WTF Moments in Oblivion

I jumped up and hit a sign for a shop. It went around and around and around... And it never stopped. I watched it for five minutes before I got bored and left.

So I'm doing one of the fighter's Guild quests and I'm in Lleyawin. Don't want to give any spoilers, but I'm in the Blackwood Company hall, and just got attacked by one of the lizard guys in there. Just for the fun of it, I run out into the street cuz I know the lizard will follow me, and sure enough he does.

It just so happens he got some good hits on Dyan, her health was maybe at 40%, so it was a good time to run. Anyways, a couple Leyawiin guards decide to join in. After we take down the Argonian, one of the guards starts bashing the other. I have Dyan run up to them, and it turns out the guard is just bashing the crap out of Caecila Draconis, captain of the guard! And she's just standing there taking it! :clap:

The guard kills the Guard Captain! :lol: I'm stunned! Afterwards, he just walks away casually. "Evening ma'am". :confused:

yeah, funny how 'factions' react and change abruptly.

theres a DB chick who wont talk to u in the open, giving u a lecture on being discreet, etc... i tried to talk to her outside the Cheydinhal castle gate, while she was talking to one guard and got her lecture, which is irritating.... so... i enter sneak mode (I have gear that give me 90% chameleon), prepare an arrow at her.... HIT!

Now i am ready to relocate, but I hear "How DARE you challenge the might of the Empire?", and the guard is having at her. I mean, she just got victim of a cowardly attack... And he's alternating stuff like "HELP! There's a psychopath on the streets" and something that sounds "No need for violence" - I mean, the chick has absolutely *no chance* at all and he's letting these out, as if in dire danger.

I join in and land another sneak x3 multiplier with poison, etc... and the guard is slaying her and asking for help...

Fight ends, chick is dead, and the guard just asks me "How may I help you?" :bonk:

Oooh... I've got a good one. I use OOO and MMM, and I've been clearing out Alyeid Ruins for their goodies. While I was clearing out Culotte, I found there were absolutely no enemies in the ruin. There's WTF # 1.

I entered into one of the treasure rooms, with Vilja in tow. When I came back around the corner, the place was swarming with Undead Legionnaires and Zombie Soldiers. That fight was... tough. I ended up using both the Alyeid weapons in there, since I burned out the enchantment on one of them. When the grave dust cleared, they were all dead (again), and I had so little health that I couldn't see any red on my health bar.

Without a doubt, that was simultaneously the weirdest and most epic fight I've ever been in.

I haven't heard of this...just outside of Skingrad I had gone over to talk to the Bosmer that keeps the sheep (and teaches acrobatics or something similar). For whatever, these sheep started following me when I went back to the city gate. I didn't think anything of it. I went over and got on my horse and fast travelled to Anvil. To my great surprise, I ended up there with my horse and 5 sheep! The sheep scattered the moment we arrived, all going different directions. Some became food for predators immediately. Weird.

I had to reload another save and find a way to get them unconnected to me (going into the city didn't help...they waited till i got out). Seems they somehow got added to my "group".

Other things to. but it's late and I can't remember them all.

My absolute favourite was during the searching for the orry parts quest, sneaked up on the bandit camp, shot one of the bandits, the other bandits was searching for me but I was hidden and far away, so he assumed a nearby dear was the shooter (yes it logical) and started to chase it. Since he carried the orry part I had to catch him, if he died or did not return to camp I would lose the part, I chased him for minutes until he stopped to fight a fire elemental outside an oblivion gate and I managed to kill him

My second favourite was then I was caught stealing and went to the palace in a town to pay the fine. After paying the fine I had company, the three fighter guild member you gave weapons to is well know, but you also have the guards in a mine with orges you has to free. If the guards survive and see you they might start following you and catch up in the out of jail/ paid fine event and they will attack you. Now we get a battle between the mine guards and me with the city guards and the fighter guilds members as help.
Pretty weird, but owned by a guard who was hurt in the battle stops before one of the many bodies and said, “It has been a murder”. It has been a war would be more fitting.

Here's a good one from my game last night:

Amarel had stopped in the Imperial City for the night, and decided to pay a visit to her friends at the Order of the Virtuous Blood to turn in some vampire dust. She walked into the house they meet in...only to find herself face to face with http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Cylben_Dolovas. Naked as a jaybird.

