I got accosted by a Khajiit thief on the way out of a small town. While he was threatening me, a dragon landed beside us. I promptly told him to fuck off for a minute, and while he and I started attacking the dragon together (suddenly, teamwork!), a troll comes sprinting out of the fucking forest and starts wailing on the dragon too. Two minutes later, the dragon is dead, the troll is rocking out on some other dude, and I'm trying to kill the troll. I put in the killing blow as he mauls his target to death. Turns out it was a courier who just happened in at the worst possible time. The thief got killed by the dragon somewhere in there.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

EDIT for clarity

I'm not worried, I get 2 miles to the gallop.

My usual reaction is to drop a summon in the middle of the fight, Fus into all three of them, and then barrage them with arrows until they die.

I need to quick save a lot.

Not all of us are the 1% you know, some of us have to ride the carriage to work and home. I see shit like this everyday but I deal with it. Now these damn adventurer kids with their shitty bard music and ironic armor keep moving into my neighborhood for "real" experiences and then shit themselves when a troll tears a mans face off on the road. At least the inn is cheap, that's what you wanted right?

don't park your horse there, look away for two seconds and they'll have stolen your horseshoes

I helped a couple of guards fight off bandits several times. The game is really good at amazing me with things I wouldn't expect in a game. Like playing with kids.

I've been playing Oblivion until I can get Skyrim, but all these excellent adventure posts just show me what I'm missing. Nothing happens when I walk from town to town. I fight three wolves, pick a whole bunch of flowers, and get rained on.

Beartown is the worst part of town, and the one I'm always glad I have a horse when passing through.

The only problem is most of Skyrim is Beartown.

I was walking back from a quest outside Solitude when I saw people on a far off hill attacking something. I got closer and found that it was a three-sided battle between Imperial soldiers, Stormcloak soldiers, and a bunch of frostbite spiders. The spiders were all dead by the time I got there. Eventually, there were only two soldiers left standing - one from each side.

I stood there with Lydia and... healed both soldiers as they tried to hack each other into pieces. This entertained me for a while and gave me a skill boost.

I was climbing this giant mountain cause I saw a dragon fly far above and in my naivety thought I could take it on.

On my way up the mountain, I came across a giant. I whirlwind sprinted the fuck away from him and further up the mountain. I finally came close enough to the dragon to hit it with my arrows. After I wasted about 20-30, one finally hit home and the dragon became angry. That's when I started running back down the mountain for my life.

As luck would have it, another dragon chooses the exact moment to appear from out of fucking nowhere and land in front of me. So I've got one dragon flying above me and one shooting fire at my face and I'm like, God just get me out of here alive.

Somehow survived and kept running down the mountain when I see the giant running up towards me. I hear a roar behind me and turn to find one of the dragons diving to fire bomb me. I promptly jumped the fuck out of the fire and it hit the giant. Next thing I know, I'm hiding in this small crevice on a cliff wall as two dragons and giants have epic battle in front of me.

Finally (about 40 minutes later), one dragon and giant died and the other was injured enough that I was able to take it down. I smugly collected my dragon souls and never came back to the mountain again.

I had to fight a blood dragon just as I was approaching a bandit fortress near Whiterun. I thought cool they'll distract it, but no the dragon killed only one and then focused on me only. While I was desperately trying to dodge the dragon breath by hiding behind rocks, the remaining 4 bandits flanked me on the other side, ignoring the dragon. The only reason I survived was because I drank half my potion inventory mid-battle.

I remembered passing a place called the Bandit's Gorge on my way to Solitude. I was on my horse and trying to leave them the fuck alone and they killed my ride with arrows! I got so pissed I went up and slaughtered every damn bandit that called that shithole home.

I ran into a group of three "soldiers" who either killed three Imperial Soldiers or found them dead and were just in a process of looting them when I arrived. When they saw me they pretended to be Imperial solders that claimed I was interupting official "umh....Empire business and that I should pay a fine of...ummm.... let's say 100 gold".

Of course I refused and we battled. They killed me but I saved like two minutes before I ran into them so upon loading that save and arriving at the same spot there wasn't anyone there which clearly means it wasn't scripted event or anything but a randomly generated encounter, perhaps that radiant story mode. Needless to say that realization blew my mind.

I once fast-travelled to Riften to do some smithing, and when I got to the market, the guards were going crazy. I could see two random people running away. I decided to follow the crowd to see what was going down, and to my amazement, I found about 30 guards with bows waiting by a locked gate with a thief in the garden. Suddenly, every guard there released a volley of arrows, killing anyone in front of them, including the guards that were nearby. It was a literal "OUR ARROWS WILL BLOCK OUT THE SUN" moment. Needless to say, the thief died, but I was super-happy because there was about 20 bodies for me to loot. I attempted to unlock the gate to loot the thief, but ended up breaking a pick and having the 10 remaining guards chase me around Riften. It was a glorious day.

TL;DR shit went down, people got hurt, I got loot.

Post of the week

Commiserator · 6 months

Yesterday I killed a guy named "scavenger"

He was wearing a stormcloak chest piece and an imperial helmet.

After I killed him, I found a string of bodies the direction he was coming from.

Two imperial soldiers and one stormcloak. One imperial and one stormcloak were stripped naked.

That was pretty damn intense.

Once, as I was wandering Skyrim, I visited Dawnstar to try and do the Nightmare quest. As soon as I walked in the gate, one blood dragon and one regular dragon BOTH attacked at the same time. I got eaten like a thanksgiving turkey.

I was walking south east of Whiterun hunting for pelts (so much easier with slow motion perk) when a gang of bandits ran past me all yelling. I followed them closely and they stopped while cresting a hill saying "there we are! Lets get em!".

I walk over the hill and see them fighting two giants with their two Mammoths. I literally took my hands of the mouse and keyboard and just watched them. It was crazy, these guys and gals were getting spanked hard, but it was like an arena fight, I had to watch.

Finally the giants had killed each one of the attackers except for one girl who was pelting them with arrows and running away. I aimed at her, slowed down time and stuck an arrow into her rib cage killing her. The giants turned to look at me, grunted and started running after me.

I ran away and all I can think of in my head was "I SAVED YOU YA BUNCH OF UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS!!!". I did get away with the help of the fast run shout, but I returned later, found a perch on the side of a mountain and proceeded to kill both giants and injure one Mammoth. That will teach them to mix me up with greasy bandits...

I find evidence of violence all the time, and even the skeletons of a few dragons that I didn't kill. Last night I was hiking through the mountains when a thief ran up and gave me stolen property. A few minutes later I was sneaking up on a dragon that I found sleeping in it's lair when the guy hunting the thief ran up to me to ask if I'd seen where he went, waking the dragon in the process.

I held off on attacking, hoping that the dragon would eat him.

I'm an Argonian, so I get the same shit that the Dark elves get. So I'm walking by a river, minding my own business, when some racist ass Nord starts charging me and calling me a lizard. Then an Argonian who I've never seen or met before jumps out of the river, smashes the Nord's head in with a hammer, an then he just jumps back in like this shit is his job. Talk about helping a brother out!

I was going to give you an upvote for Horse windows, but when I saw Horse-Doors and Horse-Drove... I don't know I could do to measure up to that level of awesome.

Some Orc was trying to sling some skooma on the corner. He didn't realize he was in my territory.

I busted an arrow in his ass and stole his drug money and his skooma.
