Your WTF Moments in Skyrim #16

Post » Sun May 18, 2014 2:17 pm

The vampire coffins work as beds so if the follower was sleeping he could just as well use an coffin as a bedroll.

One famous feature in Oblivion was that npc might lay down and sleep in a bed occupied with a dead body, this was pretty common if you sneaked a lot and did not kill everybody systematically.

Guess the necrophilia dialogue was created because of this feature.

Maybe it's a hidden secret? Has anyone ever checked the game files to see if he is actually a werewolf?

Opening the CK right now... Though I think it's probably just a bug in the mod.

Edit: Hmpf. Apparently some bug or something in the CK prevents me from opening Dawnguard and take a look. :meh:

Oh, I think you need to add Dawnguard.esm to your SkyrimEditor.ini.
The same applies to any other DLC you may have.
More info here.

And if you're having an issue with loading multiple master files, the answer is in one the comments in the link.

Thank you, that solved the problem. Didn't give me any information about Durak, though - nothing I could find in his data suggests that he's a werewolf, but OTOH I looked on a known werewolf as well - Aela - and couldn't find anything in her data suggesting that she's a werewolf either...

I'm not sure which values determine whether an npc is a werewolf or not (they're not a separate race like with vampires).
I'm running Moonlight Tales too though, so I might take a look next time I boot up my PC.

A small WTF moment for me recently was regarding the Amazing Follower Tweaks mod - I've set a handful of npcs to wear specific outfits, but this causes them to unequip and quickly re-equip their clothing when I zone in on their cell.
So this results in awkward moments such as coming home to Lakeview Manor to find Faendal and Camillia both in the nvde before quickly shoving some clothes on and greeting me...

I wish Vilkas could tell me who sent me to a three-level cave filled with literally a hundred Falmer to retrieve a [censored] Iron Dagger so that I can kill them.

I love Talen-Jei's confused reaction if you extort Keerava for the Thieves' Guild but then help him with his wedding ring. I've done it before, I think, but this is the first time I've noticed it.

Just finished one of the missions for the CW last night, which had me going to Riften's Mistwatch to "talk with" the Steward. It's 2am and everyone is still in there, maybe because I haven't bothered to chat with the Jarl before then. I hate Riften so I never bother, she can sit there all year for all I care.

So, I walk in and try to think of how my Conjurer will be stealthy and steal this piece of paper in a back room. She's not stealthy, even though she has some points in Sneak. First, I walked all over the dining room table. Due to a mod called No NPC Greetings the only person to comment was the Housecarl who told me how I should treat the Jarl, lol. Right-o. I pvssyd to her anyway, and noticed a guard patrolling in the small corridor behind the throne. Judging by his pacing I'm supposed to sneak past him and get into a back room. Not likely. Not Sienna.

So, I simply walked up to the guard who drew his axe and said, "You're trespassing here." I clicked him again, he put away his axe and said a random generic line about vampires, dragons, the Dawnguard, can I conjure him up a warm bed, lol. Stupid stuff. During one long diatribe I left him yapping and zoomed to the dresser, snatched the paper, and ran back and clicked on him again so he'd say something rather than attack me for trespassing. Even the people in the main room didn't care what I did.

No problem. Bribed the lady, finished the mission and on my way I went :blink:

Spoiler
Dexion Evicus on my Dawnguard side of the playthrough . . .

He goes aggro each time I enter the place. all I do is beat him down or put a crossbow bolt between his eyes and then use bend will which makes him friendly until I leave and return again. That bug happened every time I reloaded so I said screw it and just started doing what I do now. Gives one hell of an opportunity for video game cruelty potential though.

Sounds like that might have something to do with that one quest in which he's
under vampiric influence.

Spoiler
I lowered the barrier and he went aggro on me so I shot him with crossbow bolt and he went to his knees. I talked to him and sent him to fort dawnguard, good thing he generally spawns right in front of me when I enter the fort. Still good cruelty potential though XD

Oh and another wtf moment for me.

Vigilance and I (vigilance is the dog from Markarth) were fighting a giant and I fire an arrow at the giant but guess who decides to jump in front of the arrow and get himself killed?

I kill the giant and wait a few days before

Spoiler
trying to get the kids a new dog, one of the dawnguard huskies by the way
but do they accept? Nope, Alesan just runs up to me and says wow is that your pet? He looks really tough so I decided to do away with the snow fox to see if that helped (obviously I waited a couple days too) but it still didn't help. I am pretty sure they are supposed to possibly want a new dog after the first one dies so I am not sure how to deal with this.

I'm travelling with Esbern at the moment (should really take him to Riverwood but ah, he can help me clear out a few dungeons first), and last night he took to getting stuck in sneak mode and randomly dashing forward left and right. We were at the entrance to Ansilvund and just as I opened the door, Esbern rushed past me, crouched down, and in a weird combination of bad clipping and interaction with the animation of the opening door, looked exactly as if he was charging forward to open the door by crashing his head through it.

I was touched. Such enthusiasm for my dungeon looting. Don't underestimate the old guy when it comes to storming doors!

Another funny moment was a few days ago during a vampire attack in the middle of Riften, which resulted in two guards being stuck inside the well in the middle of the town square, with only their heads peeking out. Especially when I walked up to them to have a giggle and one of them went; "No lollygagging!"

