I decided to visit the Mage's College to learn more magic. After completing the gate guard quest, she leads me through the bridge. I here something thunderous overhead, as I said to my friend on voice chat, "What was that?" A loving dragon. She proceeds to kill the gently caress out of the poor thing with lightning magic, with me helping with the occasional dualcasted Fireball. I got the last hit. Nice decoration for them.

I dropped a sword, and an NPC picked it up and gave it back to me. Except I was at the bottom of a dungeon, I was sneaking and hidden at the time, and the NPC was one of the hostile faction I was busy murdering. Oh, Bethesda. Never change.

Walk into Whiterun, an old Grey Mane dude decides to draw his sword and start hitting me. Guard and housecarl take him out. Im saying to myself "Maybe its because I sided with the imperials, thats neat" Walk into dragonsreach the whole place goes aggro and tries to kill me. Load and reload and nothing. I have to go outside, kill a guard and get arrested for the thing to clear me.

It was a good spot, but when someone walked into the corpse it flew across the courtyard into the wall. Fun battle, the dragon kept going up to the wall tops and landing on them and breathing down on me, then jumping back off to land in the courtyard.

Two dead dragons at the Mage's College.

I dismounted my horse in order to gather some lavender by the river, but when I turned around to get back on, it was gone. I found its body at the bottom of a waterfall.

Rough Lobster posted:Yeah they really nailed dragon attacks with this game. I'm actually surprised it hasn't screwed with any of my quests. Actually, one time it helped. I had a Dark Brotherhood quest to kill some guy at a camp. I snuck up behind him, ready to kill: and he gets frost breathed to death by the dragon that landed behind me. Before the game came out, I was worried that dragon attacks would be the new oblivion gates. And in the sense that you just keep bumping into them out of nowhere they are, but at least dragons can cause emergent hilarity. They're really just huge flying NPCs that hate everybody, in that light.

I came upon a bandit camp just as a dragon emerged. Naturally they all kept attacking me while the dragon blasted the hell out of their fort. I ended up killing the dragon and using its body as cover for picking off the remaining bandits.

I've been fiddling with an alt, just to get a feel for magic (it's awesome), and when I got to Riverwood, one of the elf NPC's was dead in the road. I'm fairly confident he has to do with a super minor quest that's not worth spoiling where the general store owner's sister has too many dudes after her. As a level 1, it was great to steal all his poo poo and use/sell it.

Towards the very beginning of the game, I beeline for the river and start heading East to the first town in the Main Quest. Along the way, I see two wolves on the opposite side of the river, and decide to (poorly) shoot at them with my bow. I fail to kill either before they run off into the woods. Apparently wolves don't like water. I continue heading towards town when I come across a mine. An Orc bandit is standing outside and tells me to get lost. I oblige, and hug the river a little tighter to avoid pissing him off--this takes me out of the Orc's line of sight. No sooner do I do this than I hear the sound of the Orc getting laid out by something. A few second later, I see two wolves dart by above me, heading towards the spot I had been shooting at them from. They had crossed the bridge way down by the town and had doubled back to attack me. The Orc was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, I guess.

Two dragons ambushed the hot springs. The girls in bikinis... they're all... dead. Except for one who tried to kill the dragon with her bare hands before I delivered the final blow. Also failed to loot one of the dragon's corpses because I couldn't find it among the piles of mammoth bones in that area.

I feel like random dragon attacks always end up amusing me somehow. I was fighting one of the quest dragons and all of the sudden it flew away a bit and landed, obviously fighting something else. Next thing I know my quest popup says to tell Sklor that I killed the criminal.

So there's this quest in the Thieves' Guild storyline where I'm supposed to infiltrate very heavily guarded house. Even the only entrance is guarded by a huge, scary orc sentry. Who is so badass that to learn of, and to find an item to bribe or blackmail him is a whole quest on its own. So I spent like 20 minutes looking for that item before giving up and deciding that gently caress it, I'm taking my chances with this guy. Scoured the building for a way to get in and didn't even notice the orc sneaking up on me and killing me in a couple of hits. Ouch. The next attempt I prepared much more carefully. Meticulously keeping an eye on this guy and remembering his patrol pattens. Then sneaking very, veeery carefully towards the objective... drat, he saw me. I was hauling rear end away from him SO FAST, and ... oh wait, he bumped into a city guard. Who slaughtered him in one hit. I was like, "thanks buddy"    and proceeded to rob the place unhindered.

I'm not sure if it counts as emergent behavior, but the first random quest I get from the Companions is to intimidate (see: punch out) a random person. 'Go intimidate this Sigrid person'. Heh, Sigrid? Yeah, that dude is going down. Okay, back to Riverwood, let's find this Sigrid. Wait, the house with the smithing stuff? Don't tell me... Walk inside, Whats-his-name is sitting there with his wife, Sigrid. I was sent to beat up his wife. Okay Sigrid, let's do this! Challenge her, start beating the crap out of her, husband flips his poo poo, OH GOD WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING HER. Knock her down in two hits, gets back up, 'okay fine i'll submit'. Husband acts like nothing happens.

A random guard out in Bumfucksville: "My brother is out fighting dragons what am I stuck with?" WOOSH "DRAGON!" It made me very happy that at least one of those whiny stinkyhole guards got taught about being careful what you wish for.

I just had three hired thugs try to ambush me. I was expecting the contract to be signed by some named NPC who secretly had a grudge against me for things I have been doing but what do I find? "Apprentice Ice Mage" signed the contract. Really? I doubt he could have afforded them based on the amount of gold and steel armor and weapons they dropped. The best part? I have no idea who the gently caress this could be. Obviously some nobody has slipped from my grasp and will probably harass me with thugs until I am done with this game because I will never find him again.

Walking up the mountain path to High Hrothgar, I stop to speak with one of the pilgrims making the trek. "Be careful up ahead. There's-" ***DRAGON*** Didn't even get the music cue. Despite having a dragon land on her mid-sentence, she survived the fight, and continued to be amazed about the Dovahkiin.

At the VERY beginning of the Mage's College quests, the old dude was going to show the class how Wards worked. I had Lydia with me, and when I realized he was going to shoot at me, I dismissed her, assuming she'd run to protect me. So, as she's walking out of the room, the teacher blasts me and I block with my ward, but Lydia flips her poo poo and draws her sword. In the blink of an eye, every mage in the room (probably 6 or 8 at this point) blasts her with every sort of magic imaginable and she's vaporized. Yeah, after I reloaded, I dismissed her outside..

There are a few dungeons (the one with Falco? comes to mind) where items aren't flagged appropriately, so you end up stealing items. I'm pretty sure "Mistwatch Bandit" won't be sending anymore thugs after me, though.

A dragon swooped in on me between Rorikstead and Whiterun but rather than hitting me, he managed to wipe out an entire Khajit Caravan making their way across a bridge behind me. The 5 gypsy cat bodies flew everywhere. It was awesome.

I had thugs sent after me for stealing from Jawaman (some apprentice at the Fletcher store in Solitude). I didn't remember who Jawaman was at the time until I ran into him like a week later in Solitude. I followed him back to the store where he fell asleep, so I killed him and put the bounty note back on his body. The store owner apparently heard his scream and told me to get out of the store. So I did. The owner then came out and ran off, so I chased him. I thought he was going to tell a guard but for five minutes we ended up playing a game of retarded tag, and then he went back to the store and went back to bed. I still have no bounty on me.

I've definitely gotten comments from guards on my thief character on how light armour is a smart choice as it offers lots of mobility. These comments might just trigger if you're wearing a full set of one armor type, though.

They'll comment on things depending on your skills (sneak/pickpocket at least). Not sure if the armor ones are just based on you wearing it or also on skill. I've also gotten "aren't you afraid of starting a fire" when running around with a fire enchanted weapon equipped.

I've been referred to as a bard, Companion, and thief by the guards. They're pretty antagonistic about the last one. And for some reason guards keep saying something like "You prefer the bow, huh? I'm a swordsman myself" even though I have 75 one-handed skill and 30 archery.

There's actually a ton of random comments that NPC's will spout based on various hidden conditions. The strat guide listed probably around 100 different situations that will trigger comments. The oddest is the fact that some people, including guards, will comment on the fact that I've been picking pockets. I have, but how do they know? I've never been caught, and never had a bounty, so how are they aware that I'm a thief? And if they do know, shouldn't the guards know and put a bounty on me? Man, the whole crime tracking system in this game is weird. I went into a town for the very first time and the guards said I had to pay a bounty off. Don't know where it came from, but I definitely incurred a bounty to this town somehow.

Think of it as the difference between saying "OJ is guilty" and actually convicting OJ. Everyone knows that you are around when poo poo goes missing and maybe they saw you a few times in Thieves Guild gear or some bullshit, but nobody *actually* caught you doing it so they can't throw you in jail.

I play like a true moron barbarian with light armor and my giant axe (Wuuthrad). I have been leveling archery to be able to handle the jackass dragons that never want to land and face their steel assisted death machine. I was just talking to my friend about the game when I heard a bear's roar. "Oh yay! I can plug like 6-8 arrows in one of these bastards and get some skillups!" I thought. I cut my conversation with my friend and drew my bow, shot the bear, sprinted back a little, drew one more arrow to find one bear drew two more bear buddies. 3 quivers of arrows and the distance of Riften to Whiterun later, I killed two trolls, three bears, three bandits, and five wolves. I barely gained any skillups either. In addition to my flying dragon woes, I became overencumbered near the end of a dungeon, so I dumped a ton of gear on Lydia. She always seems to be a day late and a dollar short in every encounter. She'll bum rush a giant and immediately get wrecked, or happen to show up just as I'm delivering the killing blow. I was plinking at a dragon, cursing it's name and wanting to give it a proper hacking, when suddenly two fireballs whiz past my head and plug the dragon, forcing it to the ground. I turn and find Lydia standing there dual wielding fireball staves and absolutely ing the dragon as it frantically tries to get away. I charge up and slaughter the bastard and can't stop laughing at the ONE TIME Lydia decided to deliver.
