While riding my horse along the northern coast, I am attacked by an ice wraith. So I get off my horse to kill it, and as soon as I dismount.... my horse flies straight up into the air, then falls and dies..... Then I went back to Markarth where I had bought my previous horse, and there was a horse there already saddled, and riding it was not a crime. I could just take it... I guess the game felt bad for killing my horse in such a ridiculous fashion that it gave me a free one.... ?

Lucky... That's actually an Easter egg.

--------------------

My WTF! moment was while I was fighting a Blood Dragon. I'm shooting off Ice Spikes at it, alternating between a single stronger spike and two weaker ones, and when it finally dies it goes flying off into the distance. It turns out the dragon launching works with ice spikes. The really bad part; I had shot off 2 spikes, so when one disappeared, the other was a little behind it. This made the dragon get launched AGAIN. I hadn't even got its soul or bones and scales yet. My face was literally like...

Hahahaha!

:facepalm:

wtf. rofl

I have to see this now. If this really is in game.

A cave bear finished off the last quarter of health of a dragon I was fighting!

Deciding to pick a fight with a giant. No, this isn't the usual "giant whacked me into space" deal. Read on and you shall see!

I managed to anger only one giant and, with good, liberal use of stamina, lured it all the way from its camp to Whiterun Stables (Wasn't that far off) all while shooting flame spells at it.

Luckily, there was a man, Havor I think, there in the stables. I jumped into the pen, safe and sound and watched as he pulled out his tiny little dagger to face the giant. Only nothing happen. In that little confined space, both he and the giant simply stood there and stared at each other with Havor making the usual combat quotes to the giant. Not one of them tried to kill the other. I'm not sure if the giants are programmed to have angry faces or not when fighting, but this one looked almost regretfully sad when looking at this young stable man.

I enjoyed this veiw for a good two minutes before I decided to end it by flaming the giant along with Havor actually slashing at it. Result? We actually managed to kill it. The giant didn't really do anything, though, just stood there and took the beating.

Oh, and his mammoth was watching the whole thing from atop the hill, not once bothering to do anything until I approached it.

First time I saw a Giant I thought they were friendly so I went to say hi and thought it was waving at me... it was lifting it's club in the air. I got a good view of Skyrim that day.

first time i attacked a giant, i was thrown 50 feet into the air, spinning like a damn carousel. Hilarious.

I found this exact thing on my way out of Markath, funnily enough after drinking some mead that was offered to me by an NPC on the road. Then I started picking flowers and got attacked by a dragon. ._.

I got mugged as a werewolf (check weremugging thread for screenshot) I think that classifies as a WTF moment.

This. sounds. epic! :intergalactic:

While in a dungeon my Archer and Lydia were fighting a decent sized group of draugr. Being an Archer I decided tostay back firing missiles while Lydia wade in there with the melee. As with most companions they tend to ge in the way of your attacks. Right when Lydia was dispatching the last undead I hit her in the face with one of my arrows. You would think that would have ticked her off but she had no problem holding a conversation with me while an arrow stuck out of her face. Really strange sight.

I have also seen my horse get stuck on top of a butterfly and get moved along by it.

Found a giant on its own shortly after i'd joined the companions fight against one. I decided i'd try and take it on so shot it with my bow. It's health hardly moved so I proceeded to spastically sprint around and take the odd shot. When it finally caught me it smashed me so far into the air that the auto-load happened before i'd stopped going upwards. O.O

Second I was fighting a dragon in a fort i'd just cleared of those casters in black robes. Fight was going well and it finally landed in the middle of the fort when I got it to about 50%. I kept running around shooting it and when it was nearly dead I ran in for the killing shot. The dragon grabbed me in its mouth and THREW me about 200 metres out of the fort, where I ragdolled down a hill until auto-load. That was awesome, I must of sat there for 5-10 seconds in shocked silence.

My horse taking out an entire bandit camp singlehandedly. Even funnier, my companion died during the battle, yet the horse was nearly unscathed.

Here's another "WTF" moment:

If you get your sneak skill high enough then apparently you essentially become invisible. I was sneaking around a wrecked ship and had mud crabs literally bumping into me and then walking right on by as if I wasn't even there.

Finding out how quickly I get killed when I fast travel to a city and become a blood-starved vampire upon arrival.

Finding out that I can enchant my pickaxe. If only I could improve it through smithing, too!

Having a conversation in stealth with the Dunmer chick from the Nightingales (in dwemer ruins) while a falmer just casually walks in between us. Spamming B button commenced.

Why Do You Type Like This? It Makes You Look Rather Stupid.

First: Lydia getting jumped by a snow bear and falling off a cliff. R.I.P Lydia, 11/11/11.

Second: Crucified Hargravens, holy [censored].

Third: Teleporting undead boss.

Fourth: The stretchy purple dragon.
I encountered a dragon that had the purple, bugged colour. The next moment it stretched his mouth 50 metres and killed me throwing me into a mountain. I tried to screen it and my game crashed to desktop. (Happens too damn often.)

Fifth: Fighting a dragon and suddenly I hear a big boom and the next thing I know is my companion flying at me just to get my ass thrown off Shearpoint. [censored] you, Krosis.

Sixth: I decided to travel to Riverwood because I was level 42 and didn't complete the Golden Claw quest (still haven't, lol).

This huge ass dragon attacks and I decided to kill it. Me absorbing its soul went to shift tab to sort my incoming [censored] friend-messages. What do I see behind the friends chat of doom? A HUGE giant smacking my monkey ass seemingly all the way to Whiterun.

Had no near save....

Oh and a chicken-guard, made me lol.

Shearpoint:...TWO dragons, Krosis(or whatever his name is)...

Exiting the College of Winterhold and a blood dragon lands in the courtyard immediately, wasn't expecting that.

My WTF moment came when I was fighting a dragon and the animation was terribly off. I then proceeded to kill the dragon only to find another enemy has been pulled (krosis)

Sure I'd had quite a few beers at this point, but it was pretty entertaining

here's the video:

When I had a dragon fly over and attack and when I hit it with full power dragonrend and it flew into the mountains...... Then it came back landed on a house and burned us and another dragonrend followed by another flight to the mountains...... Then I said [censored] it and called in odahviing who circled around next to it and landed on a few buildings and finally left..... What were the guards and citizens doing? "My money's on the big one!" That guy watched from a nearby railing outside a building.....

Watching a totally unconcerned goat float off diagonally into the distant sky before dropping to its death.