He didn't seem to find anything the matter with this, since he greeted Amarel cheerfully, then paraded right past her and on up the stairs. Me, on the other hand...I almost wish I'd thought to get a picture, but once I got over the "surprise! Nudity!" shock, I was giggling too hard to do anything useful like that. :P

Very shortly after that the game crashed after I popped through a load door. I can only assume it was in a belated attempt at sanity preservation.

kill someone in stealth mode in their house. the body flys into the door and gets stuck into the door and starts violently spinning out of control. the dead guys wife opens the door and his body flys forward and bounces off the wall and knocks over all the food on the table below. his arm gets caught in the table and he starts spinning wildly. i grab his other arm and pull it streches and when i drop it it goes back to him which sends his body flying up but still attached to the table so that arm streches when he goes up. it looks like he exploded when he hit the ceiling, that is when i get a black screen and can only see the hud followed by a imperial voice saying "Stop right there criminal scum!!", I press go to jail and the game freezes.

Haha never had that happen, although Faelian's body is in a permanent seizure since I killed him, probably Skooma withdrawals.

Well if you are on Xbox, you just hold the left bumper when your cursor is over the body, then you can move the body around. If your on PC or PS3, I have no clue :shrug:

To grab on pc its hold the Z key down and move with the mouse, but it can be difficult depending on the object a body tends to get stuck in place apart from the limbs sometimes.

Bump, almost at 200 yay.
Was kinda weird yesterday when my summoned minions keep beating the crap out of Modryn Oreyn haha. They still killed the guy for the quest but it was just funny seeing him constantly being owned by animals.

Yesterday, I was riding my horse on the road between Kvatch and Skingrad and suddenly this huge flock of sheep just runs by me. I wait around and see if something is chasing them, but no. They just keep running and running and disappear. I continue on my merry way and come to Skingrad... just to see that the gate of the sheep pen outside the stables is full of creatures and the battle music is playing. There's a few Will-o'-the-Wisps, seven trolls and three wild boars running around in the pen, though not attacking each other. Or me, for that matter, because when I opened the gate they all ran off in this giant clump in the direction the sheep had gone.

... what?

Haha thats hilarious. I'm assuming this is modded on PC because I've never encountered that many monsters together at once when I've played on 360 haha.

I have some mods that tweak creature spawning points and spawning frequency, yeah, but usually they're still not all clumped together like that... :blink:

Maybe the farmer decided a new stock of farmyard animals was the way to go?

Raising trolls, though....ballsy.

Haha ya. In OOO I've had to fight like 10 Sylvan Rangers and Leaders at once it was insane. Basically I just kept summoning golems and running around scared to death. Now with some Conjuration creatures available at 50 and Jephre's animals I can summon on army of about 20 haha. I haven't touched the MQ except for delivering the amulet, gonna try and do the whole MQ and close all the gates at the highest difficulty eventually.

What happened was that the Will-o'-the-Wisps were lost and asked the trolls for info. As they started gesticulation and shouting the Wow mistook it as a sign of threat and beat it, while the trolls tried to catch for payment for the info; the boars seeing wild lights trembling, with angry trolls behind, got scared and beat it too.

Stopped by Chorrol Mages' Guild the other day. Conversation heard, walking up to the door:
- "I heard that Dar-Ma's gone missing."
- "Good to know."

Stopped by again after a couple days (had an errand in the Imperial City):
- "I heard that Dar-Ma's gone missing."
- "Hurray!"

My biggest WTF moments was
1. I was in "somewhere" when i met two bandits. One of the bandits was a bowman, i killed the melee one and i didn't find the other one. i thought "WTF? Where is he?" There was a giant boulder next to me, i looked at it, when an arrow flied into my face, i saw the bandit, i walked to the top of the boulder, the bandit was gone again! i didn't know it went into the boulder itself, until an imperial guard came and got of his horse, attacked the boulder, i thought "OMG WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?". Then i found an arrow coming out of the boulder, the boulder said "Die you scum!" Then i understood. After that i summoned a skeleton, and it went into the boulder, after that, i saw an head sticking out of the boulder. *Shivers* :cold:

2. I was in Motierres house, i took everything he owned, after that a guard came and attacked Mottierre, i went out, and traveled to skingrad. A sheep group was in the wineyard - one was dead and it was on my horse - i didn't know what to think. later a group of bears came, i was sitting on a horse, the sheep looked like a giant skirt. they attacked my horse, i had shadowmere. i was attacking the bears, they didn't even notice me. i traveled to chorrol again, and Motierress house was creepy, a guard was inside and Motierre was dead, actually i forgot to close a display case or something, motierres head was inside, and his body under the thing i forgot to close. *SHivers again* :cold:
