One time I knocked out a guard with my sword. And then I did a paralyze spell on him while he was knocked out, and he stretched out so much, it was hilarious.

Also this one time, I saw two Imperial Hunters (whatever they are called), shooting arrows at each other. It was actually quite fun to watch.

My previous character:

He sure has some nimble (and ugly) fingers:

Sometimes he likes to get naked and people remember him like that. Or was the artist maybe a female?!?:

Two faces that made me ROFL:

This happened to me when i entered one of the basements uninvited (i used my shaddow well...):

Shadowmere also decided it was time for some stunts (she tried to dip herself on her front legs and head):

He stepped into some mud:

I remember coming out of a city (I think it was Bravil), and went into the stables to steal a horse for a joy ride to my next location. But when I got there, a horse was standing on top of a gate. I opened the gate in curiosity, and surprisingly, the horse just stayed there. I then tried to get on it, and then it spawned on the ground.

Hmm... one time, I was doing the Untaxing the Poor quest for the Thieves Guild. When I entered the guard tower, it was completely vacant except for one guard, sitting in a chair and spazzing out. I wish I had a video of it... anyway, I decided to (saving first) attack him. He didn't respond, apart from "There's a madman in here!" and things like that. Somehow, none of the other guards in the city noticed. So, he died, and I took his keys. It was fun :)

Do you know what happens if you shoot an arrow to deers ***?
The tail will try to whack you until you die for revenge...

SPOILER And the Ulfgar Fog-Eye glitch if you shoot him down from the lighthouse before you have the Dark Brotherhood quest? That never gets old...

My favorite has still got to be what happens when you're sitting down and try to mount a horse. There's a video on Youtube that shows what happens. :shock:

No, but Mazoga killed her. Lawl.

When trying to get the count of Bruma's assistance for the main quest, I decided to find him at early hours, the guards got mad and started attacking me and the count defended me. Unfortunately the count was unarmed and his robes could only take so much. He died.

I dont know if somebody else noticed this and i dont know if this always works. But i got 2 ebony bows, they're both hotkeyed into one slot and after a few arrows i gabbed my sword. After sneaking a bit further i grabbed my bow again but it was fully repaired to 100, both of them!
sorry for the bad english, and can somebody check this to confirm it
thanx Draykth

I was just duplicating some enchanted arrows. I just had dropped a stack of arrows of shock on the ground, 2 per quiver, and they began to spin wildly. It just kept getting faster and faster, then it sent all the arrows in different directions.

Of course this had to happen in my house, resulting in all my decorations being knocked over :Angry:

Ok so my funny thing is a bit more serious than most. When ever I attempt to complete the "In the Nightmare Darkly" quest the game dies and I get an "Oblivion had encounterd a problem, do you want to send an error report" thing. What is going on?

I killed Lucien Lachance once just for the heck of it, then put his body in a door and watched him flail around. The glitch itself wasn't all that funny (though some rather interesting moments passed when the body settled a bit) the real fun came from watching my friend watch with a shocked/sad/angry/amused look on her face, while crying and laughing at the same time.

As for unintentional glitches, I killed a mountain lion once and made it go flying a short distance. Once it stopped, its front legs were underneath it between its legs, butt in the air, while oddly shaking real fast.
My friends have come up with many a perverted joke about it.

(This one was a three in one!)
I once messed with the duplication glitch in the Shivering Isles in Crucible. I started by duplicating about 50+ random bones. I jumped down into the mess, and somehow ended up UNDER the city.
After the wonder wore off, I started mass duplicating Sigil Stones (completely killing my speakers with the obnoxiously loud noise they all made) I think by the time I for done, or really, before the next glitch happened, I had to have duplicated over 5,000 Sigil Stones, which all piled up into the middle of an invisible dip in the terrain, making a huge sea of black.
After I got to an obscene amount of stones piled up, and my friend's dad ready to either turn the sound off, or just stop all together, the strangest thing happened: one moment there were thousands of stones in front of me, the next, they completely disappeared....all of them.
It was odd.

Another odd glitch that also involved duplicating sigil stones is one of my best examples to show how well I'd be as a videogame tester.
I was in a random spot (I've done this several times, so I have no clue where I did it first) and started duplicating. I went up to my highest amount of scrolls (about 4000 something) and duplicated the items.
My 360 struggled to work, but eventually, it stopped working and I had to turn it off.

I've had a few glitches pop up in my time with the game. I play it on the console so I don't really have any work-arounds though.

-When I created my first character I did a lot of tweaking to get her just right. IE Choosing a redguard for the stats, and messing with the characters looks until i got her to look somewhat like Ayane from DOA. (You... probably shouldn't ask.) After quite some time playing the game my character contracted vampirism, and I noticed she was beginning to look odd, beyond the normal vampire-like attributes. Over time I slowly watched her morph back into a redguard MAN with a female body. I kept the account for novelties sake and started over. XD

Other then that its mostly been annoying little things that somewhat bother me.

-The man who runs the betting pool for the Arena now attacks me on sight for no apparent reason,a nd he refuses to be calmed of his sudden agression

-Several of my posse (The NPCs that follow you around) Have managed to disappear completely during travel, including Shadowmere, and Mazoga. No amount of waiting around, fast travelling, or backtracking seems to rectify this.

-Often when NPCs tell me to come back in a certain amount of time, and I do so they'll act as though I didn't do so.


Thats... pretty much all I can recall for now. I'll take a picture of the redguard thing at some point and post it when i'm able to post links.

I once(or maybe three times)cast the spell repulse undead on my everscamps. Since they turned hostile after that, guards and civilians started to help. I think they hit eachother because they started a riot that killed two thirds of the imperial city. it was funny.
