I once found a slaughterfish flying around on the shore five feet above the ground. Obviously I killed it. There have been too many odd death poses my enemies have had for me to remember any... however once an arrow made someone do a perfect cartwheel.

Well, I've got a couple of videos on YouTube about some glitches that I've had happen.

The first one was recorded while I was rampaging in Market District. I Paralyzed Phintias the bookseller and he fell down all clumped up. After hitting him he started stretching and spasming like a demented piece of rubber.

The second one was also while I was rampaging, but this time in the Imperial Palace. When I hit a guard with my Finger of the Mountain he flew back and got stuck in a door frame.

The third one happened a couple of days back on my Breton. I Fast Traveled to Waterfront District, just to see all the water was gone.

And finally, the last one was yesterday. I was randomly running around Temple District when I entered Salomon Geonette's house. I pulled out my weapon and his dog Charlotte attacked me. Salomon got in the way and almost got killed by her. He escaped while the dog was just standing there in front of the door. I killed her with a Power Attack and she fell down through the floor.

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
That's a known bug with Vampirism. There is a workaround you can use to avoid it:
wiki wrote:When loading a vampire character save from the main start screen, your character's face may be altered to the default face. Female vampires may have their face change into that of an elderly male vampire (although the rest of the body remains female). To avoid this bug, load a different save from the main start screen, and then load your vampire character save from the in-game load menu.

the person open the door to his cell as he said "your own kinsmen think you're a piece of..." and they punched him in the face... Later killed him and he was stilling after his death

I once was running through the Arena Bloodworks carrying almost as much as I could carry without being over-encumbered. The Dunmer guy was practicing his archery and I ran in front of him and he hit me with an arrow, it didn't do any damage but it went into my inventory and over-encumbered me.

a weird thing that happened to me once when i was duplicating alot of items over and over cause i was bored. I musta duplicated like 200,000 swords or some random item. My xbox was getting really laggy and eventually all of the items dissapeared and a bag came out of nowhere in place of all my items. i looked at the bag and it was labeled 'Loot bag', i searched it and there were my 200,000 swords

that happens whenever a cell has too much in it, it creates a loot bag which basically holds everything that you duplicated to avoid crashing (I think)

that's Mr. Doctor Proffesor Mudcrab to you :wink: . I was in the beginning of the game, in the part of the game at the beginning where you get the goblin staff and there are all the goblins. anyway, two of the goblins I killed fell on eachother and landed in a very... interesting position.

I once smacked Martin while I was in the Kvatch chapel and he flew into the door and he went halfway through the door and just his legs were sticking out and they were flailing uncontrollably. I couldn't stop laughing for like 20 mins.

I think this is near the beginning of the topic but Outside of bruma there were two imperial foresters shooting at each other for some reason, so I jus stood there and watched until one of them was dead and looted the dead body. (who is the shadowmere person everyone's talking about?)

Man, I noticed that same thing!, When I do the Brotherhood Betrayed Quest, or the 2nd deadrop as luciens silencer, I always pass the scene of 2 legion soldiers shooting at each other. Also, as Shadowmere, he's the invincible and fastest horse in the game you get in the Dark Brotherhood quests.

It's most likely you saw this scene in Bruma where 2 imperial foresters hunt for deer/bear. What usually happens is one accidentally hits each other and then they start fighting each other till the death.

They don't start by accidentally hitting each other while gunning for the same target. When one Forester sees another Forester chasing a deer, he will "rescue" that deer by attacking its pursuer.

I have walked up to those two Foresters having a pleasant conversation together and, as soon as they finish, Bambi goes prancing by with his tail in the air. One of the Foresters starts chasing, the other pulls out his bow and shoots the first Forester in the back.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

I thought that meant that the other forester wanted to kill the deer.

A couple of days ago, I was strolling around Market District when all of a sudden Ontus Vanin summoned up a piece of bound armor and struck me. After a guard made short work of him, others started attacking the guard, including other Imperial Legionnaires.

I was once outside Skingrad on one of my other characters and Glarthir sees me and start following me so I ran away but he kept following me, then a Bandit jumps out from behind a bush with a Warhammer that has a burden effect and she hits me first so I'm over-encumbered then she goes and beats the crap out of Glarthir so I'm standing there, helpless, watching Glarthir get killed.

now you can't kill him during the quest.
I would be a procrastinator, but I keep putting it off.
