Well, that was a bit much.

Post by calicocidd »

So last night I was walking to Shearpoint to get my Krosis mask, when along the way I had a random Frost Dragon encounter. No big deal, I kill when I am attacked by a Snowy Sabre Cat, 3 Frostbite Spiders, and 2 Frost Trolls. I take them all out; finally loot my Dragon when I hear ANOTHER dragon roar, great now an Elder dragon attacks me. I kill him as well, proceed up to shearpoint, and fight another Frost dragon and Krosis.
So in 10 minutes I fight:
1 Dragon Lord
1 Elder Dragon
1 Snowy Sabre Cat
2 Frost Dragons
2 Frost Trolls
And 3 Frostbite Spiders.

Has anyone else had something like this where you have fought a large group of enemies just walking around; or did I somehow anger the gaming gods?

I was being chased by Solitude guards up the road when I stumble upon a Bandit ambush, and while I'm trying to fight the bandits and the Imperial soldiers who were chasing me a group of Thalmor jump out and start casting spells and then a bunch of Stormcloaks run down the hill and start hacking at everyone and a pack of wolves run up the road and start biting me and a Boethia cultist starts trying to stab me. And it was the dead of night so I could barely see anything and EVERYONE (3 Imperial soldiers, 3 bandit melees and 2 archers, 4 Thalmor soldiers and a Justiciar, 5 Stormcloak soldiers, 3 wolves, and one Boethia cultist) was attacking me and I barely made it out alive. That was a true story. And a half-naked prisoner ran down the road but I don't know what happened to him.

I have something interesting. I was fighting a dragon at Eldersblood Peak. While fighting 3 odd things happen. This dragon (frost I believe) attacked something else, that I could not see right away. Then he comes down for a VERY hard landing, leaving a dirt trail all the way from steps to wall, leaving behind a frost troll. I kill it, obsorb the soul, and get the bones and scales. After I get the new word, I turn around and it looks as though this dragon had clutched a cow in its feet, and it was still in that postion dead of course!

The most surprising was the massive length of dirt trail.

A sabre cat, a dragon and a group of Forsworn.

I hate the Forsworn. They are on par with the Falmer in my "annoying as hell" list.

I fast travelled once and at my destination I was being attacked by a couple of wolves, a sabre cat, a bear and a dragon.

Wasn't too bad but I didn't even realise there was anything except wolves at first... xD

I once was fighting a dragon and thought it would be a good idea to attract some giants so the two could kill each other.

It was not a good idea.

My biggest melee was between half a dozen or so bandits, a giant, and a dragon. I've taken on two dragons, a dragon and two giants, with or without a mammoth getting involved a couple times each too though. Nothing as crazy as OP. Fun times, hah.

I remember being in Dustman's Cairn, and something in the script the waves broke, so I had about 20 draugr at once.

I remember a quest I completed at level 45 (or there abouts) in my last play through that involved a rather protracted fight with 11 draugr deathlords.

Nine Thalmor Justiciars who all went hostile on me when the final trio showed up.

The last three happened to have a death-warrant with my name on it. Soon as they attacked, the six otherwise indifferent Thalmor I was shadowing joined in on the festivities.
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.
