it's the nine punishing you

after all, you only use the voice to give praise to the gods and slay the dragons
what you did was an act of vanity for the prowess of man

That was exactly what i did once... i was like 'woops!'

After offering to guide a pilgrim from Whiterun to a place on the eastern side of the map I decided to partake in a drinking contest with a fellow in the inn at Whiterun. Next thing I know we're all transported to a huge city on the far western side of the map that I didn't want to see until I ventured there myself.

After hitching a wagon ride back to Whiterun and nearly making it to the pilgrim's destination, I attract the attention of a dragon. I do a pretty good job of protecting the poor pilgrim until the dragon attracts the attention of a nearby giant camp. Needless to say, that was the end of the poor pilgrim.

One of my characters was a simple fisherman. Chasing dinner, he went way too deep for far too long.
Bloop..bloop..bloo...

I miss my breath meter. :blush:

I did the same thing in the first town, don't remember the name, the town right after the tutorial. Brunt a chicken to a crisp, laughed, and turned around just in time to see a huge Nord hit me in the face with a very large axe.

Me to! The next best one was backing into the Giant the Dragon was strafing and getting thumped as soon as I killed the Dragon

Lydia getting knocked down by a (rock) avalanche on top of mountain while we were inspecting these group of dead refugees covered partly by Snow. Happened on the same peak where Azura's Shrine is located but more to the west. That was pretty epic as the mountain was kind of roaring. First I thought it was a dragon, Lydia even got knocked down but was able to revive herself.

The last happened a few minutes ago when Lydia got killed by this boss protecting a word wall. She is laying there now on top of that mountain against that word wall. As it took me 20 minutes to kill the boss (with lots of kiting and healing) I decided to not reload and have her rest there, seems like a fitting place to die. RIP Lydia... I am level 15 still playing at adept level, I was considering right before to up the difificulty to expert, that definitely changed my mind.

oh god...

1st fail moment:

20 min into the game "oh look, giants... I bet they have some sweet loot!"

2nd fail moment
Ok... it was late, like in the middle of the night... 1:30am~ish... I'm alone in the dark playing with pretty high volume and I'm exploring some catacombs and suddenly a ghostly voice.... "LEEEAVE THIS PLAAAACE".

Scared the sh*t out of me, knocked down my glass filled with Coca-cola and allmost fell of my chair :twirl:

Might have knocked my companion of a mountain or two aswell with my voice mistaking her for an enemy

After Lydia and I were getting rolled by two frost trolls we were backed up against a cliff edge. No where to run. No magika to heal. No potions. No scrolls. Its the end of the road.

So I look down and see the river. I turn to Lydia. "We could just jump!"
Lydia looks down, then looks a me. "Like hell we could!"
I say "Why not? We can make it! I'll jump first!"
Lydia says "No."
I say "OK then you jump first."
Lydia yells "No!"
I look at Lydia. "What's the matter with you?"
Lydia looks at me with terror on her face "I can't swim!"
I start laughing. "Are you crazy? The fall will probably kill you!"
Then I position myself in front of Lydia. "OK hold still!"
Lydia glares at me "Don't you dare!"
"Sis boom ba!" and I shout punt her off the cliff.
Then I look back at the Trolls and say "Later losers!" and take a running leap...
"oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttttttt!"

Then I realize that Skyrim physics are not quite so accurate and the arc that I thought would carry me safely out over the river suddenly stalled and I impacted on the shore, 2 feet from the river.

SPLAT! Good job Butch!

Not one of my better moments!

If only you'd used the Word of Power--"Pi?ata!", you would have been fine. *shakes head sadly*

Finding out that Khajiit's only look like cats when mine failed to land on its feet..... :whistling:

Fighting my first blood dragon with my mage, I knocked it down to barely any health with my magic. Then I got the bright idea of trying to finish it off with a conjured battleaxe, just for kicks. Ran at it, swinging...and before I even reached him he took me in his mouth and threw me off the cliff. Note to self...never send in the squishy mage into melee with a dragon...*facepalm*

i went to say hi to a giant while they where at there camp...i quickly found out they like there privacy

I've not had any epic fail moments yet.

But i'm sure all of us have done this in their first few levels, the first time they saw a mammoth or giant in the wild:
*quick save*
*equips bow*

hmmm lets see if I can take this one with alittle running around.

*crouches at a distance and lets off an arrow*

Notices the health barely moved and it's steam rolling towards me.


Oh crap!

*Bam one hit death*

I have a good laugh at myself as it auto-loads before my moment of stupidity. Lets go around those next time.

Title should be called Skyrim fail moments.

One of many quest bugs I have run into.

Companions quest to kill a sabre cat (keeping this vague for spoiler reasons) after I kill it the entire town wants to kill me. Restart, let guards kill the sabre cat, after killing 2 guards and the house owner. The towns people don't kill me.
