I went to the stable outside Cheydinhal to pick up Shadowmere (my horse) and found him literally joined up with another horse - they were standing intersecting each other in an X shape.

Deciding to increase my heavy armor and blade skill, I cause a big fight at Martin, Jauffree and Captn. Steffan. When I knocked Martin out, he went flipping over his table and falling on the other side like those old western movies.

When I knocked Jauffree out, he went flying into the wall DBZ style (Legs and arms outstretched on one side while he flies the opposite direction).

Then, when Steffan and I were outside the entrance between the pillar and big bowl of flame, Steffan preformed the "Ping-Pong" for me when I knocked him out. he flew into the bowl, bounced off and hit the pillar, then bounced back to the bowl before collasping on the ground. I was almost expecting a neon, flashing "TILT" sign to be flashing above him.

I just simply wanted to level up quickly to Lvl. 20 so I can do the Deadric quests, but this just exceeded my expectations! :lol:

EDIT: As to why the other Blades didn't come to fight me? Well, I kinda gave them a vacation to Paradise. :wink:

I duplicated a lot of watermelons in Arch-Mage Traven's room. Now he can't get up, much less than reach the door.

As I was laughing, the game crashed down on me. :cry:

Ever wonder how they say "Who goes there?" when you're sneaking without invisibility, don't notice you when you are walking invisibly, but automatically "see" you when you are doing neither? Invisibility shouldn't really hamper their apparently very acute hearing.

Maybe invisibilty has built in inaudibility as well.
Because when you are wearing full steel armor, have casted invisibility on yourself, jump from 4m high ledge and land right behind marauder, he doesn't even notice you.
Half ton of steel is going to make some kind of noice when it falls few meters and lands on a stone floor.

I've seen a couple of funny things, one of the funnier ones was two imperial foresters duking it out in ranged combat.

Another was I put the Imperial Watch Shield you get for assasinating the guard in DB quests into a display case and tried closing the case and the shield was forced through the bottom of the case.

Apart from that I've seen the random dead creatures standing there frozen until you walk up and they promptly fall over.

I've also seen Gromm in Bruma go berserk in the bar and start killing random patrons.. that was a bit weird.

I saw the foresters killing each other before, and have also found a drunken goblin. He was dead. Weird.

The drunken goblins aren't actually a glitch or anything, if you search in Wiki there are actually quite a few different spots where you can find them documented. Still quite funny though.

I saw the Leyawiin guards fighting the Bleak Mine guards (the one with Lord Drad's ogre slaves) outside Leyawiin castle (the Leyawiin guards won).

Weird, since Bleak Mine is hundreds of miles away from Leyawiin. Still haven't figured out what that was all about.

You're a Bandit standing in a hollow within a mine cavern. All of a sudden, a steel-tipped arrow whistles out of the blackness and plants itself squarely in the middle of your chest. As poison begins seeping out of the wound, you wonder if it...

That's like putting braille lettering on a drive-through ATM. Completely illogical.

Ever go into the Chorrol Mages Guild? There's only one unowned bed, and if you sleep in it and wake up in the middle of the night, that wood elf guy would be there sleeping with you. It's a one-person bed. Even better, he's sleeping at a 45* angle. His feet are inside the bed and his head will be stuck several feet above the pillow.

And the reason Chorrol is short of free beds is because Alberic Litte has an owned bed within the Guild Hall, despite the fact that he has his very own house!

On that same grace, the Cheydinhal Mages' Guild hall is short a bed, sort of. You'll always find one of the mages standing around at night, staring at someone occupying a bed. This is despite the fact that Orintur owns a house (Willow Bank) and there are plenty of free beds available in the guild hall's basement level.

One time i was eavesdropping on a guard and a commoner's conversation it went like this....
Guard:Good news finally from Kvatch, it seems all the daedra have been driven out for good!
Commoner:That's nice to hear...Good news finally from Kvatch, it seems all the daedra have been driven out for good!
Guard:Well that's good to hear

Also one time when i was closing a gate at chorrol for allies for bruma
that curse bringer guy, the captain of the guard told me that if the guards didn't do anything about the gate he'd have to leave :) it's like come on buddy your the guard...


and lastly onetime i was in the sewers and heard these 2 bandit guys talking like this

I saw some mudcrabs by the water the other day, I STEERED CLEAR OF THEM

then i charged them and the retort came out from them I'VE FOUGHT MUDCRABS TOUGHER THEN U!

Okay, this one was really weird. I did the Leyawiin Mages Guild recommendation earlier, and at Fort Blueblood, 3 of the first 4 people I encountered were Orcs....IDENTICAL Orcs. I mean, down to the last face wrinkle. All 3 were dead ringers for each other. I should know; 2 were in the same room. :lol:

And then another time, I was doing the Desolate Mine quest, and I ran ahead to trip the log trap that someone invariably always dies from, and when I did, not only did it kill a goblin, that goblin's body lurched upward, and got stuck in the overhangning board; its head was above the board, and its body was hanging below. I couldn't quite figure out how that worked.

I was in the Mages' Guild hall in Chorrol and one of the mages went to bed and instead of lying down on his bed he laid down and was floating in the air beside it. He woke up shortly afterward to tell me I look comfortable in heavy armor.

My first character was a male Breton Spellsword with dark hair in the 'natural' style. Imagine my reaction when I cut down a vampire Spellsword while Beneath the Bloodworks, the turned the corpse over to find a vampiric dead-ringer for my own character.
