activate my beastform but didn't think it would actually take that long to turn to werewolf. Needless to say I got chopped to pieces.




SAFE AGAIN

I was running around in Markarth doing some quests and taking...umm.. "shortcuts"... When I suddenly took a wrong turn and fell to my death D:

Just killed a dragon in an awesome battle (next to a giants camp) and before I could absorb its soul a giant smacked me from behind.

Seriously, and no I don't have video's or pictures.
Fighting an ancient dragon.. Around 20% health, and the dragon at prob. 15% about to pop a healing potion while my (met at a high level) mage companion suddenly fires an area effect spell... Grrrr It doesn't kill me but sends me over the edge over the cliff.
So it wasn't the spell but the drop... which killed me..
(I terminated her in the literal sense.. even though I RP'd as a goody two shoes)

I was running inside a house, while i was running i think i hit a Basket... it KILLED ME.

Crushed by a flying mammoth... and then I got stuck on a glitched dragons back when he went vertically I went down to my death... Last but not least I killed a Flame Atronach with no health left not expecting it to explode on me...

Arvel killed me. Don't ask.

More unfortunate than stupid, but...

I was fighting a dragon and things were going okay. A Wolf stuck his snout in our business as the dragon took off to fly around. I killed the Wolf and suddenly went rag dolling across the ground at about 50mph...

Our fight took us a little too close to a Giant camp. That I never saw. Even when the Giant Mark McGuire'd me from behind. With one hit.

:swear: :banghead: :facepalm:

After killing a dragon I wanted to be a cool guy and stand on his corpse like the trailer. I guess my guy farted on the burning corpse or something because he decided he was a rocketship and went flying 5 trillion feet in the air.

I was walking down a staircase and got ambushed by three skeevers. Early in the game to be sure...

I had just completed a quest in the solitude palace and decided to keep going in the area to see what was there. There was a hanging object I think was a pot. Well I walked into it and took damage. I was shocked. So I backed up into it to avoid what was killing me and it went crazy. My health bar went down and I watched as my body, dead, hung from the pot with no feet on the ground.

I raised a Draugr and we were walking to the next area in a Nordic dungeon. I almost stepped onto a pressure plate for one of those swinging wall of spikes. As I stepped around it I was like "phew that was close!"

My Draugr was not so intelligent - we both ragdoll'd about 30 feet back.

Ha I had that same thing happen to me, only I survived by hiding under a nearby bridge. I figured seeing as we just killed a dragon together we could be bros.

The giant had other plans it seems.

love this one, and its almost happen to me before

Uthgerd triggered the spiked swinging door while I was dueling 2 draugrs. [censored]...

This. I bumped into a push cart, which suddenly developed enough mass/velocity to instakill me with force.

Physics is for milk drinkers. In Skyrim, inanimate objects kill you with ease. D:

One shotted by bows despite nothing else being able to hurt me that bad.

got out of nowhere one-shotted by a dwemer trap like ten feet away from a checkpoint

*Immediately* after finishing the MQ, I was all jazzed up. I jumped down a steep slope, thinking I'd be ok, and I died.

While fighting a mammoth, I was ambushed by a Sabre Tooth, which promptly made my pants brown with excrement. In addition to that, a Giant caught up to me for harassing his creature, and slammed me into space along with the Sabre Tooth.

I pressed the wrong key and accidentally let off a shout of unrelenting force while talking to someone in Whiterun...