I killed paarthurnax on the throat of the world, and of course he glitched and stayed on the word wall while I killed him, so his health bar disappeared but his name was still there, after I killed him a few times, I decided to go tell Delphine that he was being stubborn. I fast traveled to Sky Ruler Temple and the quest "Paarthurnax" comes up and tells me to talk to Delphine, since he decided to die falling off the cliff... ALL THE WAY TO RIVERWOOD... Then I did everything, blah blah, and I later go to Whiterun for something, and I get to the merchant circle in front of The Bannered Mare and Paarthurnax pops up and drops his bone all over me. So being level 80 something, I decided to play with them, using paralyze and sprinting, I through Paarthurnax all through Whiterun (role playing of course) while he was attacking innocent bystanders. Several times I missed and hit Aela, Vilkas, and Ria, but they got back up eventually, and finally I shot paarthurnax so high, so many times with paralyze that he was banished from whiterun forever. Not to mention Aela didn't like being paralyzed too much so she came after me... And a guard came after her... And then they started getting paralyzed :| things didn't work out too much for them...

Another wtf moment. I was in Riften being a good thief pickpocketing everyone I could find, when I saw this guard sitting outside on the sidewalk, except there was no chair... He was doing a serious biggest loser workout, but I couldn't do anything to him, i could go right through him and he would look at me as i walked by... Strange :/

One more, these things keep coming to me lol I walked into Jorrvaskr and Farkas opens diolague with me and unsheaths his sword, I exit diolague and he does the same thing when he gets done saying some random line, so after a while of this, I decided enough was enough (he was opening dialogue even when I was using the forge, so I couldn't do anything...), I decided to do his "Purity" quest and leave him at the tomb (considering he forced me to leave my hireling) when I got done he did the SAME THING and wouldn't let me leave, so I cut his head off... I never had a problem with him again, but then Vilkas started to do it.. You know what happened to him...

New one today and a totally weird one, Argonian along the road east of Markart, I use detect life who show him blue. I sneakup to him and he is named "thief".

Interesting, she redraws and cast detect life again to be sure before showing herself as he should be hostile.

Argonian detect spell goes hostile and eat some arrows, as he take the last a meter away before I go melee he start to say something and disappear with some short magic effect.

Detect life shows nothing: either he sprinted out of detect range while invisible or he disintegrated.

My Nord character (level 43, but hasn't unlocked dragons yet) was exploring the hills in the northwest, near Mor Khazgur, when he happened upon a sabre cat. This sabre cat quickly spotted him and went into a hostile stance. My character, astride his armored steed, responded by pulling out his sword. As I am lining up for a charge, I hear a loud warcry from my left. My jaw literally dropped as I beheld a huge squad of forsworn pouring over the hill on my flank. The number of them was twelve strong, and their vicious swords thirsted for my blood.

My character barely evaded the first wave of their attack, as he brought his horse around for a sprint out of the way. However, like his forefathers of old, he answered the call of battle and lined up a new charge.

Weaving in and out of the enemy ranks, he struck at his foes. For every ounce of blood my character lost, his enemies paid in hundred fold. When the cries of the forsworn fell silent, the hill was covered with their corpses; even the sabre cat did not escape. (I almost died, and it could have gone sour very easily; especially if I didn't have the advantage of my horse.)

Curious as to where these forsworn came from, my character trotted his horse up to the top of the hill. Just over the crest he found the corpses of an Orc hunting party, as well as a few imperial scouts. There was even a dead peasant who had been dabbling with a magic staff.

I've never had that many enemies attack me in a single random radiant event, ever. I'm also not running any mods that make that kind of change. What I think happened was that I somehow spawned two radiant events of forsworn attacking an Orc hunting party and imperial scouts, all within in close proximity of an unfortunate NPC. By some phenomenon, they joined up and aggro'ed on me.

Lancifer: 12 was a lot, I had one with around 12 involved but not all was alive at once and it was multiple sides.

Me and Serena arrives Dragonbridge by carriage, an dragon decides to visit his bridge and attacks, now as they often does the dragon circles after taking some damage, it stopped for an new attack just outside the city, I, Serena and the city guards run towards the dragon, hoping some stupid bear should tank for us.

Found it was four vampires, we attacked both sides, the dragon dies and we and the vampires fight, now a group of stormcloaks hit the vampires from the other side, the vampires goes down fast and the city guard and stormcloaks continue to fight. I and Serena stays out of the end battle, the stormcloaks lost, probably as they took more damage from the vampires.

If you count me and Serena as one side, you also had the imperial city guards, the vampires, the dragon and the stormcloaks, that is 5 sides

Once I was clearing an old Imperial fort with my posse and when I killed this bandit woman, she froze while in the process of falling down. When I hit her again she screamed and flew up into the ceiling, as shown http://i.imgur.com/hXbhZKg.jpg. Her body stayed in the corner like that, but it would swivel so it was always facing my direction.

It goes without saying that I didn't play Skyrim for the rest of the night.

Was playing Skyrim last night with a mod follower Hoth. He has interesting dialog and says stuff that gets me laughing.

Anyway was in the Reach when my forsworn character Valeria with her follower Hoth come across a khajiit standing in the road. He was standing there selling skooma so Valeria decided to buy all he had. While she was chatting with him, buying skooma I hear Hoth say "I know a thousand ways to skin a khajiit."

Guess he didn't like how close and flirty this khajiit was getting with his forsworn gal. :P
